M’Cheyne Bible Reading Plan
2 Then Solomon vowed to build a House for the Name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
2 And Solomon counted out seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand men to cut on the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
3 And Solomon sent to Huram, the king of Tyre, saying, “Since you have done for David, my father, and sent him cedar trees to build himself a house to dwell in,
4 “behold, I am building a House to the Name of the LORD my God, to sanctify it to Him and to burn sweet incense before Him, for the continual showbread and for the Burnt Offerings of the morning and evening, on the Sabbath days and in the new months and at the solemn Feasts of the LORD our God. This is a perpetual thing for Israel.
5 “And the House which I will build is great. For great is our God, above all gods.
6 “Who is he, then, who is able to build Him a House when the heaven and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I, then, that I should build Him a House? But I do it to burn incense before Him.
7 “Therefore, send me now a cunning man who can work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in purple, in crimson and blue silk, and who is skilled in engraved work (as are the cunning men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem whom David my father has prepared).
8 “Also, send me cedar trees, fir trees and Algummim trees from Lebanon. For I know that your servants are skilled to cut timber in Lebanon. And behold, my servants shall be with yours,
9 “so that they may prepare timber for me in abundance. For the House which I shall build is great and wonderful.
10 “And behold, I will give to your servants, the woodsmen who cut timber: twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, twenty thousand measures of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11 Then Huram, king of Tyre, answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because the LORD has loved His people, He has made you king over them.”
12 Huram said moreover, “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, Who made the heaven and the Earth, and Who has given a wise son to David the king, who has discretion, prudence and understanding to build a House for the LORD and a palace for his kingdom.
13 “Now, therefore, I have sent a wise man of understanding, one of my father Huram’s,
14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan. And his father was a man of Tyre. And he is skilled to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue silk, in fine linen, and in crimson, and is skilled in all engraving and in all embroidered work that shall be given to him by your cunning men and by the cunning men of my lord David, your father.
15 “Now, therefore, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants.
16 “And we will cut wood in Lebanon, as much as you shall need, and will bring it to you to Japho by sea, in rafts, so you may carry them to Jerusalem.”
17 And Solomon counted all the strangers who were in the land of Israel, in the same way that his father David had counted them. And one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred were found.
18 And he set seventy thousand of them to the burden, and eighty thousand to cut on the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.
2 My little children, these things I write to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father: Jesus Christ, the Just.
2 And He is the reconciliation for our sins; and not only for ours, but also for the whole world.
3 And by this we are sure that we know Him: if we keep His Commandments.
4 The one who says, “I know him,” and does not keep His Commandments, is a liar. And the truth is not in him.
5 But whoever keeps His Word, in him is the love of God accomplished. By this we know that we are in Him.
6 Whoever says that he remains in Him, ought still to walk as He has walked.
7 Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old Commandment which you have had from the beginning. This old Commandment is that Word which you have heard from the beginning.
8 On the other hand, a new Commandment I do write to you (which is true in Him and also in you). For the darkness is passing, and the true Light now shines.
9 Whoever says that he is in the Light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.
10 Whoever loves his brother, abides in the Light. And there is no stumbling block in him.
11 But whoever hates his brother, is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and does not know where he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Little children, I write to you because your sins are forgiven for His Name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him Who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him Who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love neither this world nor the things which are in this world. If anyone loves this world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in this world (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life), is not of the Father, but is of this world.
17 And this world passes away, and the lust thereof. But whoever fulfills the will of God, abides forever.
18 Little children, it is the last hour. And just as you have heard that Antichrist shall come, so now there are many Antichrists (by which we know that it is the last hour).
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But this is so that all of those who were not of us are revealed.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it (and no lie comes from the truth).
22 Who is a liar, except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father.
24 Therefore, let that same which you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you shall also continue in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that He has promised us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who deceive you.
27 But that anointing which you received from Him dwells in you. And you do not need anyone to teach you. But as that same anointing teaches you of all things - and it is true, and not lying, and as it is taught to you - you shall abide in Him.
28 And now, little children, abide in Him. So that when He shall appear, we may be bold and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that whoever does righteously is born of Him.
1 The burden of Nineveh. The Book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God is jealous. And the LORD avenges. The LORD avenges, the LORD of anger. The LORD will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, but great in power, and will not surely acquit. The LORD has His way in the whirlwind, and in the storm. And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it. And He dries up all the rivers. Bashan is withered, and Carmel. And the flower of Lebanon is wilted.
5 The mountains tremble for Him, and the hills melt. And the Earth is burnt at His sight, yea the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Who can stand before His wrath? Or who can abide in the fierceness of His wrath? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken by Him.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. And He knows those who trust in Him.
8 But passing over as with a flood, He will utterly destroy its place. And darkness shall pursue His enemies.
9 What do you imagine against the LORD? He will make an utter destruction. Affliction shall not rise up a second time.
10 For like tangled thorns, and like drunkards in their drunkenness, they shall be devoured as fully dried stubble.
11 There comes one out of you who imagines evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor.
12 Thus says the LORD: “Though they are quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall pass. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 “For now I will break his yoke from you and will burst your bonds asunder.
14 “And the LORD has given a Commandment concerning you that no more of your name be scattered. Out of the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the cast image. I will make it your grave for you, for you are vile.
15 “Behold the feet of him who declares and publishes peace upon the mountains. O Judah, keep your solemn Feasts, perform your vows! For the wicked shall no longer pass through you. He is utterly cut off.”
17 Then He said to His disciples, “It is impossible for stumbling blocks not to come. But, but woe to him by whom they come.
2 “It would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 “Pay attention to yourselves. If your brother trespasses against you, rebuke him. And if he repents, forgive him.
4 “And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turns again to you, saying, ‘I repent’, you shall forgive him.”
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 And the Lord said, “If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pluck yourself up by the roots and plant yourself in the sea’, and it would obey you.
7 “Also, who of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say to him when he comes from the field, ‘Come at once, and sit down to eat?’
8 “Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare my supper and dress yourself. And serve me until I have eaten and drunk. And you eat and drink afterward?’
9 “Does he thank that servant because he did that which was commanded? I think not.
10 “So likewise you, when you have done all those things which are commanded of you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done that which was our duty to do.’”
11 And so it was when He went to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as He entered into a certain town, ten leprous men met Him there, who stood at a distance.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!”
14 And when He saw, He said to them, “Go. Show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice praised God,
16 and fell down on his face at His feet and gave him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answered, and said, “Are there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 “There is no one found who returned to give God praise, except this stranger?”
19 And He said to him, “Arise. Go your way. Your faith has saved you.”
20 And when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them, and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation.
21 “Nor shall they say, ‘Lo, here!’ or ‘Lo, there!’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”
22 And He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you shall not see it.
23 “Then they shall say to you, ‘Behold here!’or ‘Behold there!’ Do not go there or follow them.
24 “For as the lightning that flashes out of one part of Heaven, shines into another part of Heaven, so shall the Son of Man be on His day.
25 “But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 “They ate, they drank, they married wives and gave in marriage, until the day that Noah went into the Ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “Also, as it was in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 “But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 “So shall it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31 “On that day, the one who is upon the house (and his stuff in the house), let him not come down to take it out. And likewise, the one who is in the field, let him not turn back to that which he left behind.
32 “Remember Lot’s wife.
33 “Whoever will seek to save his soul, shall lose it. And whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.
34 “I tell you, on that night there shall be two in one bed. The one shall be received, and the other shall be left.
35 “Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
36 “Two shall be in the field. One shall be received, and another shall be left.”
37 And they answered, and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there also shall the birds of prey be gathered together.”
