1
Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
4 I
2
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
8 I
3
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
2 I
5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
4 I
7
Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
6 I
8
I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
27 I
10
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
13 I
11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
33 I
12
Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
10 I
13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Exodus 30
1
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
10 I
2
A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
10 I
3
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
10 I
4
And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
10 I
5
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
10 I
6
And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
10 I
7
And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
12 I
8
And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
12 I
9
Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10 I
10
And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.
12 I
11
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
12
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
10 I
13
This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the Lord.
10 I
14
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the Lord.
10 I
15
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.
10 I
16
And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.
12 I
17
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
18
Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
10 I
19
For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
10 I
20
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the Lord:
12 I
21
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
10 I
22
Moreover the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
23
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
10 I
24
And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
10 I
25
And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
10 I
26
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
10 I
27
And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
10 I
28
And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
10 I
29
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
10 I
30
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
10 I
31
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
10 I
32
Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
10 I
33
Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
10 I
34
And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
10 I
35
And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
10 I
36
And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
10 I
37
And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord.
10 I
38
Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
10 I
Exodus 31
1
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
2
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
10 I
3
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
10 I
4
To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
10 I
5
And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
10 I
6
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
10 I
7
The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
10 I
8
And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
10 I
9
And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 I
10
And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,
10 I
11
And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
10 I
12
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
13
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
24 I
14
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
12 I
15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
12 I
16
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
12 I
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
14 I
18
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
12 I
Nehemiah 11
1
And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
2
And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
2 I

18
All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
19
Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that kept the gates, were an hundred seventy and two.
20
And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
21
But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinims.
22
The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.

1 Corinthians 3
1
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
2 I
4
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
3 I
7
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
10 I
8
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
10 I
9
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
13 I
10
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
7 I
11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
10 I
12
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
8 I
13
Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
10 I
14
If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
5 I
15
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
5 I
16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
18 I
17
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
14 I
18
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
13 I
19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
5 I
20
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
7 I
21
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;
9 I
22
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;
