³² Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did ^(A)according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. ³³ Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; ³⁴ the covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins, and the ^(B)veil of the screen; ³⁵ the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat; ³⁶ the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; ^37 (C)the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; ^38 (D)the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and ^(E)the screen for the entrance of the tent; ³⁹ the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin and its stand; ^40 (F)the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the ^(G)screen for the gate of the court, its ^(H)cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; ⁴¹ the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for their service as priests. ^42 (I)According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work. ⁴³ And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses ^(J)blessed them.

¹⁵ And this is the account of ^(A)the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and ^(B)the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and ^(C)Hazor and ^(D)Megiddo and Gezer ¹⁶ (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed ^(E)the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to ^(F)his daughter, Solomon's wife; ¹⁷ so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and ^(G)Lower Beth-horon ¹⁸ and Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,^{[a] 19} and all the store cities that Solomon had, and ^(H)the cities for his chariots, and the cities for ^(I)his horsemen, and whatever Solomon ^(J)desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. ²⁰ All the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel— ^21 (K)their descendants who were left after them in the land, ^(L)whom the people of Israel were unable to devote to destruction^[b]—^(M)these Solomon drafted to be ^(N)slaves, and so they are to this day. ²² But ^(O)of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves. They were the soldiers, they were his officials, his commanders, his captains, his chariot commanders and his horsemen.

²³ These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work: ^(P)550 ^(Q)who had charge of the people who carried on the work.

²⁴ But ^(R)Pharaoh's daughter went up from the city of David to ^(S)her own house that Solomon had built for her. ^(T)Then he built ^(U)the Millo.

²⁵ Three times a year Solomon used to offer up burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, making offerings with it^[c] before the Lord. So he finished the house.

²⁶ King Solomon built a fleet of ships at ^(V)Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. ²⁷ And Hiram sent ^(W)with the fleet his servants, seamen who were familiar with the sea, together with the servants of Solomon. ²⁸ And they went to ^(X)Ophir and brought from there gold, 420 talents, and they brought it to King Solomon.

^17 (J)“Israel is a hunted sheep ^(K)driven away by lions. ^(L)First the king of Assyria ^(M)devoured him, and now at last ^(N)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ^(O)has gnawed his bones. ¹⁸ Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, ^(P)I am bringing punishment on the king of Babylon and his land, ^(Q)as I punished the king of Assyria. ^19 (R)I will restore Israel to his pasture, and ^(S)he shall feed on ^(T)Carmel and in ^(U)Bashan, and his desire shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in ^(V)Gilead. ²⁰ In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, ^(W)iniquity shall be sought in Israel, and there shall be none, and sin in Judah, and none shall be found, for ^(X)I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant.

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

^12 (A)After these things ^(B)he appeared in ^(C)another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. ^13 (D)And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

The Great Commission

¹⁴ Afterward ^(E)he appeared ^(F)to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at table, and he rebuked them for their ^(G)unbelief and ^(H)hardness of heart, because ^(I)they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. ¹⁵ And he said to them, ^(J)“Go into all the world and ^(K)proclaim the gospel to ^(L)the whole creation. ^16 (M)Whoever believes and is ^(N)baptized ^(O)will be saved, but ^(P)whoever ^(Q)does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And ^(R)these signs will accompany those who believe: ^(S)in my name they will cast out demons; ^(T)they will speak in new tongues; ^18 (U)they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; ^(V)they will lay their hands ^(W)on the sick, and they will recover.”

¹⁹ So then the Lord Jesus, ^(X)after he had spoken to them, ^(Y)was taken up into heaven and ^(Z)sat down at the right hand of God. ²⁰ And they went out and preached everywhere, while ^(AA)the Lord worked with them and confirmed ^(AB)the message ^(AC)by accompanying signs.]]

⁹ For we are ^(A)God's fellow workers. You are God's field, ^(B)God's building.

^10 (C)According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled^[a] master builder I laid a ^(D)foundation, and ^(E)someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. ¹¹ For no one can lay a ^(F)foundation other ^(G)than that which is laid, ^(H)which is Jesus Christ. ¹² Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— ^13 (I)each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed ^(J)by fire, and ^(K)the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. ¹⁴ If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, ^(L)he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, ^(M)but only as through fire.

^16 (N)Do you not know that you^[b] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? ¹⁷ If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For ^(O)God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

^18 (P)Let no one deceive himself. ^(Q)If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. ¹⁹ For ^(R)the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, ^(S)“He catches the wise in their craftiness,” ²⁰ and again, ^(T)“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ²¹ So ^(U)let no one boast in men. For ^(V)all things are yours, ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, ²³ and ^(W)you are Christ's, and ^(X)Christ is God's.
