Psalm 113-115
21st Century King James Version
113 Praise ye the Lord! Praise, O ye servants of the Lord; praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord’S name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God who dwelleth on high,
6 who humbleth Himself to behold the things that are in heaven and on the earth?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill,
8 that He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord!
114 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language,
2 Judah was His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
115 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy and for Thy truth’s sake.
2 Why should the heathen say, “Where now is their God?”
3 But our God is in the heavens; He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not.
6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not.
7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is everyone that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: He is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ye are blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither do any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord!

and lifts the needy(M) from the ash heap;
8 he seats them(N) with princes,
with the princes of his people.

as a happy mother of children.
Praise the Lord.
Psalm 114
1 When Israel came out of Egypt,(P)
Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah(Q) became God’s sanctuary,(R)
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled,(S)
the Jordan turned back;(T)
4 the mountains leaped(U) like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?(V)
Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
you hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth,(W) at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool,
the hard rock into springs of water.(X)
Psalm 115(Y)
1 Not to us, Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,(Z)
because of your love and faithfulness.(AA)
2 Why do the nations say,
“Where is their God?”(AB)
3 Our God is in heaven;(AC)
he does whatever pleases him.(AD)
4 But their idols are silver and gold,(AE)
made by human hands.(AF)
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,(AG)
eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
9 All you Israelites, trust(AH) in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
10 House of Aaron,(AI) trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
11 You who fear him,(AJ) trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
12 The Lord remembers(AK) us and will bless us:(AL)
He will bless his people Israel,
he will bless the house of Aaron,
13 he will bless those who fear(AM) the Lord—
small and great alike.
14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,(AN)
both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven(AO) and earth.

1 Corinthians 6
21st Century King James Version
1 Corinthians 6
21st Century King James Version
6 Dare any of you, having a complaint against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments to make on things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church!
5 I speak to shame you! Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, no, not one, who shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers!
7 Now therefore, there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one against another. Why do ye not rather accept wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong and defraud, and that your own brethren!
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you. But ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
12 “All things are lawful unto me,” but all things are not expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 “Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats,” but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord and will also raise up us by His own power.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid!
16 What? Know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? “For two,” saith He, “shall be one flesh.”
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every other sin which a man doeth is outside the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you and which ye have from God, and that ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Lawsuits Among Believers
6 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people?(A) 2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world?(B) And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you.(C) Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers?(D) 6 But instead, one brother(E) takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!(F)
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?(G) 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters.(H) 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?(I) Do not be deceived:(J) Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers(K) nor men who have sex with men[a](L) 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers(M) will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were.(N) But you were washed,(O) you were sanctified,(P) you were justified(Q) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Sexual Immorality
12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial.(R) “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.”(S) The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord,(T) and the Lord for the body. 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead,(U) and he will raise us also.(V) 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?(W) Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”[b](X) 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.[c](Y)
18 Flee from sexual immorality.(Z) All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.(AA) 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples(AB) of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;(AC) 20 you were bought at a price.(AD) Therefore honor God with your bodies.(AE)
