NE-12:1 Now these [are] the priests and the Levites that went up

with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah,

Ezra,

NE-12:2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

NE-12:3 Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,

NE-12:4 Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,

NE-12:5 Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,

NE-12:6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,

NE-12:7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These [were] the chief of

the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.

NE-12:8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah,

Judah, [and] Mattaniah, [which was] over the thanksgiving, he and

his brethren.

NE-12:9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, [were] over

against them in the watches.

NE-12:10 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and

Eliashib begat Joiada,

NE-12:11 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.

NE-12:12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the

fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

NE-12:13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

NE-12:14 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

NE-12:15 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;

NE-12:16 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;

NE-12:17 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;

NE-12:18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;

NE-12:19 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;

NE-12:20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

NE-12:21 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.

NE-12:22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan,

and Jaddua, [were] recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests,

to the reign of Darius the Persian.

NE-12:23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, [were] written

in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the

son of Eliashib.

NE-12:24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and

Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to

praise [and] to give thanks, according to the commandment of David

the man of God, ward over against ward.

NE-12:25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon,

Akkub, [were] porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the

gates.

NE-12:26 These [were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the

son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of

Ezra the priest, the scribe.

NE-12:27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought

the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to

keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with

singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

NE-12:28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together,

both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the

villages of Netophathi;

NE-12:29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of

Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round

about Jerusalem.

NE-12:30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and

purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

NE-12:31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and

appointed two great [companies of them that gave] thanks, [whereof

one] went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:

NE-12:32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of

Judah,

NE-12:33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

NE-12:34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,

NE-12:35 And [certain] of the priests' sons with trumpets;

[namely], Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the

son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of

Asaph:

NE-12:36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai,

Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of

David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

NE-12:37 And at the fountain gate, which was over against them,

they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of

the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate

eastward.

NE-12:38 And the other [company of them that gave] thanks went over

against [them], and I after them, and the half of the people upon

the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad

wall;

NE-12:39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old

gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the

tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the

prison gate.

NE-12:40 So stood the two [companies of them that gave] thanks in

the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

NE-12:41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah,

Elioenai, Zechariah, [and] Hananiah, with trumpets;

NE-12:42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and

Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang

loud, with Jezrahiah [their] overseer.

NE-12:43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced:

for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the

children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar

off.

NE-12:44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for

the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the

tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the

portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced

for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

NE-12:45 And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of

their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the

commandment of David, [and] of Solomon his son.

NE-12:46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old [there were]

chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

NE-12:47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days

of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every

day his portion: and they sanctified [holy things] unto the Levites;

and the Levites sanctified [them] unto the children of Aaron.

NE-13:1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience

of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and

the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;

NE-13:2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and

with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse

them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.

NE-13:3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they

separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

NE-13:4 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight

of the chamber of the house of our God, [was] allied unto Tobiah:

NE-13:5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where

aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the

vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil,

which was commanded [to be given] to the Levites, and the singers,

and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.

NE-13:6 But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem: for in the

two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the

king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:

NE-13:7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that

Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of

the house of God.

NE-13:8 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the

household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.

NE-13:9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and

thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the

meat offering and the frankincense.

NE-13:10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not

been given [them]: for the Levites and the singers, that did the

work, were fled every one to his field.

NE-13:11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the

house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in

their place.

NE-13:12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new

wine and the oil unto the treasuries.

NE-13:13 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the

priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next

to them [was] Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for

they were counted faithful, and their office [was] to distribute

unto their brethren.

NE-13:14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out

my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the

offices thereof.

NE-13:15 In those days saw I in Judah [some] treading wine presses

on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also

wine, grapes, and figs, and all [manner of] burdens, which they

brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against

them] in the day wherein they sold victuals.

RO-7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no

good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform

that which is good I find not.

RO-7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I

would not, that I do.

RO-7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it,

but sin that dwelleth in me.

RO-7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is

present with me.

RO-7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

RO-7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the

law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin

which is in my members.

RO-7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the

body of this death?

RO-7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the

mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of

sin.

RO-8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are

in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

RO-8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made

me free from the law of sin and death.

RO-8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through

the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,

and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

RO-8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

RO-8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the

flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

RO-8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually

minded [is] life and peace.

RO-8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is

not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

RO-8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

RO-8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be

that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the

Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

RO-8:10 And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of

sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

RO-8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead

dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also

quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

RO-8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to

live after the flesh.

RO-8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye

through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

RO-8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the

sons of God.

RO-8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to

fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,

Abba, Father.

PS-94:20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,

which frameth mischief by a law?

PS-94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the

righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

PS-94:22 But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my

refuge.

PS-94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall

cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall

cut them off.

PS-95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful

noise to the rock of our salvation.

PS-95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make

a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

PS-95:3 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all

gods.

PR-21:8 The way of man [is] froward and strange: but [as for] the

pure, his work [is] right.

PR-21:9 [It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than

with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Lkj 15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that

country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Lkj 15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks

that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

Lkj 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired

servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish

with hunger!

Lkj 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,

Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

Lkj 15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one

of thy hired servants.
