THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE.
LUKE CHAPTER 3 LINE 16, 17
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I
indeed baptize you with water; but one
mightier than I cometh, the latchet of
whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose:
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost
and with fire:
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and will gather
the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he
will burn with fire unquenchable.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW
MATTHEW CHAPTER 3 line 11,12
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance: but he that cometh after me is
mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and gather his
wheat into the garner; but he will burn up
the chaff with unquenchable fire.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS.
HEBREWS CHAPTER 5:12-14
12 For when for the time ye ought to be
teachers, ye have need that one teach you
again which be the first principles of the
oracles of God; and are become such as
have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is
unskilful in the word of righteousness: for
he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that
are of full age, even those who by reason
of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil.
CHAPTER 6
THEREFORE leaving the principles of
the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto
perfection; not laying again the foundation
of repentance from dead works, and of
faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of
laying on of hands, and of resurrection of
the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW.
MATTHEW CHAPTER 20:23
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink
indeed of my cup, and be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with: but to
sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not
mine to give, but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared of my Father.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE COLOSSIANS.
COLOSSIANS 3:1,2,3
IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those
things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not
on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with
Christ in God.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE.
LUKE 12:49, 50
49 ¶ I am come to send fire on the earth;
and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized
with; and how am I straitened till it be
accomplished!
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS.
HEBREWS CHAPTER 13:11-13
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
