1 And the Lord called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
2 “Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them: ‘If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.
3 “‘If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6 And he shall flay the burnt offering and cut it into his pieces.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
8 And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;
9 but his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water. And the priest shall burn all on the altar to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
10 “‘And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a male without blemish.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord; and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
12 And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar,
13 but he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water. And the priest shall bring it all and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
14 “‘And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the Lord be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves or of young pigeons.
15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar.
16 And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes.
17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
20 On the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher and saw the stone taken away from the sepulcher.
2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid Him!”
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher.
4 And they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulcher.
5 And stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he went not in.
6 Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher and saw the linen cloths as they lay
7 and the napkin that had been about His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then the other disciple, who came first to the sepulcher, went in also; and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood outside at the sepulcher weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the sepulcher,
12 and saw two angels in white, sitting one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they said unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou?” She said unto them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him.”
14 And when she had thus said, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said unto Him, “Sir, if thou have borne Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away.”
16 Jesus said unto her, “Mary!” She turned herself and said unto Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, “Master”).
17 Jesus said unto her, “Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say unto them, ‘I ascend unto My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in their midst and said unto them, “Peace be unto you.”
20 And when He had so said, He showed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, “Peace be unto you. As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.”
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said unto them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
23 Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever sins ye retain, they are retained.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said unto them, “Unless I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26 And after eight days the disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be unto you.”
27 Then said He to Thomas, “Reach hither thy finger and behold My hands, and reach hither thy hand and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing.”
28 And Thomas answered and said unto Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, ye might have life through His name.
17 Better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.
3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord trieth the hearts.
4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips, and a liar giveth ear to a wicked tongue.
5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker, and he that is glad at calamities shall not go unpunished.

7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool, much less do lying lips a prince.
8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it; whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.
9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love, but he that repeateth a matter separateth good friends.
10 A reproof entereth deeper into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Let a man meet a bear robbed of her whelps, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Whoso returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like the letting out of water: therefore break off contention before it is meddled with.
15 He that justifieth the wicked and he that condemneth the just, both alike are an abomination to the Lord.
16 Why should there be in the hands of a fool the price to purchase wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to acquire it?
17 A friend is loving at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man void of understanding shaketh hands in pledge, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife, and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good, and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into iniquity.
21 He that begetteth a fool doeth so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23 A wicked man taketh a bribe out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.
26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for their equity.
27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words, and a man of understanding is of excelling spirit.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise, and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
4 Therefore, my dearly beloved and longedfor brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

5 Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Fret not about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.

12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.
14 Notwithstanding, ye have done well that ye participated in my affliction.
15 Now ye Philippians know also that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica, ye sent time and again unto my needs.
17 Not that I desire a gift, but I desire the fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you, chiefly those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
