M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
31 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled away from the Philistines. And they fell down, wounded, on Mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines pressed hard upon Saul and his sons, and killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.
3 And when the battle went fiercely against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him. And he was badly wounded by the archers.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw out your sword and thrust me through with it, lest the uncircumcised come and thrust me through and mock me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. Therefore, Saul took a sword and fell upon it.
5 And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword, and died with him.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day, together.
7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had been put to flight, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they left the cities and ran away. And the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 And the next day, when the Philistines had come to plunder those who had been killed, they found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head and stripped him out of his armor and sent into the land of the Philistines, on every side, so that they could proclaim it in the temple of their idols, and among the people.
10 And they laid up his armor in the house of Ashtoreth, but they hung up his body on the wall of Beth Shan.
11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and came to Jabesh and burnt them there,
13 and took their bones and buried them under a tree at Jabesh and fasted for seven days.
11 Be followers of me, just as I am of Christ.
2 Now brothers, I praise you, that you remember all my things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know that Christ is the head of every man. And the head of the woman, man. And the head of Christ, God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonors his head.
5 Every woman who prays or prophesies bareheaded dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
6 Therefore, if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. And if it is shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man.
9 For the man was not created for the woman’s sake, but the woman for the man’s sake.
10 Because of this ought the woman to have power upon her head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the man separate from the woman, nor the woman separate from the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is from the man, so is the man also by the woman. But all things are from God.
13 Judge in yourselves, is it proper that a woman pray to God uncovered?
14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it dishonors him?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her. For her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
17 Now in this message I do not praise: that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse.
18 For first of all, I hear that there are divisions among you when you come together in the church. And in part I believe it.
19 For there must also be heresies among you, so that those who are approved might be known among you.
20 Therefore, when you come together into one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper.
21 For everyone, when he eats, takes his own supper beforehand. And one is hungry and another is drunk.
22 What!? Do you not have houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the Church of God and shame those who do not have? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you.
23 For I have received from the Lord that which I have also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, in the night when he was betrayed, took bread.
24 And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “Take. Eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
25 Also, in the same way, when He had eaten, He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the New Testament in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
26 For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink this cup, you show the Lord’s death till He comes.
27 Therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be liable to the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Let every man therefore examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread, and drink of this cup.
29 For whoever eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks his own damnation, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 For this reason, many among you are weak, and sick, and many sleep.
31 For if we were to judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, because we would not be condemned with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34 And if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, that you do not come together to condemnation. I will set other things in order when I come.
9 He also cried with a loud voice in my ears, saying, “The reckonings of the city draw near; and every man has a weapon in his hand to destroy it.”
2 And behold, six men came by the way of the high gate which lies toward the North, and every man with a weapon in his hand to destroy it. And one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze Altar.
3 And the Glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the Cherub, upon which it had been, to the door of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
4 And the LORD said to him: “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of those who mourn, and cry for all the abominations that are done in their midst.”
5 And to the others, he said in my hearing: “Go after him, throughout the city, and strike. Let your eye spare no one, nor have pity.
6 “Completely destroy the old, the young, the maids, the children, and the women. But touch no man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My Sanctuary.” Then they began with the elderly men who were before the house.
7 And he said to them: “Defile the house; and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.
8 Now when they had killed them, and I had escaped, I fell down upon my face, and cried, saying, “Ah Lord GOD, will you destroy all the rest of Israel in pouring out Your wrath upon Jerusalem?”
9 Then He said to me: “The iniquity of the House of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, so that the land is full of blood, and the city full of corrupt judgment. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the Earth,’ and ‘The LORD does not see.’
10 “As touching Me, also, My Eye shall not spare. Nor will I have pity. I will set their ways upon their heads.”
11 And behold, the man clothed in linen who had the inkhorn by his side, reported, and said, “I have done as You have Commanded me.”
48 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the City of our God, upon His Holy Mountain.
2 Mount Zion (lying northward) is beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole Earth, the City of the Great King.
3 In the palaces thereof, God is known for a refuge.
4 For lo, the kings were gathered and went together.
5 When they saw it, they marveled. They were astonished and suddenly driven back.
6 Fear came upon them there, and sorrow, as upon a woman in childbirth,
7 as when You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the City of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.
9 In the midst of Your Temple we wait for Your lovingkindness, O God.
10 O God, according to Your Name, so is Your praise to the world’s end. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, and the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Your judgments!
12 March around Zion and encircle it. Count the towers thereof.
13 Mark well the wall thereof. Behold her towers, so that you may tell your posterity.
14 For this God is our God, forever and ever. He shall be our guide to the death. To him who excels: A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah.
