THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GALATIANS.

CHAPTER 4:

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a
woman, made under the law, 

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature
are no gods.

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye
again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the
freewoman was by promise.

24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the
mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou
that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after
the Spirit, even so it is now.

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

 

The ways of the: LORD, righteous, and wicked

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH.
CHAPTER 55:

6 ¶ Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon.
8 ¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto
me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it.

CHAPTER 3:

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was
added because of transgressions, till the
seed should come to whom the promise
was made; and it was ordained by angels
in the hand of a mediator.

21 Is the law then against the promises of
God? God forbid: for if there had been a
law given which could have given life,
verily righteousness should have been by
the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all
under sin, that the promise by faith of
Jesus Christ might be given to them that
believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept
under the law, shut up unto the faith which
should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that
we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no
longer under a schoolmaster.

29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye
Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to
the promise.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE ROMANS.
CHAPTER 4:

2 For if Abraham were justified by works,
he hath whereof to glory; but not before
God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham
believed God, and it was counted unto
him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward
not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but
believeth on him that justifieth the
ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the
blessedness of the man, unto whom God
imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose
iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are
covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord
will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the
circumcision only, or upon the
uncircumcision also? for we say that faith
was reckoned to Abraham for
righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he
was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but
in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of
circumcision, a seal of the righteousness
of the faith which he had yet being
uncircumcised: that he might be the father
of all them that believe, though they be
not circumcised; that righteousness might
be imputed unto them also:
