2 Chronicles 5.0:

2 Chronicles 5.1: 5Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.

2 Chronicles 5.2: 2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

2 Chronicles 5.3: 3 So all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

2 Chronicles 5.4: 4 All the elders of Israel came. The Levites took up the ark;

2 Chronicles 5.5: 5 and they brought up the ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the Levitical priests brought up.

2 Chronicles 5.6: 6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

2 Chronicles 5.7: 7 The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

2 Chronicles 5.8: 8 For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

2 Chronicles 5.9: 9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark in front of the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside; and it is there to this day.

2 Chronicles 5.10: 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

2 Chronicles 5.11: 11 When the priests had come out of the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn’t keep their divisions;

2 Chronicles 5.12: 12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets);

2 Chronicles 5.13: 13 when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying,

“For he is good;

for his loving kindness endures forever!”

then the house was filled with a cloud, even Yahweh’s house,

2 Chronicles 5.14: 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled God’s house.

John 12.0:

John 12.1: 12Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

John 12.2: 2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

John 12.3: 3 Therefore Mary took a pound1 of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.

John 12.4: 4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,

John 12.5: 5 “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii,2 and given to the poor?”

John 12.6: 6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.

John 12.7: 7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.

John 12.8: 8 For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”

John 12.9: 9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

John 12.10: 10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

John 12.11: 11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

John 12.12: 12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

John 12.13: 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna!3 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,a the King of Israel!”

John 12.14: 14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,

John 12.15: 15 “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”b

John 12.16: 16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.

John 12.17: 17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.

John 12.18: 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

John 12.19: 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

John 12.20: 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.

John 12.21: 21 These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”

John 12.22: 22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.

John 12.23: 23 Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

John 12.24: 24 Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John 12.25: 25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

John 12.26: 26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

John 12.27: 27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time?’ But I came to this time for this cause.

John 12.28: 28 Father, glorify your name!”

Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

John 12.29: 29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”

John 12.30: 30 Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.

John 12.31: 31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

John 12.32: 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”

John 12.33: 33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

John 12.34: 34 The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever.c How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of Man?”

John 12.35: 35 Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

John 12.36: 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

John 12.37: 37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,

John 12.38: 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke,

“Lord, who has believed our report?

To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”d

John 12.39: 39 For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again,

John 12.40: 40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart,

lest they should see with their eyes,

and perceive with their heart,

and would turn,

and I would heal them.”e

John 12.41: 41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. f

John 12.42: 42 Nevertheless even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,

John 12.43: 43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.

John 12.44: 44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.

John 12.45: 45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.

John 12.46: 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

John 12.47: 47 If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

John 12.48: 48 He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.

John 12.49: 49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

John 12.50: 50 I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”

2 Corinthians 1.0:

2 Corinthians 1.1: 1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

2 Corinthians 1.2: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 1.3: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

2 Corinthians 1.4: 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

2 Corinthians 1.5: 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

2 Corinthians 1.6: 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

2 Corinthians 1.7: 7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

2 Corinthians 1.8: 8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers,1 concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

2 Corinthians 1.9: 9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

2 Corinthians 1.10: 10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

2 Corinthians 1.11: 11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

2 Corinthians 1.12: 12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

2 Corinthians 1.13: 13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end,

2 Corinthians 1.14: 14 as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

2 Corinthians 1.15: 15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

2 Corinthians 1.16: 16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

2 Corinthians 1.17: 17 When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

2 Corinthians 1.18: 18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

2 Corinthians 1.19: 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

2 Corinthians 1.20: 20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

2 Corinthians 1.21: 21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

2 Corinthians 1.22: 22 who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

2 Corinthians 1.23: 23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that I didn’t come to Corinth to spare you.

2 Corinthians 1.24: 24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

The Letter from James

1 Peter 1.0:

1 Peter 1.1: 1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

1 Peter 1.2: 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

1 Peter 1.3: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Peter 1.4: 4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

1 Peter 1.5: 5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1.6: 6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,

1 Peter 1.7: 7 that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

1 Peter 1.8: 8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,

1 Peter 1.9: 9 receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1.10: 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently. They prophesied of the grace that would come to you,

1 Peter 1.11: 11 searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.

1 Peter 1.12: 12 To them it was revealed, that they served not to themselves, but to you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

1 Peter 1.13: 13 Therefore prepare your minds for action.1 Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

1 Peter 1.14: 14 as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

1 Peter 1.15: 15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

1 Peter 1.16: 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy; for I am holy.”a

1 Peter 1.17: 17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear,

1 Peter 1.18: 18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,

1 Peter 1.19: 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ,

1 Peter 1.20: 20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,

1 Peter 1.21: 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

1 Peter 1.22: 22 Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

1 Peter 1.23: 23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

1 Peter 1.24: 24 For,

“All flesh is like grass,

and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass.

The grass withers, and its flower falls;

1 Peter 1.25: 25 but the Lord’s word endures forever.”b

This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.
