"Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
      Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
      It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
      That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed (Luke, 1:1-4)."

      "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
      And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
      And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
      Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:
      Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen (Matt., 28:16-20)."
      "Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
      And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
      He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark, 16:14-16)."
      "And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
      Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
      And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
      And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem;
      And ye are witnesses of these things (Luke, 24:44-48)."

      "And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him (Matt., 28:9)."
      "Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
      And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
      And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
      After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
      And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
      Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen (Mark, 16:9-14)."
      "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
      But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
      And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
      Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
      And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
      And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
      And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
      And he took it, and did eat before them (Luke, 24:36-43)."
      "But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
      And seeth two angels in white sitting, the [163] one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
      And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
      And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
      Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
      Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
      Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
      Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
      Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
      And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord (Jno., 20:11-20)."
      "But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
      The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
      And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
      Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
      And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
      Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed (Jno., 20:24-29)."
      "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
      And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
      And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
      After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
      After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
      And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time (I. Cor., 15:3-8)."

      "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
      And ye are witnesses of these things.
      And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high (Luke, 24:47-49)."

      "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God (Luke, 9:27)."

      "The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
      And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
      And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
      And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more (Isa., 2:1-4)."
      "Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure [164] foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste (Isa., 28:16)."
      "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
      And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name (Isa., 62:1, 2)."
      "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call (Joel, 2:32)."
      "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
      And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
      And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
      But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it (Mic., 4:1-4)."

      "What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before (Jno., 6:62)?"

      "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
      Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
      Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
      Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory (Ps., 24:7-10)."

      "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
      In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
      And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (Jno., 14:1-3)."

      "And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning (Jno., 15:27)."

      "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
      Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.
      Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord (Lev., 23:15-17)."

      "For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you (Matt., 10:20)."
      "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (Jno., 14:26)."

      "Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into (I. Pet., 1:12)."

      "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
      And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
      And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
      The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.
      And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call (Joel, 2:28-32)."

      "The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born (Matt., 26:24)."

      "I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
      Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
      For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
      Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore (Ps., 16:8-11)."

      "The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne (Ps., 132:11)."

      The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies (Ps., 110:1, 2)."

      "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
      And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
      Of sin, because they believe not on me;
      Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
      Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged (Jno., 16:7-11)."

      "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
      My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
      Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
      He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he (Deut., 32:1-4)."
      "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven (Matt., 7:21)."

      And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
      And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
      And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matt., 16:16-19)."

      "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
      Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon (Isa., 55:6, 7)."
      "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (II. Pet., 3:9)."
      "I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke, 13:5)."
      "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark, 16:16)."
      "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
      God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
      Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
      Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
      For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection (Rom., 6:1-5)."
      "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
      For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Gal., 3:26, 27)."
      "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ (I. Pet., 3:21)."
      "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one (I. Jno., 5:8)."

      Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts, 4:11, 12)."
      "And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more (Jer., 31:34)."
      "And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me (Jer., 33:8)."

      The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God (Rom., 8:15, 16)."
      "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
      If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (I. Cor., 3:16, 17)."
      "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father (Gal., 4:6)."

      "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
      To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
      Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God (II. Cor., 5:18-20)."

      "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matt., 16:18)."
      "The church which was at Jerusalem (Acts, 8:1)."
      "Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body (Eph., 5:23)."
      "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence (Col., 1:18)."

      "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
      And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, [169] that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (Jno., 14:12, 13)."

      "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee (Jno., 17:1)."

      Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
      But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isa., 53:3-5)."

      "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
      Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts, 2:37, 38)."

      "But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
      And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
      The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
      And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
      And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
      They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Isa., 11:4-9)."
      "For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are [170] sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations (Isa., 61:11)."

      "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

      If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him (Jno., 14:6, 7)."

      "At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
      Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight (Matt., 11:25, 26)."

      "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord (Isa., 54:17)."

      "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
      (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
      That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (I. Jno., 1:1-3)."

      "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
      The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
      Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us (Ps., 2:1-3)."

      "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
      God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will (Heb., 2:3, 4)?"

      "Neither pray I for these alone, but for [172] them also which shall believe on me through their word;
      That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me (Jno., 17:20, 21)."
      "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
      So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another (Rom., 12:4, 5)."
      "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
      And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
      In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
      In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit (Eph., 2:19-22)."
      "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
      One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
      One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all (Eph., 4:4-6)."
      "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
      That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
      But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
      From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love (Eph., 4:13-16)."

      "If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth (Num., 30:2)."
      "When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
      But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
      That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth (Deut., 23:21-23)."
      "When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
      Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
      Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands (Ecc., 5:4-6)?"

      "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
      Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
      Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life (Jno., 6:63, 67, 68)."

      "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
      That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
      "And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil., 2:9-11)."

      "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts, 2:38)."

      "There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord (Prov., 21:30)."
      "Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us (Isa., 8:10)."
      "For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist (Luke, 21:15)."

      "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved (Matt., 10:22)."

      "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls (Acts, 2:41)."
      "Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand (Acts, 4:4)."
      "And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women (Acts, 5:14)."

      "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers (Acts, 2:42)."

      "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
      But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
      To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen (Rom., 16:25-27)."

      "And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?
      Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say (Ex., 4:11, 12)."
      "For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist (Luke, 21:15)."

      "And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there (Gen., 11:31)."

      "Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee (Gen., 12:1)."

      "And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
      For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
      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.
      Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee (Gen., 13:14-17)."

      "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
      And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
      And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
      But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full (Gen., 15:13-16)."

      "And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
      This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
      And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you (Gen., 17:9-11)."
      "And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him (Gen., 21:4)."

      "And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
      Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt (Gen., 37:11, 28)."

      "And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
      Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
      And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt (Gen., 41:39-41)."

      "And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
      And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands (Gen., 41:56, 57)."

      "Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
      And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
      And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt (Gen., 42:1-3)."

      "And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt (Gen., 45:4)."

      "And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither (Gen., 45:13)."

      "The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
      And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh (Gen., 47:6, 7)."
      "And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people (Gen., 49:33)."

      "For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre (Gen., 50:13)."

      "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
      And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
      And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
      But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full (Gen., 15:13-16)."
      "And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them (Ex., 1:7)."

      "Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph (Ex., 1:8)."

      "And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
      Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto [177] our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
      Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
      But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
      And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
      And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
      And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
      And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live (Ex., 1:9-16)."

      "And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months (Ex., 2:2)."

      "And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water (Ex., 2:10)."

      "And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
      And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand (Ex., 2:11, 12)."

      "And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
      And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
      Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well (Ex., 2:13-15)."
      "Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
      And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
      And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh (Ex., 18:2-4)."

      "Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
      And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
      And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
      And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
      And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
      Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
      And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
      And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
      Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them (Ex., 3:1-9)."

      "And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
      And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord (Ex., 10:1, 2)."
      "And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
      And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
      And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them (Ex., 14:26-28)."
      "And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
      Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle (Ex., 40:33, 34)."
      "And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
      After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise (Num., 14:33, 34)."

      "The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken (Deut., 18:15)."

      "And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
      He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people (Ex., 13:21, 22)."
      "And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
      And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
      And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians (Ex., 14:19, 20, 24)."
      "And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
      Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way (Ex., 33:2, 3)."
      "In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old (Isa., 63:9)."
      "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ (I. Cor., 10:4)."
      "Who have received the law by the [179] disposition of angels, and have not kept it (Acts, 7:53)."
      "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator (Gal., 3:19)."
      "For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
      How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him (Heb., 2:2, 3)."
      "Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob (Deut., 33:4)."
      "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
      Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God (Rom., 3:1, 2)."

      "And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
      And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
      And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
      And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt (Ex., 32:1-4)."

      "And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal (II. Kings, 17:16)."
      "So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels (Ps., 81:12)."

      "But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves (Amos, 5:26)."

      "And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount (Ex., 25:40)."

      "And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan (Josh., 3:17)."
      "And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued (Josh., 18:1)."
      "We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
      How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out (Ps., 44:1, 2)."

      "And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God:
      But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
      Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
      He shall build an house for my name; and [180] he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever (I. Chron., 22:7-10)."

      "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded (I. Kings, 8:27)?"

      "Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
      For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word (Isa., 66:1, 2)."

      "And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people (Ex., 32:9)."
      "Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass (Isa., 48:4)."
      "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked (Deut., 10:16)."
      "To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it (Jer., 6:10)."
      "Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
      Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God (Neh., 9:30, 31)."

      "But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy (II. Chron., 36:16)."
      "For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
      They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
      And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them (Jer., 5:11-13)."
      "But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
      And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses (Acts, 3:14, 15)."

      "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots (Luke, 23:34)."
      "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
      Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
      Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
      Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (I. Pet., 2:21-24)."

      But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name (Jno., 20:30, 31)."

      "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
      He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark, 16:15, 16)."

      "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matt., 28:19)."

      Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled (Heb., 12:14, 15)."

      "Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

      "Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job (Job, 42:8)."
      "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (Jas., 5:16)."

      "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
      He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken (Isa., 53:7, 8)."

      "For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ (Acts, 18:28)."
      "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (I. Cor., 2:2)."

      "And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him (Jno., 1:32)."

      Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
      If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
      Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God (Jno., 10:33-36)?"
      "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
      And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
      She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world (Jno., 11:25-27)."

      That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
      For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

And he said, Ye shall not send (II. Kings, 2:16)."
      "Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.
      So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me (Ezek., 3:12, 14)."

      "For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
      And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers (Gal., 1:13, 14)."

      And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks (Acts, 26:13, 14)."

      "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me (Isa., 6:8)."

      "For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
      If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
      Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ (Eph., 3:1, 2, 8)."

      He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them (Ps., 145:18, 19)."

      "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
      And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matt., 16:18, 19)."

      Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
      Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
      And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
      And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

      Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
      These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
      And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
      They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
      Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
      And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
      And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
      Every raven after his kind;
      And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
      And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
      And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
      And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
      All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
      Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
      Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
      But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
      And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
      And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even (Lev., 11:2-25)."

      "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only (Jas., 2:24)."
      "It is God that justifieth (Rom., 8:33)."
      "To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
      Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
      Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law (Rom., 3:26-28)."
      "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
      That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Rom., 8:3, 4)."
      "I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain (Gal., 2:21)."
      "Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law (Gal., 3:21)."
      "For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God (Heb., 7:19)."
      "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
      For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins (Heb., 10:1, 2)."
      "But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
      And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
      Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree (Gal., 3:11-13)."
      "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Rom., 6:14)."
      "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator (Gal. 3:19)."

      "Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid (Isa., 29:14)."
      "Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you (Hab. 1:5)."

      "Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent (Acts, 13:26)."
      "And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware (Deut., 31:21)."
      "Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee (Isa., 55:5)."
      "I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; [196]
      To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house (Isa., 42:6, 7)."

      "And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth (Isa., 49:6)."

      "The sower soweth the word (Mark, 4:14)."

      "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city (Mark, 6:11)."

      "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
      If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are (I. Cor., 3:16, 17)."

      "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
      God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will (Heb., 2:3, 4)?"

      "Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
      The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret (Dan., 2:46, 47)."

      "And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain (I. Sam., 12:21)."

      "So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels (Ps., 81:12)."

      "Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit (Lev., 26:4)."
      "Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields (Job, 5:10)."
      "Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
      Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
      Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
      They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
      The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing (Ps., 65:9-13)."
      "Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things (Jer., 14:22)."

      "Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
      And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch (Acts, 11:23, 26)."
      "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together (Rom., 8:17)."
      "It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
      If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us (II. Tim., 2:11, 12)."

      "For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee (Titus, 1:5)."

      "Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
      That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
      Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power (Eph., 3:5-7)."

      "Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man (Jno., 7:22)."
      "For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law (Gal., 5:3)."

      "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matt., 16:19)."
      "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
      And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
      But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
      So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom., 10:14-17)."

      "The Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever (I. Chron., 28:9)."

      "For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
      For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him (Rom., 10:11, 12)."

      "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (Gal., 5:1)."

      "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God (Eph., 2:8)."

      "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old (Amos, 9:11)."

      "According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord (Eph., 3:11)."

      "For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
      For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God (I. Thess., 1:8, 9)."

      "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
      And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
      Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
      Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ (Col., 2:14-17)."

      "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved (Matt., 10:22)."

      "Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?
      For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be enquired of by you (Ezek., 20:30, 31)."
      "But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
      And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man (Gen., 9:4, 5)."
      "And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
      For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
      Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
      And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
      For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off (Lev., 17:10-14)." [200]

      "And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily (Acts, 16:5)."

      "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
      To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
      When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also (II. Tim., 1:1, 2, 5)."

      "And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
      Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
      It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
      Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
      We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
      For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
      That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well (Acts, 15:23-29)."

      "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved (Acts, 2:47)."

      "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
      The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes (Ps., 19:7, 8)."
      "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Rom., 1:16)."
      "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
      He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark, 16:15, 16)."

      "Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor (I. Sam., 28:7)."

      "And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
      Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God (Mark, 1:23, 24)."

      "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness (Acts, 4:31)."

      "Now when they heard this, they were [202] pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do (Acts 2:37)?"
      "And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do (Acts, 9:6)."

      "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
      And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe (Jno., 19:34, 35)."
      "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name (Jno., 20:31)."

      "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:3)."
      "Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
      But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
      "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jno., 3:5)."

      "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
      For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Gal., 3:26, 27)."

      "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
      That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (II. Tim., 3:16, 17)."

      "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
      Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
      And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself (Luke, 24:25-27)."

      "Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come (Jno., 8:21)."

      "Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
      For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
      And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee (Jer., 1:17-19)."

      They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
      They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
      They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
      They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them (Ps., 115:4-8)."
      "For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
      They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
      They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good (Jer., 10:3-5)."

      "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
      And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
      His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
      And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
      And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
      He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay (Matt., 28:1-6)."
