Psalm 93

93 Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves.

Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea.

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.

Psalm 96

96 Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.

For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12 Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

13 Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Psalm 34

[A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

34 I will bless Jehovah at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.

Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.

This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;

16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:

17 [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

1 Timothy 3:14-4:5

14 These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee more quickly;

15 but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is [the] assembly of [the] living God, [the] pillar and base of the truth.

16 And confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been manifested in flesh, has been justified in [the] Spirit, has appeared to angels, has been preached among [the] nations, has been believed on in [the] world, has been received up in glory.

But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons

speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own conscience,

forbidding to marry, [bidding] to abstain from meats, which God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who are faithful and know the truth.

For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving;

for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing [him].

Matthew 13:24-34

24 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;

25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.

26 But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.

27 And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel?

28 And he said to them, A man [that is] an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it [up]?

29 But he said, No; lest [in] gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.

30 Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.

31 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and sowed in his field;

32 which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.

33 He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.

34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,
