8 ¶ Then the LORD spoke unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thy house and into thy bedchamber and upon thy bed and into the houses of thy slaves and upon thy people and into thine ovens and into thy kneadingtroughs;
4 and the frogs shall come up upon thee and upon thy people and upon all thy slaves.
5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the ponds and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did the same with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said unto them, Intreat the LORD that he may take away the frogs from me and from my people, and I will let the people go that they may sacrifice unto the LORD.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Tell me: when shall I intreat for thee and for thy slaves and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain only in the river?
10 And he said, Tomorrow. And Moses replied, Be it according to thy word, that thou may know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee and from thy houses and from thy slaves and from thy people; they shall remain only in the river.
12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs of the houses, of the villages, and of the fields died.
14 And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land was corrupted.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart and did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.
16 ¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
18 And the magicians did the same with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. And there were lice upon man and upon beast.
19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart hardened, and he did not hearken unto them as the LORD had said.
20 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh; behold, he goes forth to the water and say unto him, The LORD hath said thus, Let my people go that they may serve me.
21 For if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee and upon thy slaves and upon thy people and into thy houses; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of all kinds of flies and also the ground upon which they are.
22 And I will separate in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no kind of flies shall be there to the end that thou may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23 And I will put redemption between my people and thy people. Tomorrow shall this sign be.
24 And the LORD did so: that there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh and into his slaves’ houses and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
25 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land of Egypt.
26 And Moses replied, It is not convenient to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God. Behold, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?
27 We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as he has said unto us.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; pray for me.
29 And Moses answered, Behold, as I go out from thy presence, I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his slaves, and from his people tomorrow; if Pharaoh will not deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
30 Then Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed unto the LORD.
31 And the LORD did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his slaves, and from his people; there remained not one.
32 And Pharaoh even hardened his heart this time and did not let the people go.
11 ¶ And it came to pass that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in the heavens, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so also in the earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend and shall go unto him at midnight and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those that ask him?
14 ¶ And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the one who had been dumb spoke; and the people marvelled.
15 But some of them said, He casts out devils through Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every house or city divided against itself will not remain.
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out the demons, certainly the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When an armed strong man keeps his palace, his goods are in peace;
22 but when another stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he takes from him all his arms in which he trusted and divides his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return unto my house from which I came out.
25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.
26 Then he goes, and takes unto him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 ¶ And it came to pass as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the crowd lifted up her voice and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee and the breasts which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Rather, blessed are those that hear the word of God and keep it.
29 ¶ And gathering the people unto him, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign, and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment against the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a lampstand that those who come in may see the light.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye; therefore when thine eye is sincere, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore if the light which is in thee is darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore is full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light as when the bright shining of a lamp doth give thee light.
37 ¶ And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him, and he went in and sat down to food.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms {lit. do acts of mercy} of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs and pass over the judgment and the charity of God; these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seats in the synagogues and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which are not seen, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said unto him, Master, saying these things, thou dost reproach us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and others they shall persecute:
50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple; verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and those that were entering in, ye hindered.
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently and to provoke him to speak of many things,
54 laying wait for him and seeking to catch something out of his mouth that they might accuse him.
25 ¶ Then Bildad, the Shuhite, answered, and said,
2 Dominion and fear are with God; he makes peace in his high places.
3 Is there any number to his armies? And upon whom does his light not arise?
4 How then can man be justified with God? Or how can he that is born of a woman be clean?
5 Behold, even the moon shall not shine, neither are the stars pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, who is as a worm, and the son of man, who is also a worm?
26 ¶ Job answered and said,
2 How hast thou helped the one who has no power? Hast thou saved with thy arm the one who has no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled the one that has no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words, and whose is the spirit that comes forth from thee?
5 ¶ Dead things are formed under the waters and of its dwelling places.
6 Sheol is naked before him, and hell has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north wind over the empty place and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holds back the face of his throne and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds until the end of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his intelligence he smites its pride.
13 By his spirit he has adorned the heavens; his hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Behold, these are parts of his ways; but how little a portion have we heard of him? For the thunder of his power, who shall understand?
12 ¶ Now regarding spiritual things, brothers, I would not have you ignore them.
2 Ye know that when ye were Gentiles, ye went, even as ye were led, unto the dumb idols.
3 Therefore I give you to understand, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema and that no one can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there is dispersal of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there is dispersal of ministries, but the same Lord.
6 And there is dispersal of operations, but it is the same God who works all in each one.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one to profit with.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;
9 to another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 to another, the operation of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, different kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues:
11 one and the same Spirit operates all these things, dispersing to each one his own gift as he wills.
12 ¶ For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also the Christ.
13 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Greeks, whether we are slaves or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
18 But now God has set the members each one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now they are indeed many members, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 For those members of the body, which seem to be weaker, are much more necessary;
23 and those members of the body which we think to be more vile, these we dress with more abundant honour; and those in us who are more indecent have more honesty.
24 For those in us who are more honest need nothing, but God has ordered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that one which lacked,
25 that there should be no contradiction in the body, but that the members should have the same care one for another.
26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer together; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together.
27 ¶ Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular.
28 And God did set certain ones in the congregation: {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that faculties, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? do all have faculties?
30 Do all have gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But earnestly pursue the best gifts, and yet I show unto you a more excellent way.
