13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?Log in to add notes

14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.Log in to add notes

15But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.Log in to add notes

16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!Log in to add notes

17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.Log in to add notes

18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.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

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

1The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.Log in to add notes

2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.Log in to add notes

3And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?Log in to add notes

5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.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
