M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
25 And the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When you shall come into the land which I give you, the land shall keep Sabbath to the LORD.
3 ‘Six years you shall sow your field. And six years you shall cut your vineyard and gather its fruit.
4 ‘But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of Rest to the land, the LORD’s Sabbath. You shall neither sow your field nor cut your vineyard.
5 ‘That of your harvest which grows of its own accord you shall not reap. Nor shall you gather the grapes that you have left unlabored. It shall be a year of rest to the land.
6 ‘And the rest of the land shall be food for you, for you and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for the stranger who sojourns with you,
7 ‘and for your cattle, and for the beasts that are in your land. All of its increase shall be food.
8 ‘Also, you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself (seven times seven years). And the space of the seven Sabbaths of years will be forty nine years to you.
9 ‘Then, on the tenth of the seventh month, you shall cause the Trumpet of the Jubilee to blow. On the Day of the Reconciliation you shall make the Trumpet blow throughout all your land.
10 ‘And you shall hallow that year, the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be the Jubilee to you. And you shall return every man to his possession. And every man shall return to his family.
11 ‘This fiftieth year shall be a year of Jubilee to you. You shall neither sow nor reap that which grows on its own, nor gather the grapes of untended vines.
12 ‘For it is the Jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.
13 ‘In the year of this Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession.
14 ‘And when you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another.
15 ‘According to the number of years after the Jubilee, you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of the years of produce, he shall sell to you.
16 ‘According to the multitude of years, you shall increase its price. And according to the fewness of years, you shall lower the price of it. For he sells to you according to the number of the years of produce.
17 ‘Therefore, no one oppress his neighbor. But you shall fear your God. For I am the LORD, your God.
18 ‘Therefore, you shall obey My Ordinances, and keep My Laws and do them. And you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19 ‘And the land shall give her fruit. And you shall eat your fill and dwell there in safety.
20 ‘And if you shall say, “What shall we eat the seventh year, for we shall neither sow nor gather in our increase?”
21 ‘I will send my blessing upon you in the sixth year. And it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22 ‘And you shall sow the eighth year and eat of the old fruit until the ninth year. Until its produce comes, you shall eat from the old harvest.
23 ‘Also, the land shall not be sold to be cut off. For the land is Mine. You are but strangers and sojourners with Me.
24 ‘Therefore, in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption of the land.
25 ‘If your brother is impoverished, and sells his possessions, then his redeemer shall come—his near kinsman—and buy out that which his brother sells.
26 ‘And if he has no redeemer, but has become able to buy it out himself,
27 ‘then he shall count the years of his sale and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it. So shall he return to his possession.
28 ‘But if he is not able to restore it to himself, then that which was sold shall remain in the hand of him who had bought it until the year of the Jubilee. And in the Jubilee it shall come out. And he shall return to his possession.
29 ‘Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may buy it out again within a whole year after it is sold. Within a year may he buy it out.
30 ‘But, if it is not bought out within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established as “cut off” to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not go out in the Jubilee.
31 ‘But the houses of villages which have no walls around them shall be counted as the fields of the country. They may be bought out again and shall go out in the Jubilee.
32 ‘Notwithstanding, the cities of the Levites—the houses of the cities of their possession—the Levites may redeem at all seasons.
33 ‘And if a man purchases from the Levites, the house that was sold and the city of their possession shall go out in the Jubilee. For the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34 ‘But the field of the suburbs of their cities shall not be sold. For it is their perpetual possession.
35 ‘Moreover, if your brother is impoverished and fallen in decay with you, you shall relieve him. And as a stranger and sojourner, so shall he live with you.
36 ‘You shall take no usury from him, nor interest. But you shall fear your God, so that your brother may live with you.
37 ‘You shall not give him your money to usury, nor lend him your provisions for increase.
38 ‘I am the LORD your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
39 ‘Also, if your brother next to you is impoverished, and is sold to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a bond servant.
40 ‘As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you. He shall serve you to the year of Jubilee.
41 ‘Then shall he depart from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his family. And to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42 ‘For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as bondmen are sold.
43 ‘You shall not rule over him cruelly but shall fear your God.
44 ‘Also, your bond servant and your bondmaid whom you shall have shall be from the heathen who are around you. From them you shall buy servants and maids.
45 ‘And moreover, from the children of the strangers who are sojourners among you, from them you shall buy and from their families who are with you (which they begat in your land). These shall be your possession.
46 ‘So you shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possess them by inheritance. You shall use their labors forever. But over your brothers, the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with cruelty.
47 ‘If a sojourner or stranger near you gains, and your brother near him is impoverished and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner near you (or to the stock of the stranger’s family),
48 ‘after he is sold, he may be bought out. One of his brothers may buy him out;
49 ‘or his uncle, or his uncle’s son may buy him out; or any of the kindred of his flesh among his family may redeem him; or if he can, he may buy himself out.
50 ‘Then he shall reckon with his buyer from the year that he was sold to him to the year of Jubilee. And the money of his sale shall be according to the number of years. He shall be with him according to the time of a hired servant.
51 ‘If there are many years remaining, shall he give again for his deliverance according to them, from the money with which he was bought.
52 ‘If there remains but few years to the Year of Jubilee, then he shall reckon with him, and according to his years give again for his redemption.
53 ‘He shall be with him, year after year, as a hired servant. He shall not rule cruelly over him in your sight.
54 ‘And if he is not redeemed at this time, he shall go out in the year of Jubilee (he and his children with him).
55 ‘For the children of Israel are servants to Me. They are My servants, whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
32 Blessed is he whose wickedness is forgiven; whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I held my tongue (my bones being consumed when I roared all day,
4 for Your hand is heavy upon me day and night) and my moisture turned into the drought of Summer (Selah),
5 I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I thought, “I will confess to the LORD my wickedness against myself.” And You forgave the punishment of my sin. Selah.
6 Therefore, everyone who is godly shall make his prayer to You in a time when You may be found. Surely, in the flood of great waters they shall not come near him.
7 You are my Secret Place. You preserve me from trouble. You surround me with joyful deliverance. Selah.
8 “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you shall go. I will guide you with My eye.
9 “Be not like a horse, or like a mule, which do not understand; whose mouths you bind with bit and bridle, lest they come near you.”
10 Many sorrows shall come to the wicked. But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.
11 Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in the LORD; and be joyful, all you who are upright in heart!
8 Who is as the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of a man makes his face shine. And the strength of his face shall be changed.
2 I say, “Guard to the commandment of the king, and the word of your oath to God.
3 “Do not hurry to go forth from His sight. Do not stand in an evil thing. For He will do whatever pleases Him.”
4 Wherever the word of the king is, there is power. And who shall say to him, “What are you doing?”
5 He who keeps the commandment shall know no evil thing. And the heart of the wise shall know the time and judgment.
6 For to every purpose there is a time and judgment, because the misery of man is great upon him.
7 For he does not know that which shall be. For who can tell him when it shall be?
8 Man is not Lord over the spirit, to retain the spirit. Nor does he have power on the day of death or deliverance in the battle. Nor shall wickedness deliver its possessors.
9 All this have I seen and have given my heart to every work which is wrought under the Sun. And I saw a time that man rules over man to his own hurt.
10 And likewise I saw the wicked buried, and they returned. And those who came from the holy place were still forgotten in the city where they had done right. This also is vanity.
11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily. Therefore, the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12 Even if a sinner does evil a hundred times, and God prolongs his days, I still know that it shall be well with those who fear the LORD and do reverence before Him.
13 But it shall not be well to the wicked. Nor shall he prolong his days. He shall be like a shadow, because he did not fear before God.
14 There is a vanity which is done upon the Earth, so that there are righteous men to whom it comes according to the work of the wicked. And there are wicked men to whom it comes according to the work of the righteous. I also thought that this is vanity.
15 And I praised joy. For there is no goodness to man under the Sun, except to eat and to drink and to rejoice. For this is joined to his labor during his life that God has given him under the Sun.
16 When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to behold the business that is done on Earth — that the eyes of man takes sleep at neither day nor night —
17 then I beheld the whole work of God: that man cannot find out the work that is wrought under the Sun which man labors to seek and cannot find. Yea, and though the wise man may say he knows it, he cannot find it.
4 Therefore, I charge you before God and before the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the living and dead at His appearing and in His Kingdom:
2 Preach the Word! Be ready, in season and out of season. Convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine. But having itching ears, they shall gather a heap of teachers according to their own lusts
4 and shall turn their ears from the truth and shall be given to fables.
5 But you, be sober in all things. Suffer adversity. Do the work of an evangelist. Carry out your ministry fully.
6 For I am already being offered. And the time of my departing is at hand.
7 I have fought the good fight and have finished my course. I have kept the faith.
8 Hereafter, the crown of righteousness - which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me on that Day - is laid up for me. And not only to me but also to all those who love His appearing.
9 Hurry to come to me at once!
10 For Demas has forsaken me, and has embraced this present world, and has departed to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you. For he is useful to me for ministry.
12 And I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 When you come, bring the cloak with you which I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books (especially the parchments).
14 Alexander, the coppersmith, has done me much evil. May the Lord reward him according to his works.
15 You beware of him also. For he greatly opposes our preaching.
16 At my first defense, no one stood by me. But, all deserted me. May it not be counted against them.
17 But the Lord assisted me and strengthened me; so that by me the preaching might be fully believed, and that all the Gentiles should hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for His Heavenly Kingdom. To Him be praise for ever and ever! Amen.
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus stayed at Corinth. I left Trophimus at Miletus, sick.
21 Hurry to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your Spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
(The second Epistle written from Rome to Timothy, the first Bishop elected of the Church of Ephesus, when Paul was presented the second time before the Emperor Nero)
