HOLMAN & CO. .? 5 / PREFACE The Bible, strictly speaking, is not a book, but a library of brief writings, some of wliicli contain histories, some codes of laws, some prophecies, some collections of religious songs and proverbs, and some epistles. This library is divided into two parts, the one containing records of the history and reli- gious development of the Jews before the time of Christ, — the other the distinctive Chris- tian literature produced by the followers of Our Lord during the first century after His appearance on earth. • Con., ared with aU other literary productions, the Bible stands singularly and peculiarly alone. The earliest part of it is the oldest record in the world which lays any claim to being ■ -"■ .-orthy history. It traces that history back to its very beginnings, and develops it from ,ious standpoint, throvdng a Divine light upon it all. As a- whole it bears the impress ration, by which its authors were divinely guided to tell the Divine shaping of events. The Jews were the chosen people of God. From the very earliest times. He was in constant communication with them. Individual and tribal responsibilities were the ever-present and dominating ideas.; and while all were not invested with the prophetic gift. He chose, from among them, such as were fitted to receive the Divine commimication, and they became the real teachers of the race. This process of revelation culminated in Jesus, in whom the indwelling of the Divine Spirit was perfect, unchecked by any sin or imperfection of His own being, so that every act and word of this Light of the World became a word of God to men, and His whole being was the Word of God. The proof that this collection of literature is the Word of God is ttat It possesses the quali- ties and powers that belong to such a Word. It is true ; and being true, it appeals to our sense of the truth, and approves itself to us. The truth that the Bible conveys being of the highest order, it kindles the minds that speak it to high and great expression ; and the minds that receive it, to respond to its greatness. But above all, being moral and spiritual truth coming from God Himself, it is an instrument by which the Spirit quickens those " dead in trespasses and sins," and imparts spiritual life to men. It tells its own story best when it says : — " God, who at sundry times and In divers man- ners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son." PREFACE. In this new edition of the large type Holman Self -Pronouncing Sunday-School Teacher's Bible, the same plan of syllabification and accentuation has been carried out which caused our Minion type Sunday-School Teacher's Bible to be so universally popular. Every proper name in the text is syllabified and accented, and the many variable vowels and consonants are diacritically marked according to the most reliable modern standards of pronunciation. The clearness of tlie page, the admirable arrangement of its myriads of references, its size, convenience, beauty, and durability, combine to render it superior to all other editioriS of the Sacred Word for ready reference and e very-day use. In addition to the text of the Old and New Testaments, it contains newly prepared "Aids and Helps/' — a vast encyclopedia of information on Biblical subjects, the fruits of the ripest and rarest scholarship, — all digested and arranged so that the humblest inquirer can have con- venient access to them. IsTeither time, labor, nor expense has been spared to render this edition worthy of the confidence of the people ; and it is our earnest hope that many a one who has not hith- erto found attractions in the pages of the Bible will be able to say, "Thy word is a lamp mito my feet, and a light unto my path." A KEY TO THE PRONUNCIATION OP SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. EXPLANATION. It is well known that the Scriptures are filled with many words of obscure derivation and meaning, and that it is difficult to determine their correct pronunciation. This difficulty is now removed, as the new self-pronouncing feature has been specially prepared to ovet- come it. In the proper names the syllables are separated by liji^hens (-), and the accented syllable is marked with the acute accent ('). The quantity of the vowel sounds, whether long, inter- mediate, or short, and their quality, whether broad, obtuse, obscure, or otherwise, as well as the value of the consonants, are shown in the following tables. By pajdag attention to this explanation, and applying it to the proper names in the text, the reader will easily leara to pronounce all of thena correctly.

CHAPTER 13. 1 Ahram and Lot return out of Egypt. 7 By dis- agreement they part asunder. 10 Lot goeth to ^vic/ced Sodom. 14 God reneweth the promise to Abram. 18 He removeth to Hebron, and there buildeth an altar. AND A'bram went up out of a\. E'gypt, he, and his Avife, and all that he had, and L6t with him " into the south. 2 ^ And A'bram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journeys ^ from the south even to Beth'-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth'-el and Ha'I ; 4 Unto the ^ place of- ^e altar, which he had made there at the first : and there A'bram ^ called on the name of the Lord. 5 IT And L5t also, which went with A'bram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And -^the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was ^ a strife between the herdmen of A'brarn's cattle and the herdmen of L6t's cattle : ^ and the Ca'naan-ite and the Per'iz-zite dwelled then in the land. 8 And A'bram said unto L5t, * Let there be no strife, I pray thee, be- tween me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen ; for we he ^ brethren. ^ ^ Is not the whole land before thee ? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me : ^ if thou wilt take the left Ahram and Lot sejmrate. GENESIS, 14. Jiand, then I will go to the right ; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 10 And L6t lifted up his eyes, and beheld all "' the plain of Jor'dan, that it ivas well watered every where, before the Lord ''^ destroyed SOd'om and G6-niQr'rah, '^even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of E'gY'pt, as thou comest unto P Zo'ar. 11 Then L5t chose him all the plain of Jor'dan ; and Lot journeyed east : and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12 A'bram dwelled in the land of Ca'naan, and Lot ^ dwelled in the cities of the plain, and ^ pitched his tent toward Sod'om. 13 But the men of SSd'om ^ were wicked and ^ sinners before the Lord exceedingly. 14 *[ And the Lord said unto A'bram, after that L6t " was separa- ted from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art ^ northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward : 15 For all the land which thou seest, y to thee will I give it, and ^ to thy seed for ever. 16 And "^ I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth : so that If a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it ; for I will give it unto thee. 18 Then A'bram removed his tent, and came and ^ dwelt in the ^ plain of Mam're, ^ which is in He'bron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.

Ye are spies ; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. 11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

XXXV. 19). The traditional site of her tomb is on the road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, about half a mile from the latter place. An insignificant white building with a dome of Moslem style marks the spot. This building has been repeatedly restored, and the present one dates from the fifteenth century. The tomb is revered by Christians, Mohammedans, and Jews alike, and is visited annually by many reverent pilgrims. The pillar originally set up by Jacob (Gen. xxxv. 20) was in existence during the time of Samuel and Saul (i Sam. x. 2).

Wherefore do ye, Mo'se§ and Aar'on, let the people from their works ? get you unto your ^ burdens. 5 And Pha'raoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are ^ many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 6 And Pha'raoh commanded the same day the ^taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, 7 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore : let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them ; ye shall not dimin- ish ought thereof : for they he idle ; therefore they cry, saying. Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 9 ^Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein ; and let them not regard vain words. 10 IT And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, say- ing, Thus saith Pha'raoh, I will not give 3^ou straw. 11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it : yet not ought of your work shall be diminished. 12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of E'gypt to gather stubble instead of straw. 13 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying. Fulfil your works, ^your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 14 And the officers of the children of I§'ra-el, which Pha'raoh's task- masters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore? 15 "^ Then the officers of the chil- dren of Ii^'ra-el came and cried unto Moses complaineth to God.

Ye are idle, ye are idle : therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the Lord. 18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. 19 And the officers of the children of I§'ra-el did see that they were in evil case, after it was said. Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task. 20 IT And they met Mo'§e§ and Aar'on, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pha'raoh : 21 ^ And they said unto them. The Lord look upon you, and judge ; be- cause ye have made our savour ^ to be abhorred in the eyes of Pha'raoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 22 And Mo'§es returned unto the Lord, and said.

And Ba'lak the son of Zip'por ivas king of the Mo'ab-ites at that time. 5 ^He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Be'or to -^Pe'thor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his peo- ple, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from E'gypt: behold, they cover the ^ face of the earth, and they abide over against me : 6 Come now therefore, I Drav thee, ^ curse me this people ; for they are too mighty for me : peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land : for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 7 And the elders of Mo'ab and the elders of Mid'i-an departed with ^ the rewards of divination in their hand ; and they came unto Ba'laam, and spake unto him the words of Ba'iak. 8 And he said unto them, * Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the Lord shall speak B.

This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest ; and this is the refreshing : yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line ; here a little, and there a little ; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 14 'TT Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Je-ru'sa-lem. 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us : ^ for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves : 16 IT Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zr5n for a foundation ^ a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone., a sure foun- dation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plum- met : and the hail shall sweep away ™ the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18 IT And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agree- ment with hell shall not stand ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be ® trodden down by it. 19 From the time that it goeth forth God's heavy judgment ISAIAH, 29. upon Jerusalem. it shall take you : for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night : and it shall be a vexa- tion only ^ to understand the report. 20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it : and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount ^ Per'a-zim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of ^Gib'e-on, that he may do his work, p his strange work ; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 22 Now therefore be ye not mock- ers, lest your bands be made strong : for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts ^ a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth. 23 IT Give ye ear, and hear my voice ; hearken, and hear my speech. 24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow ? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in ^ the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the * rie in their ^ place ? 26 ^ For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 27 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. 28 Bread co7m is bruised ; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it ivith the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen. 29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, *" which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

Lord, who is it? 26 Je'§us answered, He it is, to whom i shall give a *sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Ju'das Is-car'i-ot, the son of Si'mon. 27 ^ And after the sop Saltan en- tered into him.

JOHN, 14. his disciples. 35 ^By this shall all nfien know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 36 IT Si'mon Pe'ter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Je'§us answered him. Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now ; but ^ thou shalt follow me afterwards. 37 Pe'ter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will ™lay down my life for thy sake. 38 Je'§us answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 °' Every branch in me that bear- eth not fruit he taketh away : and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 ^Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ^ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of it- self, except it abide in the vine ; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 1 am the vine, ye are the branches : He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much ^ fruit : for ^ without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, ^ he is cast forth as a branch, and is wi- thered ; and men gather them, and cast them, into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, -f ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done nnto you.

Silver and gold have I none ; but such as I have give I thee : ^ In the name of Je'§us Christ of Naz'a-reth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted Mm up : and imme- diately his feet and ancle bones re- ceived strength. 8 And he •J'' leaping uj* stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9 s^And all the people saw him walking and praising God : 10 And they knew that it was he which ^ sat for alms at the Beauti- ful gate of the temple : and they were filled with wonder and amaze- ment at that which had happened unto him. 11 And as the lame man which was healed held Pe'ter and J6hn, all the people ran together unto them in the porch * that is called SSro-mon's, greatly wondering. 12 "ITAnd when Pe'ter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of I§'ra-el, why marvel ye at this ? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holi- ness we had made this man to walk ? 13 ^ The God of A'bra-ham, and of l'§aac, and of Ja'cQb, the God of our fathers, ^ hath glorified his Son Je'§us; whom ye "* delivered up, and ^denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Mtyi go. 14 But ye denied ^ the Holy One ^ and the Just, and desired a mur- derer to be granted unto you ; Ml Teter exhorteth to repentance.

CHAPTER 10. 1 Cornelius, a devotU man, 5 behig commanded by an angel, sendetfifor Peter. 44 The Holy Ghost Jalleth on the com-pany, 48 and they are baptized. THERE was a certain man in Qaes- a-re'a called Cor-ne'ljus, a cen- turion of the band called the I-tal'- jan band, 2 "' A devout man, and one that ^ feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the peo- ple, and prayed to God alway. 3 ^He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cor-ne'lius. 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said. What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to JSp'pS,, and call for one Si'mon, whose sur- name is Pe'ter : 6 He lodgeth with one ^ Si'mon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side : ^ he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 7 And when the angel which spake unto Cor-ne'ljus was departed, he called two of his household ser- vants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to J5p'pa. 9 H On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, -^Pe'ter went up upon the house top to pray about the sixth hour : 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And ^ saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth : 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him. Rise, Pe'ter ; kill, and eat. Cornelius sendeth for Peter, ACTS, 10. u'ho preacheth Christ to hirru 14 But Pe'ter said, Not so, Lord ; ^ for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, ^ What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16 This was done thrice : and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 17 xsow while Pe'ter doubted in himself what this \"ision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cor-ne'- Ijus had made enquiry for Simmon's house, and stood before the gate, 18 And called, and asked whether Si'mon, which was surnamed Pe'ter, were lodged there. 19 •^ While Pe'ter thought on the vision, ^the Spirit said unto him, Behold, thi'ee men seek thee. 20 ^ Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go Avith them, doubting nothing : for I have sent them. 21 Then Pe'ter went down to the men which were sent unto him from C6r-ne'li.us; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek : what is the cause wherefore ye are come ? 22 And they said, '" Cor-ne'lius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and ''^of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. 23 Then called he them in, and lodg- ed them. And on the morrow Pe'ter went awav with them, ° and certain brethren from Jop'pa accompanied him. 24 And the morrow after they en- tered into Qaes-a-re'a. And C6r-ne'- Ijus waited for them, and had call- ed together his kinsmen and near friends. 2-5 And as Pe'ter wascoming in, Cor- ne'ljus met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 26 But Pe'ter took him up, saying, P Stand up ; I myself also am a man. 27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. 28 And he said unto them.

And his chains fell off from his hands. 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy san- dals. And so he did. And he saitli unto him. Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 9 And he went out, and followed him ; and ^ wist not that it was true which was done by the angel ; but thought -^ he saw a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city ; ^ which opened to them of his own accord : and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. 11 And when Pe'ter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that ''^^the Lord hath sent his angel, and *hath delivered me out of the hand of Her'od, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 12 And when he had considered the thing, ^he came to the house of Ma'ry^ the mother of ^ John, whose surname was Mark ; where many were gathered together "Spraying. 13 And as Pe'ter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came ^ to hearken, named Rho'da, 14 And when she knew Pe'ter's ^^oice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Pe'ter stood before the gate.

And he said, Go shew these things unto Jame§, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place. 18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Pe'ter. 19 And when Her'od had sought for him, and found him not, he ex- amined the keepers, and command- ed that they should be put to death. And he went down from Ju-dse'a to 9Ss-a-re'a, and there abode. 20 IT And Her'od ^ was highly dis- pleased with them of Tyre and Si'- d6n : but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blas'tus ^ the king's chamberlain their friend, desiredpeace;because^their country was nourished by the king's country. 21 And upon a set day Her'od, ar- rayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord ^ smote him, because *' he gave not God the glory : and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. 24 1[ But * the word of God grew and multiplied. 25 And Bar'na-bas and Saul re- turned from Je-ru'sa-lem, when they had fulfilled their '^ministry, and *took with them '^* J6hn, whose sur- name was Mark.

And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness ; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being as- tonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Pa'phos, they came to Per'ga in Pam-phyri-a : and ^ J6hn departing from them returned to Je-rvj'sa-lSro. u"^ O _+^ O [L 6J0 c^ O 03 0) -^ +-> r7-( -C "^ •Tl o "^ O T i-i.

Re- vilest thou God's high priest ? 5 Then said Paul, ^ I wist not, bre- thren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, ^ Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sad'du-9ee§, and the other Phar'i-sees, he cried out in the council. Men and brethren, -^I am a Phar'i-see, the son of a Phar'- i-see : ^ of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. 7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Phar'i-sees and the Sad'du-ceeg: and the multitude was divided. 8 '^For the Sad'du-cees say that there is no resurrection, neither an- gel, nor spirit : but the Phar'i-sees confess both. 9 And there arose a great cry : and the scribes that were of the Phar'i- see§' part arose, and strove, saying, a ch. 24. 16. 1 Cor. 4. 4. 2 Cor. 1. 12 ; 4. 2. 2 Tim. 1. 3.

Be of good cheer, Paul : for as thou hast testified of me in Jg-ru'sa-lem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. 12 And when it was day, '^ certain of the Jew§ banded together, and bound themselves ^ under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. 14 Andthey came to thechief priests and elders, and said. We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. 15 Now therefore ye with the coun- cil signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to mor- row, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concern- ing him : and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. 16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 17 Then Paul called one of the cen- turions unto Mm, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief cap- tain : for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto M?7i, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. 19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with Mm aside privately, and asked him., What is that thou hast to tell me ? 20 And he said, ° The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to mor' Paul is sent to Felix.

Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to QEes-a-re'a, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night ; 24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Fe'lix the governor. 25 And he wrote a letter after this manner : 26 Clau'di-us Lys'ias unto the most excellent governor Fe'lix sendeth greeting. 27 ^This man was taken of the Jew§, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Ro'man. 28 ^ And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council : 29 Whom I perceived to be accused ''of questions of their law, *but to have nothing laid to his charge wor- thy of death or of bonds. 30 And *when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and "gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him.

Wherefore 1 have brought him forth before you. and specially before thee, O king A-grip'pa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write. 27 For it seemeth to me unreason- able to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him. CHAPTER 26. 2 Paul, before Agrippa, declareth his life, 12 and how he was converted. 24 Festus chargeth him to be Tnad. 2% Agrippa almost persuaded to be a Christian.

Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself : 2 I think myself happy, king A-grip'pa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jew§ : 3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and ques- tions which are among the Jew§ : wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. 4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jg-r^'sa-lgm, know all the Jew§ ; Paurs defence ACTS, 26. before Agrippa. 5 Which knew me from the begin- ning, if they would testify, that after " the most straitest sect of our reli- gion I lived a Phjir'i-see. 6 ^ And now I stand and am judged for the hope of ^ the promise made of God unto our fathers : 7 Unto which promise ^ our twelve tribes, instantly serving God ^ ^ day and night, -^hope to come. For which hope's sake, king A-grip'pa, I am accused of the Jew§. 8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? 9^1 verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things con- trary to the name of Je'§us of Naz'- a-reth. 10 ^ Wnich thing I also did in Je- ru'sa-lem; and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having re- ceived authority *from the chief priests ; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 11 ^And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled i/iem to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. 12 ^ Whereupon as I went to Da- mS-s'cus with authority and commis- sion from the chief priests, 13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the He'brew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me ? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15 And I said. Who art thou, Lord ? And he said, I amJe'§us whom thou persecutest. 16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, "* to make thee a minis- ter and a witness both of these things which thou, hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17 Delivering thee from the people.

I know that thou believest. 28 Then A-grip'pa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Chris'tjaUo 29 And Paul said, ^I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. 30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Ber-ni'pe, and they that sat with them: 31 And when they were gone aside, PauVs voyage ACTS, 27. toward Rome, they talked between themselves, saying, -^This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 32 Then said A-grip'pa unto Fes'- tus. This man might have been set at liberty, ^ if he had not appealed unto Qse'gar. CHAPTER 27. \ Paul shipping toward Rome, 10 foretelleth of the, danger of the voyage. 14 They are tossed to and fro with tempest., 41 and suffer shipwreck, 22, 34, 44 yet all come safe to land. AND when "it was determined jl\, that we should sail into It'a- }f, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Ju'- ^us, a centurion of Au-gus'tus' band. 2 And entering into a ship of Ad- ra-mj^t'ti-um, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of A'§ja; one ^ Ar-is-tar'chus, a Mac-e-do'ni-an of Thes-sa-16-nrca, being with us. 3 And the next day we touched at Si'don. And Ju'ljus ^ courteously en- treated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Qy'prus, be- cause the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Qi-ircja and Pam-phyl'i-a, we came to My'ra, a city of Ly^'cja. 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Al-ex-an'dri-a sailing into It'a-ly ; and he put us therein. 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cni'dus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under ^ Crete, over against Sal-mo 'ne ; 8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens ; nigh whereunto was the city o/La-se'a. 9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now danger- ous, ^ because the fast was now al- ready past, Paul admonished i/iem, 10 And said unto them, Sirs, I per- ceive that this voyage will be with ^hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11 Nevertheless the centurion be- lieved the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not A.

Sirs, ye should have heark- ened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer : for there shall be no loss of any man^s life among you, but of the ship. 23 -^For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and ^whom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before 98B'§ar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer : ^ for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26 Howbeit *we must be cast upon a certain island. raid sitffereth shipiureek ; ACTS, 28. hut all come safe to land. 27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in A'dri-A, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country ; 28 And sounded, and found it twen- ty fathoms : and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the f oreship, 31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers. Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought theifn all to take meat, saying, This day is the four- teenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken no- thing. 34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health : for ^ there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 35 And when he had thus spoken, lie took bread, and ^ gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken li, he began to eat. 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. 37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen "^ souls. 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 39 And when it was day, they knew not the land : taut they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. 4.0 And when they had ^ taken up the anchors, they committed them- selves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made to- ward shore.

And so it came to pass, " that they escaped all safe to land.

Men and brethren, * though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet ^was I delivered prisoner from J$-rii'sa-lem into the hands of the Ro'man§. 18 Who, ^ when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. 19 But when the Jew§ spake against it, "^I was constrained to appeal unto ^aB'§ar ; not that I had ought to ac- cuse my nation of. 20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you^ and to speak with you: because that ** for A.

Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive : 27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent "unto the Cen'tlleg, and that they will hear it. 29 And when he had said these words, the Jew§ departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. 30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 31 ^ Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those thingswhich concern the Lord Je'§us Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

P AUL, a servant of Je'§us Christ, ^ called to he an apostle, ^ sepa- rated unto the gospel of God, 2 (''Which he had promised afore ^ by his prophets in the holy scrip- tures,) 3 Concerning his Son Je'§us Christ our Lord, ^ which was ^ made of the seed of Da'vid according to the flesh; 4 And ^ sr declared to he the Son of God with power, according ^ to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrec- tion from the dead : 5 By whom * we have received grace and apostleship, ^ for ^ obedi- ence to the faith among all nations, ^ for his name : 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Je'§us Christ : 7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, "* called to he saints : ** Grace to you and peace from God our Fa- ther, and the Lord Je'§us Christ. 8 First, ° I thank my God through Je'§us Christ for you all, that^ your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For 5 God is my witness, ''whom 1 serve * with my spirit in the gos- pel of his Son, that * without ceas- ing I make mention of you always in my prayers ; 10 * Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey ^ by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that ^I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be estab- lished ; 12 That is, that I may be comfort- ed together ^with you by ^ the mu- tual faith both of you and me. 13 Now I would not have you ig- norant, brethren, that ^oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but ** was let hitherto,) that I might have some ^ fruit ^ among you also, even as among other Gen'tile§. 14 ** I am debtor both to the Greeks, A.

No, in no wise : for we have before ^ proved both Jew§ and Gen'- tile§, that ^ they are all under sin ; 10 As it is written, '^^ There is none righteous, no, not one : 11 There is none that understand- eth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofita- ble : there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 '^ Their throat is an open sepul- chre ; with their tongues they have used deceit ; ^ the poison of asps is under their lips : 14 P Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness : 15 5 Their feet are swift to shed blood : 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways : 17 And the way of peace have they not known : 18 ^ There is" no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever * the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law : that * every mouth may be stopped, and ^all the world may become ^guilty before God. 20 Therefore ^ by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight : for ^ by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now ^the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, ^' being witnessed by the law ^ and the prophets ; '^2 Even the righteousness of God Abraham justified ROMANS, 4. by faith. which is ^ by faith of Je'§us Christ unto all and upon all them that be- lieve : for ^ there is no difference : 23 For ^ all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God ; 24 Being justified freely -^by his grace ^through the redemption that is in Christ Je'§us : 25 Whom God hath ^ set forth ^ to be a propitiation through faith * in his blood, to declare his righteous- ness ^ for the ^ remission of ' sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say., at this time his righteousness : that he might be just, and the justifler of him which believeth in Je'§us. 27 "^ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law ? of works ? Nay : but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude '^that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jew§ only? is he not also of the Gen'tile§? Yes, of the Gen'tile§ also : 30 Seeing ° it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith ? God forbid : yea, we establish the law. CHAPTER 4. i Ain'aham justified by faith. 13 By faith only he and his seed received the promise.

Not in circumcision, but ^ in uncircumcision. 11 And ^ he received the sign of cir- cumcision,aseal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised : that ^he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed un- to them also : 12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circum- cision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father ACbra-ham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13 For the promise, that he should be the * heir of the world, was not to A'bra-ham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteous- ness of faith. 14 For ^ if they which are of the law he heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect : 15 Because ^the law worketh wrath : for where no law is, there is no trans- gression. 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might he ^ by grace ; ^ to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of A'bra-ham ; ° who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, ^ I have made thee a father of many nations,) * be- fore him whom he believed, even God, 5 who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those ^ things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the fa- ther of many nations, according to that which was spoken, ® So shall thy seed be. Teace ivlth God hy faith. 19 And being not weak in faith, ^ he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sa'rah's womb : 20 He staggered not at the promise of God tlirough unbehef ; iDut was strong in faith, gi\^ng glory to God ; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, " he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now ^ it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe ^ on him that raised up Je'§us our Lord from the dead; 25 ^ Who was dehvered for our of- fences, and *was raised again for our justification.

THEREFORE =^ being justified by faith, we have ^ peace with God through our Lord Je'sus Christ: 2 ^ By whom also we have access by faith into this grace '^ wherein we stand, and ^ rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so., but -^we glory in tribulations also : ^ knowing that tribulation worketh patience ; 4 ^ And patience, experience ; and experience, hope : 5 * And hope make th not ashamed; '^because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Ho'ly Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, ^ in due time ^ Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die : yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But "^ God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justi- fied "" by his blood, we shall be saved °from wrath through him. 10 For P if, when we were enemies, ^ we were reconciled to God by the ROMANS, 5.

For if through the of- fence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Je'sus Christ, hath abounded ^unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift : for the judg- ment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if ^by oneman's offence death reigned by one ; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Je'sus Christ.) 18 Therefore as ^ by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so '^by the righteousness of one the free gift came " upon all men unto justifica- tion of fife. 19 For as by one man's disobedi- ence many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover ^ the law entered, that the offence might abound.

CHAPTER 7. 1 No latv hath potver over a man longer than he liveth, 7 Fet is not the law sin, 12 but holy, just, good. KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath domin- ion over a man as long as he liveth ? 2 For * the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth ; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then ^ if, while her husband liv- eth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress : but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become ^ dead tc the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be marri'^d to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should ^ bring forth fruit unto God. Christ freeth from ROMANS, 8. the law of sin. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the •^ motions of sins, which were by the law, ^ did work in our members ^to bring forth fruit unto death, 6 But now we are dehvered from the law, ^that being dead wherein we were held ; that we should serve ^ in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 7 What shall we say then ? Is the law sin ? God forbid. Nay, '^ I had not known sin, but by the law : for I had not known '^ lust, except the law had said, ^Thou shalt not covet. 8 But ^ sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For 'with- out the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once : but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, '"* which was ordained to life, I found to he unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore '^ the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me ? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good ; that sin by the command- ment might become exceeding sin- ful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual : but I am carnal, ^ sold un- der sin. 15 For that which I do I ^ allow not : for ^ what I would, that do I not ; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that His good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that ^ in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing : for to will is present with me ; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not : but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it A.

CHAPTER 11. 1 God hath not cast off all Israel. 16 There is hope of their conversion. 33 Gocfs judgments are un- searchable. I SAY then, " Hath God cast away his people ? God forbid. For ^I also am an Is'ra-el-Ite, of the seed of A'bra-ham, of the tribe of Ben'- ja-niin. 2 God hath not cast away his peo- ple which ^ he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith ^ of fi-li'as? how he maketh intercession to God against Is'ra-el, saying, 3 '^ Lord, they have killed thy pro- phets, and digged down thine altars ; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him ? ^ I have reserved to my- self seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Ba'al. 5 -^Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant accord- ing to the election of grace. 6 And ^ if by grace, then is it no more of works : otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace : otherwise work is no more work. 7 What then? ^Is'ra-el hath not obtained that which he seeketh for ; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were ^blinded 8 (According as it is written, *God hath given them the spirit of ^ slum- ber, '^eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear ;) unto this day. 9 And Da'vid saith, ^ Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them : 10 "^ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. Ill say then. Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid : but rather ^ through their fall salva- tion is come unto the Gen'tiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the ^di- minishing of them the riches of the (jren'tile§ ; how much more their \ fulness? 13 For I speak to you (jren'tile§, in- 73 A.

But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then. The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. ■" Be not highminded, but ^ fear : 21 For if God spared not the nat- ural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God : on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, 2/ if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise ^thou also Shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, "if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in : for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree : how much more shall these, which be the nat- ural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mys- tery, lest ye should be ^ wise in your own conceits; that ^'^bhndness in part is happened to Is'ra-el, '^ until the fulness of the Gen'tile§ be come in. 26 And so all I§'ra-el shall be saved : as it is written, ^ There shall come God' s judgments unsearchable.

IETa man so account of us, as of i " the ministers of Christ, ^ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stew- ards, that a man be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's "^judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For I know nothing by myself ; ^ yet am. I not hereby justified : but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5 *^ Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, ^ who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts : and -^then shall every man have praise of God. 6 And these things, brethren, ^ 1 have in a figure transferredto myself and to A-pSriQs for your sakes ; '^that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you * be puffed up for one against another. 7 For who ^ maketh thee to differ from another f and ^ what hast thou that thou didst not receive ? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, asif thou hadst not received it ? 8 Now ye are full, ^ now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us : and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. 9 For I think that God hath set forth * us the apostles last, ™ as it were ap- pointed to death : for ^ we are made a ^ spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 ^ We are P fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ ; ^ we are weak, but ye are strong ; ye are hon- ourable, but we are despised. i ver. 4 , 5, 6. ch. 1. 1 2\4 . 6. k 2 Cor . 4. 5, l.i.

IT is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as * named among the Gen'tiles, ^ that one should have his ^ father's wife. 2 ^ And ye are puffed up, and have not rather ^mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Know ye not that ^ a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump ? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even ^ Christ our ** passover ^ is sacrificed for us : 8 Therefore ''let us keep '*the feast, ^not with old leaven, nei- ther 5 with the leaven of malice and wickedness ; but with the unleaven- ed bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle ** not to company with fornicators : 10 ^Yet not altogether with the fornicators * of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go ^ out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, ^ if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idola- ter, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner ; with such an one y no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge ^ them also that are without ? do not ye judge " them that are within ? 13 But them, that are without God judgeth. Therefore ^ put away from among yourselves that wicked per- son. CHAPTER 6. 1 Against going to law. 18 Against sensuality. ,ARE any of you, having a mat- ter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that " the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters ? Against going to law. 3 Know ye not that we shall ^ judge angels ? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 ^If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteem- ed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbe- lievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. ^ Why do ye not rather take wrong ? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be de- frauded ? 8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, ^ and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unright- eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceived : -^neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adul- terers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extor- tioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were S'some of you: '^but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Je'§us, and by the Spirit of our God. 12 * All things are lawful unto me, but air things are not ^expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 '^ Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats : but God shall de- stroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but ^ for the Lord ; *^ and the Lord for the body. 14 And ** God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us ° by his own power. 15 Know ye not that ^your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christy Titus 3. 3. h ch. 1. 30.

NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me : " It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 ^ Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence : and like- wise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband : and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 ^ Defraud ye not one the other, except it dewith consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fast- ing and prayer ; and come together again, that ^ Saltan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6 But I speak this by permission, ^ and not of commandment. 7 For-^I would that all men were ^ even as I myself. But ^ every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, * It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9 But ^ if they cannot contain, let them marry : for it is better to marry than to burn.

What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise yov^ not. 23 For ^ I have received of the Lord that which also 1 delivered unto you, ^That the Lord Je'sus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread : 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake ii, and said.

If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling ? 18 But now hath ^God set the members every one of them in the body, ^ as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one mem- ber, where were the body ? 20 But now are they many mem- bers, yet but one body, 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee*, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members 5.

GATE OF THE APPIAN WAY, ROME. — This ancient and massive gateway is the exit from and entrance to Rome of the famous Via Appia, " Appian Way," whose construction was begun by Appius Claudius, B.C. 312, and which, when completed, B.C. 30, extended from Rome to Brundusium, a distance of 350 miles. It was through this gate and along this way that the brethren of Paul hastened to meet him when he was being carried as a prisoner to Rome. The meeting took place at Appii Forum, a town 43 miles south of Rome. When Paul met the brethren, " he thanked God, and took courage " (Acts xxviii. 15). The passage back through the gateway meant an imprisonment of two years for Paul, and, as some say, his martyrdom. itii,'&»-l^Sif-: OS CO I/) '3 ^ ° ^ o X! g TJ -4-> ^1^ in fl -. co~ C 5 3.t; in ^ in > 0) O rf 0) - in > in ^ -2 bj lU Ui o 5 J3 ^ . ^2 oi a> 3 - CO O o EL tS m SJ "^ S .^ ^ :S m O en ^ - CO o • 1— * en 3 OS o ^ "S -5 .2 4 O) >*>• The viystkal boihj of ChrisL 1 CORINTHIANS, 14.

I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also : ^ I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing *^with the understanding also. 16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupi- eth the room of the unlearned say Amen ^ at thy giving of thanks, see- ing he understandeth not what thou sayest? 17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 18 1 thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all : 19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my under- standing, that hy ray voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 20 Brethren, '^be not children in understanding: how belt in malice A.
