EXO 4:10 And Moses said unto the Lord, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither

heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of

speech, and of a slow tongue.

EXO 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh

the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

EXO 4:12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what

thou shalt say.

2CH 15:1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

2CH 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and

all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye

seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

2CH 15:3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and

without a teaching priest, and without law.

2CH 15:4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel,

and sought him, he was found of them.

2CH 15:5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him

that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the

countries.

2CH 15:6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex

them with all adversity.

2CH 15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work

shall be rewarded.

2CH 15:8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet,

he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah

and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and

renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

2CH 15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them

out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of

Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

2CH 15:10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month,

in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

2CH 15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they

had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

2CH 15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their

fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

2CH 15:13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to

death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

2CH 15:14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting,

and with trumpets, and with cornets.

2CH 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their

heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the

LORD gave them rest round about.

2CH 16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said

unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the

LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine

hand.

2CH 16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many

chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered

them into thine hand.

2CH 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to

shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

2CH 16:10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for

he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the

people the same time.

2CH 18:7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by

whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good

unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat

said, Let not the king say so.

2CH 18:8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch

quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

2CH 18:9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of

them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the

entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

2CH 18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and

said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be

consumed.

2CH 18:11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead,

and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

2CH 18:12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying,

Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let

thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

2CH 18:13 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that

will I speak.

2CH 18:14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah,

shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye

up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

2CH 18:15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that

thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

2CH 18:16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as

sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them

return therefore every man to his house in peace.

2CH 18:17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that

he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

2CH 18:18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD

sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand

and on his left.

2CH 18:19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may

go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and

another saying after that manner.

2CH 18:20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I

will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

2CH 18:21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all

his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also

prevail: go out, and do even so.

2CH 18:22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth

of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

2CH 18:23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon

the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto

thee?

2CH 18:24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt

go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

2CH 18:25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to

Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

2CH 18:26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed

him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in

peace.

ECC 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

ECC 1:12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

JON 1:3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD,

and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the

fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the

presence of the LORD.

MAT 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

MAT 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand.

MAT 5:1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was

set, his disciples came unto him:

MAT 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of

heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,

and hast revealed them unto babes.

MAT 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

MAR 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of

repentance for the remission of sins.

MAR 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

MAR 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:

repent ye, and believe the gospel.

MAR 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no

room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the

word unto them.

MAR 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

LUK 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of

repentance for the remission of sins;

LUK 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat

down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

LUK 5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him

that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the

people out of the ship.

LUK 8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and

village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the

twelve were with him,

ACT 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said

unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known

unto you, and hearken to my words:

ACT 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third

hour of the day.

ACT 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

ACT 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out

of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

ACT 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days

of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

ACT 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth

beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

ACT 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before

the great and notable day of the Lord come:

ACT 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of

the Lord shall be saved.

ACT 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved

of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the

midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

ACT 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of

God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

ACT 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it

was not possible that he should be holden of it.

ACT 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my

face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

ACT 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also

my flesh shall rest in hope:

ACT 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer

thine Holy One to see corruption.

ACT 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full

of joy with thy countenance.

ACT 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David,

that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

ACT 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath

to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise

up Christ to sit on his throne;

ACT 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his

soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

ACT 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

ACT 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received

of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye

now see and hear.

ACT 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The

Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

ACT 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

ACT 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath

made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

ACT 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said

unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

ACT 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in

the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the

gift of the Holy Ghost.

ACT 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are

afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

ACT 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save

yourselves from this untoward generation.

ACT 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same

day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

ACT 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto

them.

ACT 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip

spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

ACT 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were

possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were

healed.

ACT 8:8 And there was great joy in that city.

ACT 8:9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same

city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself

was some great one:

ACT 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying,

This man is the great power of God.

ACT 8:11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched

them with sorceries.

ACT 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the

kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and

women.

ACT 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of

great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all

her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

ACT 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

ACT 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this

chariot.

ACT 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias,

and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

ACT 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he

desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

ACT 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a

sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he

not his mouth:

ACT 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare

his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

ACT 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom

speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

ACT 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and

preached unto him Jesus.

ACT 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the

eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

ACT 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.

And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

ACT 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both

into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

ACT 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the

Son of God.

ACT 13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel,

and ye that fear God, give audience.

ACT 13:17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the

people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm

brought he them out of it.

ACT 13:18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the

wilderness.

ACT 13:19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he

divided their land to them by lot.

ACT 13:20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four

hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

ACT 13:21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the

son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

ACT 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their

king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son

of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

ACT 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto

Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

ACT 13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of

repentance to all the people of Israel.

ACT 13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I

am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am

not worthy to loose.

ACT 13:26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever

among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

ACT 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew

him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day,

they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

ACT 13:28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they

Pilate that he should be slain.

ACT 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took

him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

ACT 13:30 But God raised him from the dead:

ACT 13:31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee

to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

ACT 13:32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was

made unto the fathers,

ACT 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath

raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my

Son, this day have I begotten thee.

ACT 13:34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to

return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of

David.

ACT 13:35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine

Holy One to see corruption.

ACT 13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God,

fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

ACT 13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

ACT 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this

man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

ACT 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which

ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

ACT 13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the

prophets;

ACT 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in

your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it

unto you.

ACT 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles

besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

ACT 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and

religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them,

persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

ACT 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that

the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from

you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the

Gentiles.

ACT 17:3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen

again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

1CO 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with

wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

1CO 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but

unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

1CO 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,

it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

1CO 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and

unto the Greeks foolishness;

1CO 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the

wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things

which are mighty;

1CO 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God

chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

1CO 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

1CO 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech

or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

1CO 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ,

and him crucified.

1CO 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

1CO 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's

wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

1CO 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power

of God.

1CO 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom

of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

1CO 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,

which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

1CO 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it,

they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1CO 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit

which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of

God.

1CO 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom

teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with

spiritual.

1CO 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye

may prophesy.

1CO 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but

unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh

mysteries.

1CO 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and

exhortation, and comfort.

1CO 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that

prophesieth edifieth the church.

1CO 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied:

for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he

interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

1CO 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I

profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge,

or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

1CO 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp,

except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is

piped or harped?

1CO 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself

to the battle?

1CO 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be

understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the

air.

1CO 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none

of them is without signification.

1CO 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him

that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

1CO 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that

ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1CO 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may

interpret.

1CO 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my

understanding is unfruitful.

1CO 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with

the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the

understanding also.

1CO 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that

occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he

understandeth not what thou sayest?

1CO 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

1CO 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

1CO 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my

understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand

words in an unknown tongue.

1CO 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye

children, but in understanding be men.

1CO 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one

unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

1CO 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling

down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

2CO 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ,

and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

2CO 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved,

and in them that perish:

2CO 2:16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the

savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

2CO 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:

2CO 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of

Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

COL 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved

away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to

every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

COL 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is

behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is

the church:

COL 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God

which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

COL 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations,

but now is made manifest to his saints:

COL 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this

mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

COL 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all

wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

COL 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which

worketh in me mightily.

1TH 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and

in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were

among you for your sake.

1TH 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in

guile:

1TH 2:4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even

so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

1TH 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a

cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

1TH 2:6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we

might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

1TH 2:7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

1TH 2:8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have

imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because

ye were dear unto us.

1TH 2:9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night

and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto

you the gospel of God.

1TH 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably

and glory.

thee. Amen.

2TI 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to

be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

ungodliness.

constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain

good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

TIT 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and

strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

2PE 2:5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a

preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.
