CHAPTER 1
18 Of his own will begat he us with the
word of truth, that we should be a kind of
firstfruits of his creatures.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and
superfluity of naughtiness, and receive
with meekness the engrafted word, which
is able to save your souls.

CHAPTER 55:
HO, every one that thirsteth, come ye to
the waters, and he that hath no money;
come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy
wine and milk without money and without
price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that
which is not bread? and your labour for
that which satisfieth not? hearken
diligently unto me, and eat ye that which
is good, and let your soul delight itself in
fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me:
hear, and your soul shall live; and I will
make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of David.

CHAPTER 5
12 I would they were even cut off which
trouble you.
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto
liberty; only use not liberty for an
occasion to the flesh, but by love serve
one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another,
take heed that ye be not consumed one of
another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and
ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh: and these
are contrary the one to the other: so that ye
cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not
under the law.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GALATIANS.
CHAPTER 5:
STAND fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath made us free, and
be not entangled again with the yoke of
bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be
circumcised, Christ shall profit you
nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is
circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the
whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you,
whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the
hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision;
but faith which worketh by love.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that
ye should not obey the truth?
THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF JAMES.
CHAPTER 2:
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole
law, and yet offend in one point, he is
guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit
adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if
thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill,
thou art become a transgressor of the law.
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 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.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GALATIANS.
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.
