THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 9:

24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS.
CHAPTER 3:

FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE
THESSALONIANS.
CHAPTER 4

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep
in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word
of the Lord, that we which are alive and
remain unto the coming of the Lord shall
not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of
God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.

THE
FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE
CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 15:

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit
incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put
on incorruption, and this mortal shall have
put on immortality, then shall be brought
to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the
strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN.
CHAPTER 8:

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.
CHAPTER 13:

43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

CHAPTER 14:

3 Long time therefore abode theyspeaking boldly in the Lord, which gave
testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

CHAPTER 20:

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to
God, and to the word of his grace, which
is able to build you up, and to give you an
inheritance among all them which are
sanctified.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN.
CHAPTER 1:

14 And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.

CHAPTER 17:

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy
word is truth.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE COLOSSIANS.
CHAPTER 3:

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord.

THE PROVERBS.
CHAPTER 4:

4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let
thine heart retain my words: keep my
commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it
not; neither decline from the words of my
mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve
thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore
get wisdom: and with all thy getting get
understanding.

THE FIFTH BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED DEUTERONOMY.
CHAPTER 32:

31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even
our enemies themselves being judges.

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 10:

MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that
ye should be ignorant, how that all our
fathers were under the cloud, and all
passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the
cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual
drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock
that followed them: and that Rock was
Christ.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GALATIANS

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 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.

TO THE CORINTHIANS.

CHAPTER 15:

MOREOVER, brethren, I declare unto
you the gospel which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received, and wherein
ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in
memory what I preached unto you, unless
ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that
which I also received, how that Christ
died for our sins according to the
scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose
again the third day according to the
scriptures:
