So we,

Being many,

Are one body in Christ,

And every one members

One of another.

For we are members

Of his body,

Of his flesh,

And of his bones.

Let the peace of God

Rule in your hearts,

To the which also ye are called

In one body;

And be ye thankful.

Romans 12: 5; Ephesians 5:20; Colossians 3:15

For thou art an holy people

Unto the LORD thy God:

The LORD thy God hath chosen thee

To be a special people

Unto himself,

Above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

The LORD did not set his love upon you,

Nor choose you,

Because ye were more in number than any people;

For ye were the fewest of all people:

But because the LORD loved you,

And because he would keep the oath

Which he had sworn unto your fathers,

Hath the LORD brought you out

With a mighty hand,

And redeemed you

Out of the house of bondmen,

From the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Know therefore

That the LORD thy God,

He is God,

The faithful God,

Which keepeth covenant

And mercy

With them that love him

And keep his commandments

To a thousand generations;

Jesus answered and said unto her,

Whosoever drinketh of this water

Shall thirst again:

But whosoever drinketh of the water

That I shall give him

Shall never thirst;

But the water

That I shall give him

Shall be in him

A well of water

Springing up

Into everlasting life.

A garden inclosed

Is my sister,

My spouse;

A spring shut up,

A fountain sealed.

Thy plants

Are an orchard of pomegranates,

With pleasant fruits;

Camphire, with spikenard,

Spikenard and saffron;

Calamus and cinnamon,

With all trees of frankincense;

Myrrh and aloes,

With all the chief spices:

A fountain of gardens,

A well of living waters,

And streams from Lebanon.

Awake, O north wind;

And come, thou south;

Blow upon my garden,

That the spices thereof

May flow out.

Let my beloved

Come into his garden,

And eat his pleasant fruits.

The first of all the commandments is,

Hear, O Israel;

The Lord our God is one Lord:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God

With all thy heart,

And with all thy soul,

And with all thy mind,

And with all thy strength:

This is the first commandment.

And the second is like,

Namely this,

Thou shalt love thy neighbour

As thyself.

There is none other commandment

Greater than these.

Say Continually;

The Lord be glorified!

Every place

That the sole of your foot

Shall tread upon,

That have I given unto you,

As I said unto Moses.

This book of the law

Shall not depart out of thy mouth;

But thou shalt meditate therein

Day and night,

That thou mayest observe to do

According to all that is written therein:

For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,

And then thou shalt have good success.

Have not I commanded thee?

Be strong and of a good courage;

Be not afraid,

Neither be thou dismayed:

For the LORD thy God is with thee

Whithersoever thou goest.

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus

His mother,

And his mother’s sister,

Mary the wife of Cleophas,

And Mary Magdalene.

When Jesus therefore saw his mother,

And the disciple standing by,

Whom he loved,

He saith unto his mother,

Woman, behold thy son!

Then saith he to the disciple,

Behold thy mother!

And from that hour that disciple

Took her unto his own home.

For I am persuaded,

That neither death, nor life,

Nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,

Nor things present, nor things to come,

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.

Genesis 17:1-8; Revelation 21:3

And when Abram was ninety years old

and nine,

The LORD appeared to Abram,

And said unto him,

I am the Almighty God;

Walk before me,

And be thou perfect.

And I will make my covenant

Between me and thee,

And will multiply thee exceedingly.

And Abram fell on his face:

And God talked with him, saying,

As for me,

Behold, my covenant is with thee,

And thou shalt be a father

Of many nations.

Neither shall thy name

Any more be called Abram,

But thy name shall be Abraham;

For a father of many nations

Have I made thee.

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful,

And I will make nations of thee,

And kings shall come out of thee.

And I will establish my covenant

Between me and thee

And thy seed after thee

In their generations

For an everlasting covenant,

To be a God unto thee,

And to thy seed after thee.

And I will give unto thee,

And to thy seed after thee,

The land wherein thou art a stranger,

All the land of Canaan,

For an everlasting possession;

And I will be their God.

And I heard a great voice

Out of heaven saying,

Behold, the tabernacle of God

Is with men,

And he will dwell with them,

And they shall be his people,

And God himself

Shall be with them,

And be their God.

For God so loved the world,

That he gave his only begotten Son,

That whosoever believeth

In him should not perish,

But have everlasting

My little children,

These things write I unto you,

That ye sin not.

And if any man sin,

We have an advocate with the Father,

Jesus Christ the righteous:

And he is the propitiation for our sins:

And not for ours only,

But also

For the sins

Of the whole world.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses,

Your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,

Neither will your Father

Forgive your trespasses.

If we confess our sins,

He is faithful and just

To forgive us our sins,

And to cleanse us

From all unrighteousness.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths

Of righteousness

For his name’s sake.

Behold,

I have taught you statutes and judgments,

Even as the LORD my God commanded me,

That ye should do so

In the land whither ye go

To possess it.

Keep therefore and do them;

For this is your wisdom

And your understanding

In the sight of the nations,

Which shall hear all these statutes,

And say,

Surely this great nation is a wise

And understanding people.

For this commandment

Which I command thee this day,

It is not hidden from thee,

Neither is it far off.

It is not in heaven,

That thou shouldest say,

Who shall go up for us to heaven,

And bring it unto us,

That we may hear it, and do it?

Neither is it beyond the sea,

That thou shouldest say,

Who shall go over the sea for us,

And bring it unto us,

That we may hear it, and do it?

But the word is very nigh unto thee,

In thy mouth,

And in thy heart,

That thou mayest do it.

Therefore saith the Lord,

The LORD of hosts,

The mighty One of Israel,

Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries,

And avenge me of mine enemies:

And I will turn my hand upon thee,

And purely purge away thy dross,

And take away all thy tin:

And I will restore thy judges

As at the first,

And thy counsellors

As at the beginning:

Afterward thou shalt be called,

The city of righteousness,

The faithful city.
