36 ¶ Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man unto whom the LORD gave wisdom and intelligence to know how to do all the work of the service of the sanctuary, all the things that the LORD had commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom and every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it;
3 and they took from the presence of Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it with. And they brought yet unto him free will offerings every morning.
4 So much that all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came every man from his work which they made,
5 and they spoke with Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the work of the ministry which the LORD commanded to make.
6 And Moses commanded it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing,
7 for they had abundant material for all the work; more than enough to make it with.
8 ¶ And everyone with a wise heart among those that wrought the work made the tabernacle of ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, which they made of cunning work, with cherubim.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain in the border in the coupling; likewise he made in the border of the second curtain in the coupling.
12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the second curtain in the border in the coupling, the loops in front of the others.
13 And he made fifty hooks of gold and coupled the curtains one unto another with the hooks, so it became one tabernacle.
14 ¶ Likewise he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of one size.
16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops upon the edge of the uttermost curtain in the coupling, and he made another fifty loops upon the edge of the other curtain in the coupling.
18 And he also made fifty hooks of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and another covering of badgers’ skins above that.
20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of cedar wood, standing up.
21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the breadth one cubit and a half.
22 Each board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 He made, therefore, the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side towards the Negev.
24 He also made the forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side of the Aquilon, {the north wind} he made twenty boards,
26 with their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 And for the westward side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
28 And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides,
29 which were coupled beneath and likewise coupled together above to a ring; thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30 There were, therefore, eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 And he also made bars of cedar wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the westward side.
33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 And he covered the boards with gold and made their rings of gold for the bars to pass through and covered the bars with gold also.
35 ¶ Likewise he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, which he made with cherubim of cunning work.
36 And for it he made four pillars of cedar and covered them with gold; their capitals were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 Likewise he made the veil for the tabernacle door of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, of needlework,
38 and its five pillars with their capitals; and he covered their heads and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets he made of brass.
15 ¶ I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he shall take away; and every one that bears fruit, he shall purge that they may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I AM the vine, ye are the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
6 He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and are burned.
7 If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.
9 ¶ As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
11 These things I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and that your joy might be fulfilled.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 From now on I do not call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his lord does; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it unto you.
17 This I command you, that ye love one another.
18 ¶ If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The slave is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 But they will do all these things unto you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them works which no other man has done, they would not have sin; but now they have seen them and hate both me and my Father.
25 But this comes to pass that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me;
27 and ye also shall bear witness because ye have been with me from the beginning.
12 ¶ Whosoever loves chastening loves knowledge, but he that hates reproof is carnal.
2 ¶ The good man shall attain the favour of the LORD, but the man of wicked thoughts he will condemn.
3 ¶ Man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 ¶ The virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, but she that makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
5 ¶ The thoughts of the righteous are upright, but the astuteness of the wicked is deceit.
6 ¶ The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7 ¶ God shall overthrow the wicked, and they shall not be any longer, but the house of the righteous shall remain.
8 ¶ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
9 ¶ He that despises himself and becomes a slave is better than he that honours himself and lacks bread.
10 ¶ The righteous is merciful even unto his beast, but the piety of the wicked is cruel.
11 ¶ He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.
12 ¶ The wicked desires the net of evil men, but the root of the righteous shall yield fruit.
13 ¶ The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips, but the just shall come out of the tribulation.
14 ¶ Man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 ¶ The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, but he that hears counsel is wise.
16 ¶ A fool’s wrath is presently known, but he who covers the injury is sane.
17 ¶ He that speaks truth shows forth righteousness, but a false witness, deceit.
18 ¶ There are those that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is medicine.
19 ¶ The lip of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 ¶ Deceit is in the heart of those whose thoughts are evil, but joy in that of those whose thoughts are good.
21 ¶ No iniquity shall overtake the righteous: but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22 ¶ Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but the workers of the truth are his delight.
23 ¶ The sane man conceals his wisdom: but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24 ¶ The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the negligent shall be under tribute.
25 ¶ Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop: but a good word makes it glad.
26 ¶ The righteous causes his neighbour to consider: but the way of the wicked causes them to err.
27 ¶ The deceitful man does not even roast that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 ¶ In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
5 ¶ Be ye therefore imitators of God, as dear children
2 and walk in charity even as the Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
3 ¶ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becomes saints,
4 neither dishonest words nor foolishness nor low jesting, which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no fornicator nor unclean person nor covetous man, who is also an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Be not ye, therefore, partakers with them.
8 For in another time ye were darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord: walk as children of light;
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
10 approving what is well pleasing unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which they do in secret.
13 But all these things when they are reproved by the light are made manifest, for the light is that which manifests everything.
14 Therefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore, be ye not unwise, but understanding of what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which there is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking among yourselves with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and praising the Lord in your hearts,
20 giving thanks always for all things unto the God and Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 ¶ submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husband, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as the Christ is head of the congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} and it is he who gives saving health to the body.
24 Therefore, as the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} is subject unto the Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives even as the Christ also loved the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} and gave himself for her,
26 that he might sanctify and cleanse her in the washing of water by the word,
27 that he might present her glorious for himself, a congregation, {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought husbands to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself.
29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it even as the Lord with his congregation. {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined unto his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the congregation. {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}
33 Nevertheless, let each one of you do likewise, let each one so love his wife even as himself, and let the wife see that she reverences her husband.
