Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
96 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD all the Earth!
2 Sing to the LORD! Praise His Name! Declare His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His Glory among all nations, His wonders among all people.
4 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the people are idols. But the LORD made the heavens.
6 Strength and glory are before Him. Power and beauty are in His Sanctuary.
7 Give to the LORD, you families of the people! Give to the LORD glory and power!
8 Give to the LORD the glory of His Name. Bring an offering and enter into His courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the glorious Sanctuary. Tremble before Him, all the Earth.
23 And inside the oracle he made two Cherubim of olive, ten cubits high.
24 Also, the wing of one Cherub was five cubits. And the wing of the other Cherub was five cubits. From the outermost part of one of his wings to the outermost part of the other of his wings, was ten cubits.
25 Also, the other Cherub was ten cubits. Both the Cherubim were of the same measure and size.
26 The height of one Cherub was ten cubits and so was the other Cherub.
27 And he put the Cherubim inside the inner House. And the Cherubim stretched out their wings, so that the wing of one touched one wall and the wing of the other Cherub touched the other wall. And their other wings touched one another in the midst of the House.
28 And he overlaid the Cherubim with gold.
29 And he carved all the walls of the House, all around, with engraved figures of Cherubim and of palm trees and engraved flowers, inside and outside.
30 And he covered the floor of the House with gold, inside and outside.
31 And in the entrance to the oracle he made two doors of olive. The upper post and side posts were five square.
32 The two doors were also of olive. And he engraved them with engravings of Cherubim and palm trees and engraved flowers and covered them with gold and laid thin gold upon the Cherubim and upon the palm trees.
33 And so he made foursquare posts of olive for the door of the Temple.
34 But the two doors were of fir. The two sides of one door were round, and the two sides of the other door were round.
35 And he engraved Cherubim and palm trees and carved flowers, and covered the carved work with finely-worked gold.
36 And he built the court inside with three rows of hewn stone, and one row of beams of cedar.
37 In the fourth year, the foundation of the House of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv.
38 And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul (which is the eighth month), he finished the House, with all its furniture, and in every point. So, he was seven years in building it.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade man and are made manifest to God. And I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences.
12 For we do not commend ourselves to you again but give you an occasion to exult on our behalf, so that you may have an answer toward those who rejoice in appearance, and not in the heart.
13 For if we are out of our wits, we are so to God: or if we are in our right minds, we are so to you.
14 For the love of Christ constrains us,
15 because we thus judge: that if One is dead for all, then were all dead. And He died for all, so that those who live, should henceforth no longer live for themselves, but for Him Who died for them and rose again.
16 Therefore, henceforth we consider no one according to the flesh. Yea, even though we had known Christ according to the flesh, we do so no more.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
