46:012:024 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. 46:012:025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 46:012:026 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 46:012:027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 46:012:028 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 46:012:029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 46:012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 46:012:031 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. 46:013:001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 46:013:002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 46:013:003 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 46:013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 46:013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 46:013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 46:013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 46:013:008 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 46:013:009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 46:013:010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 46:013:011 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

40:006:013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 40:006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 40:006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 40:006:016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 40:006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 40:006:018 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. 40:006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 40:006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 40:006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 40:006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 40:006:023 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 40:006:024 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 40:006:025 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? 40:006:026 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? 40:006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 40:006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment?

48:005:022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 48:005:023 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 48:005:024 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 48:005:025 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 48:005:026 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. 48:006:001 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 48:006:002 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 48:006:003 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 48:006:004 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 48:006:005 For every man shall bear his own burden. 48:006:006 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 48:006:007 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 48:006:008 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 48:006:009 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 48:006:010 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 48:006:011 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 48:006:012 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 48:006:013 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 48:006:014 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 48:006:015 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

46:015:001 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 46:015:002 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 46:015:003 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 46:015:004 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 46:015:005 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 46:015:006 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 46:015:007 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 46:015:008 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 46:015:009 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 46:015:010 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 46:015:011 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 46:015:012 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 46:015:013 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 46:015:014 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 46:015:015 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 46:015:016 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 46:015:017 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 46:015:018 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 46:015:019 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 46:015:020 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth He also made the sun, moon, and stars; trees, flowers, and all vegetable life; and all animals, birds, fishes, and insects. Then God made man. The name of the first man was Adam, and the first woman was Eve. Both were placed in a beautiful garden called the Garden of Eden, where they might have been happy continually had they not sinned. But God forbade them to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan tempted Eve to take the fruit of this tree. She ate, and gave to Adam, and he ate also. Thus they sinned, and sin came into the world. Then God called to Adam and said, "Where art thou?" Before this, Adam and Eve had been happy when God was near, now they were afraid. Why? Because they knew they had done wrong. So sin makes us afraid of God. God rebuked them for the evil they had done; and then drove them out of the Garden of Eden, placing an angel to keep watch over the gate so that they could not return. CAIN AND ABEL. What a sad story the Bible tells us in the fourth chapter of Genesis!

50:003:020 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 50:003:021 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. 50:004:001 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 50:004:002 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 50:004:003 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 50:004:004 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 50:004:005 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 50:004:006 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 50:004:007 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 50:004:008 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 50:004:009 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 50:004:010 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 50:004:011 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 50:004:012 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 50:004:013 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 50:004:014 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 50:004:015 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 50:004:016 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

06:001:004 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 06:001:005 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 06:001:006 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 06:001:007 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. 06:001:008 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 06:001:009 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 06:001:010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 06:001:011 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. 06:001:012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, 06:001:013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. 06:001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; 06:001:015 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

63:001:009 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 63:001:010 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 63:001:011 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 63:001:012 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. 63:001:013 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. BOOK 64 3 John 64:001:001 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 64:001:002 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 64:001:003 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 64:001:004 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 64:001:005 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 64:001:006 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 64:001:007 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 64:001:008 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. 64:001:009 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 64:001:010 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. 64:001:011 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. 64:001:012 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.

50:004:011 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 50:004:012 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 50:004:013 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 50:004:014 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 50:004:015 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 50:004:016 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 50:004:017 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 50:004:018 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 50:004:019 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 50:004:020 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 50:004:021 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 50:004:022 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household. 50:004:023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. PreviousHomeNext Book 51 Colossians 51:001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, 51:001:002 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 51:001:003 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 51:001:004 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 51:001:005 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 51:001:006 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 51:001:007 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 51:001:008 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 08:001:010 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. 08:001:011 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 08:001:012 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; 08:001:013 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. 08:001:014 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. 08:001:015 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 08:001:016 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 08:001:017 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 08:001:018 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. 08:001:019 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? 08:001:020 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 08:001:021 I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? 08:001:022 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. 08:002:001 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

19:017:008 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 19:017:009 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 19:017:010 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 19:017:011 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 19:017:012 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 19:017:013 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 19:017:014 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 19:017:015 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. 19:018:001 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 19:018:002 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 19:018:003 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 19:018:004 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 19:018:005 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 19:018:006 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 19:018:007 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 19:018:008 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 19:018:009 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 19:018:010 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 19:018:011 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

138:002 I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all. 138:003 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul. 138:004 All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth. 138:005 Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh; for great is Yahweh's glory. 138:006 For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar. 138:007 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me. 138:008 Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don't forsake the works of your own hands. 139:001 <<For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.>> Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. 139:002 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar. 139:003 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. 139:004 For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether. 139:005 You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me. 139:006 This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it. 139:007 Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? 139:008 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! 139:009 If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; 139:010 Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me. 139:011 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night;" 139:012 even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day.

01:001:024 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 01:001:025 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 01:001:026 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 01:001:027 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 01:001:028 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 01:001:029 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 01:001:030 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 01:001:031 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 01:002:001 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 01:002:002 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 01:002:003 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 01:002:004 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 01:002:005 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

And loving we shall learn God, and Truth will destroy all error. And lead us unto the Life that is Soul, and deliver us from the errors of sense, sin, sickness, and death, For God is Life, Truth, and Love for ever. --Science and Health, edition of 1881. It seems to me that this one is distinctly superior to the one that was inspired for last year's edition. It is strange, but to my mind plain, that inspiring is an art which does not improve with practice.--M. T. APPENDIX D "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him." --CHRIST JESUS. The prayer that reclaims the sinner and heals the sick, is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God--a spiritual understanding of Him--an unselfed love. Regardless of what another may say or think on this subject, I speak from experience. This prayer, combined with self-sacrifice and toil, is the means whereby God has enabled me to do what I have done for the religion and health of mankind. Thoughts unspoken are not unknown to the divine Mind. Desire is prayer; and no less can occur from trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in audible word, and in deeds. What are the motives for prayer? Do we pray to make ourselves better, or to benefit those that hear us; to enlighten the Infinite, or to be heard of men? Are we benefited by praying? Yes, the desire which goes forth hungering after righteousness is blessed of our Father, and it does not return unto us void. God is not moved by the breath of praise to do more than He has already done; nor can the Infinite do less than bestow all good, since He is unchanging Wisdom and Love.

19:061:006 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. 19:061:007 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 19:061:008 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. 19:062:001 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 19:062:002 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. 19:062:003 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. 19:062:004 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. 19:062:005 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 19:062:006 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 19:062:007 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 19:062:008 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. 19:062:009 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. 19:062:010 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 19:062:011 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. 19:062:012 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. 19:063:001 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 19:063:002 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 19:063:003 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 19:063:004 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 19:063:005 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 19:063:006 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Malachi 3:1} 007:028 "For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he." 007:029 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism. 007:030 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves. 007:031 But the Lord said,{So reads TR. MT omits "But the Lord said,"} "To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like? 007:032 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We piped to you, and you didn't dance. We mourned, and you didn't weep.' 007:033 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.' 007:034 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' 007:035 Wisdom is justified by all her children." 007:036 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table. 007:037 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment. 007:038 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 007:039 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner." 007:040 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on." 007:041 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 007:042 When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both.
