MORNING
There shall cleave nought of the cursed
thing to thine hand.
OME out from among them, and be
ye separate, saith the Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing.--Dearly
beloved, I beseech you as strangers and
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war against the soul.--Hating
even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we
shall see him as he is. And every man
that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.--The grace of
God that bringeth salvation hath appeared
to all men, teaching us that,
denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and
godly, in this present world; looking for
that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself
for us, that he might redeem us from
all iniquity, and purify unto himself a
peculiar people, zealous of good works.
DEUT.

EVENING
Who art thou, Lord? I am Jesus.
T is I; be not afraid.--When thou
passest through the waters, I will be
with thee; and through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee: when thou
walkest through the fire, thou shalt not
be burned; neither shall the flame kindle
upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God,
. . . thy Saviour.
Though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.--Emmanuel, God
with us.
Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for
he shall save his people from their sins.--If
any man sin, we have an advocate
with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.--Who
is he that condemneth? It
is Christ that died, yea rather, that is
risen again, who is even at the right
hand of God, who also maketh intercession
for us. Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ? shall tribulation,
or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
