Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
24 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
2 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.
3 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?
4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.
5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.
7 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
8 Who [is] this -- `the king of glory?' Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
9 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
10 Who [is] He -- this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts -- He [is] the king of glory! Selah.
37 And Bezaleel maketh the ark of shittim wood, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;
2 and he overlayeth it with pure gold within and without, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about;
3 and he casteth for it four rings of gold, on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;
4 and he maketh staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold,
5 and he bringeth in the staves into the rings, by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he maketh a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;
7 and he maketh two cherubs of gold, of beaten work he hath made them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;
8 one cherub at the end on this [side], and one cherub at the end on that, out of the mercy-seat he hath made the cherubs, at its two ends;
9 and the cherubs are spreading out wings on high, covering over the mercy-seat with their wings, and their faces [are] one towards another; towards the mercy-seat have the faces of the cherubs been.
10 And he maketh the table of shittim wood; two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,
11 and overlayeth it with pure gold, and maketh for it a wreath of gold round about.
12 And he maketh for it a border of a handbreadth round about, and maketh a wreath of gold for its border round about;
13 and he casteth for it four rings of gold, and putteth the rings on the four corners which [are] to its four feet;
14 over-against the border have the rings been, places for staves to bear the table.
15 And he maketh the staves of shittim wood, and overlayeth them with gold, to bear the table;
16 and he maketh the vessels which [are] upon the table, its dishes, and its bowls, and its cups, and the cups by which they pour out, of pure gold.
2 In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving;
3 praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,
4 that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;
5 in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;
6 your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
7 All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord --
8 whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts,
9 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.
10 Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands -- if he may come unto you receive him,)
11 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only [are] fellow-workers for the reign of God who did become a comfort to me.
12 Salute you doth Epaphras, who [is] of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,
13 for I do testify to him, that he hath much zeal for you, and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis.
14 Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas;
15 salute ye those in Laodicea -- brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house;
16 and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the [epistle] from Laodicea that ye also may read;
17 and say to Archippus, `See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.'
18 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
