DAN_1: Daily Devotional 1 Year Bible
DAN_1:14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
DAN_1:15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
DAN_1:16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
DAN_1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
DAN_1:18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
DAN_1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
DAN_1:20 And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his realm.
DAN_1:21 And Daniel continued [even] unto the first year of king Cyrus.
DAN_2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
DAN_2:2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
DAN_2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
DAN_2:4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
DAN_2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
DAN_2:6 But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
DAN_2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
DAN_2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
DAN_2:9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there is but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.
DAN_2:10 The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore [there is] no king, lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
DAN_2:11 And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
DAN_2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.
DAN_2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
DAN_2:14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of Babylon:
DAN_2:15 He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why [is] the decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
DAN_2:16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.
DAN_2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
DAN_2:18 That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.
DAN_2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
DAN_2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
DAN_2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
DAN_2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what [is] in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
DAN_2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.
DAN_2:24 Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation.
DAN_2:25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
DAN_2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
DAN_2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;
DAN_2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
DAN_2:29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
DAN_2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
DAN_2:31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.
DAN_2:32 This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
DAN_2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
DAN_2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
DAN_2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
DAN_2:36 This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
DAN_2:37 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
DAN_2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.
DAN_2:39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
DAN_2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
DAN_2:41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
DAN_2:42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
DAN_2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
1JO_1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1JO_1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1JO_1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1JO_2:1 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:
1JO_2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
1JO_2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1JO_2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1JO_2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1JO_2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1JO_2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
1JO_2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
1JO_2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1JO_2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1JO_2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
1JO_2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
1JO_2:13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
1JO_2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1JO_2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1JO_2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1JO_2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1JO_2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1JO_2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
PSA_137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.
PSA_137:4 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
PSA_137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning].
PSA_137:6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
PSA_137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze [it], raze [it, even] to the foundation thereof.
PSA_137:8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
PRO_29:18 Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he.
PRO_29:19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
JOHJ_17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
JOHJ_17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
JOHJ_17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
JOHJ_17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
JOHJ_17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
