1
 Would to God ye could bear with me [Paul] a little in
my
folly: and indeed bear with me.
2
 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present
you as
a chaste virgin to Christ.
3
 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4
 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or
if
ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with
him.
5
 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6
 But though
I be
rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7
 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8
 I robbed other churches, taking wages
of them,
to do you service.
9
 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all
things
I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and
so
will I keep
myself.
10
 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11
 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12
 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13
 For such
are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14
 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15
 Therefore
it is
no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath Maschil,
A Psalm
of David.
1
 The fool hath said in his heart,
There is
no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:
there is
none that doeth good.
2
 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were
any
that did understand, that did seek God.
3
 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy;
there is
none that doeth good, no, not one.
4
 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people
as
they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5
 There were they in great fear,
where
no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth
against
thee: thou hast put
them
to shame, because God hath despised them.
6
 Oh that the salvation of Israel
were come
out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,
and
Israel shall be glad.
28
 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29
 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean
men.
1
 In the year that king Uzziah died I [Isaiah] saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2
 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3
 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy,
is
the L
ORD
of hosts: the whole earth
is
full of his glory.
4
 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5
 Then said I, Woe
is
me! for I am undone; because I
am
a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the L
ORD
of hosts.
6
 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand,
which
he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7
 and he laid
it
upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8
 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here
am
I; send me.
9
 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10
 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11
 Then said I, Lord, how long?
And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12
 and the L
ORD
have removed men far away, and
there be
a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13
 But yet in it
shall be
a tenth, and
it
shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance
is
in them, when they cast
their leaves: so
the holy seed
shall be
the substance thereof.
7:
1
 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah,
that
Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2
 And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3
 Then said the L
ORD
unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
4
 and say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5
 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6
 Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it,
even
the son of Tabeal:
7
 thus saith the Lord G
OD
, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8
 For the head of Syria
is
Damascus, and the head of Damascus
is
Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9
 And the head of Ephraim
is
Samaria, and the head of Samaria
is
Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10
 Moreover the L
ORD
spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11
 Ask thee a sign of the L
ORD
thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
12
 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the L
ORD
.
13
 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David;
Is it
a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14
 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15
 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16
 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
17
 The L
ORD
shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah;
even
the king of Assyria.
18
 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
the L
ORD
shall hiss for the fly that
is
in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that
is
in the land of Assyria.
19
 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
20
 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired,
namely,
by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21
 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22
 and it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk
that
they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23
 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that
every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall
even
be for briers and thorns.
24
 With arrows and with bows shall
men
come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25
 And
on
all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
16
 I [Paul] say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17
 That which I speak, I speak
it
not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18
 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19
 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye
yourselves
are wise.
20
 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour
you,
if a man take
of you,
if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
21
 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.
Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
22
 Are they Hebrews? so
am
I. Are they Israelites? so
am
I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so
am
I.
23
 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I
am
more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24
 Of the Jews five times received I forty
stripes
save one.
25
 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26
Â
in
journeyings often,
in
perils of waters,
in
perils of robbers,
in
perils by
mine own
countrymen,
in
perils by the heathen,
in
perils in the city,
in
perils in the wilderness,
in
perils in the sea,
in
perils among false brethren;
27
 in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28
 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
29
 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
30
 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
31
 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
32
 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33
 and through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
