⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, “Rejoice!”

⁵ Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

⁶ Fret not about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.

⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

¹⁵ See that none render evil for evil unto any man, but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves and with all men.

¹⁶ Rejoice evermore.

² My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations,

⁹ Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

¹⁰ Have kindly affection one for another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another;

¹¹ not slothful in business; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

¹² rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer;

¹³ distributing to the necessity of saints, given to hospitality.

10 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two ahead of Him into every city and place whither He Himself would come.

² Therefore He said unto them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.

³ Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves,

⁴ carrying neither purse, nor pack, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.

⁵ And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’

⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you again.

⁷ And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.

⁸ And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

⁹ And heal the sick that are therein and say unto them, ‘The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.’

¹⁰ But into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same and say,

¹¹ ‘Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you. Notwithstanding, be ye sure of this: that the Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.’

¹² But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

¹³ “Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they would have a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the Judgment than for you.

¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell.

¹⁶ He that heareth you heareth Me, and he that despiseth you despiseth Me, and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me.”

¹⁷ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.”

¹⁸ And He said unto them, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

²⁰ Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.”

²¹ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit and said, “I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that 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.

²² All things are delivered to Me by My Father, and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal Him.”

²³ And He turned unto His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.

²⁴ For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.”
