30 ¶ In the same manner thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon; of cedar wood shalt thou make it.
2 Its length shall be a cubit and its width a cubit; it shall be square and its height two cubits; its horns shall be of the same.
3 And thou shalt cover it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt make unto it a moulding of gold round about.
4 And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under its moulding by its two corners on both sides for places for the staves to bear it with.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of cedar wood and cover them with gold.
6 And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the seat of reconciliation that is over the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself.
7 And Aaron shall burn sweet incense thereon every morning; when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it continually before the LORD throughout your ages.
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon nor burnt sacrifice nor present; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once a year with the blood of the reconciliation for sin; once a year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your ages; it shall be most holy unto the LORD.
11 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest the number of the sons of Israel after the sum of them, each one shall give a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou dost number them, that there be no mortality in them because of numbering them.
13 This shall be given by every one that passes among those that are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs); a half shekel shall be the offering to the LORD.
14 Anyone that passes among those that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give the offering unto the LORD.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give the offering unto the LORD to make reconciliation for your souls.
16 And thou shalt take the reconciliation money of the sons of Israel and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the testimony, and it shall be a memorial unto the sons of Israel before the LORD to reconcile your souls.
17 ¶ And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and its base also of brass, to wash with; and thou shalt place it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, and thou shalt put water in it.
19 And from it Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet.
20 When they go into the tabernacle of the testimony, they shall wash with water that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn the offering unto the LORD that must be consumed by fire,
21 they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And he and his seed shall have it as a perpetual statute throughout their generations.
22 ¶ The LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
23 Thou must take unto thee of the principal spices: of excellent myrrh five hundred shekels and of aromatic cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of aromatic calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
24 and of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive one hin;
25 and thou shalt make of it the oil of the holy anointing, a superior ointment, after the art of the apothecary, which shall be the oil of the holy anointing.
26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the testimony with it and the ark of the testimony
27 and the table and all its vessels and the lampstand and its vessels and the altar of incense
28 and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base.
29 Thus thou shalt consecrate them, and they shall be most holy; whatever touches them shall be sanctified.
30 And thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them that they may be my priests.
31 And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be my oil of the holy anointing throughout your ages.
32 It shall not be poured upon man’s flesh; neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it; it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
33 Whoever compounds any like it and puts any of it upon a stranger shall be cut off from his people.
34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee aromas, stacte and onycha and aromatic galbanum and pure frankincense, of each in equal weight.
35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy;
36 and thou shalt beat some of it very small and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the testimony, where I will testify unto thee of myself. It shall be most holy unto you.
37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves another according to the composition thereof: it shall be holiness unto thee for the LORD.
38 Whoever shall make another like unto that to smell it shall be cut off from his people.
9 ¶ And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 It is expedient that I do the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes, when no one can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay
7 and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). Then he went and washed and came back seeing.
8 ¶ The neighbours, therefore, and those who before had seen him that he was blind said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.
10 Then they said unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand had been blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus had made the clay and had opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and do see.
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
17 They said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that has opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then does he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son and that he was born blind;
21 but by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age, ask him; he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
24 Then they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear? Do ye also desire to be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We know that God spoke unto Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where he is from.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Indeed this is a marvellous thing that ye do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone should fear God and do his will, him he will hear.
32 Since the world began it has not been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 ¶ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen him, and it is he that talks with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see might see and that those who see might be blinded.
40 And some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now because ye say, We see, therefore your sin abides.
6 ¶ My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 thou art snared with the words of thy mouth; thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, for thou hast fallen into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Escape as a roe from the hand of the hunter and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 ¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise,
7 Who having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travels and thy want as an armed man.
12 ¶ A wicked man of Belial walks with a perverse mouth.
13 He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
14 there is perversion in his heart; he devises evil continually; he sows discord.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
16 These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 a false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
20 ¶ My son, keep thy father’s commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is fire, and the law is light; and reproofs of chastening are the way of life,
24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eyes.
26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is reduced to a piece of bread, and the woman will hunt the precious soul of the man.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So is he that goes in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever touches her shall not be innocent.
30 Men do not take a thief lightly, even if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 and once he is taken, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 But whosoever commits adultery with a woman has a fault in his heart; he that does it corrupts his own soul.
33 A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall never be wiped away.
34 For the jealous rage of a man will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he want to forgive, though thou givest many bribes.
5 ¶ Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with the yoke of slavery.
2 Behold, I, Paul, say unto you that if ye become circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Ye are empty of the Christ, whosoever of you that justify yourselves by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith which works by charity.
7 Ye did run well; who hindered you that ye should not trust in the truth?
8 This persuasion does not come of him that called you.
9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you through the Lord that ye will not be otherwise minded, but he that troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the offence of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} ceased.
12 I even desire that those who trouble you would cut themselves off.
13 ¶ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by charity serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye are not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye are led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; which I denounce, as I have also told you in time past that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is this: Charity, joy, peace, tolerance, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 For those that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
