1Corinthinas
1 Now concerning spiritual
gifts,
brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
4 Now there are diversities
of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are
diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the
word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to
another discerning of spirits; to another divers
kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and
the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
28 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.
29 Are
all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are
all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do
all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts:
and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
John 8
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I
go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I
go, ye cannot come.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye
shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Isaiah 29
4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech
shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a
familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
James 1
17 Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with
whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O
Zion; put on thy
beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth
there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 Shake thyself from the dust;
arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose
thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Isaiah 54
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let
them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy
cords, and strengthen thy
stakes;
Titus 2
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and
godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and
the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he
might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.
Mark 12
28 ¶And one of the scribes came, and
having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered
them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment
of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well,
Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none
other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength,
and to love his neighbour
as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered
discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And
no man after that durst ask him any question.
Deuteronomy 6
3 ¶Hear therefore, O
Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be
well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the
land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command
thee this day, shall
be in thine heart:
Heb 10
29 Of how much sorer punishment,
suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son
of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith
he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit
of grace?
Heb 13
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might
sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the
gate.
Acts 20
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to
God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and
to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

7 And ye may know that he is,
by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not
the power of God; for he worketh by power, according to the faith of the
children of men, the same today and tomorrow, and forever.
8 And again, I exhort
you, my brethren, that ye deny not the gifts of God, for they are
many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that
these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh
all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God
unto men, to profit them.
9 For behold, to one is
given by the Spirit of
God, that he may teach the word of wisdom;
10 And to another, that he may teach the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit;
11 And to another, exceedingly
great faith;
and to another, the
gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
12 And again, to another, that he may
work mighty miracles;
13 And again, to another, that he may prophesy concerning
all things;
14 And
again, to another, the beholding of angels and ministering spirits;
15 And again, to another, all kinds of tongues;
16 And again, to another, the interpretation of
languages and of divers kinds of tongues.
17 And all these gifts
come by the Spirit of Christ; and they come unto every man severally,
according as he will.
18 And I would exhort
you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of
Christ.
19 And I would exhort
you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that he is the same yesterday,
today, and forever, and that all these gifts of which I have spoken, which
are spiritual, never will be done away, even as long as the world shall
stand, only according to the unbelief of the children of men.
20 Wherefore, there
must be faith;
and if there must be faith there must also be hope; and if there must be hope there must also be charity.
21 And except ye have charity ye can in
nowise be saved in the kingdom of God; neither can ye be saved in the kingdom
of God if ye have not faith;
neither can ye if ye have no hope.
22 And if ye have no hope ye must needs be in
despair; and despair cometh because of iniquity.
23 And Christ truly
said unto our fathers: If ye have faith ye can do all things which are expedient unto me.
24 And now I speak unto
all the ends of the earth—that if the day cometh that the power and gifts of
God shall be done away among you, it shall be because of unbelief.
25 And wo be unto the
children of men if this be the case; for there shall be none that doeth good
among you, no not one. For if there be one among you that doeth good, he
shall work by the power and gifts of God.
26 And wo unto them who
shall do these things away and die, for they die in their sins, and
they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God; and I speak it according to the
words of Christ; and I lie not.
27 And I exhort you to
remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I
lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say
unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this
man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust?
28 I declare these
things unto the fulfilling of the prophecies. And behold, they shall proceed
forth out of the mouth of the everlasting God; and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation.
29 And God shall show
unto you, that that which I have written is true.
30 And again I would
exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good
gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing.
31 And awake, and arise from the dust, O
Jerusalem; yea, and put
on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders
forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants
of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be
fulfilled.
32 Yea, come unto
Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness;
and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your
might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you,
that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye
are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.
33 And
again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his
power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through
the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of
the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without
spot.
34 And now I bid unto
all, farewell. I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and
body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air,
to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge
of both quick and dead. Amen.
