37 ¶ Bezaleel also made the ark of cedar wood; two cubits and a half was the length of it, a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it;
2 and he covered it with pure gold within and without and made a moulding of gold to it round about.
3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it: even two rings upon the one side of it and two rings upon the other side of it.
4 He also made the staves of cedar wood and covered them with gold.
5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 He made the seat of reconciliation likewise of pure gold; two cubits and a half was its length, and one cubit and a half its breadth.
7 He also made the two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece he made them, on the two ends of the seat of reconciliation;
8 one cherub on the end on this side and another cherub on the other end on that side of the seat of reconciliation; he made the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
9 And the cherubim spread out their wings above, covering with their wings the seat of reconciliation, with their faces one to another; the faces of the cherubim were facing the covering.
10 ¶ And he made the table of cedar wood; two cubits was the length thereof and a cubit the breadth thereof and a cubit and a half the height thereof;
11 and he covered it with pure gold and made it a moulding of gold round about.
12 He also made it a border of a handbreadth round about and made a moulding of gold for the border thereof round about.
13 And he cast for it four rings of gold and put the rings upon the four corners that correspond to the four feet thereof.

15 And he made the staves of cedar wood and covered them with gold, to bear the table.
16 He also made the vessels which were upon the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its covers to cover the bread, of pure gold.
17 He made the lampstand likewise of pure gold; of beaten work he made the lampstand, its shaft and its branch, its bowls, its knops, and its flowers were of the same.
18 Out of the sides thereof went six branches, three branches out of one side of the lampstand and three branches out of the other side of the lampstand;
19 in one branch there were three bowls made after the fashion of almonds, a knop and a flower; and in the other branch there were three bowls made like almonds, a knop and a flower, so throughout the six branches going out of the lampstand.
20 And in the lampstand were four bowls made like almonds, their knops, and their flowers,
21 and a knop under the two branches of the same and another knop under two branches of the same and a knop under the two other branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
22 Their knops and their branches were of the same; all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 He made likewise its seven lamps and its snuffers and its snuff dishes of pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold he made it and all its vessels.
25 ¶ He also made the altar of incense of cedar wood: the length of it was a cubit and the breadth of it a cubit; it was square; and two cubits was the height of it; its horns were of the same piece.
26 And he covered it with pure gold, its top and its sides round about and its horns; and he made it a moulding of gold round about.
27 He also made two rings of gold for it under the moulding thereof, by the two corners of it, upon its two sides, to be places for the staves to bear it with.
28 And he made the staves of cedar wood and covered them with gold.
29 He made likewise the oil of the holy anointing and the pure aromatic incense, according to the work of the apothecary.
16 ¶ These things I have spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues, and the hour will even come when whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
3 And they will do these things unto you because they do not know the Father, nor me.
4 But I have told you these things that when that hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things unto you at the beginning because I was with you.
5 But now I go unto him that sent me, and none of you asks me, Where goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will cause you to know the things which are to come.
14 He shall clarify me, for he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.
15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.
16 ¶ A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me; and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot understand what he says.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice; but even though ye shall be sorrowful, your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 The woman, when she is in travail, has pain, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one shall take your joy from you.
23 ¶ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
24 Until now ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.
25 I have spoken these things unto you in proverbs, but the hour comes when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.
26 In that day ye shall ask in my name, and I do not say unto you that I will ask the Father for you;
27 for the Father himself loves you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.
28 ¶ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb.
30 Now we understand that thou knowest all things and needest not that anyone should ask thee; by this we believe that thou didst come forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, the hour comes and is now come, that ye shall be scattered, each one to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

6 ¶ Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
5 Slaves, be obedient to those that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in simplicity of your heart as unto the Christ,
6 not to be seen as only pleasing men, but as the slaves of the Christ, doing the will of God from within,
7 with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good thing anyone does, the same shall they receive of the Lord, whether they are slaves or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same unto them, forbearing threats, knowing that their Master and yours is also in the heavens and that he is no respecter of persons.
10 ¶ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand firm against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the lords of this age, rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens.
13 Therefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and stand fast, all the work having been finished.
14 Stand firm, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth and having on the breastplate, {the coat of mail and coat of arms} of righteousness,
15 and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace,
16 above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching in this with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
19 ¶ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that in this I may speak boldly as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, shall make known to you all things,
22 whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all those that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.
