Epistle

Romans 3.28-4.3

Read in context

3:28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

3:29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

3:30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

3:31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

4:1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

4:2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

4:3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Epistle — Apostles

1 Corinthians 4.9-16

Read in context

9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

12And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

13Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

15For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Gospel

Matthew 7.24-8.4

Read in context

7:24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

7:25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

7:26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

7:27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

7:28And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

7:29For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

8:1When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

8:2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

8:3And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

8:4And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

13And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

14And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

16And Simon he surnamed Peter;

17And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

18And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

19And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
