THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 3
And
unto the messenger of the congregation which is in Laodicia, write: This saith
(Amen) the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creatures of God. I
know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or
hot. So then because thou art between both, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spew thee out of my mouth: because thou sayst thou art rich and increased
with goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not how thou art: wretched and
miserable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in
the fire, that thou mayst be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayst be
clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye
salve, that thou mayst see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Be
fervent therefore and repent. Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man
hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and will sup with him,
and he with me. To him that overcometh, will I grant to sit with me in my seat,
even as I over came and have sitten with my father, in his seat. Let him that
hath ears, hear what the spirit saith unto the congregations
and the second was of a stolen valor ...
even like wearing someone else's uniform ...is seeking the "covering" of another person ...
and yet not knowing how or what that person went ...through ...
THE
SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 3
We begin to praise ourselves again. Need we as some other, of Epistles
of recommendation unto you? or letters of recommendation from you? Ye are our
epistle written in our hearts, which is understood and read of all men, in that
ye are known, how that ye are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us and
written, not with ink: but with the spirit of the living God, not in tables of
stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 7 Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is
the way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which go in thereat. But
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life: and few there
be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of briars? Even so every good
tree bringeth forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree, bringeth forth evil fruit. A
good tree cannot bring forth bad fruite: nor yet a bad tree can bring forth good
fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be hewn down, and
cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 24 And Jesus went out and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to
him, for to show him the building of the temple. Jesus said unto them: see ye
not all these things? Verily I say unto you: there shall not be here left one
stone upon another, that shall not be cast down.
Such trust have we through Christ to God
ward, not that we are sufficient of our selves to think anything as it were of
our selves but our ableness cometh of God, which hath made us able to minister
the new testament, not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter killeth,
but the spirit giveth life.
If ministration of death through the letters
figured in stones was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not behold
the face of Moses for the glory of countenance (which glory nevertheless is done
away) why shall not the ministration of the spirit be much more glorious? For if
the ministering of condemnation be glorious: much more doth the ministration of
righteousness exceed in glory. For no doubt that which was there glorified is
not once glorified in respect of this exceeding glory. Then if that which is
destroyed was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious.
Seeing then that we have such trust, we use
great boldness, and do not as Moses, which put a veil over his face that the
children of Israel should not see for what purpose that served which is put
away. But their minds were blinded. For until this day remaineth the same
covering untaken away in the old testament when they read it, which in Christ is
put away. But even unto this day when Moses is read, the veil hangeth before
their hearts. Nevertheless when they turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken
away. The Lord no doubt is a spirit. And where the spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty. But we all behold the glory of the Lord with his face open, and are
changed unto the same similitude, from glory to glory, even of the spirit of the
Lord
Not all they that say unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth my fathers will which
is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not in thy
name Prophesied? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name have done
many miracles? And then will I knowledge unto them that I never knew them.
Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.
And as he sat upon the mount Olivet, his
disciples came unto him secretly saying. Tell us when these things shall be: and
what sign shall be of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus
answered, and said unto them: take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall
come in my name saying: I am Christ: and shall deceive many. Ye shall hear of
wars, and of the fame of wars: but see that ye be not troubled. For all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against
nation, and realm against realm: and there shall be pestilence, hunger and
earthquakes in all quarters. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they put you to trouble, and
shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake. And then
shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one the
other. And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. And
because iniquity shall have the upper hand, the love of many shall abate. But
he that endureth to the end, the same shall be safe. And this glad tidings of
the kingdom: shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations:
and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination
that betokeneth desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy
place: let him that readeth it, understand it. Then let them which be in *Jury,
fly into the mountains. And let him which is on the house top, not come down to
fetch anything out of his house. Neither let him which is in the field, return
back to fetch his clothes. Woe shall be in those days to them that are with
child, and to them that give suck. But pray that your flight be not in the
winter, neither on the Sabbath day. For then shall be great tribulation, such as
was not from the beginning of the world to this time, nor shall be. Ye and
except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for
the chosens sake, those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you: lo, here
is Christ, or there is Christ: believe it not. For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall do great miracles and wonders. In so much
that if it were possible, the very elect should be deceived. Take heed, I
have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you: behold he is in the
desert, go not forth: behold he is in the secret places, believe not. For as the
lightning cometh out of the East and shineth unto the west: so shall the coming
of the son of man be. For wheresoever a dead carcass is, even thither will the
eagles resort. Immediately after the tribulations of those days, shall the sun
be darkened: and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall move. And then shall appear the sign
of the son of man in heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory. And he shall send his Angels with the great voice of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his chosen, from the four winds, and from the one end
of the world to the other.
Learn a similitude of the fig tree: when his
branches are yet tender and his leaves sprung, ye know that summer is nigh. So
likewise ye, when ye see all these things, be ye sure that it is near, even at
the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass till all
these be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall perish, but my words shall abide. But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven, but my father
only.
As the time of Noe was, so likewise shall
the coming of the son of man be. For as in the days before the flood: they did
eat and drink, marry, and were married, even unto the day that Noe entered in to
the ship, and knew of nothing, till the flood came and took them all away: So
shall also the coming of the son of man be. Then two shall be in the fields,
the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused, two shall be grinding
at the mill the one shall be received, and the other shall be refused. Wake
therefore, because ye know not what hour your master will come. Of this be sure,
that if the good man of the house knew what hour the thief would come: he would
surely watch, and not suffer his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also
ready, for in the hour ye think he would not: will the son of man come. If there
be any faithful servant and wise, whom his master hath made ruler over his
household to give them meat in season convenient, happy is that servant whom his
master (when he cometh) shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, he shall
make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, my master will defer his coming, and begin to smite his fellows, ye and
to eat and to drink with the drunken: that servants master will come in a day
when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not ware of, and will
divide him, and give him his reward with hypocrites. There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth
*Jury (Jewry) : exact spelling was Jury
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MARK Chpt 13
And then, if any man say to you: lo, here is Christ: lo, he is there, believe
not. For false Christs shall arise, and false prophets, and shall show
miracles and wonders, to deceive if it were possible, even the elect. But take
ye heed: behold I have showed you all things before.
Moreover in those days, after that
tribulation, the sun shall wax dark, and the moon shall not give her light, and
the stars of heaven shall fall: and the powers which are in heaven, shall move.
And then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds, with great power
and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his
elect from the four winds, and from the one end of the world to the other.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 6
But woe be to you that are rich: for ye have therein your consolation.
Woe be to you that are full: for ye shall hunger. Woe be to you that now
laugh: for ye shall wail and weep. Woe be to you when all men praise you: for so
did their fathers to the false prophets.
But I say unto you which hear: Love your
enemies. Do good to them which hate you. Bless them that curse you. And pray for
them which wrongfully trouble you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one
cheek, offer also the other. And him that taketh away thy gown, forbid not to
take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee. And of him that
taketh away thy goods, ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to
you: so do ye to them likewise.
If ye love them which love you: what thank
are ye worthy of? For the very sinners love their lovers. And if ye do for them
which do for you: what thank are ye worthy of? For the very sinners do even the
same. If ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive: what thank shall ye have:
For the very sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. Wherefore, love
ye your enemies, do good and lend, looking for nothing again: and your reward
shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the highest: for he is kind unto
the unkind and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your father is
merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. Condemn not: and ye shall not
be condemned. Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given
unto you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall
men give into your bosoms. For with what measure ye mete, with the same shall
men mete to you again.
And he put forth a similitude unto them: Can the blind lead the blind? Do
they not both then fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master.
Every man shall be perfect, even as his master is. Why seest thou a mote in thy
brothers eye, and considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how
canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in
thine eye: when thou perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Hypocrite, cast out the beam out of thine own eye first, and then shalt thou see
perfectly, to pull out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
It is not a good tree that bringeth forth
evil fruit: neither is that an evil tree, that bringeth forth good fruit. For
every tree is known by his fruit. Neither of thorns gather men figs, nor of
bushes gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart,
bringeth forth that which is good. And an evil man out of the evil treasure of
his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil. For of the abundance of the heart,
his mouth speaketh.
Why call ye me Master, Master: and do not as
I bid you? whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doth the same, I
will show you to whom he is like. He is like a man which built an house: and
digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock. When the waters arose, the flood
beat upon that house, and could not move it. For it was grounded upon a rock.
But he that heareth and doth not, is like a man that without foundation built an
house upon the earth, against which the flood did beat: and it fell by and by.
And the fall of that house was great.
and the third was of
family reunions ...
and i was shown a man
and the man wandered among others at a "family reunion" that he was
"related" to ... Yet was not ... and they all accepted him as
..."part" of the family ... Yet he was not ... and scripture came
back to remembrance ... THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 12
While he yet talked to the people: behold his mother and his brethren stood
without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him: behold thy
mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 8
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him
for press. And they told him saying: Thy mother and thy brethren stand
without, and would see thee. He answered and said unto them: my mother and my
brethren are these which hear the word of God and do it.
THE
GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 13
When the goodman of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, ye
shall begin to stand without, and to knock at the door saying: Lord, Lord, open
unto us: and he shall answer and say unto you: I know you not whence ye are.
Then shall ye begin to say: We have eaten in thy presence and drunk, and thou
hast taught in our streets. And he shall say: I tell you, I know you not whence
ye are: depart from me all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the
Prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out at doors. And they
shall come from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the
south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And behold, there are last,
which shall be first: And there are first which shall be last.
and the
He answered and said to him that told him:
Who is my mother? or who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand over
his disciples and said: behold my mother and my brethren. For whosoever doth
my fathers will which is in heaven, the same is my brother, sister and mother
and i was taken and shown a man ...
and the man begged for the affection of a woman ...
even asking her permission to have a kiss ...
and waiting for her to "think" about it ...
and when the kiss was allowed ...it was cold.
For a father mourned for his son that was taken away from him, he made
an image ( in all the hast ) of his dead son: and so began to worship him as
God, which was but a dead man, and *ordained his servants to offer unto him.
Thus by process of time and through long custom, this error was kept as a law,
and tyrants compelled men by violence to honor images. As for those that were so
far off, that men might not worship them presently, their picture was brought
from far, like the image of a King whom they would honor, to the intent that
with great diligence they might worship him which was far off, as though he had
been present. Again, the singular conning of the craftsman gave the ignorant
also a great occasion to worship images. For the workman willing to do him a
pleasure that set him a work, labored with all his conning to make the image of
the best fashion. And so ( through the beauty of the work ) the common people
was deceived, in so much that they took him now for a God, which alittle afore
was honored as a man. And this was the error of mans life, when men ( either
for to serve their own affection, or to do some pleasure unto Kings )
ascribed unto stones and stocks the name of God, which ought to be given unto no
man. If ye be then risen again with Christ seek those things which are
above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on
things that are above, and not on things which are on the earth. For ye are
dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ which is our life,
shall show himself, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Moreover, this was not enough for them that
they erred in the knowledge of God: but where as they lived in the great wars of
ignorance, those many and great plagues called they peace. For either they slew
their own children, and offered them, or did sacrifice in the night season, or
else held unreasonable watches: so that they kept neither life ner marriage
clean: but either one slew another to death maliciously or else grieved his
neighbor with *advoutry. And thus were all things mixed together: blood
manslaughter, theft, dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, sedition,
perjury, disquietness of good men, unthankfulness, defiling of souls, changing
of birth, unsteadfastness of marriage, misorder of *advoutry and uncleanness.
And why? the honoring of abominable images is the cause, the beginning and end
of all evil. For they worship Idols, either they are mad when they be merry, or
prophesy lies, or live ungodly, or else lightly foreswear themselves. For in so
much as their trust is in the Idols ( which have neither souls ner understanding
) though they swear falsely, yet they think it shall not hurt them.
Therefore cometh a great plague upon them,
and that worthily: for they have an evil opinion of God, giving heed unto Idols,
swearing unjustly to deceive, and despising righteousness. For their swearing is
no virtue, but a plague of them that sin, and goeth ever with the offense of the
ungodly
Mortify therefore your members which are on
the earth, fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil *concupiscence, and
covetousness which is worshipping of idols: for which things sakes the wrath of
God cometh on the children of unbelief. In which things ye walked once, when ye
lived in them.
But now put ye also away from you all
things: wrath, fierceness, maliciousness, cursed speaking, filthy speaking out
of your mouths. Lie not one to another that the old man with his works be put
off, and the new put on, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him
that made him, where is neither Gentile nor Jewe, circumcision nor
uncircumcision, Barbarous or Scythian, bond or free: but Christ is all in all
things.
Now therefore as elect of God, holy and
beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of minds, meekness, long
suffering, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a
quarrel to another: even as Christ forgave you, even so do ye. Above all these
things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And the peace of God rule
in your hearts, to the which peace ye are called in one body. And see that ye be
thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach
and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs which have
favour with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord. And all things (whatsoever
ye do in word or deed) do in the name of the Lord Jesu, giving thanks to God the
father by him.
Wives, submit your own selves unto your own
husbands, as it is comely in the Lord. Husbands love your wives and be not
bitter unto them. Children obey your fathers and mothers in all things, for that
is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers rate not your children, lest they be of
a desperate mind. Servants be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things:
not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as though ye did it to the Lord, and not
unto men, for as much as ye know that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of
inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doth wrong shall receive
for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons with God. Ye
masters do unto your servants that which is just and equal, seeing ye know that
ye also have a master in heaven
