Matthew 6:25–7:14

25
 
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26
 
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27
 
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28
 
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29
 
and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30
 
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven,
shall he
not much more
clothe
you, O ye of little faith?

31
 
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32
 
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33
 
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34
 
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is
the evil thereof.

7:
1
 
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2
 
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3
 
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4
 
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam
is
in thine own eye?
5
 
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6
 
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

7
 
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8
 
for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9
 
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10
 
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11
 
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

12
 
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13
 
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide
is
the gate, and broad
is
the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14
 
because strait
is
the gate, and narrow
is
the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Psalm 8:1-9

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.

1
 O L
ORD
our Lord, how excellent
is
thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2
 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3
 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4
 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5
 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6
 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all
things
under his feet:

7
 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8
 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the seas.

9
 O L
ORD
our Lord, how excellent
is
thy name in all the earth!

Proverbs 2:6-15

6
 For the L
ORD
giveth wisdom: out of his mouth
cometh
knowledge and understanding.

7
 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is
a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8
 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

9
 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity;
yea,
every good path.

10
 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

11
 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

12
 To deliver thee from the way of the evil
man,
from the man that speaketh froward things;

13
 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14
 Who rejoice to do evil,
and
delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

15
 Whose ways
are
crooked, and
they
froward in their paths:

Genesis 20:1–22:24

Matthew 7:15-29

Psalm 9:1-12

Proverbs 2:16-22

Genesis 20:1–22:24

1
 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2
 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She
is
my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

3
 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou
art but
a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she
is
a man's wife.

4
 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
5
 Said he not unto me, She
is
my sister? and she, even she herself said, He
is
my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.

6
 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7
 Now therefore restore the man
his
wife; for he
is
a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore
her
not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that
are
thine.

8
 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
9
 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
10
 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

11
 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God
is
not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
12
 And yet indeed
she is
my sister; she
is
the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13
 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This
is
thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He
is
my brother.

14
 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave
them
unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
15
 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land
is
before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
16
 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand
pieces
of silver: behold, he
is
to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that
are
with thee, and with all
other:
thus she was reproved.

17
 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare
children.
18
 For the L
ORD
had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.

21:
1
 And the L
ORD
visited Sarah as he had said, and the L
ORD
did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2
 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
3
 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
4
 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
5
 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

6
 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh,
so that
all that hear will laugh with me.
7
 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born
him
a son in his old age.

8
 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the
same
day that Isaac was weaned.

9
 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10
 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son,
even
with Isaac.
11
 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.

12
 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13
 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he
is
thy seed.

14
 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave
it
unto Hagar, putting
it
on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15
 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16
 And she went, and sat her down over against
him
a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against
him,
and lift up her voice, and wept.

17
 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he
is.
18
 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.

19
 And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
20
 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21
 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

22
 And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God
is
with thee in all that thou doest:
23
 now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son:
but
according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.

24
 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25
 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.

26
 And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I
of it,
but today.
27
 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
28
 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

29
 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What
mean
these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?

30
 And he said, For
these
seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
31
 Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them.

32
 Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33
 And
Abraham
planted a grove in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of the L
ORD
, the everlasting God.
34
 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.

22:
1
 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham.

And he said, Behold,
here
I
am.

2
 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only
son
Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

3
 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4
 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5
 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

6
 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid
it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7
 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father.

And he said, Here
am
I, my son.

And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where
is
the lamb for a burnt offering?

8
 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

9
 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10
 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

11
 And the angel of the L
ORD
called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham.

And he said, Here
am
I.

12
 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only
son
from me.

13
 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind
him
a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14
 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said
to
this day, In the mount of the L
ORD
it shall be seen.

15
 And the angel of the L
ORD
called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16
 and said, By myself have I sworn, saith the L
ORD
, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only
son:
17
 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which
is
upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18
 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19
 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

20
 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21
 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22
 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23
 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
24
 And his concubine, whose name
was
Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
