The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

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.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.

All bread is sweet to a whoremonger, he will not leave off till he die.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants;

Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

Hast thou a wife after thy mind? forsake her not: but give not thyself over to a light woman.

A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.

The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.

As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.

He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of the words of his holiness.

If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

Hear, Israel, the commandments of life: give ear to understand wisdom.

If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.

Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord and meditate continually in his commandments: he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine owns desire.

Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him.

The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.

He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.

How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?
