31 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in intelligence and in science and in all manner of workmanship,
4 to devise cunning works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,
5 and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the desire of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I have commanded thee:
7 The tabernacle of the testimony and the ark of the testimony and the seat of reconciliation that shall be upon it and all the vessels of the tabernacle
8 and the table and its vessels and the pure lampstand with all its vessels and the altar of incense,
9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base
10 and the clothes of service and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons that they may be priests,
11 and the anointing oil and aromatic incense for the sanctuary; they shall do according to all that I have commanded thee.
12 ¶ And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
13 And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, With all this ye shall keep my sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your ages; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you; those that defile it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days shall work be done; but the seventh, the sabbath of rest, shall be holy to the LORD; whoever does any work in the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16 Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their ages for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the sons of Israel for ever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
10 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 And they will not follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
6 Jesus spoke this parable unto them, but they did not understand what it was that he spoke unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I AM the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I AM the door; whosoever enters in by me shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief comes not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy the sheep; I am come that they might have life and that they might have it in abundance.
11 I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
12 But the hireling, who is not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches them and scatters the sheep.
13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling, and the sheep do not belong to him.
14 I AM the good shepherd, and know my sheep and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knows me, even so I know the Father, and I lay down my soul for the sheep.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this fold; it is expedient that I bring them also, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
17 Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my soul that I might take it again.
18 No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received of my Father.
19 ¶ There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these words.
20 And many of them said, He has a demon and is beside himself; why do ye hear him?
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
22 ¶ And they celebrated the dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews came round about him and said unto him, Until when wilt thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;
28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall anyone pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we do not stone thee, but for blasphemy; and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
36 do ye say of him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
38 But if I do, though ye do not believe me, believe the works that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.
39 ¶ Therefore they sought again to take him, but he escaped out of their hand
40 and went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized, and there he abode.
41 And many came unto him and said, John certainly did no sign, but all the things that John spoke of this man were true.
42 And many believed in him there.
7 ¶ My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers; write them upon the tablet of thine heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the woman belonging to someone else, from the stranger who flatters with her words.
6 ¶ For at the window of my house I looked through my casement
7 and beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
9 in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night;
10 and, behold, a woman met him with the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet do not abide in her house:
12 Now without, now in the streets, she lies in wait at every corner.)
13 So she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said unto him,
14 I had promised sacrifices of peace; today I have paid my vows.
15 Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the husband is not at home; he is gone a long journey:
20 He has taken a bag of money with him and will come home at the appointed feast day.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield; with the flattering of her lips she persuaded him.
22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goes to the slaughter or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 until the arrow pierces through his liver. He is as a bird struggling in the snare and not knowing that it is against his own life.
24 ¶ Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye sons, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways; do not go astray in her paths.
26 For she has caused many to fall down dead; yea, all the strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.
6 ¶ Brethren, if anyone is overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfil the law of the Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 But let everyone prove his own work, and then he shall have glory regarding only himself, and not in another.
5 For everyone shall bear his own burden.
6 Let the one that is taught in the word communicate unto the one that teaches in all good things.
7 Do not deceive yourselves; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows that shall he also reap.
8 For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that sows in the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
10 Therefore as long as we have the opportunity, let us do good unto everyone, especially unto those who are of the household of faith.
11 ¶ Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with my own hand.
12 As many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of the Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law, but desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But in no wise should I glory, except in the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
