dourh@Romans:1:1 @ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

dourh@Romans:1:4 @ Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;

dourh@Romans:1:5 @ By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;

dourh@Romans:1:7 @ To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;

dourh@Romans:1:10 @ Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.

dourh@Romans:1:11 @ For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:

dourh@Romans:1:12 @ That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.

dourh@Romans:1:13 @ And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

dourh@Romans:1:15 @ So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.

dourh@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

dourh@Romans:1:18 @ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:

dourh@Romans:1:19 @ Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.

dourh@Romans:1:20 @ For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.

dourh@Romans:1:21 @ Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.

dourh@Romans:1:25 @ Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

dourh@Romans:1:26 @ For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.

dourh@Romans:1:27 @ And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.

dourh@Romans:1:28 @ And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;

dourh@Romans:1:29 @ Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,

dourh@Romans:1:30 @ Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

dourh@Romans:1:32 @ Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.

dourh@Romans:2:1 @ Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.

dourh@Romans:2:2 @ For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.

dourh@Romans:2:3 @ And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

dourh@Romans:2:4 @ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?

dourh@Romans:2:5 @ But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the just judgment of God.

dourh@Romans:2:7 @ To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life:

dourh@Romans:2:8 @ But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.

dourh@Romans:2:9 @ Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

dourh@Romans:2:10 @ But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

dourh@Romans:2:14 @ For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves:

dourh@Romans:2:19 @ Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

dourh@Romans:2:21 @ Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:

dourh@Romans:2:22 @ Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:

dourh@Romans:2:23 @ Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.

dourh@Romans:2:27 @ And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

dourh@Romans:2:28 @ For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:

dourh@Romans:2:29 @ But he is a Jew, that is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

dourh@Romans:3:1 @ What advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

dourh@Romans:3:3 @ For what if some of them have not believed? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.

dourh@Romans:3:4 @ But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.

dourh@Romans:3:5 @ But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?

dourh@Romans:3:7 @ For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?

dourh@Romans:3:8 @ And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just.

dourh@Romans:3:9 @ What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews, and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

dourh@Romans:3:11 @ There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

dourh@Romans:3:12 @ All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.

dourh@Romans:3:13 @ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.

dourh@Romans:3:19 @ Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.

dourh@Romans:3:22 @ Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:

dourh@Romans:3:24 @ Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,

dourh@Romans:3:25 @ Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,

dourh@Romans:3:26 @ Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.

dourh@Romans:3:27 @ Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

dourh@Romans:3:30 @ For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

dourh@Romans:4:1 @ What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.

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

dourh@Romans:4:3 @ For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

dourh@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.

dourh@Romans:4:5 @ But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.

dourh@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.

dourh@Romans:4:9 @ This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.

dourh@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:

dourh@Romans:4:12 @ And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

dourh@Romans:4:13 @ For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.

dourh@Romans:4:15 @ For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

dourh@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

dourh@Romans:4:17 @ (As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations,) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.

dourh@Romans:4:18 @ Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.

dourh@Romans:4:21 @ Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.

dourh@Romans:4:23 @ Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,

dourh@Romans:4:24 @ But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,

dourh@Romans:4:25 @ Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.

dourh@Romans:5:3 @ And not only so; but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

dourh@Romans:5:4 @ And patience trial; and trial hope;

dourh@Romans:5:9 @ Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

dourh@Romans:5:10 @ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

dourh@Romans:5:11 @ And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

dourh@Romans:5:12 @ Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned.

dourh@Romans:5:14 @ But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over them also who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a figure of him who was to come.

dourh@Romans:5:15 @ But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died; much more the grace of God, and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

dourh@Romans:5:16 @ And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation; but grace is of many offences, unto justification.

dourh@Romans:5:17 @ For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace, and of the gift, and of justice, shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ.

dourh@Romans:5:18 @ Therefore, as by the offence of one, unto all men to condemnation; so also by the justice of one, unto all men to justification of life.

dourh@Romans:5:20 @ Now the law entered in, that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound.

dourh@Romans:5:21 @ That as sin hath reigned to death; so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

dourh@Romans:6:1 @ What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

dourh@Romans:6:2 @ God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?

dourh@Romans:6:3 @ Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?

dourh@Romans:6:4 @ For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.

dourh@Romans:6:5 @ For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

dourh@Romans:6:6 @ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.

dourh@Romans:6:7 @ For he that is dead is justified from sin.

dourh@Romans:6:8 @ Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:

dourh@Romans:6:9 @ Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.

dourh@Romans:6:10 @ For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:

dourh@Romans:6:11 @ So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

dourh@Romans:6:13 @ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.

dourh@Romans:6:15 @ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

dourh@Romans:6:16 @ Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.

dourh@Romans:6:17 @ But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.

dourh@Romans:6:19 @ I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.

dourh@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.

dourh@Romans:6:22 @ But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.

dourh@Romans:6:23 @ For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

dourh@Romans:7:1 @ Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?

dourh@Romans:7:2 @ For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

dourh@Romans:7:3 @ Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband; so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with another man.

dourh@Romans:7:4 @ Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ; that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.

dourh@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

dourh@Romans:7:6 @ But now we are loosed from the law of death, wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

dourh@Romans:7:7 @ What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.

dourh@Romans:7:10 @ And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.

dourh@Romans:7:13 @ Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.

dourh@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

dourh@Romans:7:15 @ For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.

dourh@Romans:7:16 @ If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.

dourh@Romans:7:17 @ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

dourh@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.

dourh@Romans:7:19 @ For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.

dourh@Romans:7:20 @ Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

dourh@Romans:7:21 @ I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.

dourh@Romans:7:23 @ But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.

dourh@Romans:7:24 @ Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

dourh@Romans:8:1 @ There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.

dourh@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.

dourh@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;

dourh@Romans:8:4 @ That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

dourh@Romans:8:5 @ For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.

dourh@Romans:8:6 @ For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.

dourh@Romans:8:9 @ But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

dourh@Romans:8:10 @ And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.

dourh@Romans:8:11 @ And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

dourh@Romans:8:15 @ For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).

dourh@Romans:8:16 @ For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.

dourh@Romans:8:17 @ And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

dourh@Romans:8:18 @ For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.

dourh@Romans:8:19 @ For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.

dourh@Romans:8:20 @ For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:

dourh@Romans:8:21 @ Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

dourh@Romans:8:22 @ For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.

dourh@Romans:8:24 @ For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?

dourh@Romans:8:25 @ But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

dourh@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.

dourh@Romans:8:27 @ And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.

dourh@Romans:8:28 @ And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

dourh@Romans:8:29 @ For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.

dourh@Romans:8:30 @ And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.

dourh@Romans:8:31 @ What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?

dourh@Romans:8:32 @ He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?

dourh@Romans:8:33 @ Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.

dourh@Romans:8:34 @ Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

dourh@Romans:8:35 @ Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?

dourh@Romans:8:36 @ (As it is written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)

dourh@Romans:8:37 @ But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.

dourh@Romans:8:38 @ For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,

dourh@Romans:8:39 @ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

dourh@Romans:9:1 @ And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.

dourh@Romans:9:11 @ For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,)

dourh@Romans:9:12 @ Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.

dourh@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.

dourh@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.

dourh@Romans:9:16 @ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

dourh@Romans:9:17 @ For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

dourh@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.

dourh@Romans:9:20 @ O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?

dourh@Romans:9:21 @ Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

dourh@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,

dourh@Romans:9:23 @ That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?

dourh@Romans:9:24 @ Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.

dourh@Romans:9:25 @ As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.

dourh@Romans:9:30 @ What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.

dourh@Romans:9:32 @ Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.

dourh@Romans:10:1 @ Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.

dourh@Romans:10:2 @ For I bear them witness, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

dourh@Romans:10:4 @ For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to every one that believeth.

dourh@Romans:10:5 @ For Moses wrote, that the justice which is of the law, the man that shall do it, shall live by it.

dourh@Romans:10:6 @ But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

dourh@Romans:10:7 @ Or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

dourh@Romans:10:8 @ But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

dourh@Romans:10:9 @ For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

dourh@Romans:10:10 @ For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

dourh@Romans:10:12 @ For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

dourh@Romans:10:15 @ And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

dourh@Romans:10:16 @ But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

dourh@Romans:10:18 @ But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

dourh@Romans:10:19 @ But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

dourh@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me: I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

dourh@Romans:10:21 @ But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not, and contradicteth me.

dourh@Romans:11:1 @ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.

dourh@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.

dourh@Romans:11:14 @ If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

dourh@Romans:11:15 @ For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

dourh@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,

dourh@Romans:11:19 @ Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

dourh@Romans:11:21 @ For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.

dourh@Romans:11:22 @ See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

dourh@Romans:11:24 @ For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

dourh@Romans:11:25 @ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.

dourh@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

dourh@Romans:11:28 @ As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.

dourh@Romans:11:31 @ So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.

dourh@Romans:11:32 @ For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.

dourh@Romans:11:34 @ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?

dourh@Romans:11:35 @ Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?

dourh@Romans:12:1 @ I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service.

dourh@Romans:12:2 @ And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God.

dourh@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.

dourh@Romans:12:6 @ And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith;

dourh@Romans:12:7 @ Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine;

dourh@Romans:12:8 @ He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

dourh@Romans:12:9 @ Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good.

dourh@Romans:12:12 @ Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer.

dourh@Romans:12:13 @ Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality.

dourh@Romans:12:14 @ Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not.

dourh@Romans:12:15 @ Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

dourh@Romans:12:19 @ Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.

dourh@Romans:12:20 @ But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

dourh@Romans:13:1 @ Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.

dourh@Romans:13:2 @ Therefore he that resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, purchase to themselves damnation.

dourh@Romans:13:3 @ For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same.

dourh@Romans:13:4 @ For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.

dourh@Romans:13:5 @ Wherefore be subject of necessity, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

dourh@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour, hath fulfilled the law.

dourh@Romans:13:11 @ And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

dourh@Romans:13:12 @ The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.

dourh@Romans:14:1 @ Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.

dourh@Romans:14:2 @ For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.

dourh@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.

dourh@Romans:14:4 @ Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.

dourh@Romans:14:6 @ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

dourh@Romans:14:9 @ For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

dourh@Romans:14:10 @ But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

dourh@Romans:14:13 @ Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother's way.

dourh@Romans:14:14 @ I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

dourh@Romans:14:15 @ For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

dourh@Romans:14:17 @ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

dourh@Romans:14:18 @ For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.

dourh@Romans:14:19 @ Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.

dourh@Romans:14:20 @ Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

dourh@Romans:14:21 @ It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.

dourh@Romans:14:22 @ Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

dourh@Romans:14:23 @ But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.

dourh@Romans:15:1 @ Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

dourh@Romans:15:2 @ Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification.

dourh@Romans:15:3 @ For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.

dourh@Romans:15:4 @ For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope.

dourh@Romans:15:5 @ Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ:

dourh@Romans:15:6 @ That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@Romans:15:7 @ Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.

dourh@Romans:15:8 @ For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

dourh@Romans:15:9 @ But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

dourh@Romans:15:12 @ And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.

dourh@Romans:15:13 @ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost.

dourh@Romans:15:14 @ And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

dourh@Romans:15:16 @ That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.

dourh@Romans:15:19 @ By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ.

dourh@Romans:15:20 @ And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.

dourh@Romans:15:21 @ But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand.

dourh@Romans:15:23 @ But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you,

dourh@Romans:15:24 @ When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you:

dourh@Romans:15:26 @ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem.

dourh@Romans:15:27 @ For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them.

dourh@Romans:15:29 @ And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

dourh@Romans:15:30 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,

dourh@Romans:15:31 @ That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints.

dourh@Romans:15:32 @ That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.

dourh@Romans:16:1 @ And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae:

dourh@Romans:16:2 @ That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints; and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also.

dourh@Romans:16:6 @ Salute Mary, who hath laboured much among you.

dourh@Romans:16:8 @ Salute Ampliatus, most beloved to me in the Lord.

dourh@Romans:16:11 @ Salute them that are of Aristobulus' household. Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus' household, who are in the Lord.

dourh@Romans:16:12 @ Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the dearly beloved, who hath much laboured in the Lord.

dourh@Romans:16:14 @ Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren that are with them.

dourh@Romans:16:15 @ Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias; and all the saints that are with them.

dourh@Romans:16:18 @ For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.

dourh@Romans:16:20 @ And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

dourh@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow labourer, saluteth you, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

dourh@Romans:16:25 @ Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret from eternity,

dourh@Romans:16:26 @ (Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith,) known among all nations;

dourh@1Corinthians:1:2 @ To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in every place of theirs and ours.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:3 @ Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus,

dourh@1Corinthians:1:5 @ That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

dourh@1Corinthians:1:7 @ So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:10 @ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:12 @ Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:14 @ I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius;

dourh@1Corinthians:1:15 @ Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:18 @ For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

dourh@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:24 @ But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:26 @ For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:

dourh@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:28 @ And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:

dourh@1Corinthians:1:29 @ That no flesh should glory in his sight.

dourh@1Corinthians:1:30 @ But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:

dourh@1Corinthians:1:31 @ That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:5 @ That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:6 @ Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought;

dourh@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But to us God hath revealed them, by this Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:11 @ For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:12 @ Now we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God; that we may know the things that are given us from God.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:14 @ But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.

dourh@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that we may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:2 @ I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:4 @ For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?

dourh@1Corinthians:3:5 @ The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:7 @ Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:8 @ Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:11 @ For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:12 @ Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:

dourh@1Corinthians:3:13 @ Every man's work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:16 @ Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

dourh@1Corinthians:3:17 @ But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:18 @ Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:19 @ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:20 @ And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

dourh@1Corinthians:3:22 @ For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to some; for all are yours;

dourh@1Corinthians:4:2 @ Here now it is required among the dispensers, that a man be found faithful.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:4 @ For I am not conscious to myself of any thing, yet am I not hereby justified; but he that judgeth me, is the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:6 @ But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

dourh@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:13 @ We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:15 @ For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:19 @ But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power.

dourh@1Corinthians:4:21 @ What will you? shall I come to you with a rod; or in charity, and in the spirit of meekness?

dourh@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is absolutely heard, that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens; that one should have his father's wife.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up; and have not rather mourned, that he might be taken away from among you, that hath done this deed.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:3 @ I indeed, absent in body, but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done,

dourh@1Corinthians:5:4 @ In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus;

dourh@1Corinthians:5:5 @ To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:6 @ Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump?

dourh@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:9 @ I wrote to you in an epistle, not to keep company with fornicators.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:10 @ I mean not with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or the extortioners, or the servers of idols; otherwise you must needs go out of this world.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:11 @ But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a server of idols, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat.

dourh@1Corinthians:5:12 @ For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within?

dourh@1Corinthians:5:13 @ For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:1 @ Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints?

dourh@1Corinthians:6:2 @ Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

dourh@1Corinthians:6:3 @ Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world?

dourh@1Corinthians:6:5 @ I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren?

dourh@1Corinthians:6:6 @ But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:7 @ Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

dourh@1Corinthians:6:8 @ But you do wrong and defraud, and that to your brethren.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:9 @ Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,

dourh@1Corinthians:6:10 @ Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:13 @ Meat for the belly, and the belly for the meats; but God shall destroy both it and them: but the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:14 @ Now God hath both raised up the Lord, and will raise us up also by his power.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:15 @ Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:16 @ Or know you not, that he who is joined to a harlot, is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:18 @ Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body.

dourh@1Corinthians:6:19 @ Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own?

dourh@1Corinthians:6:20 @ For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:2 @ But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:4 @ The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer; and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:7 @ For I would that all men were even as myself: but every one hath his proper gift from God; one after this manner, and another after that.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:10 @ But to them that are married, not I but the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not from her husband.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:11 @ And if she depart, that she remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:12 @ For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she consent to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not, and he consent to dwell with her, let her not put away her husband.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one, so let him walk: and so in all churches I teach.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:21 @ Wast thou called, being a bondman? care not for it; but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:22 @ For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity, that it is good for a man so to be.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:29 @ This therefore I say, brethren; the time is short; it remaineth, that they also who have wives, be as if they had none;

dourh@1Corinthians:7:30 @ And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

dourh@1Corinthians:7:31 @ And they that use this world, as if they used it not: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife, is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:34 @ And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I speak for your profit: not to cast a snare upon you; but for that which is decent, and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured, with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will; he sinneth not, if she marry.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:37 @ For he that hath determined being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will; and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:38 @ Therefore, both he that giveth his virgin in marriage, doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband die, she is at liberty: let her marry to whom she will; only in the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel; and I think that I also have the spirit of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:1 @ Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up; but charity edifieth.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:2 @ And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:4 @ But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many, and lords many);

dourh@1Corinthians:8:6 @ Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:7 @ But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol: eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:8 @ But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more; nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less.

dourh@1Corinthians:8:10 @ For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols?

dourh@1Corinthians:8:11 @ And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died?

dourh@1Corinthians:8:13 @ Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:3 @ My defence with them that do examine me is this.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:4 @ Have not we power to eat and to drink?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:7 @ Who serveth as a soldier at any time, at his own charges? Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:9 @ For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:10 @ Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:11 @ If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:12 @ If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather? Nevertheless, we have not used this power: but we bear all things, lest we should give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:13 @ Know you not, that they who work in the holy place, eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar, partake with the altar?

dourh@1Corinthians:9:14 @ So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel, should live by the gospel.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die, rather than that any man should make my glory void.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:17 @ For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me:

dourh@1Corinthians:9:18 @ What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:19 @ For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:20 @ And I became to the Jews, a Jew, that I might gain the Jews:

dourh@1Corinthians:9:21 @ To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:22 @ To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:23 @ And I do all things for the gospel's sake: that I may be made partaker thereof.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:24 @ Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:25 @ And every one that striveth for the mastery, refraineth himself from all things: and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one.

dourh@1Corinthians:9:26 @ I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air:

dourh@1Corinthians:10:1 @ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:3 @ And did all eat the same spiritual food,

dourh@1Corinthians:10:4 @ And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)

dourh@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:7 @ Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:12 @ Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:13 @ Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:17 @ For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:18 @ Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?

dourh@1Corinthians:10:19 @ What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?

dourh@1Corinthians:10:20 @ But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:24 @ Let no man seek his own, but that which is another's.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience' sake.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience' sake.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:30 @ If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?

dourh@1Corinthians:10:31 @ Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.

dourh@1Corinthians:10:33 @ As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:3 @ But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:9 @ For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him?

dourh@1Corinthians:11:17 @ Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:19 @ For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:20 @ When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:21 @ For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:22 @ What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:24 @ And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:27 @ Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:28 @ But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:29 @ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:33 @ Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

dourh@1Corinthians:11:34 @ If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:2 @ You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:3 @ Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:6 @ And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:7 @ And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:10 @ To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:22 @ Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:23 @ And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:24 @ But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,

dourh@1Corinthians:12:25 @ That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.

dourh@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that miracles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches.

dourh@1Corinthians:13:2 @ And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

dourh@1Corinthians:13:4 @ Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up;

dourh@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

dourh@1Corinthians:13:13 @ And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:1 @ Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:2 @ For he that speaketh in a tongue, speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:3 @ But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:4 @ He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:5 @ And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:6 @ But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?

dourh@1Corinthians:14:7 @ Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

dourh@1Corinthians:14:8 @ For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

dourh@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:11 @ If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:13 @ And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:15 @ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:16 @ Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:19 @ But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:23 @ If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?

dourh@1Corinthians:14:24 @ But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:25 @ The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:26 @ How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:27 @ If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:31 @ For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:

dourh@1Corinthians:14:35 @ But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.

dourh@1Corinthians:14:37 @ If any seem to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:2 @ By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:3 @ For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:

dourh@1Corinthians:15:4 @ And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:

dourh@1Corinthians:15:5 @ And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:6 @ Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:7 @ After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?

dourh@1Corinthians:15:15 @ Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ; whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:

dourh@1Corinthians:15:21 @ For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:23 @ But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:24 @ Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:26 @ And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,

dourh@1Corinthians:15:28 @ And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:29 @ Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?

dourh@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:33 @ Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:35 @ But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?

dourh@1Corinthians:15:36 @ Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:37 @ And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:44 @ It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:

dourh@1Corinthians:15:46 @ Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:48 @ Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:50 @ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:52 @ In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:54 @ And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:55 @ O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?

dourh@1Corinthians:15:56 @ Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:57 @ But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him; that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:4 @ And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:6 @ And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:7 @ For I will not see you now by the way, for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:8 @ But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:9 @ For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:10 @ Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:11 @ Let no man therefore despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the breatheren.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:12 @ And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand, that I much entreated him to come unto you with the breatheren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,do manfully, and be strengthened.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:15 @ And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:

dourh@1Corinthians:16:16 @ That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:17 @ And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:18 @ For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:21 @ The salutation of me Paul, with my own hand.

dourh@1Corinthians:16:22 @ If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:

dourh@2Corinthians:1:2 @ Grace unto you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:4 @ Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:6 @ Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation: or whether we be exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which worketh the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:7 @ That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we would not have you ignorant,brethren, of our tribulation, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:9 @ But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:10 @ Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:11 @ You helping withal in prayer for us: that for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our glory is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:13 @ For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end:

dourh@2Corinthians:1:14 @ As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory, as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:15 @ And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:

dourh@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not?

dourh@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ, and that hath anointed us, is God:

dourh@2Corinthians:1:22 @ Who also hath sealed us, and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

dourh@2Corinthians:1:23 @ But I call God to witness upon my soul, that to spare you, I came not any more to Corinth: not because we exercise dominion over your faith: but we are helpers of your joy: for in faith you stand.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:2 @ For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me?

dourh@2Corinthians:2:3 @ And I wrote this same to you; that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow, from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:4 @ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:5 @ And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me; but in part, that I may not burden you all.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:7 @ So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:8 @ Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:9 @ For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:10 @ And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:11 @ That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:15 @ For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish.

dourh@2Corinthians:2:16 @ To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?

dourh@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God; but with sincerity, but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need (as some do) epistles of commendation to you, or from you?

dourh@2Corinthians:3:3 @ Being manifested, that you 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 the fleshly tables of the heart.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:6 @ Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:7 @ Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious; so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void:

dourh@2Corinthians:3:8 @ How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory?

dourh@2Corinthians:3:9 @ For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory.

dourh@2Corinthians:3:13 @ And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, seeing we have this ministration, according as we have obtained mercy, we faint not;

dourh@2Corinthians:4:2 @ But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:3 @ And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost,

dourh@2Corinthians:4:4 @ In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:8 @ In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute;

dourh@2Corinthians:4:10 @ Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:11 @ For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake; that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:12 @ So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:14 @ Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:15 @ For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:17 @ For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation, worketh for us above measure exceedingly an eternal weight of glory.

dourh@2Corinthians:4:18 @ While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:1 @ For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:2 @ For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:3 @ Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:4 @ For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:6 @ Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:8 @ But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:11 @ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:12 @ We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf; that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:14 @ For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:15 @ And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:17 @ If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:18 @ But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:19 @ For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.

dourh@2Corinthians:5:21 @ Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.

dourh@2Corinthians:6:1 @ And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain.

dourh@2Corinthians:6:2 @ For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

dourh@2Corinthians:6:3 @ Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed:

dourh@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in tribulation, in necessities, in distresses,

dourh@2Corinthians:6:5 @ In stripes, in prisons, in seditions, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

dourh@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?

dourh@2Corinthians:6:15 @ And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?

dourh@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God saith: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

dourh@2Corinthians:6:17 @ Wherefore, Go out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing:

dourh@2Corinthians:6:18 @ And I will receive you; and I will be a Father to you; and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:1 @ Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sactification in the fear of God.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:3 @ I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before, that you are in our hearts, to die together, and to live together.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my confidence for you, great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:5 @ For also when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we suffered all tribulation; combats without, fears within.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:7 @ And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation, wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced the more.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:8 @ For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;

dourh@2Corinthians:7:9 @ Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:10 @ For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:11 @ For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you; yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge: in all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:12 @ Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it; but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you

dourh@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Before God: therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation, we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:14 @ And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame; but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.

dourh@2Corinthians:7:16 @ I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:1 @ Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:2 @ That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy; and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:4 @ With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:6 @ Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:7 @ That as in all things you abound in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all carefulness; moreover also in your charity towards us, so in this grace also you may abound.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor, for your sakes; that through his poverty you might be rich.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:11 @ Now therefore perform ye it also in deed; that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath, not according to that which he hath not.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I mean not that others should be eased, and you burthened, but by an equality.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:14 @ In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want, that there may be an equality,

dourh@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written: He that had much, had nothing over; and he that had little, had no want.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:16 @ And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:17 @ For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more careful, of his own will he went unto you.

dourh@2Corinthians:8:19 @ And not that only, but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord, and our determined will:

dourh@2Corinthians:8:21 @ For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:1 @ For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:2 @ For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians. That Achaia also is ready from the year past, and your emulation hath provoked very many.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you, be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready:

dourh@2Corinthians:9:4 @ Lest, when the Macedonians shall come with me, and find you unprepared, we (not to say ye) should be ashamed in this matter.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before, and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:7 @ Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:8 @ And God is able to make all grace abound in you; that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work,

dourh@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:10 @ And he that ministereth seed to the sower, will both give you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice:

dourh@2Corinthians:9:11 @ That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

dourh@2Corinthians:9:12 @ Because the administration of this office doth not only supply the want of the saints, but aboundeth also by many thanksgivings in the Lord,

dourh@2Corinthians:9:13 @ By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them, and unto all.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:2 @ But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some, who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:4 @ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels,

dourh@2Corinthians:10:5 @ And every height that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ;

dourh@2Corinthians:10:7 @ See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ's, let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ's, so are we also.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:9 @ But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles,

dourh@2Corinthians:10:11 @ Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles, when absent, such also we will be indeed when present.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we dare not match, or compare ourselves with some, that commend themselves; but we measure ourselves by ourselves, and compare ourselves with ourselves.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:13 @ But we will not glory beyond our measure; but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:16 @ Yea, unto those places that are beyond you, to preach the gospel, not to glory in another man's rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.

dourh@2Corinthians:10:17 @ But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted, and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:4 @ For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel which you have not received; you might well bear with him.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:5 @ For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:7 @ Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself, that you might be exalted? Because I preached unto you the gospel of God freely?

dourh@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia; and in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:10 @ The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion, that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:14 @ And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:15 @ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, (let no man think me to be foolish, otherwise take me as one foolish, that I also may glory a little.)

dourh@2Corinthians:11:17 @ That which I speak, I speak not according to God, but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:23 @ They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:26 @ In journeying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils from my own nation, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils from false brethren.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:27 @ In labour and painfulness, in much watchings, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:31 @ The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not.

dourh@2Corinthians:11:32 @ At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:1 @ If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed): but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:4 @ That he was caught up into paradise, and heard secret words, which it is not granted to man to utter.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:8 @ For which thing thrice I besought the Lord, that it might depart from me.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I am become foolish: you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you: for I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:12 @ Yet the signs of my apostleship have been wrought on you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:14 @ Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:19 @ Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ; but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear lest perhaps when I come I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you.

dourh@2Corinthians:12:21 @ Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before, and have not done penance for the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, that they have committed.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have told before, and foretell, as present, and now absent, to them that sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:3 @ Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you?

dourh@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Try your own selves if you be in the faith; prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?

dourh@2Corinthians:13:6 @ But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:7 @ Now we pray God, that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good, and that we may be as reprobates.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:9 @ For we rejoice that we are weak, and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:10 @ Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification, and not unto destruction.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:11 @ For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you.

dourh@2Corinthians:13:13 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

dourh@Galatians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead,

dourh@Galatians:1:2 @ And all the brethren who are with me, to the churches of Galatia.

dourh@Galatians:1:3 @ Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

dourh@Galatians:1:4 @ Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father:

dourh@Galatians:1:5 @ To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.

dourh@Galatians:1:6 @ I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel.

dourh@Galatians:1:7 @ Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

dourh@Galatians:1:8 @ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

dourh@Galatians:1:9 @ As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.

dourh@Galatians:1:10 @ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

dourh@Galatians:1:11 @ For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

dourh@Galatians:1:12 @ For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

dourh@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it.

dourh@Galatians:1:14 @ And I made progress in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

dourh@Galatians:1:15 @ But when it pleased him, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,

dourh@Galatians:1:16 @ To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles, immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood.

dourh@Galatians:1:17 @ Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus.

dourh@Galatians:1:18 @ Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I tarried with him fifteen days.

dourh@Galatians:1:19 @ But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord.

dourh@Galatians:1:20 @ Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not.

dourh@Galatians:1:21 @ Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.

dourh@Galatians:1:22 @ And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ:

dourh@Galatians:1:23 @ But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past, doth now preach the faith which once he impugned:

dourh@Galatians:1:24 @ And they glorified God in me.

dourh@Galatians:2:1 @ Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

dourh@Galatians:2:2 @ And I went up according to revelation; and communicated to them the gospel, which I preach among the Gentiles, but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run, or had run in vain.

dourh@Galatians:2:3 @ But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Gentile, was compelled to be circumcised.

dourh@Galatians:2:4 @ But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty, which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude.

dourh@Galatians:2:5 @ To whom we yielded not by subjection, no not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

dourh@Galatians:2:6 @ But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time, it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man,) for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing.

dourh@Galatians:2:7 @ But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision.

dourh@Galatians:2:8 @ (For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, wrought in me also among the Gentiles.)

dourh@Galatians:2:9 @ And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision:

dourh@Galatians:2:10 @ Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do.

dourh@Galatians:2:11 @ But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

dourh@Galatians:2:12 @ For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.

dourh@Galatians:2:13 @ And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented, so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation.

dourh@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles, and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

dourh@Galatians:2:15 @ We by nature are Jews, and not of the Gentiles sinners.

dourh@Galatians:2:16 @ But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

dourh@Galatians:2:17 @ But if while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners; is Christ then the minister of sin? God forbid.

dourh@Galatians:2:18 @ For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator.

dourh@Galatians:2:19 @ For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.

dourh@Galatians:2:20 @ And I live, now not I; but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself for me.

dourh@Galatians:2:21 @ I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain.

dourh@Galatians:3:1 @ O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you?

dourh@Galatians:3:2 @ This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

dourh@Galatians:3:3 @ Are you so foolish, that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh?

dourh@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you suffered so great things in vain? If it be yet in vain.

dourh@Galatians:3:5 @ He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you; doth he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?

dourh@Galatians:3:6 @ As it is written: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

dourh@Galatians:3:7 @ Know ye therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

dourh@Galatians:3:8 @ And the scripture, foreseeing, that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed.

dourh@Galatians:3:9 @ Therefore they that are of faith, shall be blessed with faithful Abraham.

dourh@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one, that abideth not in all things, which are written in the book of the law to do them.

dourh@Galatians:3:11 @ But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith.

dourh@Galatians:3:12 @ But the law is not of faith: but, He that doth those things, shall live in them.

dourh@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

dourh@Galatians:3:14 @ That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

dourh@Galatians:3:15 @ Brethren (I speak after the manner of man,) yet a man's testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth, nor addeth to it.

dourh@Galatians:3:16 @ To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

dourh@Galatians:3:17 @ Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.

dourh@Galatians:3:18 @ For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.

dourh@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

dourh@Galatians:3:20 @ Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one.

dourh@Galatians:3:21 @ Was the law then against the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law.

dourh@Galatians:3:22 @ But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.

dourh@Galatians:3:23 @ But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.

dourh@Galatians:3:24 @ Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

dourh@Galatians:3:25 @ But after the faith is come, we are no longer under a pedagogue.

dourh@Galatians:3:26 @ For you are all the children of God by faith, in Christ Jesus.

dourh@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.

dourh@Galatians:3:28 @ There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

dourh@Galatians:3:29 @ And if you be Christ's, then are you the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

dourh@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

dourh@Galatians:4:2 @ But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father:

dourh@Galatians:4:3 @ So we also, when we were children, were serving under the elements of the world.

dourh@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:

dourh@Galatians:4:5 @ That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.

dourh@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.

dourh@Galatians:4:7 @ Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.

dourh@Galatians:4:8 @ But then indeed, not knowing God, you served them, who, by nature, are not gods.

dourh@Galatians:4:9 @ But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements, which you desire to serve again?

dourh@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days, and months, and times, and years.

dourh@Galatians:4:11 @ I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you.

dourh@Galatians:4:12 @ Be ye as I, because I also am as you: brethren, I beseech you: you have not injured me at all.

dourh@Galatians:4:13 @ And you know, how through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh,

dourh@Galatians:4:14 @ You despised not, nor rejected: but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

dourh@Galatians:4:15 @ Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness, that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes, and would have given them to me.

dourh@Galatians:4:16 @ Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

dourh@Galatians:4:17 @ They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them.

dourh@Galatians:4:18 @ But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you.

dourh@Galatians:4:19 @ My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.

dourh@Galatians:4:20 @ And I would willingly be present with you now, and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you.

dourh@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law?

dourh@Galatians:4:22 @ For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.

dourh@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.

dourh@Galatians:4:24 @ Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:

dourh@Galatians:4:25 @ For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

dourh@Galatians:4:26 @ But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.

dourh@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.

dourh@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

dourh@Galatians:4:29 @ But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.

dourh@Galatians:4:30 @ But 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 free woman.

dourh@Galatians:4:31 @ So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.

dourh@Galatians:5:1 @ Stand fast, and be not held again under the yoke of bondage.

dourh@Galatians:5:2 @ Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

dourh@Galatians:5:3 @ And I testify again to every man circumcising himself, that he is a debtor to the whole law.

dourh@Galatians:5:4 @ You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace.

dourh@Galatians:5:5 @ For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice.

dourh@Galatians:5:6 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity.

dourh@Galatians:5:7 @ You did run well, who hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth?

dourh@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion is not from him that calleth you.

dourh@Galatians:5:9 @ A little leaven corrupteth the whole lump.

dourh@Galatians:5:10 @ I have confidence in you in the Lord: that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you, shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be.

dourh@Galatians:5:11 @ And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void.

dourh@Galatians:5:12 @ I would they were even cut off, who trouble you.

dourh@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty: only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh, but by charity of the spirit serve one another.

dourh@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

dourh@Galatians:5:15 @ But if you bite and devour one another; take heed you be not consumed one of another.

dourh@Galatians:5:16 @ I say then, walk in the spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.

dourh@Galatians:5:17 @ For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would.

dourh@Galatians:5:18 @ But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.

dourh@Galatians:5:19 @ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury,

dourh@Galatians:5:20 @ Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects,

dourh@Galatians:5:21 @ Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God.

dourh@Galatians:5:22 @ But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity,

dourh@Galatians:5:23 @ Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law.

dourh@Galatians:5:24 @ And they that are Christ's, have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences.

dourh@Galatians:5:25 @ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

dourh@Galatians:5:26 @ Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying on another.

dourh@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

dourh@Galatians:6:2 @ Bear ye one another's burdens; and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ.

dourh@Galatians:6:3 @ For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

dourh@Galatians:6:4 @ But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another.

dourh@Galatians:6:5 @ For every one shall bear his own burden.

dourh@Galatians:6:6 @ And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things.

dourh@Galatians:6:7 @ Be not deceived, God is not mocked.

dourh@Galatians:6:8 @ For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.

dourh@Galatians:6:9 @ And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.

dourh@Galatians:6:10 @ Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

dourh@Galatians:6:11 @ See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand.

dourh@Galatians:6:12 @ For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.

dourh@Galatians:6:13 @ For neither they themselves who are circumcised, keep the law; but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

dourh@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.

dourh@Galatians:6:15 @ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

dourh@Galatians:6:16 @ And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

dourh@Galatians:6:17 @ From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.

dourh@Galatians:6:18 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

dourh@Ephesians:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

dourh@Ephesians:1:2 @ Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:

dourh@Ephesians:1:4 @ As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.

dourh@Ephesians:1:5 @ Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will:

dourh@Ephesians:1:6 @ Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son.

dourh@Ephesians:1:8 @ Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,

dourh@Ephesians:1:9 @ That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,

dourh@Ephesians:1:10 @ In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.

dourh@Ephesians:1:11 @ In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.

dourh@Ephesians:1:12 @ That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:

dourh@Ephesians:1:13 @ In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,

dourh@Ephesians:1:15 @ Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,

dourh@Ephesians:1:16 @ Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,

dourh@Ephesians:1:17 @ That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:

dourh@Ephesians:1:18 @ The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

dourh@Ephesians:1:19 @ And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,

dourh@Ephesians:1:21 @ Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.

dourh@Ephesians:1:22 @ And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,

dourh@Ephesians:2:2 @ Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief:

dourh@Ephesians:2:3 @ In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:

dourh@Ephesians:2:5 @ Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved,)

dourh@Ephesians:2:6 @ And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.

dourh@Ephesians:2:7 @ That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.

dourh@Ephesians:2:8 @ For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;

dourh@Ephesians:2:9 @ Not of works, that no man may glory.

dourh@Ephesians:2:10 @ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.

dourh@Ephesians:2:11 @ For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands;

dourh@Ephesians:2:12 @ That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world.

dourh@Ephesians:2:14 @ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:

dourh@Ephesians:2:15 @ Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

dourh@Ephesians:2:17 @ And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh.

dourh@Ephesians:2:18 @ For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.

dourh@Ephesians:2:20 @ Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:

dourh@Ephesians:2:22 @ In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

dourh@Ephesians:3:2 @ If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you:

dourh@Ephesians:3:3 @ How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words;

dourh@Ephesians:3:5 @ Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:

dourh@Ephesians:3:6 @ That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and co-partners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel:

dourh@Ephesians:3:7 @ Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power:

dourh@Ephesians:3:9 @ And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things:

dourh@Ephesians:3:10 @ That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,

dourh@Ephesians:3:13 @ Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

dourh@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

dourh@Ephesians:3:15 @ Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named,

dourh@Ephesians:3:16 @ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man,

dourh@Ephesians:3:17 @ That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity,

dourh@Ephesians:3:18 @ You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth:

dourh@Ephesians:3:19 @ To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

dourh@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us;

dourh@Ephesians:3:21 @ To him be glory in the church, and in Christ Jesus unto all generations, world without end. Amen.

dourh@Ephesians:4:1 @ I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,

dourh@Ephesians:4:2 @ With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.

dourh@Ephesians:4:6 @ One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.

dourh@Ephesians:4:9 @ Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

dourh@Ephesians:4:10 @ He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

dourh@Ephesians:4:14 @ That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive

dourh@Ephesians:4:16 @ From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.

dourh@Ephesians:4:17 @ This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,

dourh@Ephesians:4:18 @ Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.

dourh@Ephesians:4:21 @ If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:

dourh@Ephesians:4:22 @ To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.

dourh@Ephesians:4:24 @ And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.

dourh@Ephesians:4:28 @ He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

dourh@Ephesians:4:29 @ Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.

dourh@Ephesians:4:31 @ Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice.

dourh@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.

dourh@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.

dourh@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:

dourh@Ephesians:5:4 @ Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.

dourh@Ephesians:5:5 @ For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

dourh@Ephesians:5:10 @ Proving what is well pleasing to God:

dourh@Ephesians:5:11 @ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

dourh@Ephesians:5:12 @ For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

dourh@Ephesians:5:13 @ But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.

dourh@Ephesians:5:14 @ Wherefore he saith: Rise thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee.

dourh@Ephesians:5:17 @ Wherefore become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God.

dourh@Ephesians:5:20 @ Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father:

dourh@Ephesians:5:26 @ That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life:

dourh@Ephesians:5:27 @ That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any; such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish.

dourh@Ephesians:5:28 @ So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

dourh@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church:

dourh@Ephesians:5:31 @ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.

dourh@Ephesians:5:32 @ This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church.

dourh@Ephesians:6:2 @ Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:

dourh@Ephesians:6:5 @ Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:

dourh@Ephesians:6:8 @ Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond, or free.

dourh@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings, knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.

dourh@Ephesians:6:11 @ Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.

dourh@Ephesians:6:13 @ Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect.

dourh@Ephesians:6:14 @ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice,

dourh@Ephesians:6:15 @ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:

dourh@Ephesians:6:17 @ And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God).

dourh@Ephesians:6:18 @ By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints:

dourh@Ephesians:6:19 @ And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel.

dourh@Ephesians:6:20 @ For which I am an ambassador in a chain, so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought.

dourh@Ephesians:6:21 @ But that you also may know the things that concern me, and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:

dourh@Ephesians:6:22 @ Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts.

dourh@Ephesians:6:23 @ Peace be to the brethren and charity with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@Ephesians:6:24 @ Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.

dourh@Philippians:1:1 @ Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

dourh@Philippians:1:2 @ Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@Philippians:1:4 @ Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;

dourh@Philippians:1:5 @ For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.

dourh@Philippians:1:6 @ Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.

dourh@Philippians:1:7 @ As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.

dourh@Philippians:1:9 @ And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:

dourh@Philippians:1:10 @ That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,

dourh@Philippians:1:12 @ Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:

dourh@Philippians:1:13 @ So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;

dourh@Philippians:1:16 @ Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

dourh@Philippians:1:17 @ And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.

dourh@Philippians:1:18 @ But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

dourh@Philippians:1:19 @ For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

dourh@Philippians:1:20 @ According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.

dourh@Philippians:1:22 @ And if to live in the flesh, that is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.

dourh@Philippians:1:25 @ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:

dourh@Philippians:1:26 @ That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.

dourh@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.

dourh@Philippians:1:28 @ And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:

dourh@Philippians:1:30 @ Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.

dourh@Philippians:2:1 @ If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:

dourh@Philippians:2:2 @ Fulfil ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.

dourh@Philippians:2:4 @ Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's.

dourh@Philippians:2:8 @ He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.

dourh@Philippians:2:9 @ For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:

dourh@Philippians:2:10 @ That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:

dourh@Philippians:2:11 @ And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

dourh@Philippians:2:12 @ Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.

dourh@Philippians:2:14 @ And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;

dourh@Philippians:2:15 @ That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world.

dourh@Philippians:2:17 @ Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.

dourh@Philippians:2:18 @ And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.

dourh@Philippians:2:19 @ And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you.

dourh@Philippians:2:21 @ For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ's.

dourh@Philippians:2:22 @ Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.

dourh@Philippians:2:23 @ Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

dourh@Philippians:2:24 @ And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.

dourh@Philippians:2:25 @ But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.

dourh@Philippians:2:26 @ For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.

dourh@Philippians:2:27 @ For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

dourh@Philippians:2:28 @ Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.

dourh@Philippians:2:29 @ Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.

dourh@Philippians:2:30 @ Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service.

dourh@Philippians:3:6 @ According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.

dourh@Philippians:3:7 @ But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ.

dourh@Philippians:3:8 @ Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ:

dourh@Philippians:3:9 @ And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:

dourh@Philippians:3:10 @ That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,

dourh@Philippians:3:11 @ If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.

dourh@Philippians:3:12 @ Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.

dourh@Philippians:3:13 @ Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,

dourh@Philippians:3:14 @ I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.

dourh@Philippians:3:16 @ Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.

dourh@Philippians:3:18 @ For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;

dourh@Philippians:3:20 @ But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,

dourh@Philippians:3:21 @ Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

dourh@Philippians:4:3 @ And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

dourh@Philippians:4:6 @ Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.

dourh@Philippians:4:8 @ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.

dourh@Philippians:4:10 @ Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied.

dourh@Philippians:4:11 @ I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith.

dourh@Philippians:4:14 @ Nevertheless you have done well in communicating to my tribulation.

dourh@Philippians:4:15 @ And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only:

dourh@Philippians:4:17 @ Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account.

dourh@Philippians:4:20 @ Now to God and our Father be glory world without end. Amen.

dourh@Philippians:4:22 @ The brethren who are with me, salute you. All the saints salute you; especially they that are of Caesar's household.

dourh@Colossians:1:2 @ To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus, who are at Colossa.

dourh@Colossians:1:3 @ Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God, and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.

dourh@Colossians:1:5 @ For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel,

dourh@Colossians:1:8 @ Who also hath manifested to us your love in the spirit.

dourh@Colossians:1:9 @ Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you, and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding:

dourh@Colossians:1:10 @ That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God:

dourh@Colossians:1:11 @ Strengthened with all might, according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy,

dourh@Colossians:1:12 @ Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light:

dourh@Colossians:1:13 @ Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

dourh@Colossians:1:15 @ Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

dourh@Colossians:1:16 @ For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and in him.

dourh@Colossians:1:18 @ And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he may hold the primacy:

dourh@Colossians:1:19 @ Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father, that all fullness should dwell;

dourh@Colossians:1:20 @ And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.

dourh@Colossians:1:21 @ And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works:

dourh@Colossians:1:22 @ Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted, and blameless before him:

dourh@Colossians:1:23 @ If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.

dourh@Colossians:1:24 @ Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church:

dourh@Colossians:1:25 @ Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfil the word of God:

dourh@Colossians:1:26 @ The mystery which hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is manifested to his saints,

dourh@Colossians:1:28 @ Whom we preach, admonishing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

dourh@Colossians:2:1 @ For I would have you know, what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh:

dourh@Colossians:2:2 @ That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity, and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus:

dourh@Colossians:2:4 @ Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words.

dourh@Colossians:2:8 @ Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ:

dourh@Colossians:2:12 @ Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead.

dourh@Colossians:2:13 @ And you, when you were dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh; he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences:

dourh@Colossians:2:14 @ Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross:

dourh@Colossians:2:15 @ And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself.

dourh@Colossians:2:16 @ Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths,

dourh@Colossians:2:18 @ Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh,

dourh@Colossians:3:1 @ Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God:

dourh@Colossians:3:2 @ Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.

dourh@Colossians:3:5 @ Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols.

dourh@Colossians:3:6 @ For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief,

dourh@Colossians:3:8 @ But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.

dourh@Colossians:3:10 @ And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him.

dourh@Colossians:3:12 @ Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience:

dourh@Colossians:3:13 @ Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also.

dourh@Colossians:3:17 @ All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

dourh@Colossians:3:21 @ Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged.

dourh@Colossians:3:23 @ Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men:

dourh@Colossians:3:24 @ Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.

dourh@Colossians:3:25 @ For he that doth wrong, shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully: and there is no respect of persons with God.

dourh@Colossians:4:1 @ Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

dourh@Colossians:4:2 @ Be instant in prayer; watching in it with thanksgiving:

dourh@Colossians:4:3 @ Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound;)

dourh@Colossians:4:4 @ That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak.

dourh@Colossians:4:5 @ Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time.

dourh@Colossians:4:6 @ Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man.

dourh@Colossians:4:7 @ All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother, and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you,

dourh@Colossians:4:8 @ Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you, and comfort your hearts,

dourh@Colossians:4:9 @ With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you.

dourh@Colossians:4:11 @ And Jesus, that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision: these only are my helpers in the kingdom of God; who have been a comfort to me.

dourh@Colossians:4:12 @ Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect, and full in all the will of God.

dourh@Colossians:4:13 @ For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you, and for them that are at Laodicea, and them at Hierapolis.

dourh@Colossians:4:15 @ Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in his house.

dourh@Colossians:4:16 @ And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans.

dourh@Colossians:4:17 @ And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

dourh@Colossians:4:18 @ The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy: to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father:

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia, and in Achaia, but also in every place, your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God.

dourh@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead,) Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed:

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children,)

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:17 @ But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:18 @ For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.

dourh@1Thessalonians:2:19 @ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:1 @ For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone:

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:3 @ That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know, that we are appointed thereunto.

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:4 @ For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations, as also it is come to pass, and you know.

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:5 @ For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you, and our labour should be made vain.

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:6 @ But now when Timothy came to us from you, and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you;

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:7 @ Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith,

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:9 @ For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:10 @ Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face, and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:11 @ Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

dourh@1Thessalonians:3:13 @ To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us, how you ought to walk, and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that you should abstain from fornication;

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour:

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ And that no man overreach, nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before, and have testified.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more:

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ And that you use your endeavour to be quiet, and that you do your own business, and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without; and that you want nothing of any man's.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ And we will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.

dourh@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you;

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it.

dourh@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:1 @ Paul, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:2 @ Grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ So that we ourselves also glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith, and in all your persecutions and tribulations, which you endure,

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer.

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ Seeing it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that trouble you:

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made wonderful in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon you in that day.

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ Wherefore also we pray always for you; that our God would make you worthy of his vocation, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith in power;

dourh@2Thessalonians:1:12 @ That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him:

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ That you be not easily moved from your sense, nor be terrified, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by epistle, as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:6 @ And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:8 @ And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, him,

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:9 @ Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:10 @ And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit, and faith of the truth:

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:13 @ Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hathloved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope in grace,

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may run, and may be glorified, even as among you;

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men; for all men have not faith.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:4 @ And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:5 @ And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed:

dourh@2Thessalonians:3:17 @ The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write.

dourh@1Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

dourh@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,

dourh@1Timothy:1:4 @ Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.

dourh@1Timothy:1:8 @ But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully:

dourh@1Timothy:1:9 @ Knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

dourh@1Timothy:1:10 @ For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,

dourh@1Timothy:1:11 @ Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.

dourh@1Timothy:1:12 @ I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;

dourh@1Timothy:1:14 @ Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

dourh@1Timothy:1:15 @ A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.

dourh@1Timothy:1:16 @ But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting.

dourh@1Timothy:1:18 @ This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,

dourh@1Timothy:1:20 @ Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

dourh@1Timothy:2:1 @ I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:

dourh@1Timothy:2:2 @ For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.

dourh@1Timothy:2:5 @ For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:

dourh@1Timothy:2:8 @ I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.

dourh@1Timothy:2:9 @ In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire,

dourh@1Timothy:2:15 @ Yet she shall be saved through childbearing; if she continue in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

dourh@1Timothy:3:4 @ One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.

dourh@1Timothy:3:13 @ For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

dourh@1Timothy:3:14 @ These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.

dourh@1Timothy:3:15 @ But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

dourh@1Timothy:3:16 @ And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.

dourh@1Timothy:4:1 @ Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,

dourh@1Timothy:4:3 @ Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.

dourh@1Timothy:4:4 @ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving:

dourh@1Timothy:4:6 @ These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.

dourh@1Timothy:4:8 @ For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

dourh@1Timothy:4:9 @ A faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

dourh@1Timothy:4:12 @ Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.

dourh@1Timothy:4:13 @ Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.

dourh@1Timothy:4:14 @ Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.

dourh@1Timothy:4:15 @ Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.

dourh@1Timothy:4:16 @ Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.

dourh@1Timothy:5:1 @ An ancient man rebuke not, but entreat him as a father: young men, as brethren:

dourh@1Timothy:5:3 @ Honour widows, that are widows indeed.

dourh@1Timothy:5:5 @ But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God, and continue in supplications and prayers night and day.

dourh@1Timothy:5:6 @ For she that liveth in pleasures, is dead while she is living.

dourh@1Timothy:5:7 @ And this give in charge, that they may be blameless.

dourh@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if any man have not care of his own, and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

dourh@1Timothy:5:9 @ Let a widow be chosen of no less than threescore years of age, who hath been the wife of one husband.

dourh@1Timothy:5:10 @ Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work.

dourh@1Timothy:5:12 @ Having damnation, because they have made void their first faith.

dourh@1Timothy:5:13 @ And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

dourh@1Timothy:5:14 @ I will therefore that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil.

dourh@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some are already turned aside after Satan.

dourh@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed.

dourh@1Timothy:5:17 @ Let the priests that rule well, be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine:

dourh@1Timothy:5:18 @ For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

dourh@1Timothy:5:19 @ Against a priest receive not an accusation, but under two or three witnesses.

dourh@1Timothy:5:20 @ Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also may have fear.

dourh@1Timothy:5:21 @ I charge thee before God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side.

dourh@1Timothy:5:23 @ Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities.

dourh@1Timothy:5:25 @ In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.

dourh@1Timothy:6:2 @ But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

dourh@1Timothy:6:3 @ If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,

dourh@1Timothy:6:6 @ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

dourh@1Timothy:6:9 @ For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.

dourh@1Timothy:6:11 @ But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.

dourh@1Timothy:6:13 @ I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,

dourh@1Timothy:6:14 @ That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,

dourh@1Timothy:6:16 @ Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.

dourh@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.

dourh@2Timothy:1:2 @ To Timothy my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

dourh@2Timothy:1:3 @ I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that without ceasing, I have a remembrance of thee in my prayers, night and day.

dourh@2Timothy:1:4 @ Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy,

dourh@2Timothy:1:5 @ Calling to mind that faith which is in thee unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am certain that in thee also.

dourh@2Timothy:1:6 @ For which cause I admonish thee, that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee, by the imposition of my hands.

dourh@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.

dourh@2Timothy:1:9 @ Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world.

dourh@2Timothy:1:10 @ But is now made manifest by the illumination of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath destroyed death, and hath brought to light life and incorruption by the gospel:

dourh@2Timothy:1:12 @ For which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day.

dourh@2Timothy:1:15 @ Thou knowest this, that all they who are in Asia, are turned away from me: of whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.

dourh@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus: because he hath often refreshed me, and hath not been ashamed of my chain:

dourh@2Timothy:1:18 @ The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest.

dourh@2Timothy:2:4 @ No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself.

dourh@2Timothy:2:5 @ For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

dourh@2Timothy:2:6 @ The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of the fruits.

dourh@2Timothy:2:7 @ Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding.

dourh@2Timothy:2:8 @ Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel.

dourh@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.

dourh@2Timothy:2:15 @ Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

dourh@2Timothy:2:18 @ Who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith of some.

dourh@2Timothy:2:19 @ But the sure foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal: the Lord knoweth who are his; and let every one depart from iniquity who nameth the name of the Lord.

dourh@2Timothy:2:20 @ But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earth: and some indeed unto honour, but some unto dishonour.

dourh@2Timothy:2:22 @ But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue justice, faith, charity, and peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

dourh@2Timothy:2:23 @ And avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they beget strifes.

dourh@2Timothy:2:24 @ But the servant of the Lord must not wrangle: but be mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient,

dourh@2Timothy:2:25 @ With modesty admonishing them that resist the truth: if peradventure God may give them repentance to know the truth,

dourh@2Timothy:2:26 @ And they may recover themselves from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.

dourh@2Timothy:3:1 @ Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.

dourh@2Timothy:3:2 @ Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,

dourh@2Timothy:3:7 @ Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.

dourh@2Timothy:3:8 @ Now as Jannes and Mambres resisted Moses, so these also resist the truth, men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

dourh@2Timothy:3:10 @ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

dourh@2Timothy:3:11 @ Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me.

dourh@2Timothy:3:12 @ And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

dourh@2Timothy:3:15 @ And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

dourh@2Timothy:4:2 @ Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.

dourh@2Timothy:4:16 @ At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.

dourh@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

dourh@2Timothy:4:18 @ The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

dourh@Titus:1:5 @ For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee:

dourh@Titus:1:9 @ Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine, and to convince the gainsayers.

dourh@Titus:1:13 @ This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

dourh@Titus:1:15 @ All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled, and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

dourh@Titus:1:16 @ They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.

dourh@Titus:2:1 @ But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine:

dourh@Titus:2:2 @ That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience.

dourh@Titus:2:3 @ The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well:

dourh@Titus:2:4 @ That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children,

dourh@Titus:2:5 @ To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

dourh@Titus:2:6 @ Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober.

dourh@Titus:2:10 @ Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things:

dourh@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men;

dourh@Hebrews:1:5 @ For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

dourh@Hebrews:1:7 @ And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

dourh@Hebrews:1:9 @ Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

dourh@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

dourh@Hebrews:1:14 @ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?

dourh@Hebrews:2:3 @ How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.

dourh@Hebrews:2:5 @ For God hath not subjected unto angels the world to come, whereof we speak.

dourh@Hebrews:2:6 @ But one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

dourh@Hebrews:2:8 @ Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him, he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him.

dourh@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all.

dourh@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, who had brought many children into glory, to perfect the author of their salvation, by his passion.

dourh@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying:

dourh@Hebrews:2:13 @ And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold I and my children, whom God hath given me.

dourh@Hebrews:2:14 @ Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil:

dourh@Hebrews:2:15 @ And might deliver them, who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to servitude.

dourh@Hebrews:2:17 @ Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.

dourh@Hebrews:2:18 @ For in that, wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to succour them also that are tempted.

dourh@Hebrews:3:1 @ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

dourh@Hebrews:3:2 @ Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

dourh@Hebrews:3:3 @ For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.

dourh@Hebrews:3:4 @ For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.

dourh@Hebrews:3:8 @ Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,

dourh@Hebrews:3:9 @ Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

dourh@Hebrews:3:10 @ Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,

dourh@Hebrews:3:11 @ As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

dourh@Hebrews:3:13 @ But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

dourh@Hebrews:3:15 @ While it is said, To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

dourh@Hebrews:3:16 @ For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

dourh@Hebrews:3:17 @ And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

dourh@Hebrews:3:18 @ And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

dourh@Hebrews:3:19 @ And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

dourh@Hebrews:4:2 @ For unto us also it hath been declared, in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard.

dourh@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath; If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished.

dourh@Hebrews:4:6 @ Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they, to whom it was first preached, did not enter because of unbelief:

dourh@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his.

dourh@Hebrews:4:11 @ Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest; lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief.

dourh@Hebrews:4:13 @ Neither is there any creature invisible in his sight: but all things are naked and open to his eyes, to whom our speech is.

dourh@Hebrews:4:14 @ Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession.

dourh@Hebrews:4:16 @ Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid.

dourh@Hebrews:5:1 @ For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

dourh@Hebrews:5:2 @ Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

dourh@Hebrews:5:4 @ Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

dourh@Hebrews:5:5 @ So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

dourh@Hebrews:5:7 @ Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

dourh@Hebrews:5:9 @ And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.

dourh@Hebrews:5:12 @ For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

dourh@Hebrews:5:13 @ For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.

dourh@Hebrews:5:14 @ But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.

dourh@Hebrews:6:1 @ Wherefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to things more perfect, not laying again the foundation of penance from dead works, and of faith towards God,

dourh@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

dourh@Hebrews:6:7 @ For the earth that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God.

dourh@Hebrews:6:8 @ But that which bringeth forth thorns and briers, is reprobate, and very near unto a curse, whose end is to be burnt.

dourh@Hebrews:6:9 @ But, my dearly beloved, we trust better things of you, and nearer to salvation; though we speak thus.

dourh@Hebrews:6:10 @ For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered, and do minister to the saints.

dourh@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto the end:

dourh@Hebrews:6:12 @ That you become not slothful, but followers of them, who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises.

dourh@Hebrews:6:13 @ For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,

dourh@Hebrews:6:15 @ And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.

dourh@Hebrews:6:16 @ For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.

dourh@Hebrews:6:17 @ Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed an oath:

dourh@Hebrews:6:18 @ That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us.

dourh@Hebrews:7:2 @ To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation, is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace:

dourh@Hebrews:7:3 @ Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever.

dourh@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.

dourh@Hebrews:7:5 @ And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham.

dourh@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

dourh@Hebrews:7:7 @ And without all contradiction, that which is less, is blessed by the better.

dourh@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here indeed, men that die, receive thithes: but there he hath witness, that he liveth.

dourh@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedech met him.

dourh@Hebrews:7:11 @ If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

dourh@Hebrews:7:12 @ For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law.

dourh@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he, of whom these things are spoken, is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.

dourh@Hebrews:7:14 @ For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

dourh@Hebrews:7:20 @ And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;

dourh@Hebrews:7:21 @ But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever.)

dourh@Hebrews:7:23 @ And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:

dourh@Hebrews:7:24 @ But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood,

dourh@Hebrews:7:25 @ Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.

dourh@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

dourh@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath, which was since the law, the Son who is perfected for evermore.

dourh@Hebrews:8:2 @ A minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.

dourh@Hebrews:8:3 @ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer.

dourh@Hebrews:8:4 @ If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,

dourh@Hebrews:8:5 @ Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount.

dourh@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament, which is established on better promises.

dourh@Hebrews:8:7 @ For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second.

dourh@Hebrews:8:9 @ Not according to the testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

dourh@Hebrews:8:11 @ And they shall not teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the least to the greatest of them:

dourh@Hebrews:8:13 @ Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old, is near its end.

dourh@Hebrews:9:1 @ The former indeed had also justifications of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

dourh@Hebrews:9:4 @ Having a golden censer, and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna, and the rod of Aaron, that had blossomed, and the tables of the testament.

dourh@Hebrews:9:5 @ And over it were the cherubims of glory overshadowing the propitiatory: of which it is not needful to speak now particularly.

dourh@Hebrews:9:8 @ The Holy Ghost signifying this, that the way into the holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing.

dourh@Hebrews:9:9 @ Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which can not, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks,

dourh@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation:

dourh@Hebrews:9:12 @ Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption.

dourh@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh:

dourh@Hebrews:9:15 @ And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those trangressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

dourh@Hebrews:9:16 @ For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must of necessity come in.

dourh@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is of force, after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth.

dourh@Hebrews:9:18 @ Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.

dourh@Hebrews:9:19 @ For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

dourh@Hebrews:9:20 @ Saying: This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you.

dourh@Hebrews:9:23 @ It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

dourh@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Jesus is not entered into the holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us.

dourh@Hebrews:9:25 @ Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies, every year with the blood of others:

dourh@Hebrews:9:26 @ For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world: but now once at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin, by the sacrifice of himself.

dourh@Hebrews:9:28 @ So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many; the second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

dourh@Hebrews:10:3 @ But in them there is made a commemoration of sins every year.

dourh@Hebrews:10:4 @ For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away.

dourh@Hebrews:10:5 @ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me:

dourh@Hebrews:10:7 @ Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God.

dourh@Hebrews:10:8 @ In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law.

dourh@Hebrews:10:9 @ Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: he taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth.

dourh@Hebrews:10:10 @ In the which will, we are sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once.

dourh@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

dourh@Hebrews:10:15 @ And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said:

dourh@Hebrews:10:18 @ Now where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin.

dourh@Hebrews:10:20 @ A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,

dourh@Hebrews:10:22 @ Let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with clean water.

dourh@Hebrews:10:23 @ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised),

dourh@Hebrews:10:27 @ But a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries.

dourh@Hebrews:10:29 @ How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace?

dourh@Hebrews:10:30 @ For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people.

dourh@Hebrews:10:32 @ But call to mind the former days, wherein, being illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions.

dourh@Hebrews:10:33 @ And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazingstock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort.

dourh@Hebrews:10:34 @ For you both had compassion on them that were in bands, and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance.

dourh@Hebrews:10:35 @ Do not therefore lose your confidence, which hath a great reward.

dourh@Hebrews:10:36 @ For patience is necessary for you; that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.

dourh@Hebrews:10:37 @ For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come, will come, and will not delay.

dourh@Hebrews:11:1 @ Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.

dourh@Hebrews:11:3 @ By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God; that from invisible things visible things might be made.

dourh@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

dourh@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Henoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.

dourh@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him.

dourh@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

dourh@Hebrews:11:10 @ For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God.

dourh@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,

dourh@Hebrews:11:13 @ All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.

dourh@Hebrews:11:14 @ For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country. 15 And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.

dourh@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.

dourh@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son;

dourh@Hebrews:11:19 @ Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.

dourh@Hebrews:11:25 @ Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,

dourh@Hebrews:11:26 @ Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.

dourh@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.

dourh@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he celebrated the pasch, and the shedding of the blood; that he, who destroyed the firstborn, might not touch them.

dourh@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.

dourh@Hebrews:11:32 @ And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:

dourh@Hebrews:11:34 @ Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners:

dourh@Hebrews:11:35 @ Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.

dourh@Hebrews:11:37 @ They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:

dourh@Hebrews:11:40 @ God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.

dourh@Hebrews:12:1 @ And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us:

dourh@Hebrews:12:3 @ For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.

dourh@Hebrews:12:5 @ And you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord; neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him.

dourh@Hebrews:12:7 @ Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?

dourh@Hebrews:12:9 @ Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh, for instructors, and we reverenced them: shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits, and live?

dourh@Hebrews:12:10 @ And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification.

dourh@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice.

dourh@Hebrews:12:13 @ And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed.

dourh@Hebrews:12:16 @ Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright.

dourh@Hebrews:12:17 @ For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.

dourh@Hebrews:12:18 @ For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched, and a burning fire, and a whirlwind, and darkness, and storm,

dourh@Hebrews:12:19 @ And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them:

dourh@Hebrews:12:20 @ For they did not endure that which was said: And if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned.

dourh@Hebrews:12:21 @ And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble.

dourh@Hebrews:12:24 @ And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.

dourh@Hebrews:12:25 @ See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we, that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven.

dourh@Hebrews:12:27 @ And in that he saith, Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable.

dourh@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.

dourh@Hebrews:13:4 @ Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

dourh@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.

dourh@Hebrews:13:6 @ So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.

dourh@Hebrews:13:7 @ Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,

dourh@Hebrews:13:9 @ Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.

dourh@Hebrews:13:10 @ We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.

dourh@Hebrews:13:12 @ Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.

dourh@Hebrews:13:14 @ For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.

dourh@Hebrews:13:15 @ By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.

dourh@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.

dourh@Hebrews:13:19 @ And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

dourh@Hebrews:13:20 @ And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament,

dourh@Hebrews:13:21 @ Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.

dourh@Hebrews:13:22 @ And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.

dourh@Hebrews:13:23 @ Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.

dourh@Hebrews:13:24 @ Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.

dourh@James:1:1 @ James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

dourh@James:1:2 @ My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;

dourh@James:1:3 @ Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

dourh@James:1:4 @ And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.

dourh@James:1:6 @ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.

dourh@James:1:7 @ Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

dourh@James:1:9 @ But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:

dourh@James:1:11 @ For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

dourh@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.

dourh@James:1:13 @ Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.

dourh@James:1:15 @ Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.

dourh@James:1:17 @ Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.

dourh@James:1:18 @ For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.

dourh@James:1:24 @ For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.

dourh@James:1:25 @ But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.

dourh@James:1:27 @ Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.

dourh@James:2:2 @ For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel, and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire,

dourh@James:2:3 @ And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool:

dourh@James:2:5 @ Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?

dourh@James:2:6 @ But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?

dourh@James:2:7 @ Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?

dourh@James:2:11 @ For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

dourh@James:2:13 @ For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.

dourh@James:2:14 @ What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?

dourh@James:2:16 @ And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

dourh@James:2:19 @ Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.

dourh@James:2:20 @ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

dourh@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?

dourh@James:2:22 @ Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?

dourh@James:2:24 @ Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?

dourh@James:3:1 @ Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.

dourh@James:3:3 @ For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.

dourh@James:3:4 @ Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.

dourh@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.

dourh@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.

dourh@James:3:7 @ For every nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man:

dourh@James:3:9 @ By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.

dourh@James:3:11 @ Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?

dourh@James:3:12 @ Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.

dourh@James:3:13 @ Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.

dourh@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.

dourh@James:3:18 @ And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.

dourh@James:4:3 @ You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.

dourh@James:4:4 @ Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.

dourh@James:4:5 @ Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?

dourh@James:4:6 @ But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

dourh@James:4:11 @ Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

dourh@James:4:12 @ There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver.

dourh@James:4:13 @ But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain.

dourh@James:4:14 @ Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.

dourh@James:4:15 @ For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.

dourh@James:5:2 @ Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.

dourh@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days.

dourh@James:5:4 @ Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

dourh@James:5:6 @ You have condemned and put to death the Just One, and he resisted you not.

dourh@James:5:7 @ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.

dourh@James:5:8 @ Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

dourh@James:5:9 @ Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door.

dourh@James:5:10 @ Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord.

dourh@James:5:11 @ Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

dourh@James:5:12 @ But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. But let your speech be, yea, yea: no, no: that you fall not under judgment.

dourh@James:5:16 @ Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

dourh@James:5:17 @ Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months.

dourh@James:5:20 @ He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

dourh@1Peter:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

dourh@1Peter:1:4 @ Unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that can not fade, reserved in heaven for you,

dourh@1Peter:1:5 @ Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.

dourh@1Peter:1:6 @ Wherein you shall greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:

dourh@1Peter:1:7 @ That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

dourh@1Peter:1:9 @ Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

dourh@1Peter:1:10 @ Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and diligently searched, who prophesied of the grace to come in you.

dourh@1Peter:1:11 @ Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify: when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ, and the glories that should follow:

dourh@1Peter:1:12 @ To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look.

dourh@1Peter:1:13 @ Wherefore having the loins of your mind girt up, being sober, trust perfectly in the grace which is offered you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

dourh@1Peter:1:15 @ But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy:

dourh@1Peter:1:17 @ And if you invoke as Father him who, without respect of persons, judgeth according to every one's work: converse in fear during the time of your sojourning here.

dourh@1Peter:1:18 @ Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:

dourh@1Peter:1:20 @ Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you,

dourh@1Peter:1:21 @ Who through him are faithful in God, who raised him up from the dead, and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God.

dourh@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.

dourh@1Peter:2:1 @ Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,

dourh@1Peter:2:2 @ As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:

dourh@1Peter:2:3 @ If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.

dourh@1Peter:2:6 @ Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.

dourh@1Peter:2:7 @ To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

dourh@1Peter:2:8 @ And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.

dourh@1Peter:2:9 @ But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

dourh@1Peter:2:12 @ Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.

dourh@1Peter:2:13 @ Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;

dourh@1Peter:2:15 @ For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

dourh@1Peter:2:20 @ For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.

dourh@1Peter:2:21 @ For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.

dourh@1Peter:2:23 @ Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.

dourh@1Peter:2:24 @ Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.

dourh@1Peter:3:1 @ In like manner also let wives be subject to their husbands: that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives.

dourh@1Peter:3:2 @ Considering your chaste conversation with fear.

dourh@1Peter:3:7 @ Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.

dourh@1Peter:3:9 @ Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

dourh@1Peter:3:10 @ For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.

dourh@1Peter:3:12 @ Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.

dourh@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?

dourh@1Peter:3:15 @ But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.

dourh@1Peter:3:16 @ But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

dourh@1Peter:3:18 @ Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,

dourh@1Peter:3:19 @ In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:

dourh@1Peter:3:20 @ Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.

dourh@1Peter:3:21 @ Whereunto baptism being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

dourh@1Peter:3:22 @ Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death, that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.

dourh@1Peter:4:1 @ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sins:

dourh@1Peter:4:2 @ That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men, but according to the will of God.

dourh@1Peter:4:4 @ Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.

dourh@1Peter:4:6 @ For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: that they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh; but may live according to God, in the Spirit.

dourh@1Peter:4:7 @ But the end of all is at hand. Be prudent therefore, and watch in prayers.

dourh@1Peter:4:10 @ As every man hath received grace, ministering the same one to another: as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

dourh@1Peter:4:11 @ If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power, which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

dourh@1Peter:4:12 @ Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you;

dourh@1Peter:4:13 @ But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

dourh@1Peter:4:14 @ If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory, and power of God, and that which is his Spirit, resteth upon you.

dourh@1Peter:4:16 @ But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.

dourh@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God?

dourh@1Peter:4:19 @ Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God, commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator.

dourh@1Peter:5:1 @ The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:

dourh@1Peter:5:3 @ Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.

dourh@1Peter:5:5 @ In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.

dourh@1Peter:5:6 @ Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation:

dourh@1Peter:5:7 @ Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.

dourh@1Peter:5:8 @ Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.

dourh@1Peter:5:9 @ Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world.

dourh@1Peter:5:10 @ But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.

dourh@1Peter:5:12 @ By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand.

dourh@1Peter:5:13 @ The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark.

dourh@2Peter:1:1 @ Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

dourh@2Peter:1:3 @ As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.

dourh@2Peter:1:4 @ By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.

dourh@2Peter:1:6 @ And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;

dourh@2Peter:1:9 @ For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

dourh@2Peter:1:10 @ Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.

dourh@2Peter:1:14 @ Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.

dourh@2Peter:1:15 @ And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.

dourh@2Peter:1:16 @ For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.

dourh@2Peter:1:17 @ For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

dourh@2Peter:1:19 @ And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

dourh@2Peter:1:20 @ Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.

dourh@2Peter:1:21 @ For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.

dourh@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment:

dourh@2Peter:2:6 @ And reducing the cities of the Sodomites, and of the Gomorrhites, into ashes, condemned them to be overthrown, making them an example to those that should after act wickedly.

dourh@2Peter:2:7 @ And delivered just Lot, oppressed by the injustice and lewd conversation of the wicked.

dourh@2Peter:2:9 @ The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented.

dourh@2Peter:2:11 @ Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment.

dourh@2Peter:2:12 @ But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption,

dourh@2Peter:2:14 @ Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction:

dourh@2Peter:2:17 @ These are fountains without water, and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the mist of darkness is reserved.

dourh@2Peter:2:20 @ For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former.

dourh@2Peter:2:21 @ For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them.

dourh@2Peter:2:22 @ For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit: and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

dourh@2Peter:3:2 @ That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets, and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour.

dourh@2Peter:3:3 @ Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

dourh@2Peter:3:4 @ Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? for since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

dourh@2Peter:3:5 @ For this they are wilfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, consisting by the word of God.

dourh@2Peter:3:6 @ Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.

dourh@2Peter:3:8 @ But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

dourh@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance.

dourh@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up.

dourh@2Peter:3:11 @ Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness?

dourh@2Peter:3:12 @ Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?

dourh@2Peter:3:14 @ Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.

dourh@2Peter:3:15 @ And account the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation; as also our most dear brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, hath written to you:

dourh@1John:1:2 @ For the life was manifested; and we have seen and do bear witness, and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father, and hath appeared to us:

dourh@1John:1:3 @ That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

dourh@1John:1:4 @ And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice, and your joy may be full.

dourh@1John:1:5 @ And this is the declaration which we have heard from him, and declare unto you: That God is light, and in him there is no darkness.

dourh@1John:2:1 @ My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:

dourh@1John:2:2 @ And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

dourh@1John:2:3 @ And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.

dourh@1John:2:4 @ He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

dourh@1John:2:5 @ But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.

dourh@1John:2:6 @ He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.

dourh@1John:2:9 @ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

dourh@1John:2:10 @ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is no scandal in him.

dourh@1John:2:11 @ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth; because the darkness hath blinded his eyes.

dourh@1John:2:13 @ I write unto you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.

dourh@1John:2:14 @ I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.

dourh@1John:2:15 @ Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

dourh@1John:2:16 @ For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

dourh@1John:2:24 @ As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning, abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.

dourh@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting.

dourh@1John:2:26 @ These things have I written to you, concerning them that seduce you.

dourh@1John:2:27 @ And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him, abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you; but as his unction teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him.

dourh@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be confounded by him at his coming.

dourh@1John:2:29 @ If you know, that he is just, know ye, that every one also, who doth justice, is born of him.

dourh@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him.

dourh@1John:3:2 @ Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is.

dourh@1John:3:3 @ And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.

dourh@1John:3:5 @ And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.

dourh@1John:3:6 @ Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.

dourh@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just.

dourh@1John:3:8 @ He that commmitteth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

dourh@1John:3:10 @ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.

dourh@1John:3:11 @ For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.

dourh@1John:3:13 @ Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.

dourh@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.

dourh@1John:3:15 @ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself.

dourh@1John:3:16 @ In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

dourh@1John:3:17 @ He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?

dourh@1John:3:19 @ In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts.

dourh@1John:3:20 @ For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

dourh@1John:3:22 @ And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.

dourh@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us.

dourh@1John:3:24 @ And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

dourh@1John:4:2 @ By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God:

dourh@1John:4:3 @ And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world.

dourh@1John:4:4 @ You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

dourh@1John:4:6 @ We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us. He that is not of God, heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

dourh@1John:4:7 @ Dearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God.

dourh@1John:4:8 @ He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.

dourh@1John:4:9 @ By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.

dourh@1John:4:10 @ In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.

dourh@1John:4:11 @ My dearest, if God hath so loved us; we also ought to love one another.

dourh@1John:4:12 @ No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.

dourh@1John:4:13 @ In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit.

dourh@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.

dourh@1John:4:15 @ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

dourh@1John:4:16 @ And we have known, and have believed the charity, which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in him.

dourh@1John:4:17 @ In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world.

dourh@1John:4:18 @ Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth, is not perfected in charity.

dourh@1John:4:19 @ Let us therefore love God, because God first hath loved us.

dourh@1John:4:20 @ If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not?

dourh@1John:4:21 @ And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.

dourh@1John:5:1 @ Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him.

dourh@1John:5:2 @ In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.

dourh@1John:5:3 @ For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.

dourh@1John:5:4 @ For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

dourh@1John:5:5 @ Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

dourh@1John:5:6 @ This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the truth.

dourh@1John:5:7 @ And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.

dourh@1John:5:8 @ And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one.

dourh@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.

dourh@1John:5:10 @ He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.

dourh@1John:5:11 @ And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son.

dourh@1John:5:12 @ He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life.

dourh@1John:5:13 @ These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

dourh@1John:5:14 @ And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.

dourh@1John:5:15 @ And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.

dourh@1John:5:16 @ He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.

dourh@1John:5:17 @ All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.

dourh@1John:5:18 @ We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

dourh@1John:5:19 @ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.

dourh@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal.

dourh@2John:1:1 @ The ancient to the lady Elect, and her children, whom I love in the truth, and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth,

dourh@2John:1:5 @ And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

dourh@2John:1:6 @ And this is charity, that we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same:

dourh@2John:1:7 @ For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist.

dourh@2John:1:8 @ Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward.

dourh@2John:1:9 @ Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son.

dourh@2John:1:11 @ For he that saith unto him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works.

dourh@2John:1:12 @ Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you, and speak face to face: that your joy may be full.

dourh@3John:1:2 @ Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously, and fare well as thy soul doth prosperously.

dourh@3John:1:4 @ I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth.

dourh@3John:1:5 @ Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren, and that for strangers,

dourh@3John:1:8 @ We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.

dourh@3John:1:10 @ For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church.

dourh@3John:1:11 @ Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doth good, is of God: he that doth evil, hath not seen God.

dourh@3John:1:12 @ To Demetrius testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself, yea and we also give testimony: and thou knowest that our testimony is true.

dourh@Jude:1:3 @ Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

dourh@Jude:1:5 @ I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not:

dourh@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day.

dourh@Jude:1:7 @ As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

dourh@Jude:1:10 @ But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.

dourh@Jude:1:12 @ These are spots in their banquets, feasting together without fear, feeding themselves, clouds without water, which are carried about by winds, trees of the autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, plucked up by the roots,

dourh@Jude:1:18 @ Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.

dourh@Jude:1:19 @ These are they, who separate themselves, sensual men, having not the Spirit.

dourh@2Macc:8:26 @ Neither shall they give them, whilst they are fighting, or furnish them with wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall obey their orders, without taking any thing of them.

dourh@2Macc:8:27 @ In like manner also if war shall come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall permit them.

dourh@2Macc:8:28 @ And there shall not be given to them that come to their aid, either wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall observe their orders without deceit.

dourh@2Macc:8:30 @ And if after this one party or the other shall have a mind to add to these articles, or take away anything, they may do it at their pleasure: and whatsoever they shall add, or take away, shall be ratified.

dourh@2Macc:8:31 @ Moreover concerning the evils that Demetrius the king hath done against them, we have written to him, saying: Why hast thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends, and allies, the Jews?

dourh@2Macc:9:1 @ In the mean time when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them.

dourh@2Macc:9:2 @ And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people.

dourh@2Macc:9:6 @ And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.

dourh@2Macc:9:7 @ And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged.

dourh@2Macc:9:8 @ Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them.

dourh@2Macc:9:11 @ And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour.

dourh@2Macc:9:13 @ And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.

dourh@2Macc:9:14 @ And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:

dourh@2Macc:9:16 @ And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:

dourh@2Macc:9:17 @ And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.

dourh@2Macc:9:19 @ And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.

dourh@2Macc:9:20 @ And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.

dourh@2Macc:9:21 @ And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!

dourh@2Macc:9:22 @ But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.

dourh@2Macc:9:23 @ And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up.

dourh@2Macc:9:24 @ In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides.

dourh@2Macc:9:27 @ And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel.

dourh@2Macc:9:28 @ And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan:

dourh@2Macc:9:29 @ Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation.

dourh@2Macc:9:30 @ Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles.

dourh@2Macc:9:31 @ So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother.

dourh@2Macc:9:33 @ And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar,

dourh@2Macc:9:34 @ And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day.

dourh@2Macc:9:35 @ And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious.

dourh@2Macc:9:36 @ And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them.

dourh@2Macc:9:37 @ After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp.

dourh@2Macc:9:39 @ And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.

dourh@2Macc:9:41 @ And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation.

dourh@2Macc:9:43 @ And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.

dourh@2Macc:9:44 @ And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.

dourh@2Macc:9:45 @ And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.

dourh@2Macc:9:46 @ Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.

dourh@2Macc:9:47 @ And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards.

dourh@2Macc:9:48 @ And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them:

dourh@2Macc:9:49 @ And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand man: and they returned to Jerusalem,

dourh@2Macc:9:50 @ And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars.

dourh@2Macc:9:51 @ And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel:

dourh@2Macc:9:55 @ At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house.

dourh@2Macc:9:56 @ And Alcimus died at that time in great torment.

dourh@2Macc:9:57 @ And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.

dourh@2Macc:9:58 @ And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night.

dourh@2Macc:9:60 @ And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea, to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them.

dourh@2Macc:9:61 @ And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and slew them.

dourh@2Macc:9:62 @ And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it.

dourh@2Macc:9:63 @ And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea.

dourh@2Macc:9:65 @ But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country: and came with a number of men.

dourh@2Macc:9:67 @ But Simon and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines.

dourh@2Macc:9:69 @ And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country.

dourh@2Macc:9:70 @ And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners.

dourh@2Macc:9:71 @ And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that the would do him no harm all the days of his life.

dourh@2Macc:9:73 @ So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel.

dourh@2Macc:10:2 @ And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.

dourh@2Macc:10:3 @ And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.

dourh@2Macc:10:5 @ For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.

dourh@2Macc:10:6 @ And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.

dourh@2Macc:10:7 @ And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.

dourh@2Macc:10:8 @ And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.

dourh@2Macc:10:9 @ And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.

dourh@2Macc:10:10 @ And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.

dourh@2Macc:10:11 @ And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.

dourh@2Macc:10:12 @ And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.

dourh@2Macc:10:14 @ Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.

dourh@2Macc:10:15 @ And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.

dourh@2Macc:10:16 @ And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.

dourh@2Macc:10:18 @ King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.

dourh@2Macc:10:19 @ We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:

dourh@2Macc:10:20 @ Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.

dourh@2Macc:10:21 @ Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.

dourh@2Macc:10:23 @ What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?

dourh@2Macc:10:24 @ I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.

dourh@2Macc:10:25 @ And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

dourh@2Macc:10:27 @ Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.

dourh@2Macc:10:30 @ And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:

dourh@2Macc:10:41 @ And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.

dourh@2Macc:10:42 @ Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.

dourh@2Macc:10:43 @ And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.

dourh@2Macc:10:46 @ Now when Jonathan, and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them nor received them: because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly.

dourh@2Macc:10:47 @ And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped.

dourh@2Macc:10:48 @ And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.

dourh@2Macc:10:49 @ And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.

dourh@2Macc:10:50 @ And the battle was hard fought till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day.

dourh@2Macc:10:53 @ And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:

dourh@2Macc:10:55 @ And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.

dourh@2Macc:10:56 @ And now I will do to thee as thou hast written: but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said.

dourh@2Macc:10:57 @ So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais in the hundred and sixty-second year.

dourh@2Macc:10:58 @ And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.

dourh@2Macc:10:59 @ And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.

dourh@2Macc:10:62 @ And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.

dourh@2Macc:10:63 @ And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.

dourh@2Macc:10:66 @ And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy.

dourh@2Macc:10:67 @ In the year one hundred and sixty-five Demetrius the son of Demetrius came from Crete into the land of his fathers.

dourh@2Macc:10:69 @ And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,

dourh@2Macc:10:70 @ Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at, and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains.

dourh@2Macc:10:72 @ Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land:

dourh@2Macc:10:73 @ And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to?

dourh@2Macc:10:74 @ Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon his brother met him to help him.

dourh@2Macc:10:76 @ And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.

dourh@2Macc:10:77 @ And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.

dourh@2Macc:10:78 @ And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.

dourh@2Macc:10:79 @ And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.

dourh@2Macc:10:80 @ And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.

dourh@2Macc:10:81 @ But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued.

dourh@2Macc:10:82 @ Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled.

dourh@2Macc:10:83 @ And they that were scattered about the plain, fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon their idol's temple, there to save themselves.

dourh@2Macc:10:84 @ But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were around it, and took the spoils of them, and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire.

dourh@2Macc:10:85 @ So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men.

dourh@2Macc:10:86 @ And Jonathan removed his army from thence, and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour.

dourh@2Macc:10:87 @ And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils.

dourh@2Macc:10:88 @ And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.

dourh@2Macc:11:1 @ And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom.

dourh@2Macc:11:2 @ And he went out into Syria with peaceable words, and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law.

dourh@2Macc:11:4 @ And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way.

dourh@2Macc:11:5 @ And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace.

dourh@2Macc:11:6 @ And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there.

dourh@2Macc:11:7 @ And Jonathan went with the king as far as the river, called Eleutherus: and he returned into Jerusalem.

dourh@2Macc:11:9 @ And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father.

dourh@2Macc:11:10 @ For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me.

dourh@2Macc:11:12 @ And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest.

dourh@2Macc:11:13 @ And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia.

dourh@2Macc:11:14 @ Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled.

dourh@2Macc:11:15 @ And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle, and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight.

dourh@2Macc:11:18 @ And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp.

dourh@2Macc:11:20 @ In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it.

dourh@2Macc:11:21 @ Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle.

dourh@2Macc:11:22 @ And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan, that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him.

dourh@2Macc:11:23 @ But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger.

dourh@2Macc:11:25 @ And certain wicked men of his nation made complaints against him.

dourh@2Macc:11:26 @ And the king treated him as his predecessor had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends.

dourh@2Macc:11:28 @ And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents.

dourh@2Macc:11:29 @ And the king consented: and he wrote letters to Jonathan of all these things to this effect.

dourh@2Macc:11:30 @ King Demetrius to his brother Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

dourh@2Macc:11:31 @ We send you here a copy of the letter, which we have written to Lasthenes our parent concerning you, that you might know it.

dourh@2Macc:11:33 @ We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us.

dourh@2Macc:11:34 @ We have ratified therefore unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees.

dourh@2Macc:11:35 @ And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us.

dourh@2Macc:11:37 @ Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be given to Jonathan, and set upon the holy mountain, in a conspicuous place.

dourh@2Macc:11:38 @ And king Demetrius seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him.

dourh@2Macc:11:39 @ Now there was one Tryphon who had been of Alexander's party before: who seeing that all the army murmured against Demetrius, went to Emalchuel the Arabian, who brought up Antiochus the son of Alexander.

dourh@2Macc:11:40 @ And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days.

dourh@2Macc:11:41 @ And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel.

dourh@2Macc:11:42 @ And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve.

dourh@2Macc:11:44 @ And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming.

dourh@2Macc:11:45 @ And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king.

dourh@2Macc:11:47 @ And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city.

dourh@2Macc:11:48 @ And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.

dourh@2Macc:11:49 @ And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying:

dourh@2Macc:11:51 @ And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils.

dourh@2Macc:11:52 @ So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him.

dourh@2Macc:11:53 @ And he falsified all whatsoever he had said, and alienated himself from Jonathan, and did not reward him according to the benefits he had received from him, but gave him great trouble.

dourh@2Macc:11:57 @ And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends.

dourh@2Macc:11:60 @ Then Jonathan went forth and passed through the cities beyond the river: and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves to him to help him, and he came to Ascalon, and they met him honourably out of the city.

dourh@2Macc:11:61 @ And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils.

dourh@2Macc:11:62 @ And the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country as far as Damascus.

dourh@2Macc:11:63 @ And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom:

dourh@2Macc:11:67 @ And Jonathan, and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor.

dourh@2Macc:11:69 @ And they that lay in ambush arose out of their places, and joined battle.

dourh@2Macc:11:70 @ And all that were on Jonathan's side fled, and none was left of them, but Mathathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, chief captain of the army.

dourh@2Macc:11:71 @ And Jonathan rent his garments, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.

dourh@2Macc:11:72 @ And Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought.

dourh@2Macc:11:73 @ And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies even to Cades to their own camp, and they came even thither.

dourh@2Macc:11:74 @ And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.

dourh@2Macc:12:1 @ And Jonathan saw that the time served him, and he chose certain men and sent them to Rome, to confirm and to renew the amity with them:

dourh@2Macc:12:3 @ And they went to Rome, and entered into the senate house, and said: Jonathan the high priest, and the nation of the Jews have sent us to renew the amity, and alliance as it was before.

dourh@2Macc:12:5 @ And this is a copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Spartans:

dourh@2Macc:12:6 @ Jonathan the high priest, and the ancients of the nation, and the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews, to the Spartans, their brethren, greeting.

dourh@2Macc:12:7 @ There were letters sent long ago to Onias the high priest from Arius who reigned then among you, to signify that you are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.

dourh@2Macc:12:9 @ We, though we needed none of these things, having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands,

dourh@2Macc:12:10 @ Chose rather to send to you to renew the brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers to you altogether: for there is a long time passed since you sent to us.

dourh@2Macc:12:11 @ We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days, wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet, and becoming to remember brethren.

dourh@2Macc:12:12 @ And we rejoice at your glory.

dourh@2Macc:12:13 @ But we have had many troubles and wars on every side, and the kings that are round about us, have fought against us.

dourh@2Macc:12:16 @ We have chosen therefore Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater the son of Jason, and have sent them to the Romans to renew with them the former amity and alliance.

dourh@2Macc:12:21 @ It is found in writing concerning the Spartans, and the Jews, that they are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham.

dourh@2Macc:12:23 @ And we also have written back to you: That our cattle, and our possessions are yours: and yours, ours. We therefore have commanded that these things should be told you.

dourh@2Macc:12:24 @ Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him.

dourh@2Macc:12:25 @ So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country.

dourh@2Macc:12:26 @ And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night.

dourh@2Macc:12:27 @ And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp.

dourh@2Macc:12:28 @ And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, and they were struck with fear, and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp.

dourh@2Macc:12:29 @ But Jonathan and they that were with him knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.

dourh@2Macc:12:30 @ And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus.

dourh@2Macc:12:31 @ And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them.

dourh@2Macc:12:32 @ And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country.

dourh@2Macc:12:34 @ (For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius,) and he put a garrison there to keep it.

dourh@2Macc:12:35 @ And Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people, and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea,

dourh@2Macc:12:36 @ And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell.

dourh@2Macc:12:37 @ And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook towards the east was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha:

dourh@2Macc:12:38 @ And Simon built Adiada in Sephela, and fortified it, and set up gates and bars.

dourh@2Macc:12:40 @ Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan.

dourh@2Macc:12:41 @ And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan.

dourh@2Macc:12:42 @ Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him,

dourh@2Macc:12:44 @ And he said to Jonathan: Why hast thou troubled all the people, whereas we have no war?

dourh@2Macc:12:45 @ Now therefore send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming.

dourh@2Macc:12:46 @ And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda:

dourh@2Macc:12:48 @ Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword.

dourh@2Macc:12:49 @ Then Tryphon sent an army and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain to destroy all Jonathan's company.

dourh@2Macc:12:50 @ But they, when they understood that Jonathan and all that were with him were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle.

dourh@2Macc:12:51 @ Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back.

dourh@2Macc:12:52 @ Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda. And they bewailed Jonathan, and them that had been with him, exceedingly: and Israel mourned with great lamentation.

dourh@2Macc:12:53 @ Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them. For they said:

dourh@2Macc:13:1 @ Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army, to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it.

dourh@2Macc:13:2 @ And seeing that the people was in dread, and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people:

dourh@2Macc:13:3 @ And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen:

dourh@2Macc:13:6 @ I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice.

dourh@2Macc:13:8 @ And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.

dourh@2Macc:13:9 @ Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us.

dourh@2Macc:13:10 @ So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.

dourh@2Macc:13:11 @ And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.

dourh@2Macc:13:12 @ And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody.

dourh@2Macc:13:14 @ And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him,

dourh@2Macc:13:15 @ Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of.

dourh@2Macc:13:16 @ But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him.

dourh@2Macc:13:17 @ Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:

dourh@2Macc:13:19 @ So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.

dourh@2Macc:13:20 @ And after this Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went.

dourh@2Macc:13:21 @ And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and sent them victuals.

dourh@2Macc:13:22 @ And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.

dourh@2Macc:13:23 @ And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.

dourh@2Macc:13:25 @ And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.

dourh@2Macc:13:26 @ And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.

dourh@2Macc:13:27 @ And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:

dourh@2Macc:13:28 @ And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:

dourh@2Macc:13:29 @ And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.

dourh@2Macc:13:30 @ This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.

dourh@2Macc:13:32 @ And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land.

dourh@2Macc:13:33 @ And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses.

dourh@2Macc:13:34 @ And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.

dourh@2Macc:13:36 @ King Demetrius to Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

dourh@2Macc:13:37 @ The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released.

dourh@2Macc:13:38 @ For all that we have decreed in your favour, shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own.

dourh@2Macc:13:42 @ And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon the high priest, the great captain and prince of the Jews.

dourh@2Macc:13:44 @ And they that were within the engine leaped into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city.

dourh@2Macc:13:45 @ And they that were in the city went up with their wives and children upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.

dourh@2Macc:13:48 @ And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation.

dourh@2Macc:13:49 @ But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine.

dourh@2Macc:13:51 @ And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel.

dourh@2Macc:13:52 @ And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness.

dourh@2Macc:13:53 @ And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him.

dourh@2Macc:13:54 @ And Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara.

dourh@2Macc:14:2 @ And Arsaces the king of Persia and Media heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him.

dourh@2Macc:14:3 @ And he went and defeated the army of Demetrius: and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, and he put him into custody.

dourh@2Macc:14:6 @ And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country.

dourh@2Macc:14:7 @ And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it and there was none that resisted him.

dourh@2Macc:14:9 @ The ancient men sat all in the streets, and treated together of the good things of the land, and the young men put on them glory, and the robes of war.

dourh@2Macc:14:10 @ And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth.

dourh@2Macc:14:11 @ He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy.

dourh@2Macc:14:12 @ And every man sat under his vine, and under his fig tree: and there was none to make them afraid.

dourh@2Macc:14:14 @ And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man.

dourh@2Macc:14:21 @ The ambassadors that were sent to our people, have told us of your glory, and honour, and joy: and we rejoice at their coming.

dourh@2Macc:14:22 @ And we registered what was said by them in the councils of the people in this manner: Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater the son of Jason, ambassadors of the Jews, came to us to renew the former friendship with us.

dourh@2Macc:14:24 @ And after this Simon sent Numenius to Rome, with a great shield of gold the weight of a thousand pounds, to confirm the league with them. And when the people of Rome had heard

dourh@2Macc:14:25 @ These words, they said: What thanks shall we give to Simon, and his sons?

dourh@2Macc:14:26 @ For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion.

dourh@2Macc:14:27 @ And this is a copy of the writing: The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the year one hundred and seventy-two, being the third year under Simon the high priest at Asaramel,

dourh@2Macc:14:28 @ In a great assembly of the priests, and of the people, and the princes of the nation, and the ancients of the country, these things were notified: Forasmuch as there have often been wars in our country,

dourh@2Macc:14:29 @ And Simon the son of Mathathias of the children of Jarib, and his brethren have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory.

dourh@2Macc:14:30 @ And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people.

dourh@2Macc:14:32 @ Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages:

dourh@2Macc:14:33 @ And he fortified the cities of Judea, and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews.

dourh@2Macc:14:34 @ And he fortified Joppe which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation.

dourh@2Macc:14:35 @ And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince, and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice, and faith, which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people.

dourh@2Macc:14:36 @ And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity.

dourh@2Macc:14:39 @ According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory.

dourh@2Macc:14:40 @ For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon's ambassadors with honour:

dourh@2Macc:14:47 @ And Simon accepted thereof, and was well pleased to execute the office of the high priesthood, and to be captain, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests, and to be chief over all.

dourh@2Macc:14:48 @ And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place:

dourh@2Macc:14:49 @ And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon and his sons may have it.

dourh@2Macc:15:1 @ And king Antiochus the son of Demetrius sent letters from the isles of the sea to Simon the priest, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and to all the people:

dourh@2Macc:15:2 @ And the contents were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

dourh@2Macc:15:3 @ Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge the kingdom, and to restore it to its former estate: and I have chosen a great army, and have built ships of war.

dourh@2Macc:15:4 @ And I design to go through the country that I may take revenge of them that have destroyed our country, and that have made many cities desolate in my realm.

dourh@2Macc:15:5 @ Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which all the kings before me remitted to thee, and what other gifts soever they remitted to thee:

dourh@2Macc:15:7 @ And let Jerusalem be holy and free, and all the armour that hath been made, and the fortresses which thou hast built, and which thou keepest in thy hands, let them remain to thee.

dourh@2Macc:15:8 @ And all that is due to the king, and what should be the king's hereafter, from this present and for ever, is forgiven thee.

dourh@2Macc:15:9 @ And when we shall have recovered our kingdom, we will glorify thee, and thy nation, and the temple with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth.

dourh@2Macc:15:10 @ In the year one hundred and seventy-four Antiochus entered into the land of this fathers, and all the forces assembled to him, so that few were left with Tryphon.

dourh@2Macc:15:12 @ For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him.

dourh@2Macc:15:15 @ And Numenius, and they that had been with him, came from the city of Rome, having letters written to the kings, and countries, the contents whereof were these:

dourh@2Macc:15:19 @ It hath seemed good therefore to us to write to the kings, and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries: and that they should give no aid to them that fight against them.

dourh@2Macc:15:20 @ And it hath seemed good to us to received the shield of them.

dourh@2Macc:15:21 @ If therefore any pestilent men are fled out of their country to you, deliver them to Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their law.

dourh@2Macc:15:22 @ These same things were written to king Demetrius, and to Attalus, and to Ariarathes, and to Arsaces,

dourh@2Macc:15:25 @ But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out.

dourh@2Macc:15:27 @ And he would not receive them, but broke all the covenant that he had made with him before, and alienated himself from him.

dourh@2Macc:15:28 @ And he sent to him Athenobius one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom:

dourh@2Macc:15:29 @ Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havock in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.

dourh@2Macc:15:30 @ Now therefore deliver up the cities that you have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you have gotten the dominion without the borders of Judea.

dourh@2Macc:15:31 @ But if not, give me for them five hundred talents of silver, and for the havock that you have made, and the tributes of the cities other five hundred talents: or else we will come and fight against you.

dourh@2Macc:15:32 @ So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words.

dourh@2Macc:15:33 @ And Simon answered him, and said to him: We have neither taken other men's land, neither do we hold that which is other men's: but the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies.

dourh@2Macc:15:34 @ But we having opportunity claim the inheritance of our fathers.

dourh@2Macc:15:35 @ And as to thy complaints concerning Joppe and Gazara, they did great harm to the people, and to our country: yet for these we will give a hundred talents. And Athenobius answered him not a word:

dourh@2Macc:15:36 @ But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry.

dourh@2Macc:15:39 @ And he commanded him to march with his army towards Judea: and he commanded him to build up Gedor, and to fortify the gates of the city, and to war against the people. But the king himself pursued after Tryphon.

dourh@2Macc:15:41 @ And he placed there horsemen, and an army: that they might issue forth, and make incursions upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.

dourh@2Macc:16:1 @ Then John came up from Gazara, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done against their people.

dourh@2Macc:16:2 @ And Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said to them: I and my brethren, and my father's house, have fought against the enemies of Israel from our youth even to this day: and things have prospered so well in our hands that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.

dourh@2Macc:16:3 @ And now I am old, but be you instead of me, and my brethren, and go out, and fight for our nation: and the help from heaven be with you.

dourh@2Macc:16:5 @ And they arose in the morning, and went into the plain: and behold a very great army of footmen and horsemen came against them, and there was a running river between them.

dourh@2Macc:16:6 @ And he and his people pitched their camp over against them, and he saw that the people were afraid to go over the river, so he went over first: then the men seeing him, passed over after him.

dourh@2Macc:16:9 @ At that time Judas John's brother was wounded: but John pursued after them, till he came to Cedron, which he had built:

dourh@2Macc:16:10 @ And they fled even to the towers that were in the fields of Azotus, and he burnt them with fire. And there fell of them two thousand men, and he returned into Judea in peace.

dourh@2Macc:16:14 @ Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath.

dourh@2Macc:16:15 @ And the son of Abobus received them deceitfully into a little fortress, that is called Doch which he had built: and he made them a great feast, and hid men there.

dourh@2Macc:16:17 @ And he committed a great treachery in Israel, and rendered evil for good.

dourh@2Macc:16:18 @ And Ptolemee wrote these things and sent to the king that he should send him an army to aid him, and he would deliver him the country, and their cities, and tributes.

dourh@2Macc:16:19 @ And he sent others to Gazara to kill John: and to the tribunes he sent letters to come to him, and that he would give them silver, and gold, and gifts.

dourh@2Macc:16:21 @ Now one running before, told John in Gazara, that his father and his brethren were slain, and that he hath sent men to kill thee also.

dourh@2Macc:16:22 @ But when he heard it he was exceedingly afraid: and he apprehended the men that came to kill him, and he put them to death: for he knew that they sought to make him away.

dourh@2Macc:16:23 @ And as concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and the worthy deeds, which he bravely achieved, and the building of the walls, which he made, and the things that he did:

dourh@2Macc:16:24 @ Behold these are written in the book of the days of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:1 @ To the brethren the Jews that are I throughout Egypt, the brethren, the Jews that are in Jerusalem, and in the land of Judea, send health, and good peace.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:2 @ May God be gracious to you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants:

dourh@AddDaniel:1:3 @ And give you all a heart to worship him, and to do his will with a great heart, and a willing mind.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:7 @ When Demetrius reigned, in the year one hundred and sixty-nine, we Jews wrote to you, in the trouble, and violence, that came upon us in those years, after Jason withdrew himself from the holy land, and from the kingdom.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:8 @ They burnt the gate, and shed innocent blood: then we prayed to the Lord, and were heard, and we offered sacrifices, and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the leaves.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:9 @ And now celebrate ye the days of Scenopegia in the month of Casleu.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:10 @ In the year Bone hundred and eighty- eight, the people that is at Jerusalem, and in Judea, and the senate, and Judas, to Aristobolus, the preceptor of king Ptolemee, who is of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that are in Egypt, health and welfare.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:11 @ Having been delivered by God out of great dangers, we give him great thanks, forasmuch as we have been in war with such a king.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:12 @ For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia that have fought against us, and the holy city.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:13 @ For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:14 @ For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:16 @ When Antiochus was came in: and opening a secret entrance of the temple, they cast stones and slew the leader, and them that were with him, and hewed them in pieces, and cutting off their heads they threw them forth.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:17 @ Blessed be God in all things, who hath delivered up the wicked.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:18 @ Therefore whereas we purpose to keep the purification of the temple on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, we thought it necessary to signify it to you: that you also may keep the day of Scenopegia, and the day of the fire, that was given when Nehemias offered sacrifice, after the temple and the altar was built.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:19 @ For when our fathers were led in Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe,

dourh@AddDaniel:1:20 @ But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:21 @ Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest Nehemias commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:22 @ And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:23 @ And all the priests made prayer, while the sacrifice was consuming, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:24 @ And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: 0 Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the goad king,

dourh@AddDaniel:1:25 @ Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them:

dourh@AddDaniel:1:27 @ Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:28 @ Punish them that oppress us, and that treat us injuriously with pride.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:29 @ Establish thy people in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:31 @ And when the sacrifice was consumed, Nehemias commanded the water that was left to be poured out upon the great stones.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:32 @ Which being done, there -was kindled a dame from them: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:33 @ And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:34 @ And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:36 @ And Nehemias called this place Nephthar, which is interpreted purification. But many call it Nephi.

dourh@AddDaniel:1:90 @ that the place was unknown to all men.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:1 @ Now it is found in the descriptions of Jeremias the prophet, that he commanded them that went into captivity, to take the fire, as it hath been signified, and how he gave charge to them that were carried away into captivity.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:2 @ And how he gave them the law that they should not forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, seeing the idols of gold, and silver, and the ornaments of them.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:3 @ And with other such like speeches, he exhorted them that they would not remove the law from their heart.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:4 @ It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain " where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:6 @ Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not And it.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:7 @ And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:8 @ And then the Lord will shew these things, and the majesty of the Lord shall appear, and there shall be a cloud as it was also shewed to Moses, "and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:9 @ For he treated wisdom in a magnificent manner: and like a wise man, he offered the sacrifice of the dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:11 @ And Moses said: Because the sin offering was not eaten, it was consumed.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:12 @ So Solomon also celebrated the dedication eight days.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:13 @ And these same things were set down in the memoirs and commentaries of Nehemias: and how he made a library, and gathered together out of the countries, the books both of the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings. and concerning the holy gifts.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:14 @ And in like manner Judas also gathered together all such things as were lost by the war we had, and they are in our possession.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:15 @ Wherefore if you want these things, send some that may fetch them to you.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:16 @ As we are then about to celebrate the purification, we have written unto you: and you shall do well, if you keep the same days.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:17 @ And we hope that God who hath delivered his people, and hath rendered to all the inheritance, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,

dourh@AddDaniel:2:18 @ As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and will gather us together from every land under heaven into the holy place.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:19 @ For he hath delivered us out of great perils, and hath cleansed the place.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:20 @ Now as concerning Judas Machabeus. and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication o the altar:

dourh@AddDaniel:2:24 @ And all such things as have been comprised in five books by Jason of Cyrene, we have attempted to abridge in one book.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:25 @ For considering the multitude of books, and the difficulty that they find that desire to undertake the narrations of histories, because of the multitude of the matter,

dourh@AddDaniel:2:26 @ We have taken care for those indeed that are willing to read, that it might be a pleasure of mind: and for the studious, that they may more easily commit to memory: and that all that read might receive profit.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:27 @ And as to ourselves indeed, in under- taking this work of abridging, we have taken in hand no easy task, yea rather a business full of watching and sweat.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:28 @ But as they that prepare a feast, and seek to satisfy the will of others: for the sake of many, we willingly undergo the labour.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:30 @ For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged for us.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:31 @ For to collect all that is to be known, to put the discourse in order, and curiously to discuss every particular point, is the duty of the author of a history:

dourh@AddDaniel:2:32 @ But to pursue brevity of speech, and to avoid nice declarations of things, is to be granted to him that maketh an abridgment.

dourh@AddDaniel:2:33 @ Here then we will begin the narration: let this be enough by way of a preface: for it is a foolish thing to make a long prologue, and to be short in the story itself.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:1 @ Therefore when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws as yet were very well kept, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and the hatred his soul had of evil,

dourh@AddDaniel:3:2 @ It came to pass that even the kings themselves, and the princes esteemed the place worthy of the highest honour, and glorified the temple with very great gifts:

dourh@AddDaniel:3:3 @ So that Seleucus king of Asia allowed out of his revenues all the charges be- longing to the ministry of the sacrifices.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:5 @ And when he could not overcome Onias he went to Apollonius the son of Tharseas, who at that time was governor of Celesyria and Phenicia:

dourh@AddDaniel:3:6 @ And told him, that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of immense sums of money, and the common store was infinite, which did not belong to the account of the sacrifices: and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hands.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:7 @ Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:9 @ And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received in the city by the high priest, he told him what information had been given concerning the money: and declared the cause for which he was come: and asked if these things were so indeed.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:10 @ Then the high priest told him that these were sums deposited, and provisions for the subsistence of the widows and the fatherless.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:11 @ And that some part of that which wicked Simon had given intelligence of, belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity: and that the whole was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:

dourh@AddDaniel:3:12 @ But that to deceive them who had trusted to the place and temple which is honoured throughout the whole world, for the reverence and holiness of it, was a thing which could not by any means be done.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:13 @ But he, by reason of the orders he had received from the king, said that by:all means the money must be carried to the king.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:14 @ So on the day he had appointed, Heliodorus entered in to order this mat- tar. But there was no small terror throughout the whole city.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:15 @ And the priests prostrated them- selves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:17 @ For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:18 @ Others also came hocking together out of their houses, praying and making public supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:19 @ And the women, girded with haircloth about their breasts, came together in the streets. And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:20 @ And all holding up their hands towards heaven, made supplication.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:21 @ For the expectation of the mixed multitude, and of the high priest who was in an agony, would have moved any one to pity.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:22 @ And these indeed called upon al- mighty God, to preserve the things that had been committed to them, safe and sure for those that had committed them.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:23 @ But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:24 @ But the spirit of the almighty God gave a great evidence of his presence, so that all that had presumed to obey him, falling down by the power of God, were struck with fainting and dread.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:25 @ For there appeared to them a horse with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:27 @ Arid Heliodorus suddenly fell to the ground, and they took him up covered with great darkness, and having put him into a litter they carried him out.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:28 @ So he that came with many servants, and all his guard into the aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the manifest power of God being known.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:30 @ But they praised the Lord because he had glorified his place: and the temple, that a little before was full of fear and trouble, when the almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:31 @ Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:32 @ So the high priest considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:33 @ And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:34 @ And thou having been scourged by God, declare unto all men the great works and the power of God. And having spoken thus, they appeared no more.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:35 @ So Heliodorus after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:36 @ And he testified to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his own eyes.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:38 @ If thou hast any enemy or traitor to thy kingdom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God.

dourh@AddDaniel:3:39 @ For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor, and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:2 @ And he presumed to call him a traitor to the kingdom, who provided for the city, and defended his nation, and wed zealous for the law of God.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:3 @ But when the enmities proceeded so far, that murders also were committed by some of Simon's friends:

dourh@AddDaniel:4:4 @ Onias considering the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, who was the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, was outrageous, which increased the malice of Simon, went to the king,

dourh@AddDaniel:4:6 @ For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:7 @ But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, who was called the Illustrious, had taken possession of the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias ambitiously sought the high priesthood:

dourh@AddDaniel:4:9 @ Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, and a place for youth, and to entitle them, that were at Jerusalem, Antiochians.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:10 @ Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten the rule into his hands, forthwith he began to bring over his countrymen to the fashion of the heathens.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:11 @ And abolishing those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings in behalf of the Jews, by the means of John the father of that Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome to make amity and alliance, he disannulled the lawful ordinances of the citizens, and brought in fashions that were perverse.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:13 @ Now this was not the beginning, but an increase, and progress of heathenish and foreign manners, through the abominable and unheard of wickedness of Jason, that impious wretch and no priest.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:14 @ Insomuch that the priests were not now occupied about the offices of the altar, but despising the temple and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the games, and of the unlawful allowance thereof, and of the exercise of the discus.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:15 @ And setting nought by the honours of their fathers, they esteemed the Grecian glories for the best:

dourh@AddDaniel:4:18 @ Now when the game that was used every fifth year was kept at Tyre, the king being present,

dourh@AddDaniel:4:20 @ So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:21 @ Now when Apollonius the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem:

dourh@AddDaniel:4:25 @ So having received the king's man- date, he returned bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood: but having the mind of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:27 @ So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king he took no care, when Sostratus the governor of the castle called for

dourh@AddDaniel:4:28 @ For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:29 @ And Menelaus was removed from the priesthood, Lysimachus his brother succeeding: and Sostratus was made governor of the Cyprians.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:30 @ When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus and Mallos raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochis, the king's concubine.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:32 @ Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:33 @ Which when Onias understood most certainly, he reproved him, keeping him- self in a safe place at Antioch beside Daphne.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:34 @ Whereupon Menelaus coming to Andronicus, desired him to kill Onias. And he went to Onias, and gave him his right hand with an oath, and (though he were suspected by him) persuaded him to come forth out of the sanctuary, and immediately slew him, without any regard to justice.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:35 @ For which cause not only the Jews, but also the other nations, conceived indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of so great a man.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:36 @ And when the king was come back from the places of Cilicia, the Jews that were at Antioch, and also the Creaks went to him: complaining of the unjust murder of Onias.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:38 @ And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:39 @ Now when many sacrileges had been committed by Lysimachus in the temple by the counsel of Menelaus, and the rumour of it was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, a great quantity of gold being already carried away.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:41 @ But when they perceived the attempt of Lysimachus, some caught up stones, some strong clubs: and some threw ashes upon Lysimachus,

dourh@AddDaniel:4:43 @ Now concerning these matters, an accusation was laid against Menelaus.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:47 @ So Menelaus who was guilty of all the evil, was acquitted by him of the accusations: and those poor men, who, if they had pleaded their cause even before Scythians, should have been judged innocent, were condemned to death.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:48 @ Thus they that prosecuted the cause for the city, and for the people, and the sacred vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:49 @ Wherefore even the Tyrians being moved with indignation, were liberal towards their burial.

dourh@AddDaniel:4:50 @ And so through the covetousness of them that were in power, Menelaus continued in authority, increasing in malice to the betraying of the citizens.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:1 @ At the same time Antiochus prepared for a second journey into Egypt.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:2 @ And it came to pass that through the whole city of Jerusalem for the space of forty days there were seen horsemen running in the air, in gilded raiment, and armed with spears, like bands of soldiers.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:4 @ Wherefore all men prayed that these prodigies might turn to good.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:5 @ Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though Antiochus had been dead, Jason taking with him no fewer than a thousand men, suddenly assaulted the city: and though the citizens ran together to the wall, the city at length was taken, and Menelaus fled into the castle.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:6 @ But Jason slew his countrymen without mercy, not considering that prosperity against one's own kindred is a very great evil, thinking they had been enemies, and not citizens, whom he conquered.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:7 @ Yet he did not gee the principality, but received confusion at tile end, for the reward of his treachery, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:8 @ At the last having been shut up by Aretas the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws, and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt:

dourh@AddDaniel:5:9 @ And he that had driven many out of their country, perished in a strange land, going to Lacedemon, as if for kindred sake he should have refuge there:

dourh@AddDaniel:5:10 @ But he that had cast out many unburied, was himself cast forth both unlamented and unburied, neither having foreign burial, nor being partaker of the sepulchre of his fathers.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:11 @ Now when these things were done, the king suspected that the Jews would forsake the alliance: whereupon departing out of Egypt with a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:12 @ And commanded the soldiers to kill, and not to spare any that came in their way, and to go up into the houses slay.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:15 @ But this was not enough; he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world, Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:17 @ Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that God was angry for a while, because of the sins of the habitants of the city: and therefore contempt had happened to the place:

dourh@AddDaniel:5:20 @ And therefore the place also itself was made partaker of the evils of the people: but afterward shall communicate in the good things thereof, and as it was forsaken in the wrath of almighty God, shall be exalted again with great glory, when the great Lord shall be reconciled.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:21 @ So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride, that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:22 @ He left also governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, a Phrygian by birth, but in manners more barbarous than he that set him there:

dourh@AddDaniel:5:24 @ And whereas he was set against the Jews, he sent that hateful prince Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand men, commanding him to kill all that were of perfect age, and to sell the women and the younger sort.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:25 @ Who when he was come to Jerusalem, pretending peace, rested till the holy day of the sabbath: and then the Jews keeping holiday, he commanded his men to take arms.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:26 @ And he slew all that were come forth to see: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude.

dourh@AddDaniel:5:27 @ But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:1 @ But not long after the king sent a certain old man of Antioch, to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers and of God:

dourh@AddDaniel:6:2 @ And to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that in Gazarim of Jupiter Hospitalis, according as they were that inhabited the place.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:4 @ For the temple was full of the riot and revellings of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:6 @ And neither were the sabbaths kept, nor the solemn days of the fathers observed, neither did any man plainly profess himself to be a Jew.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:8 @ And there went out a decree into the neighbouring cities of the Gentiles, by the suggestion of the Ptolemeans, that they also should act in like manner against the Jews, to oblige them to sacrifice:

dourh@AddDaniel:6:9 @ And whosoever would not conform themselves to the ways of the Gentiles, should be put to death: then was misery to be seen.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:10 @ For two women were accused to have circumcised their children: whom, when they had openly led about through the city with the infants hanging at their breasts, they threw down headlong from the walls.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:11 @ And others that had met together in caves that were near, and were keeping the sabbath day privately, being discovered by Philip, were burnt with fire, because they made a conscience to help themselves with their hands, by reason of the religious observance of the day.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:12 @ Now I beseech those that shall read this book, that they be not shocked at these calamities, but that they consider the things that happened, not as being for the destruction, but for the correction of our nation.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:13 @ For it is a token of great goodness when sinners are not suffered to go on in their ways for a long time, but are presently punished.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:14 @ For, not as with other nations (whom the Lord patiently expecteth, that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fulness of their sins:)

dourh@AddDaniel:6:17 @ But let this suffice in a few words for a warning to the readers. And now we must come to the narration.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:18 @ Eleazar one of the chief of the scribes, a man advanced in years, and of a comely countenance, was pressed to open his mouth to eat swine's flesh.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:19 @ But he, choosing rather a most glorious death than a hateful life, went forward voluntarily to the torment.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:20 @ And considering in what manner he was come to ii;, patiently bearing, he determined not to do any unlawful things for the love of life.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:21 @ But they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought, which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded of the flesh of the sacrifice:

dourh@AddDaniel:6:22 @ That by so doing he might be delivered from death: and for the sake of their old friendship with the man they did him this courtesy.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:23 @ But he began to consider the dignity of his age, and his ancient years, and the inbred honour of his grey head, and his good life and conversation from a child: and he answered without delay, according to the ordinances of the holy law made by God, saying, that he would rather be sent into the other world.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:24 @ For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble: whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens:

dourh@AddDaniel:6:25 @ And so they, through my dissimulation, and for a little time of a corruptible life, should be deceived, end hereby I should bring a stain and a curse upon my old age.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:28 @ And I shall leave an example of fortitude to young men, if with a ready mind and constancy I suffer an honourable death, for the most venerable and most holy laws. And having spoken thus, he was forthwith carried to execution.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:29 @ And they that led him, and had been a little before more mild, were changed to wrath for the words he had spoken, which they thought were uttered out of arrogancy.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:30 @ But when he was now ready to die with the stripes, he groaned, and said: O Lord, who hast the holy knowledge, thou knowest manifestly that whereas I might be delivered from death, I suffer grevious pains in body: but in soul am well content to suffer these things be- cause I fear thee.

dourh@AddDaniel:6:31 @ Thus did this man die, leaving not only to young men, but also to the whole nation, the memory of his death for an example of virtue and fortitude.

dourh@AddDaniel:7:1 @ To came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:2 @ But one of them, who was the eldest, said thus: What wouldst thou ask, or learn of us? we are ready to die rather than to transgress the laws of God, received from our fathers.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:3 @ Then the king being angry commanded fryingpans, and brazen caldrons to be made hot: which forthwith being heated,

dourh@AddDaniel:8:4 @ He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren, and his mother, looking on.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:7 @ So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a, mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:9 @ And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:12 @ So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:14 @ And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him: for, as to thee thou shalt have no resurrection unto life.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:16 @ Said: Whereas thou hast power among men, though thou art corruptible, thou dost what thou wilt: but think not that our nation is forsaken by God.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:17 @ But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:18 @ After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us:

dourh@AddDaniel:8:19 @ But do not think that thou s escape unpunished, for that thou attempted to fight against God.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:20 @ Now the mother was to be ad above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God:

dourh@AddDaniel:8:22 @ She said to them: I know not how you were formed in my womb: for I neither gave you breath, nor soul, nor life, neither did I frame the limbs of every one of you.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:23 @ But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will re- store to you again in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise your- selves for the sake of his laws.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:24 @ Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:26 @ And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised that she would counsel her son.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:27 @ So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said her own language: My son, have pi upon me, that bore thee nine months my womb, and save thee suck years, and nourished thee, and b thee up unto this age.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:28 @ I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them: and consider that God made the out of nothing, and mankind also:

dourh@AddDaniel:8:29 @ So thou shalt not fear this tormentor, but being made a worthy partner with thy brethren, receive death, that in that mercy I may receive thee again with thy brethren.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:31 @ But thou that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hand of God.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:37 @ But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:38 @ But in me and in my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which hath justly been brought upon all our nation, shall cease.

dourh@AddDaniel:8:39 @ Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:1 @ But Judas Machabeus, and they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:2 @ And they called upon the Lord that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all, and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:3 @ That he would have pity also upon the city that was destroyed, that was ready to be made even with the ground, and would hear the voice of the blood that cried to him:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:4 @ That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:5 @ Now when Machabeus had gathered a multitude, he could not be withstood by the heathens: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:8 @ Then Philip, seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:9 @ And he with all speed sent Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:10 @ And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:11 @ Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance, which was to follow him from the Almighty.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:12 @ Now when Judas found that Nicanor was coming, he imparted to the Jews that were with him, that the enemy was at hand.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:14 @ Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord, that he would deliver them from the wicked Nicanor, who had sold them before he came near them:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:15 @ And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:16 @ But Machabeus calling together seven thousand that were with him, exhorted them not to be reconciled to the enemies, nor to fear the multitude of the enemies who came wrongfully against them, but to fight manfully:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:17 @ Setting before their eyes the injury they had unjustly done the holy place, and also the injury they had done to the city, which had been shamefully abused, besides their destroying the ordinances of the fathers.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:18 @ For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:19 @ Moreover he put them in mind also of the helps their fathers had received from God: and how under Sennacherib a hundred and eighty-five thousand had been destroyed.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:20 @ And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians in Babylonia, how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and Macedonians their companions were a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:21 @ With these words they were greatly encouraged, and disposed even to die for the laws and their country.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:22 @ So he appointed his brethren cap over each division of his army, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving to one fifteen hundred men.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:23 @ And after the holy Book had been read to them by Esdras, and he had given them for a watchword, The help of God: himself leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:24 @ And the Almighty being their helper, they slew above nine thousand men: and having wounded and disabled the greater part of Nicanor's army, they obliged them to fly.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:25 @ And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:26 @ But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:27 @ But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:28 @ Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows: and the rest they took for themselves and their servants.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:29 @ When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled to his servants unto the end.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:30 @ Moreover they slew above twenty thousand of them that were with Timotheus and Bacchides who fought them, and they made themselves masters of the high strong holds: and they divided amongst them many spoils, giving equal portions to the feeble, the fatherless and the widows, yea and the aged also.

dourh@AddDaniel:9:31 @ And when they had carefully gathered together their arms, they laid them all up in convenient places, and the residue of their spoils they carried to Jerusalem:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:33 @ And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties:

dourh@AddDaniel:9:34 @ But as for that most wicked man Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to the sale of the Jews,

dourh@AddDaniel:9:36 @ And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:1 @ At that time Antiochus returned with dishonour out of Persia.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:2 @ For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city: but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight returned with disgrace.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:3 @ Now when he was come about Ecbatana, he received the news of what had happened to Nicanor and Timotheus.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:4 @ And swelling with anger he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:5 @ But the Lord the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an in- curable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:7 @ Moreover being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:8 @ Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself:

dourh@AddDaniel:10:9 @ So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:10 @ And the man that thought a little to before he could reach the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:11 @ And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment

dourh@AddDaniel:10:12 @ And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:15 @ And the Jews whom he said he would not account worthy to be so much as buried, but would give them up to be devoured by the birds and wild beasts, and would utterly destroy them with their children, he now promiseth to make equal with the Athenians.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:17 @ Yea also, that he would become a Jew himself, and would go through every place of the earth, and declare the power of God.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:18 @ But his pains not ceasing (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life he wrote to the Jews in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words:

dourh@AddDaniel:10:20 @ If you and your children are well, and if all matters go with you to your mind, we give very great thanks.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:22 @ Not distrusting my life, but having great hope to escape the sickness.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:23 @ But considering that my father also, at what time she led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him:

dourh@AddDaniel:10:24 @ To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or ally bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:25 @ Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes and borderers wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:26 @ I pray you therefore, and request of you, that remembering favours both public and private, you will every man of you continue to be faithful to me and to my son.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:27 @ For I trust that he will behave with I moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:28 @ Thus the murderer and blasphemer, being grievously struck, as himself had treated others, died a miserable death in a strange country among the mountains.

dourh@AddDaniel:10:29 @ But Philip that was brought up with him, carried away his body: and out of fear of the son of Antiochus, went into Egypt to Ptolemee Philometor.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:1 @ But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:2 @ But he threw down the altars, which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:4 @ And when they had done these things, they besought the Lord, lying prostrate on the ground, that they might no more fall into such evils; but if they should at any time sin, that they might be chastised by him more gently, and not be delivered up to barbarians and blasphemous men.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:5 @ Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers, on the very same day it was cleansed again, to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:6 @ And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:7 @ Therefore they now, carried boughs, and green branches, and palms for Him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:8 @ And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:9 @ And this was the end of Antiochus that was called the Illustrious.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:10 @ But now we will relate the acts of Eupator the son of that wicked Antiochus, abridging the account of the evils that happened in the wars.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:12 @ For Ptolemee that was called Macer, was determined to be strictly just to the Jews, and especially by reason of the wrong that had been done them, and to deal peaceably with them.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:13 @ But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:15 @ And the Jews that occupied the most commodious hold, received those that were driven out of Jerusalem, and at- tempted to make war.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:16 @ Then they that were with Machabeus, beseeching the Lord by prayers to be their helper, made a strong attack upon the strong holds of the Idumeans:

dourh@AddDaniel:11:17 @ And assaulting them with great force, won the holds, killed them that came in the way, and slew altogether no fewer than twenty thousand.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:19 @ Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:20 @ Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded For the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:21 @ But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:22 @ So he put these traitors to death, and forthwith took the two towers.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:25 @ But Machabeus and they that were with him, when he drew near, prayed to the Lord, sprinkling earth upon their heads and girding their loins with hair- cloth,

dourh@AddDaniel:11:26 @ And lying prostrate at the foot of the altar, besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law saith.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:28 @ But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having with their valour the Lord for a surety o victory and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:29 @ But when they were in the heat of the engagement there appeared to the enemies from heaven five men upon horses, comely with golden bridles, con- ducting the Jews:

dourh@AddDaniel:11:30 @ Two of whom took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe: but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:33 @ Then Machabeus, and they that were with him, cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:34 @ But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:35 @ But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage got up upon it.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:36 @ Moreover others also getting up after them, went to set Are to the towers and the gates, and to burn the blasphemers alive.

dourh@AddDaniel:11:38 @ And when this was done, they blessed the Lord with hymns and thanksgiving, who had done great things in Israel, and given them the victory.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:1 @ A short time after this Lysias the king's lieutenant, and cousin, and who had chief charge over all the affairs, being greatly displeased with what had happened,

dourh@AddDaniel:12:2 @ Gathered together fourscore thousand men, and all the horsemen, and came against the Jews, thinking to take the city, and make it a habitation of the Gentiles:

dourh@AddDaniel:12:5 @ So he came into Judea, and approaching to Bethsura, which was in a narrow place, the space of five furlongs from Jerusalem, he laid siege to that fortress.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:6 @ But when Machabeus and they that were with him, understood that the strong holds were besieged, they and all the people besought the Lord with lamentations and tears, that he would send a good angel to save Israel.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:8 @ And when they were going forth together with a willing mind, there appeared at Jerusatem a horseman going before them in white clothing, with golden armour, shaking a spear.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:9 @ Then they all together blessed merciful Lord, and took great courage, being ready to break through not only men, but also the fiercest beasts, walls of iron.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:13 @ And as he was a man of understanding considering with himself, the loss he had suffered, and perceiving that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because they relied upon the help of the Almighty God, he sent to them:

dourh@AddDaniel:12:14 @ And promised that he would agree to all things that are just, and that he would persuade the king to be their friend.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:15 @ Then Machabeus consented to the request of Lysias, providing for the common Food in all things, and whatsoever Machabeus wrote to Lysias concerning the Jews, the king allowed of.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:17 @ John and Abesalom who were sent from you, delivering your writings, re- quested that I would accomplish those things which were signified by them.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:18 @ Therefore whatsoever things could be reported to the king I have represented to him: and he hath granted as much as the matter permitted.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:20 @ But as concerning other particulars, I have given orders by word both to these, and to them that are sent by me, to commune with you.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:23 @ Our father being translated amongst the gods, we are desirous that they that are in our realm should live quietly, and apply themselves diligently to their own concerns,

dourh@AddDaniel:12:24 @ And we have heard that the Jews would not consent to my father to turn to the rites of the Greeks, but that they would keep to their own manner of living, and therefore that they request us to allow them to live after their own laws.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:25 @ Wherefore being desirous that this nation also should be at rest, we have ordained and decreed, that the temple should be restored to them, and that they may live according to the custom of their ancestors.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:26 @ Thou shalt do well therefore to send to them, and grant them peace, that our pleasure being known, they may be of good comfort, and look to their own affairs.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:27 @ But the king's letter to the Jews was in this manner: King Antiochus to the senate of the Jews, and to the rest of the Jews, greeting.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:29 @ Menelaus came to us, saying that you desired to come down to your countrymen, that are with us.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:30 @ We grant therefore a safe conduct to all that come and go, until the thirtieth day of the month of Xanthicus,

dourh@AddDaniel:12:31 @ That the Jews may use their own Bind of meats, and their own laws as be- fore, and that none of them any manner of ways be molested for things which have been done by ignorance.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:35 @ Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted you, we also have granted.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:36 @ But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch.

dourh@AddDaniel:12:37 @ And therefore make haste to write back, that we may know of what mind you are.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:2 @ But they that were behind, namely, Timotheus and Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and besides them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to live in peace, and to be quiet.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:3 @ The men of Joppe also were guilty of this kind of wickedness: they desired the Jews who dwelt among them to go with their wives and children into the boats, which they had prepared, as though they had no enmity to them.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:5 @ But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God the just judge,

dourh@AddDaniel:13:6 @ He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:8 @ But when he understood that the men of Jamnia also designed to do in like manner to the Jews that dwelt among them,

dourh@AddDaniel:13:9 @ He came upon the Jamnites also by night, end set the haven on fire with the ships, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:12 @ And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:13 @ He also laid siege to a certain strong city, encompassed with bridges and walls, and inhabited by multitudes of different nations, the name of which is Casphin.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:14 @ But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:15 @ But Machabeus calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of war threw down the walls of Jericho in the time of Josue, fiercely assaulted the walls.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:16 @ And having taken the city by the will of the Lord, he made an unspeakable slaughter, so that a pool adjoining of two furlongs broad seemed to run with the blood of the slain.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:17 @ From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa to the Jews that are called Tubianites.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:18 @ But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold:

dourh@AddDaniel:13:19 @ But Dositheus, and Sosipater, who were captains with Machabeus, slew them that were left by Timotheus in the hold, to the number of ten thousand men.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:21 @ Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:22 @ But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:24 @ And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:25 @ And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:27 @ And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:28 @ But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city; and slew five and twenty thou- sand of them that were within.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:30 @ But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity:

dourh@AddDaniel:13:31 @ They gave them thanks exhorting them to be still friendly to their nation, and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks being at hand.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:34 @ And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:36 @ But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle:

dourh@AddDaniel:13:38 @ So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the place.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:39 @ And the day following Judas cam with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:40 @ And they found under the coats o the slain some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth the Jews:

dourh@AddDaniel:13:41 @ Then they all blessed the just judgment of the Lord, who had discovered the things that were hidden.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:42 @ And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten. But the most valiant Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes what had happened, because of the sins of those that were slain.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:43 @ And making a gathering, he twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection,

dourh@AddDaniel:13:44 @ (For if he had not hoped that the that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,)

dourh@AddDaniel:13:45 @ And because he considered that the who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:46 @ It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.

dourh@AddDaniel:13:90 @ that all plainly saw, for this cause they were slain.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:1 @ In the year one hundred and forty- nine, Judas understood that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a multitude against Judea,

dourh@AddDaniel:14:3 @ Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:4 @ But the King of kings stirred up the mind of Antiochus against the sinner, and upon Lysias suggesting that he was the cause of all the evils, he commanded (as the custom is with them) that he should be apprehended and put to death in the same place.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:5 @ Now there was in that place a tower fifty cubits high, having a heap of ashes on every side: this had a prospect steep down.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:6 @ From thence he commanded the sacrilegious wretch to be thrown down into the ashes, all men thrusting him forward unto death.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:7 @ And by such a law it happened that Menelaus the transgressor of the law was put to death: not having so much as burial in the earth.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:10 @ taste of the hardiness of the Jews, attempted to take the strong places by policy:

dourh@AddDaniel:14:11 @ But the king, with his mind full of rage, came on to shew himself worse to the Jews than his father was.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:12 @ Which, when Judas understood, he commanded the people to call upon the Lord day and night, that as he had always done, so now also he would help them:

dourh@AddDaniel:14:13 @ Because they were afraid to be deprived of the law, and of their country, and of the holy temple: and that he would not suffer the people, that had of late taken breath for a little while, to be again in subjection to blasphemous nations.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:14 @ So when they had all done this together, and had craved mercy of the Lord with weeping and fasting, lying prostrate on the ground for three days continually, Judas exhorted them to make themselves ready.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:16 @ So committing all to God, the creator of the world, and having exhorted his people to fight manfully, and to stand up even to death for the laws, the temple, the city, their country, and citizens: he placed his army about Modin.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:17 @ And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him,

dourh@AddDaniel:14:19 @ Now this was done at the break of day, by the protection and help of the Lord.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:22 @ Now Judas sent necessaries to them that were within.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:24 @ Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:25 @ He fought with Jucias: and was overcome. And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifices, honoured the temple, and left gifts.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:27 @ But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant.

dourh@AddDaniel:14:28 @ Then Lysias went up to the judgment seat, and set forth the reason, and appeased the people, and returned to Antioch: and thus matters went with regard to the king's coming and his return.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:1 @ But after the space of three years Judas, and they that were with him, understood that Demetrius the son of Seleucus was come up with a great power, and a navy by the haven of Tripolis to places proper for his purpose.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:3 @ Now one Alcimus, who had been chief priest, but had wilfully defiled himself in the time of mingling with the heathens, seeing that there was no safety for him, nor access to the altar,

dourh@AddDaniel:15:4 @ Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs which seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:5 @ But having gotten a convenient time to further his madness, being called to counsel by Demetrius, and asked what the Jews relied upon, and what were their counsels,

dourh@AddDaniel:15:6 @ He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:8 @ Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of those men.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:9 @ Wherefore, 0 king, seeing thou know- eat all these things, take care, I beseech thee, both of the country, and of our nation, according to thy humanity which is known to all men,

dourh@AddDaniel:15:10 @ For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:13 @ Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:15 @ Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him, who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:16 @ Then at the commandment of their captain, they forthwith removed from the place where they were, and went to the town of Dessau, to meet them.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:17 @ Now Simon the brother of Judas had joined battle with Nicanor, but was frightened with the sudden coming of the adversaries.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:18 @ Nevertheless Nicanor hearing of the valour of Judas' companions, and the greatness of courage with which they fought for their country, was afraid to try the matter by the sword.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:19 @ Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotius, and Matthias before to pre- sent and receive the right hands.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:20 @ And when there had been a consultation thereupon, and the captain had acquainted the multitude with it, the) were all of one mind to consent to covenants.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:21 @ So they appointed a day upon which they might commune together by them- selves: and seats were brought out, and set for each one.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:23 @ And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:26 @ But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:27 @ Then the king being in a rage and provoked with this man's wicked accusations, wrote to Nicanor, signifying, that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:28 @ When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:29 @ But because he could not oppose the king, he watched an opportunity to comply with the orders.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:30 @ But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner: and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:31 @ But he finding himself notably pre- vented by the man, came to the great and holy temple: and commanded the priests that were offering the accustomed sacrifices, to deliver him the man.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:32 @ And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple,

dourh@AddDaniel:15:33 @ And swore, saying: Unless you de- liver Judas prisoner to me, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and will beat down the altar, and I will dedicate this temple to Bacchus.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:34 @ And when he had spoken thus he departed. But the priests stretching forth their hands to heaven, called upon him that was ever the defender of their nation, saying in this manner:

dourh@AddDaniel:15:35 @ Thou, O Lord of all things, who wantest nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be amongst us.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:36 @ Therefore now, 0 Lord the holy of all holies, keep this house for ever undefiled which was lately cleansed.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:37 @ Now Razias, one of the ancients of Jerusalem, was accused to Nicanor, a man that was a lover of the city, and of good report, who for his affection was called the father of the Jews.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:38 @ This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:39 @ So Nicanor being willing to declare the hatred that he bore the Jews, sent five hundred soldiers to take him.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:42 @ Choosing to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer abuses unbecoming his noble birth.

dourh@AddDaniel:15:45 @ And as he had yet breath in him, being inflamed in mind he arose: and while his blood ran down with a great stream, and he was grievously wounded, he ran through the crowd:

dourh@AddDaniel:16:1 @ But when Nicanor understood that Judas was in the places of Samaria, he purposed to set upon him with all violence on the sabbath day.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:2 @ And when the Jews that were constrained to follow him, said: Do not act so fiercely and barbarously, but give honour to the day that is sanctified: and reverence him that beholdeth all things:

dourh@AddDaniel:16:3 @ That unhappy man asked, if there were a mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:4 @ And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept,

dourh@AddDaniel:16:6 @ So Nicanor being puffed up with exceeding great pride, thought to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:7 @ But Machabeus ever trusted with all hope that God would help them.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:8 @ And he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the nations, but to remember the help they had before received from heaven, and now to hope for victory from the Almighty.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:9 @ And speaking to them out of the law, and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles they had fought before, he made them more cheerful:

dourh@AddDaniel:16:10 @ Then after he had encouraged them, he shewed withal the falsehood of the Gentiles, and their breach of oaths.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:11 @ So he armed every one of them, not with defence of shield and spear, but with very good speeches and exhortations, and told them a dream worthy to be believed, whereby he rejoiced them all.

dourh@AddDaniel:16:13 @ After this there appeared also an- other man, admirable for age, and glory, and environed with great beauty and majesty:

dourh@EpJeremiah:3:4 @ For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.

dourh@EpJeremiah:3:5 @ And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee:

dourh@EpJeremiah:3:7 @ Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids,

dourh@EpJeremiah:4:21 @ I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me:

dourh@EpJeremiah:4:23 @ Fear not, my son: we lead indeed a poor life, but we shall have many good things if we fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is good.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:1 @ Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:2 @ But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth me not, and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the way which leadeth thither.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:3 @ Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:4 @ But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:6 @ And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man?

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:7 @ But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes?

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:8 @ And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:9 @ And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell these same things to my father.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:10 @ Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:13 @ And the young man said to him: Be of good courage, thy cure from God is at hand.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:14 @ And Tobias said to him: Canst thou conduct my son to Gabelus at Rages, a city of the Medes? and when thou shalt return, I will pay thee thy hire.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:16 @ And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or what tribe art thou?

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:18 @ But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the great Ananias.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:19 @ And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee be not angry that I desired to know thy family.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:22 @ Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:25 @ For poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as riches, that we saw our son.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:27 @ For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall return to us with joy.

dourh@EpJeremiah:5:28 @ At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:7 @ Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee, brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which thou hast bid me keep of the fish?

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:8 @ And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to them.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:10 @ And Tobias said to him: Where wilt thou that we lodge?

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:11 @ And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he hath no son nor any other daughter beside her.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:13 @ Ask her therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to wife.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:14 @ Then Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to seven husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil killed them.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:17 @ For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:19 @ And on that night lay the liver of the fish on the fire, and the devil shall be driven away.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:20 @ But the second night thou shalt be admitted into the society of the holy Patriarchs.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:21 @ And the third night thou shalt obtain a blessing that sound children may be born of you.

dourh@EpJeremiah:6:22 @ And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children.

dourh@EpJeremiah:7:6 @ And when he was speaking many good things of him, the angel said to Raguel: Tobias concerning whom thou inquirest is this young man's father.

dourh@EpJeremiah:7:10 @ Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter.

dourh@EpJeremiah:7:11 @ Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition,

dourh@EpJeremiah:7:13 @ Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight.

dourh@EpJeremiah:7:14 @ And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:5 @ For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:6 @ So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health might be given them,

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:7 @ And Tobias said: Lord God of our father, may the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy creatures that are in them, bless thee.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:9 @ And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:12 @ For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:14 @ Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:17 @ And said: We bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because it hath not happened as we suspected.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:18 @ For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:19 @ And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:20 @ And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit they had made, before it was day.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:21 @ And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:22 @ He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends.

dourh@EpJeremiah:8:24 @ And of all things which Raguel possessed, he gave one half to Tobias, and made him a writing, that the half that remained should after their decease come also to Tobias.

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:4 @ For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted.

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:5 @ And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I cannot despise.

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:7 @ And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding.

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:8 @ And when he was come into Raguel's house he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God,

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:9 @ And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds:

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:11 @ And may you see your children, and your children's children, unto the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever.

dourh@EpJeremiah:9:12 @ And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord.

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:1 @ But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there?

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:4 @ But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity?

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:6 @ And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:7 @ But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off.

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:8 @ But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:9 @ And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.

dourh@EpJeremiah:10:10 @ And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:4 @ And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:5 @ But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:6 @ And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:7 @ And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to thy father, and kiss him.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:8 @ And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:10 @ And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:12 @ And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down together.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:13 @ Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:15 @ And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:16 @ And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew them.

dourh@EpJeremiah:11:18 @ And after seven days Sara his son's wife, and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus:

dourh@EpJeremiah:12:1 @ Then Tobias called to him his son, and said to him: What can we give to this holy man, that is come with thee?

dourh@EpJeremiah:12:2 @ Tobias answering, said to his father: Father, what wages shall we give him? or what can be worthy of his benefits?

dourh@EpJeremiah:12:3 @ He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven, and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him sufficient for these things?

dourh@EpJeremiah:12:4 @ But I beseech thee, my father, to desire him, that he would vouchsafe to accept one half of all things that have been brought.

dourh@EpJeremiah:12:5 @ So the father and the son, calling him, took him aside: and began to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things that they had brought.

dourh@EpJeremiah:12:6 @ Then he said to them secretly: Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you.

dourh@EpJeremiah:13:19 @ My soul, bless thou the Lord, because the Lord our God hath delivered Jerusalem his city from all her troubles.

dourh@EpJeremiah:13:21 @ The gates of Jerusalem shall be built of sapphire, and of emerald, and all the walls thereof round about of precious stones.

dourh@EpJeremiah:13:23 @ Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he reign over it for ever and ever, Amen.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:4 @ And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:5 @ And at the hour of his death he called unto him his son Tobias and his children, seven young men, his grandsons, and said to them:

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:6 @ The destruction of Ninive is at hand: for the word of the Lord must be fulfilled: and our brethren, that are scattered abroad from the land of Israel, shall return to it.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:7 @ And all the land thereof that is desert shall be filled with people, and the house of God which is burnt in it, shall again be rebuilt: and all that fear God shall return thither.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:13 @ For I see that its iniquity will bring it to destruction.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:14 @ And it came to pass that after the death of his mother, Tobias departed out of Ninive with his wife, and children, and children's children, and returned to his father and mother in law.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:15 @ And he found them in health in a good old age: and he took care of them, and he closed their eyes: and all the inheritance of Raguel's house came to him: and he saw his children's children to the fifth generation.

dourh@EpJeremiah:14:17 @ And all his kindred, and all his generation continued in good life, and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God, and to men, and to all that dwelt in the land.

dourh@1Esd:1:1 @ Love justice, you that are the judges of the earth. Think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart.

dourh@1Esd:1:2 @ For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him.

dourh@1Esd:1:3 @ For perverse thoughts seperate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise:

dourh@1Esd:1:5 @ For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in.

dourh@1Esd:1:7 @ For the spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world: and that, which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice.

dourh@1Esd:1:11 @ Keep yourselves therefore from murmuring, which profiteth nothing, and refrain your tongue from detraction, for an obscure speech shall not go for nought: and the mouth that belieth, killeth the soul.

dourh@1Esd:1:12 @ Seek not death in the error of your life, neither procure ye destruction by the works of your hands.

dourh@1Esd:1:13 @ For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.

dourh@1Esd:1:14 @ For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth.

dourh@1Esd:2:1 @ For they have said, reasoning with themselves, but not right: The time of our life is short and tedious, and in the end of a man there is no remedy, and no man hath been known to have returned from hell:

dourh@1Esd:2:2 @ For we are born of nothing, and after this we shall be as if we had not been: for the breath in our nostrils is smoke: and speech a spark to move our heart,

dourh@1Esd:2:3 @ Which being put out, our body shall be ashes, and our spirit shall be poured abroad as soft air, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, which is driven away by the beams of the sun, and overpowered with the heat thereof:

dourh@1Esd:2:6 @ Come therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth.

dourh@1Esd:2:20 @ Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words.

dourh@1Esd:2:23 @ For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him.

dourh@1Esd:2:24 @ But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world:

dourh@1Esd:3:1 @ But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them.

dourh@1Esd:3:5 @ Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.

dourh@1Esd:3:6 @ As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them.

dourh@1Esd:3:8 @ They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

dourh@1Esd:3:9 @ They that trust in him, shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love shall rest in him: for grace and peace is to his elect.

dourh@1Esd:4:2 @ When it is present, they imitate it: and they desire it when it hath withdrawn itself, and it triumpheth crowned for ever, winning the reward of undefiled conflicts.

dourh@1Esd:4:3 @ But the multiplied brood of the wicked shall not thrive, and bastard slips shall not take deep root, nor any fast foundation.

dourh@1Esd:4:5 @ For the branches not being perfect, shall be broken, and their fruits shall be unprofitable, and sour to eat, and fit for nothing.

dourh@1Esd:4:6 @ For the children that are born of unlawful beds, are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.

dourh@1Esd:4:7 @ But the just man, if he be prevented with death, shall be in rest.

dourh@1Esd:4:8 @ For venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by the number of years: but the understanding of a man is grey hairs.

dourh@1Esd:4:16 @ But the just that is dead, condemneth the wicked that are living, and youth soon ended, the long life of the unjust.

dourh@1Esd:4:17 @ For they shall see the end of the wise man, and shall not understand what God hath designed for him, and why the Lord hath set him in safety.

dourh@1Esd:5:12 @ Or as when an arrow is shot at a mark, the divided air presently cometh together again, so that the passage thereof is not known:

dourh@1Esd:5:19 @ He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet.

dourh@1Esd:5:21 @ And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise.

dourh@1Esd:5:23 @ And thick hail shall be cast upon them from the stone casting wrath: the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the rivers shall run together in a terrible manner.

dourh@1Esd:6:3 @ Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations:

dourh@1Esd:6:6 @ Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule.

dourh@1Esd:6:7 @ For to him that is little, mercy is granted: but the mighty shall be mightily tormented.

dourh@1Esd:6:8 @ For God will not except any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all.

dourh@1Esd:6:9 @ But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty.

dourh@1Esd:6:10 @ To you, therefore, O kings, are these my words, that you may learn wisdom, and not fall from it.

dourh@1Esd:6:11 @ For they that have kept just things justly, shall be justified: and they that have learned these things, shall find what to answer.

dourh@1Esd:6:13 @ Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away, and is easily seen by them that love her, and is found by them that seek her.

dourh@1Esd:6:14 @ She preventeth them that covet her, so that she first sheweth herself unto them.

dourh@1Esd:6:15 @ He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door.

dourh@1Esd:6:16 @ To think therefore upon her, is perfect understanding: and he that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure.

dourh@1Esd:6:19 @ And the care of discipline is love: and love is the keeping of her laws: and the keeping of her laws is the firm foundation of incorruption:

dourh@1Esd:6:22 @ If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever.

dourh@1Esd:6:23 @ Love the light of wisdom, all ye that bear rule over peoples.

dourh@1Esd:6:24 @ Now what wisdom is, and what was her origin, I will declare: and I will not hide from you the mysteries of God, but will seek her out from the beginning of her birth, and bring the knowledge of her to light, and will not pass over the truth:

dourh@1Esd:7:1 @ I myself also am a mortal man, like all others, and of the race of him, that was first made of the earth, and in the womb of my mother I was fashioned to be flesh.

dourh@1Esd:7:3 @ And being born I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, that is made alike, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.

dourh@1Esd:7:4 @ I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and with great cares.

dourh@1Esd:7:12 @ And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all.

dourh@1Esd:7:13 @ Which I have learned without guile, and communicate without envy, and her riches I hide not.

dourh@1Esd:7:14 @ For she is an infinite treasure to men! which they that use, become the friends of God, being commended for the gift of discipline.

dourh@1Esd:7:15 @ And God hath given to me to speak as I would, and to conceive thoughts worthy of those things that are given me: because he is the guide of wisdom, and the director of the wise:

dourh@1Esd:7:17 @ For he hath given me the true knowledge of the things that are: to know the disposition of the whole world, and the virtues of the elements,

dourh@1Esd:7:18 @ The beginning, and ending, and midst of the times, the alterations of their courses, and the changes of seasons,

dourh@1Esd:7:20 @ The natures of living creatures, and rage of wild beasts, the force of winds, and reasonings of men, the diversities of plants, and the virtues of roots,

dourh@1Esd:7:22 @ For in her is the spirit of understanding: holy, one, manifold, subtile, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent,

dourh@1Esd:7:25 @ For she is a vapour of the power of God, and a certain pure emanation of the glory of the almighty God: and therefore no defiled thing cometh into her.

dourh@1Esd:7:27 @ And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself the same, she reneweth all things, and through nations conveyeth herself into holy souls, she maketh the friends of God and prophets.

dourh@1Esd:7:28 @ For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.

dourh@1Esd:8:3 @ She glorifieth her nobility by being conversant with God: yea and the Lord of all things hath loved her.

dourh@1Esd:8:4 @ For it is she that teacheth the knowledge of God, and is the chooser of his works.

dourh@1Esd:8:5 @ And if riches be desired in life, what is richer than wisdom, which maketh all things?

dourh@1Esd:8:6 @ And if sense do work: who is a more artful worker than she of those things that are?

dourh@1Esd:8:7 @ And if a man love justice: her labours have great virtues; for she teacheth temperance, and prudence, anad justice, and fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing more profitable in life.

dourh@1Esd:8:9 @ I purposed therefore to take her to me to live with me: knowing that she will communicate to me of her good things, and will be a comfort in my cares and grief.

dourh@1Esd:8:11 @ And I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of the mighty, and the faces of princes shall wonder at me.

dourh@1Esd:8:13 @ Moreover by the means of her I shall have immortality: and shall leave behind me an everlasting memory to them that come after me.

dourh@1Esd:8:14 @ I shall set the people in order: and nations shall be subject to me.

dourh@1Esd:8:16 @ When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness, nor her company any tediousness, but joy and gladness.

dourh@1Esd:8:17 @ Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality,

dourh@1Esd:8:18 @ And that there is great delight in her friendship, and inexhaustible riches in the works of her hands, and in the exercise of conference with her, wisdom, and glory in the communication of her words: I went about seeking, that I might take her to myself.

dourh@1Esd:8:21 @ And as I knew that I could not otherwise be continent, except God gave it, and this also was a point of wisdom, to know whose gift it was: I went to the Lord, and besought him, and said with my whole heart:

dourh@1Esd:9:1 @ God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

dourh@1Esd:9:2 @ And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee,

dourh@1Esd:9:3 @ That he should order the world according to equity and justice, and execute justice with an upright heart:

dourh@1Esd:9:4 @ Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne, and cast me not off from among thy children:

dourh@1Esd:9:9 @ And thy wisdom with thee, which knoweth thy works, which then also was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was agreeable to thy eyes, and what was right in thy commandments.

dourh@1Esd:9:10 @ Send her out of thy holy heaven, and from the throne of thy majesty, that she may be with me, and may labour with me, that I may know what is acceptable with thee:

dourh@1Esd:9:12 @ So shall my works be acceptable, and I shall govern thy people justly, and shall be worthy of the throne of my father.

dourh@1Esd:9:13 @ For who among men is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of God is?

dourh@1Esd:9:15 @ For the corruptible body is a load upon the soul, and the earthly habitation presseth down the mind that museth upon many things.

dourh@1Esd:9:16 @ And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth: and with labour do we find the things that are before us. But the things that are in heaven, who shall search out?

dourh@1Esd:9:18 @ And so the ways of them that are upon earth may be corrected, and men may learn the things that please thee?

dourh@1Esd:10:1 @ She preseved him, that was first formed by God the father of the world, when he was created alone,

dourh@1Esd:10:4 @ For whose cause, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by contemptible wood.

dourh@1Esd:10:5 @ Moreover when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son.

dourh@1Esd:10:6 @ She delivered the just man who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis:

dourh@1Esd:10:7 @ Whose land for a testimony of their wickedness is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul.

dourh@1Esd:10:8 @ For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things, but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid.

dourh@1Esd:10:9 @ But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her.

dourh@1Esd:10:10 @ She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours.

dourh@1Esd:10:11 @ In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.

dourh@1Esd:10:12 @ She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all.

dourh@1Esd:10:14 @ And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory.

dourh@1Esd:10:15 @ She delivered the just people, and blameless seed from the nations that oppressed them.

dourh@1Esd:10:18 @ And she brought them through the Red Sea, and carried them over through a great water.

dourh@1Esd:11:2 @ They went through wildernesses that were not inhabited, and in desert places they pitched their tents.

dourh@1Esd:11:4 @ They were thirsty, and they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the high rock, and a refreshment of their thirst out of the hard stone.

dourh@1Esd:11:5 @ For by what things their enemies were punished, when their drink failed them, while the children of Israel abounded therewith and rejoiced:

dourh@1Esd:11:8 @ And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for:

dourh@1Esd:11:9 @ Shewing by the thirst that was then, how thou didst exalt thine, and didst kill their adversaries.

dourh@1Esd:11:10 @ For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath and tormented.

dourh@1Esd:11:11 @ For thou didst admonish and try them as a father: but the others, as a severe king, thou didst examine and condemn.

dourh@1Esd:11:14 @ For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass.

dourh@1Esd:11:15 @ For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just.

dourh@1Esd:11:17 @ That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented.

dourh@1Esd:11:18 @ For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions,

dourh@1Esd:11:19 @ Or unknown beasts of a new kind, full of rage: either breathing out a fiery vapour, or sending forth a stinking smoke, or shooting horrible sparks out of their eyes:

dourh@1Esd:11:21 @ Yea and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight.

dourh@1Esd:11:22 @ For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm?

dourh@1Esd:11:23 @ For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon the earth:

dourh@1Esd:11:25 @ For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it.

dourh@1Esd:12:2 @ And therefore thou chastisest them that err, by little and little: and admonishest them, and speakest to them, concerning the things wherein they offend: that leaving their wickedness, they may believe in thee, O Lord.

dourh@1Esd:12:4 @ Because they did works hateful to thee by their sorceries, and wicked sacrifices,

dourh@1Esd:12:5 @ And those merciless murderers of their own children, and eaters of men's bowels, and devourers of blood from the midst of thy consecration,

dourh@1Esd:12:7 @ That the land which of all is most dear to thee might receive a worthy colony of the children of God.

dourh@1Esd:12:9 @ Not that thou wast unable to bring the wicked under the just by war, or by cruel beasts, or with one rough word to destroy them at once:

dourh@1Esd:12:10 @ But executing thy judgments by degrees thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a wicked generation, and their malice natural, and that their thought could never be changed.

dourh@1Esd:12:12 @ For who shall say to thee: What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall come before thee to be a revenger of wicked men? or who shall accuse thee, if the nations perish, which thou hast made?

dourh@1Esd:12:13 @ For there is no other God but thou, who hast care of all, that thou shouldst shew that thou dost not give judgment unjustly.

dourh@1Esd:12:17 @ For thou shewest thy power, when men will not believe thee to be absolute in power, and thou convincest the boldness of them that know thee not.

dourh@1Esd:12:18 @ But thou being master of power, judgest with tranquillity; and with great favour disposest of us: for thy power is at hand when thou wilt.

dourh@1Esd:12:19 @ But thou hast taught thy people by such works, that they must be just and humane, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope: because in judging thou givest place for repentance for sins.

dourh@1Esd:12:20 @ For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy servants, and that deserved to die, with so great deliberation, giving them time and place whereby they might be changed from their wickedness:

dourh@1Esd:12:21 @ With what circumspection hast thou judged thy own children, to whose parents thou hast sworn and made covenants of good promises?

dourh@1Esd:12:22 @ Therefore whereas thou chastisest us, thou scourgest our enemies very many ways, to the end that when we judge we may think on thy goodness: and when we are judged, we may hope for thy mercy.

dourh@1Esd:12:23 @ Wherefore thou hast also greatly tormented them who in their life have lived foolishly and unjustly, by the same things which they worshipped.

dourh@1Esd:12:26 @ But they that were not amended by mockeries and reprehensions, experienced the worthy judgment of God.

dourh@1Esd:12:27 @ For seeing with indignation that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them.

dourh@1Esd:13:1 @ But all men are vain, in whom there is not the knowledge of God: and who by these good things that are seen, could not understand him that is, neither by attending to the works have acknowledged who was the workman:

dourh@1Esd:13:2 @ But have imagined either the fire, or the wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the great water, or the sun and moon, to be the gods that rule the world.

dourh@1Esd:13:4 @ Or if they admired their power and their effects, let them understand by them, that he that made them, is mightier than they:

dourh@1Esd:13:5 @ For by the greatness of the beauty, and of the creature, the creator of them may be seen, so as to be known thereby.

dourh@1Esd:14:12 @ For the beginning of fornication is the devising of idols: and the invention of them is the corruption of life.

dourh@1Esd:14:15 @ For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants.

dourh@1Esd:14:16 @ Then in process of time, wicked custom prevailing, this error was kept as a law, and statues were worshipped by the commandment of tyrants.

dourh@1Esd:14:23 @ For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness,

dourh@1Esd:14:24 @ So that now they neither keep life, nor marriage undefiled, but one killeth another through envy, or grieveth him by adultery:

dourh@1Esd:14:25 @ And all things are mingled together, blood, murder, theft and dissimulation, corruption and unfaithfulness, tumults and perjury, disquieting of the good,

dourh@1Esd:14:26 @ Forgetfulness of God, defiling of souls, changing of nature, disorder in marriage, and the irregularity of adultery and uncleaness.

dourh@1Esd:15:2 @ For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy greatness: and if we sin not, we know that we are counted with thee.

dourh@1Esd:15:12 @ Yea and they have counted our life a pastime, and the business of life to be gain, and that we must be getting every way, even out of evil.

dourh@1Esd:15:14 @ But all the enemies of thy people that hold them in subjection, are foolish, and unhappy, and proud beyond measure:

dourh@1Esd:16:7 @ For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee the Saviour of all.

dourh@1Esd:16:8 @ And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil.

dourh@1Esd:16:12 @ For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.

dourh@1Esd:16:13 @ For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again:

dourh@1Esd:16:17 @ And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just.

dourh@1Esd:16:19 @ And at another time the fire, above its own power, burned in the midst of water, to destroy the fruits of a wicked land.

dourh@1Esd:16:20 @ Instead of which things thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste.

dourh@1Esd:16:21 @ For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked.

dourh@1Esd:16:22 @ But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that fire burning in the hail and flashing in the rain destroyed the fruits of the enemies.

dourh@1Esd:16:23 @ But this same again, that the just might be nourished, did even forget its own strength.

dourh@1Esd:16:24 @ For the creature serving thee the Creator, is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment; and abateth its strength for the benefit of them that trust in thee.

dourh@1Esd:16:28 @ That it might be known to all, that we ought to prevent the sun to bless thee, and adore thee at the dawning of the light.

dourh@1Esd:16:29 @ For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's ice, and shall run off as unprofitable water.

dourh@1Esd:17:1 @ For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred.

dourh@1Esd:17:2 @ For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence.

dourh@1Esd:17:3 @ And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly afraid and troubled with exceeding great astonishment.

dourh@1Esd:17:4 @ For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them.

dourh@1Esd:17:5 @ And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.

dourh@1Esd:17:6 @ But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse:

dourh@1Esd:17:8 @ For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at.

dourh@1Esd:17:9 @ For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear: and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided.

dourh@1Esd:17:10 @ For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things.

dourh@1Esd:17:12 @ And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment.

dourh@1Esd:17:13 @ But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep.

dourh@1Esd:17:17 @ For they were all bound together with one chain of darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds, among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with violence,

dourh@1Esd:17:18 @ Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things made them to swoon for fear.

dourh@1Esd:17:20 @ But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness.

dourh@1Esd:18:1 @ But thy saints had a very great light, and they heard their voice indeed, but did not see their shape. And because they also did not suffer the same things, they glorified thee:

dourh@1Esd:18:2 @ And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference.

dourh@1Esd:18:5 @ And whereas they thought to kill the babes of the just, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away a multitude of their children, and destroyedst them all together in a mighty water.

dourh@1Esd:18:6 @ For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage.

dourh@1Esd:18:7 @ So thy people received the salvation of the just, and destruction of the unjust.

dourh@1Esd:18:9 @ For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers.

dourh@1Esd:18:10 @ But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed.

dourh@1Esd:18:12 @ So all alike had innumerable dead, with one kind of death. Neither were the living sufficient to bury them; for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

dourh@1Esd:18:16 @ With a sharp sword carrying thy unfeigned commandment, and he stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth reached even to heaven.

dourh@1Esd:18:18 @ And one thrown here, another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.

dourh@1Esd:18:19 @ For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish and not know why they suffered these evils.

dourh@1Esd:18:20 @ But the just also were afterwards touched by an assault of death, and there was a disturbance of the multitude in the wilderness: but thy wrath did not long continue.

dourh@1Esd:18:21 @ For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant.

dourh@1Esd:18:22 @ And he overcame the disturbance, not by strength of body nor with force of arms, but with a word he subdued him that punished them, alleging the oaths and covenant made with the fathers.

dourh@1Esd:18:24 @ For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head.

dourh@1Esd:18:25 @ And to these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for the proof only of wrath was enough.

dourh@1Esd:19:1 @ But as to the wicked, even to the end there came upon them wrath without mercy. For he knew before also what they would do:

dourh@1Esd:19:2 @ For when they had given them leave to depart, and had sent them away with great care, they repented, and pursued after them.

dourh@1Esd:19:3 @ For whilst they were yet mourning, and lamenting at the graves of the dead, they took up another foolish device: and pursued them as fugitives whom they had pressed to be gone:

dourh@1Esd:19:4 @ For a necessity, of which they were worthy, brought them to this end: and they lost the remembrance of those things which had happened, that their punishment might fill up what was wanting to their torments:

dourh@1Esd:19:5 @ And that thy people might wonderfully pass through, but they might find a new death.

dourh@1Esd:19:6 @ For every creature according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, obeying thy commandments, that thy children might be kept without hurt.

dourh@1Esd:19:7 @ For a cloud overshadowed their camp, and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea a way without hinderance, and out of the great deep a springing field:

dourh@1Esd:19:8 @ Through which all the nation passed which was protected with thy hand, seeing thy miracles and wonders.

dourh@1Esd:19:10 @ For they were yet mindful of those things which had been done in the time of their sojourning, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

dourh@1Esd:19:11 @ And at length they saw a new generation of birds, when being led by their appetite they asked for delicate meats.

dourh@1Esd:19:12 @ For to satisfy their desire, the quail came up to them from the sea: and punishments came upon the sinners, not without foregoing signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness.

dourh@1Esd:19:13 @ For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them.

dourh@1Esd:19:16 @ But they were struck with blindness: as those others were at the doors of the just man, when they were covered with sudden darkness, and every one sought the passage of his own door.

dourh@1Esd:19:18 @ For the things of the land were turned into things of the water: and the things before swam in the water passed upon the land.

dourh@1Esd:19:19 @ The fire had power in water above its own virtue, and the water forgot its quenching nature.

dourh@1Esd:19:20 @ On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of corruptible animals walking therein, neither did they melt that good food, which was apt to melt as ice. For in all things thou didst magnify thy people, O Lord, and didst honour them, and didst not despise them, but didst assist them at all times, and in every place.

dourh@PssSol:1:3 @ Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever:

dourh@PssSol:1:4 @ For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true.

dourh@PssSol:1:5 @ For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.

dourh@PssSol:1:7 @ And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.

dourh@PssSol:1:8 @ Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:

dourh@PssSol:1:9 @ And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that axe upon the earth.

dourh@PssSol:1:10 @ And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.

dourh@PssSol:1:13 @ To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore.

dourh@PssSol:1:14 @ For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.

dourh@PssSol:1:15 @ Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of firstfruits before thee,

dourh@PssSol:1:16 @ That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted.

dourh@PssSol:1:17 @ As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee.
