4And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:Log in to add notes

5Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;Log in to add notes

6Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.Log in to add notes

7But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:Log in to add notes

8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?Log in to add notes

9For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.Log in to add notes

10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.Log in to add notes

11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.Log in to add notes

22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.Log in to add notes

23But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.Log in to add notes

24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.Log in to add notes

25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.Log in to add notes

26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.Log in to add notes

27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.Log in to add notes

28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.Log in to add notes

29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.Log in to add notes

30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.Log in to add notes

31So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.Log in to add notes

29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,Log in to add notes

30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.Log in to add notes

31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.Log in to add notes

32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.Log in to add notes

33Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?Log in to add notes

34Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:Log in to add notes

35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.Log in to add notes

36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.Log in to add notes

37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!Log in to add notes

38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.Log in to add notes

39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.Log in to add notes

16No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.Log in to add notes

17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.Log in to add notes

18Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.Log in to add notes

19Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.Log in to add notes

20And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.Log in to add notes

21And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.Log in to add notes
