38 1 The altar of burnt offerings. 8 The brazen Laver. 9 The Court. 24 The sum of that the people offered.
1 Also he made the altar of the burnt offering of (A)Shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof: it was square and three cubits high.
2 And he made unto it horns in the four corners thereof: the horns thereof were of the same, and he overlaid it with brass.
3 Also he made all the instruments of the altar: the [a]ashpans, and the besoms and the basins, the fleshhooks, and the (B)censers: all the instruments thereof made he of brass.
4 Moreover, he made a brazen grate wrought like a net to the Altar, under the compass of it beneath in the [b]midst of it.
5 And cast four rings of brass for the four ends of the grate to put bars in.
6 And he made the bars of Shittim wood, and covered them with brass.
7 The which bars he put into the rings on the sides of the altar to bear it withal, and made it (C)hollow within the boards.
8 ¶ Also he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass of the [c]glasses of the women that did assemble and came together at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
9 ¶ Finally, he made the court on the South side full South: the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, having an hundred cubits.
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen sockets twenty: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And on the North side the hangings were an hundred cubits: their pillars twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty, the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets of silver.
12 On the west side also were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets: the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets of silver.
13 And toward the East side, full East were hangings of fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side were fifteen cubits, their three pillars, and their three sockets:
15 (D)And of the other side of the court gate on both sides were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 But the sockets of the pillars were of brass: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and the covering of their chapiters of silver: and all the pillars of the court were hooped about with silver.
18 He made also the hanging of the gate of the court of needle work, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen even twenty cubits long, and five cubits in height and breadth, [d]like the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four with their four sockets of brass: their hooks of silver, and the covering of the chapiters, and their fillets of silver.
20 But all the (E)pins of the Tabernacle and of the court round about were of brass.
21 ¶ These are the parts of the Tabernacle, I mean, of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which was appointed by the commandment of Moses for the office of the [e]Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the Priest.
22 So Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a [f]cunning workman and an embroiderer, and a worker of needle work in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.
24 All the gold that was occupied in all the work wrought for the holy place (which was the gold of the offering) was nine and twenty talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.
25 But the silver of them that were numbered in the Congregation, was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
26 A [g]portion for a man, that is, half a shekel after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for all them that were numbered from twenty years old and above, among six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty men.
27 Moreover there were an hundred talents of silver, to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil: an hundred sockets of an hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 But he made the hooks for the pillars of a thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels, and overlaid their chapiters, and made fillets about them.
29 Also the brass of the offering was seventy [h]talents, and two thousand, and four hundred shekels.
30 Whereof he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate which was for it, with all the instruments of the Altar.
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the (F)pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
17 1 Christ prayeth that his glory together with his Father’s may be made manifest. 9 He Prayeth for his Apostles, 20 and for all believers.
1 These [a]things spake Jesus, and lift up his eyes to heaven, and said, [b]Father, that hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee,
2 (A)As thou hast given him power over [c]all flesh, that he should give eternal life to all them that thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they know thee to be the [d]only very God, and whom thou hast sent, Jesus Christ.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now glorify me, thou Father, with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 [e]I have declared thy Name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: [f]thine they were, and thou [g]gavest them me, and they have kept thy word.
7 (B)Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me, are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou hast sent me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me: for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them.
11 And now am I no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy Name, even them whom thou hast given me, that they may be [h]one as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gavest me, have I kept, and none of them is lost, but the child of perdition, that the (C)Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee, and these things speak I in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
15 [i]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from evil.
16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
17 [j]Sanctify them with thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 [k]As thou didst send me into the world, so have I sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes sanctify I myself, that they also may be sanctified through the [l]truth.
20 [m]I pray not for these alone, but for them also which shall believe in me, through their word,
21 That they all may be one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee: even that they may be also one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory that thou gavest me, I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one,
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.
24 (D)Father, I will that they which thou hast given me, be with me even where I am, that they may behold that my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world also hath not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known, that thou hast sent me.
26 [n]And I have declared unto them thy Name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
14 1 A wise woman [a]buildeth her house: but the foolish destroyeth it with her own hands.
2 (A)He that walketh in his [b]righteousness, feareth the Lord: but he that is lewd in his ways, despiseth him.
3 In the mouth of the foolish is the [c]rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.
4 Where none [d]oxen are, there the crib is empty: but much increase cometh by the strength of the ox.
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false record will speak lies.
6 [e]A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy to him that will understand.
7 Depart from the foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the foolishness of the fools is deceit.
9 The fool maketh a mock of [f]sin: but among the righteous there is favor.
10 The heart knoweth the [g]bitterness of his soul, and the stranger shall not meddle with his joy.
11 The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacle of the righteous shall flourish.
12 (B)There is a way that seemeth right to a man: but the issues thereof are the ways of death.
13 Even in laughing the heart is sorrowful, [h]and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
14 The heart that declineth, [i]shall be satiated with his own ways: but a good man shall depart from him.
15 The foolish will believe everything: but the prudent will consider his steps.
16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil, but a fool rageth, and is careless.
17 He that is hasty to anger, commiteth folly, and a [j]busybody is hated.
18 The foolish do inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 The evil shall bow before the good, and the wicked [k]at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbor: but the friends of the rich are many.
21 The sinner despiseth his neighbor: but he that hath mercy on the poor, is blessed.
22 Do not they err that imagine evil? but to them that think on good things, shall be mercy and truth.
23 In all labor there is abundance: but the talk of the lips bringeth only want.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches, and the folly of fools is foolishness.
25 A faithful witness delivereth souls: but a deceiver speaketh lies.
26 In the fear of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall have hope.
27 The fear of the Lord is as a wellspring of life, to avoid the snares of death.
28 In the multitude of the [l]people is the honor of a King, and for the want of people cometh the destruction of the Prince.
29 He that is slow to wrath, is of great wisdom: but he that is of an hasty mind, exalteth folly.
30 A sound heart is the life of the [m]flesh: but envy is the rotting of the bones.
31 (C)He that oppresseth the poor, reproveth him that made him: but he honoreth him, that hath mercy on the poor.
32 The wicked shall be cast away for his malice: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding, and is known [n]in the midst of fools.
34 Justice exalteth a nation, [o]but sin is a shame to the people.
35 The pleasure of a King is in a wise servant: but his wrath shall be toward him that is lewd.
The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians
1 3 Having testified his godly and tender affection towards the Philippians, 12 he entreateth of himself and his bands: 22 And pricketh them forward by his own example, 27 and exhorteth them to unity, 28 and patience.
1 Paul [a]and Timothy the servants of JESUS CHRIST, to all the Saints in Christ Jesus, which are at Philippi, with the [b]Bishops, and Deacons:
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ:
3 I thank my God, having you in perfect memory,
4 (Always in all my prayers for all you, praying with gladness)
5 Because of the [c]fellowship which ye have in the Gospel, from the [d]first day unto now.
6 And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begun this good work in you, will perform it until the [e]day of Jesus Christ,
7 As it becometh me so to judge of you all, because I have you in remembrance, that both in my [f]bands, and in my defense, and confirmation of the Gospel you all were partakers of my [g]grace.
8 [h]For God is my record, how I long after you all from the very heart root in Jesus Christ.
9 [i]And this I pray that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge, and in all judgment,
10 That ye may allow those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offense, until the day of Christ,
11 Filled with the [j]fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.
12 ¶ [k]I would ye understood, brethren, that the things which have come unto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospel,
13 So that my bands [l]in Christ are famous throughout all the [m]judgment hall, and in all other places.
14 Insomuch that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bands, and dare more frankly speak the [n]Word.
15 Some preach Christ even through envy and strife, and some also of good will.
16 The one part preacheth Christ of contention, and not [o]purely, supposing to add more affliction to my bands.
17 But the others of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the Gospel.
18 [p]What then: yet Christ is preached all manner ways, whether it be under a [q]pretence, or sincerely: and I therein joy: yea, and will joy.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and by the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 [r]As I fervently look for, and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all confidence, as always, so now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
21 For Christ is to me both in life and in death advantage.
22 [s]And whether to live in the [t]flesh were profitable for me, and what to choose I know not.
23 For I am distressed between both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.
24 Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh, is more needful for you.
25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and joy of your faith,
26 That ye may more abundantly rejoice in JESUS CHRIST for me, by my coming to you again.
27 [u]Only let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your matters, that ye [v]continue in one spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel.
28 [w]And in nothing fear your adversaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 [x]For unto you it is given for Christ, that not only ye should believe in him, but also suffer for his sake,
30 [y]Having the same fight, which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
