TETH
65 O Lord, thou hast dealt [a]graciously with thy servant, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was [b]afflicted, I went astray: but now I keep thy word.
68 Thou art good and gracious: teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have imagined a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 [c]Their heart is fat as grease, but my delight is in thy Law.
71 It is [d]good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes.
72 The Law of thy mouth is better unto me, than thousands of gold and silver.
27 ¶ Likewise if any of the [a]people of the land shall sin through ignorance in doing against any of the commandments of the Lord, which should not be done, and shall offend,
28 If one show him his sin which he hath committed, then he shall bring for his offering, [b]a she goat without blemish for his sin which he hath committed.
29 [c]And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 Then the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the burnt offering altar, and pour all the rest of the blood thereof at the foot of the altar,
31 And shall take away all his fat, as the fat of the peace offerings is taken away, and the Priest shall burn it upon the altar for a (A)sweet savor unto the Lord, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
14 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
15 If any person transgress and sin through ignorance [a]by taking away things consecrated unto the Lord, he shall then bring for his trespass offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, worth two shekels of silver [b]by thy estimation after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 So he shall restore that wherein he hath offended, in taking away of the holy thing, and shall put the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto the Priest: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
11 [a]Dearly beloved, [b]I beseech you, as strangers and pilgrims, (A)[c]abstain from fleshly lusts [d]which fight against the soul,
12 (B)[e] And have your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that they which speak evil of you as of evil doers, [f]may by your good (C)works which they shall see, glorify God in the day of [g]visitation.
13 (D)[h] Therefore submit yourselves unto [i]all manner ordinance of man [j]for the Lord’s sake, [k]whether it be unto the King, as unto the superior,
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent of him, [l]for the punishment of evil doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 [m]For so is the will of God, that by well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men.
16 As free, and not as having the liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 [n][o]Honor all men: (E)love [p]brotherly fellowship: fear God: honor the King.
