By faith Moses,
When he was come to years,
Refused to be called
The son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Choosing rather
To suffer affliction
With the people of God,
Than to enjoy
The pleasures of sin
For a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ
Greater riches
Than the treasures in Egypt:
For he had respect
Unto the recompence
Of the reward.
By faith
He forsook Egypt,
Not fearing
The wrath of the king:
For he endured,
As seeing him
Who is invisible.
For the invisible things of him
From the creation of the world
Are clearly seen,
Being understood
By the things that are made,
Even his eternal power
And Godhead;
So that they are without excuse:
Giving thanks unto the Father,
Which hath made us meet
To be partakers
Of the inheritance
Of the saints in light:
Who hath delivered us
From the power of darkness,
And hath translated us
Into the kingdom
Of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption
Through his blood,
Even the forgiveness of sins:
Who is the image
Of the invisible God,
The firstborn of every creature:
For by him
Were all things created,
That are in heaven,
And that are in earth,
Visible and invisible,
Whether they be thrones,
Or dominions,
Or principalities,
Or powers:
All things were created
By him,
And for him:
And he is before all things,
And by him all things consist.
And he is the head
Of the body,
The church:
Who is the beginning,
The firstborn from the dead;
That in all things
He might have the preeminence.
Now unto the King eternal,
Immortal, invisible,
The only wise God,
Be honour and glory
For ever and ever.
Amen.
