Which things also we speak, not inrepparttar words which man's wisdom teacheth, but whichrepparttar 126559 Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. If any man defilerepparttar 126560 temple of God, him shall God destroy; forrepparttar 126561 temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, byrepparttar 126562 Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, Greet one another with an holy kiss.

The grace ofrepparttar 126563 Lord Jesus Christ, andrepparttar 126564 love of God, andrepparttar 126565 communion ofrepparttar 126566 Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. In whom allrepparttar 126567 building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple inrepparttar 126568 Lord: Which in other ages was not made known untorepparttar 126569 sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets byrepparttar 126570 Spirit; And grieve notrepparttar 126571 holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed untorepparttar 126572 day of redemption. 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.

Put on therefore, asrepparttar 126573 elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering ... He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

Greet allrepparttar 126574 brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you byrepparttar 126575 Lord that this epistle be read unto allrepparttar 126576 holy brethren.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, byrepparttar 126577 washing of regeneration, and renewing ofrepparttar 126578 Holy Ghost. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts ofrepparttar 126579 Holy Ghost, according to his own will? For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher thanrepparttar 126580 heavens. The Holy Ghost this signifying, thatrepparttar 126581 way intorepparttar 126582 holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while asrepparttar 126583 first tabernacle was yet standing.

For Christ is not entered intorepparttar 126584 holy places made with hands, which arerepparttar 126585 figures ofrepparttar 126586 true; but into heaven itself, now to appear inrepparttar 126587 presence of God for us. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forthrepparttar 126588 praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Forrepparttar 126589 prophecy came not in old time byrepparttar 126590 will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved byrepparttar 126591 Holy Ghost. For there are three that bear record in heaven,repparttar 126592 Father,repparttar 126593 Word, andrepparttar 126594 Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Andrepparttar 126595 four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Blessed and holy is he that hath part inrepparttar 126596 first resurrection: on suchrepparttar 126597 second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And I John sawrepparttar 126598 holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And he carried me away inrepparttar 126599 spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city,repparttar 126600 holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: andrepparttar 126601 Lord God ofrepparttar 126602 holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servantsrepparttar 126603 things which must shortly be done.

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

And whosoever shall speak a word againstrepparttar 126604 Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth againstrepparttar 126605 Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (Whomrepparttar 126606 heaven must receive untilrepparttar 126607 times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken byrepparttar 126608 mouth of all his holy prophets sincerepparttar 126609 world began.) Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Joy

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes,repparttar oil of joy for mourning,repparttar 126558 garment of praise forrepparttar 126559 spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,repparttar 126560 planting ofrepparttar 126561 Lord, that he might be glorified.

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: andrepparttar 126562 voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, norrepparttar 126563 voice of crying.

Hearrepparttar 126564 word ofrepparttar 126565 Lord, ye that tremble at his word; your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Letrepparttar 126566 Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her. Then shallrepparttar 126567 virgin rejoice inrepparttar 126568 dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before allrepparttar 126569 nations ofrepparttar 126570 earth, which shall hear allrepparttar 126571 good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for allrepparttar 126572 goodness and for allrepparttar 126573 prosperity that I procure unto it.

The voice of joy, andrepparttar 126574 voice of gladness,repparttar 126575 voice ofrepparttar 126576 bridegroom, andrepparttar 126577 voice ofrepparttar 126578 bride,repparttar 126579 voice of them that shall say, Praiserepparttar 126580 Lord of hosts: forrepparttar 126581 Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bringrepparttar 126582 sacrifice of praise intorepparttar 126583 house ofrepparttar 126584 Lord. For I will cause to returnrepparttar 126585 captivity ofrepparttar 126586 land, as atrepparttar 126587 first, saithrepparttar 126588 Lord.

Thus saithrepparttar 126589 Lord of hosts; The fast ofrepparttar 126590 fourth month, andrepparttar 126591 fast ofrepparttar 126592 fifth, andrepparttar 126593 fast ofrepparttar 126594 seventh, andrepparttar 126595 fast ofrepparttar 126596 tenth, shall be torepparttar 126597 house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore loverepparttar 126598 truth and peace.

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven. Forrepparttar 126599 kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy inrepparttar 126600 Holy Ghost.

Nowrepparttar 126601 God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, throughrepparttar 126602 power ofrepparttar 126603 Holy Ghost.

Looking unto Jesusrepparttar 126604 author and finisher of our faith; who forrepparttar 126605 joy that was set before him enduredrepparttar 126606 cross, despisingrepparttar 126607 shame, and is set down atrepparttar 126608 right hand ofrepparttar 126609 throne of God. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless beforerepparttar 126610 presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Torepparttar 126611 only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.
