4:1 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

4:3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

4:6 Now Jacobís well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with

his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou,

being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this

water shall thirst again:

4:14 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.

4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in

Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship

4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for

salvation is of the Jews.

4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.

4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;

4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy

saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is

indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.

4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

4:45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

4:46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

4:47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and

heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

4:49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

4:50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man

believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his

way.

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness overcame it not.

2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

CHAPTER 3

3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David,

4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;

4:13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

4:14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

4:15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

4:21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

4:22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:25 thru 34

(25) Therefore, I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food and the body than raiment?

(26) Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly father feedeth them. Are you not much better than they?

(27) Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto thy stature?

(28) Any why are ye anxious for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.

(29) And yet I say unto you that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.

(30) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

(31) Therefore, be not anxious saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?

(32) For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all things.

(33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousnes, and all these things shall be added unto you.

(34) Be, therefore, not anxious about tomorrow; for tomorrow will be anxious for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is its own evil.

Romans 1:26 thru 32

(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their woman did exchange the natural use for that which is against nature;

(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was fitting.

(28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not seemly.

(29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

(30) Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors, of evil things, disobedient to parents;

(31) Without understanding covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

(32) Who, knowing the judgement of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.

Ecclesiastes 1:1 vs 11

(12) I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

(13) And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; this severe travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

(14) I have seen all the works that are done under the sun and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

(15) That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is lacking cannot be numbered.

(16) I spoke to mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

(17) And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is vexation of the spirit.

(18) For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

(1) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity; there is none that doeth good.

(2) God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

(3) Every one of them is gone back; they are altogether become filthy. There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

(4) Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they are bread? They have not called upon God.

(5) There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

(6) Oh, that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God Bridget back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

James 2 vs 21-26

(21) Was not Abraham, our Father, justified by works, when he had offered Issac, his son, upon the altar?

(22) Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

(23) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was called a friend of God.

(24) Ye see, then, that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

(25) In like manor also was not Rahab, the harlot, justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

(26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith with works is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

(21) Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and the like; of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in the time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians Chapter 6 vs 1 The case of a sinning brother

(1) Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

(2) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

(3) For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

(4) But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

(5) For every man shall bear his own burden

Spiritual Gifts and Their Use

1 CORINTHIANS 12 vs 1 thru 11

(1) Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethen, I would not have you ignorant.

(2) Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto thee dumb idols, even as ye were led.

(3) Wherefore, I give you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

True Ministry is the exercise of spiritual gifts. (Eph. 4:7-16)

1 CORINTHIANS 12 vs 4 thru 11

(4) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

(5) And there are differences of administrations, but it is the same Lord.

(6) And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.

(7) But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit.

(8) For to one is given, by the Spirit, the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

(9) To another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

(10) To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, various kinds of tongues; to another, the interpretation of tongues.

(11) But all these worketh that one and the very same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

(1) The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:

(2) To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

(3) To receive the instruction of wisdom, righteousness, and justice, and equity;

(4) To give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge an discretion.

(5) A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels,

(6) To understand a proverb and the interpretation, the words of the wise and their dark sayings.
