2 Chronicles 2

2 2 The number of Solomon’s workmen to build the Temple. 3 Solomon sendeth to Huram the King of Tyre for wood and workmen.

¹Then Solomon determined to build an house for the Name of the Lord, and an ^[a]house for his kingdom.

²And Solomon told out seventy thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand men to hew stones in the mountain, and three thousand and ^[b]six hundred to oversee them.

³And Solomon sent to ^[c]Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou hast done to David my father, and didst ^(A)send him cedar trees to build him an house to dwell in so do to me.

⁴Behold, I build an house unto the Name of the Lord my God, to sanctify it unto him, and to burn sweet incense before him, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings of the morning and evening, on the Sabbath days, and in the new months, and in the solemn feasts of the Lord our God: this is a perpetual thing for Israel.

⁵And the house which I build, is great: for great is our God above all gods.

⁶Who is he then that can be able to build him an house, when the heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain him? who am I then that I should build him an house? but I do it to burn ^[d]incense before him.

⁷Send me now therefore a cunning man that can work in gold, in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and in ^[e]crimson and blue silk, and that can grave in graven work with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father hath prepared.

⁸Send me also cedar trees, fir trees and ^[f]^[g]Algummim trees from Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to hew timber in Lebanon: and behold, my servants shall be with thine,

⁹That they may prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I do build, is great and wonderful.

¹⁰And behold, I will give to thy servants the cutters and the hewers of timber twenty thousand ^[h]measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty ^[i]thousand baths of oil.

¹¹Then Huram king of Tyre answered in writing which he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord hath loved his people, he hath made thee King over them.

¹²Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which made the heaven and the earth, and that hath given unto David the King a ^[j]wise son, that hath discretion, prudence and understanding to build an house for the Lord, and a palace for his kingdom.

¹³Now therefore I have sent a wise man, and of understanding of my father Huram’s,

¹⁴The son of a woman, of the ^[k]daughters of Dan: and his father was a man of Tyre, and he can skill to work in gold, in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue silk, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and can grave in all graven works, and broider in all broidered work that shall be given him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

¹⁵Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants.

¹⁶And we will cut wood in Lebanon as much as thou shalt need, and will bring it to thee in ^[l]rafts by the sea to ^[m]Japho, so thou mayest carry them to Jerusalem.

¹⁷¶ And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering that his father David had numbered them: and they were found an hundred and three and fifty thousand, and six hundred.

¹⁸And he set seventy thousand of them to the burden, and fourscore thousand to hew stones in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to cause the people to work.

1 John 2

2 1 He declareth that Christ is our mediator and advocate, 3 and showeth that the knowledge of God consisteth in holiness of life, 12 which appertaineth to all sorts, 14 that depend on Christ alone: 15 Then having exhorteth them to contemn the world, 18 he giveth warning that Antichrists be avoided, 24 and that the known truth be stood unto.

¹My ^[a]little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not: and if any man sin, we have an ^[b]Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Just.

²And he is the ^[c]reconciliation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the ^[d]whole world.

³^[e]And hereby we are sure that we ^[f]know him, ^[g]if we keep his commandments.

⁴^[h]He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

⁵^[i]But he that keepeth his word, in him is the ^[j]love of God perfect indeed: hereby we know that we are in ^[k]him.

⁶^[l]He that saith he remaineth in him, ought even so to walk as he hath walked.

⁷^[m]Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment, which ye have had from the beginning: this old commandment is that word, which ye have heard from the beginning.

⁸^[n]Again, a new commandment I write unto you, that ^[o]which is true in him: and also in you: for the darkness is past, and that true light now shineth.

⁹^[p]He that saith that he is in that light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness, until this time.

¹⁰^(A)He that loveth his brother, abideth in that light, and there is no occasion of evil in him.

¹¹But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

¹²^[q]Little children, ^[r]I write unto you, because your sins are forgiven you for his ^[s]Name’s sake.

¹³^[t]I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. ^[u]I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome that wicked one. ^[v]I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

¹⁴^[w]I have written unto you fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome that wicked one.

¹⁵^[x]Love not this ^[y]world, neither the things that are in this world. If any man love this world, the ^[z]love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶For all that is in this world, (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of this world.

¹⁷^[aa]And this world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth ever.

¹⁸^[ab]^[ac]Little children, ^[ad]it is the last time, ^[ae]and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time.

¹⁹^[af]They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, ^[ag]they should have continued with us. ^[ah]But this cometh to pass, that it might appear, that they are not all of us.

²⁰^[ai]But ye have an ^[aj]ointment from that ^[ak]Holy one, and know all things.

²¹^[al]I have not written unto you, because ye know not the truth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

²²^[am]Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is ^[an]that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.

²³^[ao]Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.

²⁴^[ap]Let therefore abide in you that same which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning, shall remain in you, ye shall also continue in the Son, and in the Father.

²⁵And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even that eternal life.

²⁶^[aq]These things have I written unto you, concerning them that deceive you.

²⁷But that ^[ar]anointing which ye received of him, dwelleth in you: and ye ^[as]need not that any man teach you: but as the same ^[at]anointing teacheth you of all things, and it is true and is not lying, and as it taught you, ye shall abide in him.

²⁸^[au]And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may be bold, and not be ashamed before him, at his coming.

²⁹^[av]If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that he which doeth righteously, is born of him.

Footnotes

1 John 2:1 It followeth not hereof that we must give our wicked nature the bridle, or sin so much the more freely, because our sins are cleansed away by the blood of Christ but we must rather so much more diligently resist sin. And yet we must not despair because of our weakness, for we have an Advocate and a purger, Christ Jesus the just, and therefore acceptable unto his father.
1 John 2:1 In that he nameth Christ he shutteth forth all other.
1 John 2:2 Reconciliation and intercession go together, to give us to understand that he is both advocate and high Priest.
1 John 2:2 For men of all sorts, of all ages and all places, so that this benefit belongeth not to the Jews only, of whom he speaketh, as appeareth 1 John 2:7, but also to other nations.
1 John 2:3 He returneth to the testimony of our conjunction with God, to wit, to sanctification, declaring what it is to walk in the light, to wit, to keep God’s commandments whereby it followeth that holiness doth not consist in those things which men have devised, neither in a vain profession of the Gospel.
1 John 2:3 This must be understood of such a knowledge, as hath faith with it, and not of a common knowledge.
1 John 2:3 For the tree is known by the fruit.
1 John 2:4 Holiness, that is, a life ordered according to the prescript of God’s commandments how weak soever they be, is of necessity joined with faith, that is, with the true knowledge of the Father in the Son.
1 John 2:5 He that keepeth God’s commandments loveth God indeed. He that loveth God, is in God, or is joined together with God. Therefore he that keepeth his commandments, is in him.
1 John 2:5 Wherewith we love God.
1 John 2:5 He meaneth our conjunction with Christ.
1 John 2:6 He that is one with Christ must needs live his life, that is, must walk in his steps.
1 John 2:7 The Apostle going about to expound the commandment of charity one toward another, telleth first, that when he urgeth holiness bringeth no new trade of life (as they use to do which devise traditions, one after another) but putteth them in mind of the same Law which God gave in the beginning, to wit, by Moses, at that time that God began to give Laws to his people.
1 John 2:8 He addeth that the doctrine indeed is old, but it is now after a sort new both in respect of Christ, and also of us: in whom he through the Gospel, engraveth his Law effectually, not in tables of stone, but in our minds.
1 John 2:8 Which thing (to wit, that the doctrine is new of which I write unto you) is true in him and in you.
1 John 2:9 Now he cometh to the second Table, that is, to charity one towards another, and denieth that that man hath true light in him, or is indeed regenerate and the son of God, which hateth his brother: and such an one wandereth miserably in darkness, brag he of never so great knowledge of God, for that wittingly and willingly he casteth himself headlong into hell.
1 John 2:12 He returneth again from sanctification to remission of sins, because that free reconciliation in Christ is the ground of our salvation, whereupon afterwards sanctification must be built as upon a foundation.
1 John 2:12 Therefore I write unto you, because you are of their number whom God hath reconciled to himself.
1 John 2:12 For his own sake: And in that he nameth Christ, he shutteth out all others, whether they be in heaven or earth.
1 John 2:13 He showeth that this doctrine agreeth to all ages, and first of all speaking to old men, he showeth that Christ and his doctrine are passing ancient, and therefore they be delighted with old things, nothing ought to be more acceptable unto them.
1 John 2:13 He advertiseth young men, if they be desirous to show their strength that they have a most glorious combat set here before them, to wit, Satan the worst enemies, who must be overcome: willing them to be as sure of the victory as if they had already gotten it.
1 John 2:13 Finally, he showeth to children, that true Father, from whom they have to look for all good things, is set forth unto them in the Gospel.
1 John 2:14 He addeth afterward in like order, as many exhortations, as if he should say, Remember your fathers: as I wrote even now, that the everlasting Son of God is revealed to us. Remember ye young men, that that strength whereby I said that you put Satan to flight, is given you by the word of God, which dwelleth in you.
1 John 2:15 The world which is full of wicked desires, lusts or pleasures, and pride, is utterly hated of our heavenly Father. Therefore the Father and the world cannot be loved together: and this admonition is very necessary for green and flourishing youth.
1 John 2:15 He speaketh of the world, as it agreeth not with the will of God, for otherwise God is said to love the world with an infinite love, John 3:16, that is to say, those whom he chose out of the world.
1 John 2:15 Wherewith the Father is loved.
1 John 2:17 He showeth how much better it is to obey the Father’s will, than the lusts of the world, by both their natures and unlike event.
1 John 2:18 Now he turneth himself to little children, which notwithstanding are well instructed in the sum of religion, and willeth them by divers reasons to shake off slothfulness, which is too too familiar with that age.
1 John 2:18 He useth this word (little) not because he speaketh to children, but to allure them the more by using such sweet words.
1 John 2:18 First, because the last time is at hand, so that the matter suffereth no delay.
1 John 2:18 Secondly because Antichrists, that is, such as fall from God, are already come, even as they heard that they should come. And it was very requisite to warn that unheedy and wariless age of that danger.
1 John 2:19 A digression against certain offenses and stumbling blocks, whereat that rude age especially might stumble and be shaken. Therefore that they should not be terrified with the soul falling back of certain, first he maketh plain unto them, that although such as fall from God and his religion, had place in the Church, yet they were never of the Church, because the Church is the company of the elect which cannot perish, and therefore cannot fall from Christ.
1 John 2:19 So then the elect can never fall from grace.
1 John 2:19 Secondly, he showeth that these things fall out to the profit of the Church, that hypocrites may be plainly known.
1 John 2:20 Thirdly, he comforteth them to make them stand fast, insomuch as they are anointed by the holy Ghost with the true knowledge of salvation.
1 John 2:20 The grace of the holy Ghost, and this is a borrowed kind of speech taken from the anointings used in the Law.
1 John 2:20 From Christ who is peculiarly called holy.
1 John 2:21 The taking away of an objection. He wrote not these things as to men which are ignorant of religion, but rather as to them which do well know the truth, yet so far forth that they are able to discern truth from falsehood.
1 John 2:22 He showeth now plainly the false doctrine of the Antichrists, to wit, that either they fight against the person of Christ, or his office or both together, and at once. And they that do so do in vain boast and brag of God, for that in denying the Son the Father also is denied.
1 John 2:22 Is the true Messiah.
1 John 2:23 They then are deceived themselves, and also do deceive others, which say that the Turks and other infidels worship the same God that we do.
1 John 2:24 The whole preaching of the Prophets and Apostles is contrary to that doctrine: Therefore it is utterly to be cast away and this wholly to be holden and kept, which leadeth us to seek eternal life in the free promise, that is to say, in Christ alone, who is given to us of the Father.
1 John 2:26 The same Spirit which endueth the elect with the knowledge of the truth, and sanctifieth them, giveth them therewithal the gift of perseverance, to continue to the end.
1 John 2:27 The Spirit which you have received of Christ, and which hath led you into all truth.
1 John 2:27 You are not ignorant of these things, and therefore I teach them not as things that were never heard of, but call them to your remembrance as things which you do know.
1 John 2:27 He commendeth both the doctrine which they had embraced, and also highly praiseth their faith and the diligence of such as taught them, yet so, that he taketh nothing from the honor due to the holy Ghost.
1 John 2:28 The conclusion both of the whole exhortation, and also of the former treatise.
1 John 2:29 A passing over to the treatise following, which tendeth to the same purpose, but yet is more ample, and handleth the same matter after another order: for before he taught us to go up from the effects to the cause, and in this that followeth, he goeth down from the causes to the effects. And this is the sum of the argument: God is the fountain of all righteousness: and therefore they that give themselves to righteousness, are known to be born of him, because they resemble God the Father.

Nahum 1

Nahum

1 Of the destruction of the Assyrians, and of the deliverance of Israel.

¹The ^[a]burden of Nineveh. ^[b]The book of the vision of Nahum the ^[c]Elkoshite.

²God is ^[d]jealous, and the Lord revengeth: the Lord revengeth: even the Lord ^[e]of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

³The ^[f]Lord is slow to anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely clear the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind, and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

⁴He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it, and he drieth up all the rivers: Bashan is wasted and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is wasted.

⁵The mountains tremble for him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burnt at his sight, yea the world, and all that dwell therein.

⁶^[g]Who can stand before his wrath? or who can abide in the fierceness of his wrath? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken by him.

⁷The Lord is good ^[h]and as a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.

⁸But passing over as with a flood, he will utterly destroy the ^[i]place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

⁹What do ye ^[j]imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter destruction: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

¹⁰For he shall come as unto ^[k]thorns folden one in another, and as unto drunkards in their drunken-ness: they shall be devoured as stubble fully dried.

¹¹There ^[l]cometh one out of thee that imagineth evil against the Lord, even a wicked counselor.

¹²Thus saith the Lord, Though they be ^[m]quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall pass by: though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

¹³For now I will break his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

¹⁴And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee that no more of thy name be ^[n]sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven, and the molten image: I will make it thy grave for thee, for thou art vile.

¹⁵^(A)Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that declareth, and publisheth ^[o]peace: O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee: he is utterly cut off.

Luke 17

17 1 Offenses. 3 We must forgive him that trespasseth against us. 10 We are unprofitable servants. 11 Of the ten lepers. 20 Of the coming of the kingdom of heaven. 33 False Christs. 36 After what manner Christ’s coming shall be.

¹Then said he to his disciples, ^(A)^[a]It cannot be avoided, but that offences will come, but woe be to him by whom they come.

²It is better for him that a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea, then that he should offend one of these little ones.

³¶ ^[b]Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him: and if he repent, forgive him.

⁴^(B)And though he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, it repenteth me, thou shalt forgive him.

⁵¶ ^[c]And the Apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

⁶And the Lord said, ^(C)If ye had faith, as much as is ^[d]a grain of mustard seed, and should say unto this mulberry tree, Pluck thyself up by the roots, and plant thyself in the sea, it should even obey you.

⁷¶ ^[e]Who is it also of you, that having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say unto him by and by, when he were come from the field, Go, and sit down at table,

⁸And would not rather say to him, Dress wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward eat thou, and drink thou?

⁹Doth he thank that servant, because he did that which was commanded unto him? I trow not.

¹⁰^[f]So likewise ye, when ye have done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

¹¹¶ ^[g]And so it was when he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria, and Galilee.

¹²And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off.

¹³And they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

¹⁴And when he saw them, he said unto them, ^(D)Go, show yourselves unto the Priests. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁵Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice praised God,

¹⁶And fell down on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

¹⁷And Jesus answered, and said, Are there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

¹⁸There is none found that returned to give God praise, save this stranger.

¹⁹And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath saved thee.

²⁰¶ ^[h]And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them, and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with ^[i]observation.

²¹Neither shall men say, Lo here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdom of God is ^[j]within you.

²²^[k]And he said unto the disciples, the days will come, when ye shall desire to see ^[l]one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

²³^(E)^[m]Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or behold there: but go not thither, neither follow them.

²⁴For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.

²⁵But first must he suffer many things and be reproved of this generation.

²⁶^(F)^[n]And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man.

²⁷They ate, they drank, they married wives, and gave in marriage unto the day that Noah went into the Ark: and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

²⁸^(G)Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.

²⁹But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

³⁰After these examples shall it be in the day when the son of man revealed.

³¹^[o]At that day he that is upon the house, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it out: and he that is in the field likewise, let him not turn back to that he left behind.

³²^(H)Remember Lot’s wife.

³³^(I)Whosoever will seek to save his soul, shall loose it: and whosoever shall loose it, shall ^[p]get it life.

³⁴^(J)I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed: the one shall be received, and the other shall be left.

³⁵Two women shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

³⁶Two shall be in the field: one shall be received, and another shall be left.

³⁷^[q]And they answered, and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, ^(K)Wheresoever the body is, thither shall also the eagles be gathered together.
