6
 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7
 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8
 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9
 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10
 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11
 And not only
so,
but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
12
 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13
 (for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14
 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15
 But not as the offence, so also
is
the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace,
which is
by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16
 And not as
it was
by one that sinned,
so is
the gift: for the judgment
was
by one to condemnation, but the free gift
is
of many offences unto justification.
17
 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
18
 Therefore as by the offence of one
judgment came
upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one
the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of life.
19
 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
20
 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21
 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
A Psalm of David.
1
 L
ORD
, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2
 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3
Â
He that
backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4
 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the L
ORD
.
He that
sweareth to
his own
hurt, and changeth not.
5
Â
He that
putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these
things
shall never be moved.
18
 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19
 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver
him,
yet thou must do it again.
1
 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the L
ORD
his God
was
with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2
 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
3
 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that
was
at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the L
ORD
had made in the wilderness.
4
 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to
the place which
David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5
 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the L
ORD
: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
6
 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the L
ORD
, which
was
at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7
 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8
 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9
 Now, O L
ORD
God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10
 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people,
that is so
great?
11
 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12
 wisdom and knowledge
is
granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that
have been
before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13
 Then Solomon came
from his journey
to the high place that
was
at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14
 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15
 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem
as plenteous
as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that
are
in the vale for abundance.
16
 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17
 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred
shekels
of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out
horses
for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
2:
1
 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the L
ORD
, and an house for his kingdom.
2
 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3
 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein,
even so deal with me.
4
 Behold, I build an house to the name of the L
ORD
my God, to dedicate
it
to him,
and
to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the L
ORD
our God. This
is an ordinance
for ever to Israel.
5
 And the house which I build
is
great: for great
is
our God above all gods.
6
 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who
am
I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
7
 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that
are
with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8
 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants
shall be
with thy servants,
9
 even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build
shall be
wonderful great.
10
 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
11
 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the L
ORD
hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
12
 Huram said moreover, Blessed
be
the L
ORD
God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the L
ORD
, and an house for his kingdom.
13
 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
14
 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father
was
a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
15
 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:
16
 and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in flotes by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
17
 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that
were
in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
18
 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them
to be
bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand
to be
hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
3:
1
 Then Solomon began to build the house of the L
ORD
at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where
the L
ORD
appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
2
 And he began to build in the second
day
of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
3
 Now these
are the things wherein
Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure
was
threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
4
 And the porch that
was
in the front
of the house,
the length
of it was
according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height
was
an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.
5
 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
6
 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold
was
gold of Parvaim.
7
 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.
8
 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof
was
according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold,
amounting
to six hundred talents.
9
 And the weight of the nails
was
fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
10
 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
11
 And the wings of the cherubims
were
twenty cubits long: one wing
of the one cherub was
five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing
was likewise
five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
12
 And
one
wing of the other cherub
was
five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing
was
five cubits
also,
joining to the wing of the other cherub.
13
 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces
were
inward.
14
 And he made the veil
of
blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
15
 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that
was
on the top of each of them
was
five cubits.
16
 And he made chains,
as
in the oracle, and put
them
on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put
them
on the chains.
17
 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
