<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v9_15">15</span> But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these things that it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyone should make my boasting void. <span class="v" id="v9_16">16</span> For if I preach the Good News, I have nothing to boast about, for necessity is laid on me; but woe is to me if I don’t preach the Good News. <span class="v" id="v9_17">17</span> For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward.

I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some. <span class="v" id="v9_23">23</span> Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it. <span class="v" id="v9_24">24</span> Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize?

So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v14_26">26</span> What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up. <span class="v" id="v14_27">27</span> If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret. <span class="v" id="v14_28">28</span> But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God. <span class="v" id="v14_29">29</span> Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern. <span class="v" id="v14_30">30</span> But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent. <span class="v" id="v14_31">31</span> For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted. <span class="v" id="v14_32">32</span> The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, <span class="v" id="v14_33">33</span> for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints. <span class="v" id="v14_34">34</span> Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,<a class="noteref" id="fnref14_3" href="#fn14_3"><sup>✡︎</sup></a> <span class="v" id="v14_35">35</span> if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.” <span class="v" id="v14_36">36</span> What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v14_37">37</span> If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord. <span class="v" id="v14_38">38</span> But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v14_39">39</span> Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages. <span class="v" id="v14_40">40</span> Let all things be done decently and in order.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_1">1</span> Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, <span class="v" id="v15_2">2</span> by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_3">3</span> For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, <span class="v" id="v15_4">4</span> that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, <span class="v" id="v15_5">5</span> and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. <span class="v" id="v15_6">6</span> Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep. <span class="v" id="v15_7">7</span> Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, <span class="v" id="v15_8">8</span> and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also. <span class="v" id="v15_9">9</span> For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God. <span class="v" id="v15_10">10</span> But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. <span class="v" id="v15_11">11</span> Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_12">12</span> Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? <span class="v" id="v15_13">13</span> But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised. <span class="v" id="v15_14">14</span> If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith also is in vain. <span class="v" id="v15_15">15</span> Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn’t raise up if it is true that the dead are not raised. <span class="v" id="v15_16">16</span> For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Christ been raised. <span class="v" id="v15_17">17</span> If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. <span class="v" id="v15_18">18</span> Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. <span class="v" id="v15_19">19</span> If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_35">35</span> But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?” <span class="v" id="v15_36">36</span> You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies. <span class="v" id="v15_37">37</span> That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind. <span class="v" id="v15_38">38</span> But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. <span class="v" id="v15_39">39</span> All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. <span class="v" id="v15_40">40</span> There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial. <span class="v" id="v15_41">41</span> There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v15_42">42</span> So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable. <span class="v" id="v15_43">43</span> It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. <span class="v" id="v15_44">44</span> It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.

Now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister to his people Israel, and prepare yourselves by your fathers’ houses and kindred, <span class="v" id="v1_5">5</span> according to the writing of King David of Israel, and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son. Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of your Levite families who minister in the presence of your kindred the descendants of Israel. <span class="v" id="v1_6">6</span> Offer the Passover in order, prepare the sacrifices for your kindred, and keep the Passover according to the Lord’s commandment, which was given to Moses.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_7">7</span> To the people which were present, Josias gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves. These things were given from the king’s possessions, as he promised, to the people and to the priests and Levites. <span class="v" id="v1_8">8</span> Helkias, Zacharias, and <a class="noteref" id="fnref1_3" href="#fn1_3"><sup>*</sup></a>Esyelus, the rulers of the temple, gave to the priests for the Passover two thousand six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves. <span class="v" id="v1_9">9</span> Jeconias, Samaias, Nathanael his brother, Sabias, Ochielus, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the Passover five thousand sheep and seven hundred calves.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_10">10</span> When these things were done, the priests and Levites, having the unleavened bread, stood in proper order according to the kindred, <span class="v" id="v1_11">11</span> and according to the several divisions by fathers’ houses, before the people, to offer to the Lord as it is written in the book of Moses. They did this in the morning. <span class="v" id="v1_12">12</span> They roasted the Passover lamb with fire, as required. They boiled the sacrifices in the brazen vessels and caldrons with a pleasing smell, <span class="v" id="v1_13">13</span> and set them before all the people. Afterward they prepared for themselves and for their kindred the priests, the sons of Aaron. <span class="v" id="v1_14">14</span> For the priests offered the fat until night. The Levites prepared for themselves and for their kindred the priests, the sons of Aaron. <span class="v" id="v1_15">15</span> The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David: Asaph, Zacharias, and Eddinus, who represented the king. <span class="v" id="v1_16">16</span> Moreover the gatekeepers were at every gate. No one needed to depart from his daily duties, for their kindred the Levites prepared for them.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_17">17</span> So the things that belonged to the Lord’s sacrifices were accomplished in that day, in holding the Passover, <span class="v" id="v1_18">18</span> and offering sacrifices on the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of King Josias. <span class="v" id="v1_19">19</span> So the children of Israel which were present at that time held the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. <span class="v" id="v1_20">20</span> Such a Passover had not been held in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel. <span class="v" id="v1_21">21</span> Indeed, none of the kings of Israel held such a Passover as Josias with the priests, the Levites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were present in their dwelling place at Jerusalem. <span class="v" id="v1_22">22</span> This Passover was held in the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias. <span class="v" id="v1_23">23</span> The works of Josias were upright before his Lord with a heart full of godliness. <span class="v" id="v1_24">24</span> Moreover the things that came to pass in his days have been written in times past, concerning those who sinned and did wickedly against the Lord more than any other people or kingdom, and how they grieved him <a class="noteref" id="fnref1_4" href="#fn1_4"><sup>†</sup></a>exceedingly, so that the Lord’s words were confirmed against Israel.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_25">25</span> <a class="noteref" id="fnref1_5" href="#fn1_5"><sup>✡</sup></a>Now after all these acts of Josias, it came to pass that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates; and Josias went out against him. <span class="v" id="v1_26">26</span> But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, “What do I have to do with you, O king of Judea? <span class="v" id="v1_27">27</span> I wasn’t sent out from the Lord God against you, for my war is against the Euphrates. Now the Lord is with me, yes, the Lord is with me hastening me forward. Depart from me, and don’t be against the Lord.”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_25">25</span> <a class="noteref" id="fnref1_5" href="#fn1_5"><sup>✡︎</sup></a>Now after all these acts of Josias, it came to pass that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to make war at Carchemish on the Euphrates; and Josias went out against him. <span class="v" id="v1_26">26</span> But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, “What do I have to do with you, O king of Judea? <span class="v" id="v1_27">27</span> I wasn’t sent out from the Lord God against you, for my war is against the Euphrates.

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v1_28">28</span> However, Josias didn’t turn back to his chariot, but tried to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy from the Lord’s mouth, <span class="v" id="v1_29">29</span> but joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and the commanders came down against King Josias. <span class="v" id="v1_30">30</span> Then the king said to his servants, “Carry me away out of the battle, for I am very weak!” Immediately his servants carried him away out of the army. <span class="v" id="v1_31">31</span> Then he got into his second chariot. After he was brought back to Jerusalem he died, and was buried in the tomb of his ancestors. <span class="v" id="v1_32">32</span> All Judea mourned for Josias. Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him to this day. This was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel. <span class="v" id="v1_33">33</span> These things are written in the book of the histories of the kings of Judea, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, and the things now told, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_8">8</span> Then the chief of the families of Judah and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up, with the priests, the Levites, and all whose spirit the Lord had stirred to go up, to build the house for the Lord which is in Jerusalem. <span class="v" id="v2_9">9</span> Those who lived around them helped them in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with very many gifts that were vowed by a great number whose minds were so moved.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_10">10</span> King Cyrus also brought out the holy vessels of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem and had stored in his temple of idols. <span class="v" id="v2_11">11</span> Now when King Cyrus of the Persians had brought them out, he delivered them to Mithradates his treasurer, <span class="v" id="v2_12">12</span> and by him they were delivered to <a class="noteref" id="fnref2_2" href="#fn2_2"><sup>*</sup></a>Sanabassar the governor of Judea. <span class="v" id="v2_13">13</span> This was the number of them: one thousand gold cups, one thousand silver cups, twenty-nine silver censers, thirty gold bowls, two thousand four hundred ten silver bowls, and one thousand other vessels. <span class="v" id="v2_14">14</span> So all the vessels of gold and of silver were brought up, even five thousand four hundred seventy-nine, <span class="v" id="v2_15">15</span> and were carried back by Sanabassar, together with the returning exiles, from Babylon to Jerusalem.</p>

For this cause, this city was laid waste. <span class="v" id="v2_24">24</span> Therefore now we do declare to you, O lord the king, that if this city is built again, and its walls set up again, you will from then on have no passage into Coelesyria and Phoenicia.”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_25">25</span> Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the recorder, Beeltethmus, Samellius the scribe, and to the rest of their associates who lived in Samaria, Syria, and Phoenicia, as follows:</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v2_26">26</span> “I have read the letter which you have sent to me. Therefore I commanded to make search, and it has been found that that city of old time has fought against kings, <span class="v" id="v2_27">27</span> and the men were given to rebellion and war in it, and that mighty and fierce kings were in Jerusalem, who reigned and exacted tribute in Coelesyria and Phoenicia. <span class="v" id="v2_28">28</span> Now therefore I have commanded to prevent those men from building the city, and heed to be taken that there be nothing done contrary to this order, <span class="v" id="v2_29">29</span> and that those wicked doings proceed no further to the annoyance of kings.” <span class="v" id="v2_30">30</span> Then King Artaxerxes, his letters being read, Rathumus, and Samellius the scribe, and the rest of their associates, went in haste to Jerusalem with cavalry and a multitude of people in battle array, and began to hinder the builders. So the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of King Darius of the Persians.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v6_8">8</span> “To King Darius, greetings. Let it be fully known to our lord the king, that having come into the country of Judea, and entered into the city of Jerusalem, we found in the city of Jerusalem the elders of the Jews that were of the captivity <span class="v" id="v6_9">9</span> building a great new house for the Lord of hewn and costly stones, with timber laid in the walls. <span class="v" id="v6_10">10</span> Those works are being done with great speed. The work goes on prosperously in their hands, and it is being accomplished with all glory and diligence. <span class="v" id="v6_11">11</span> Then we asked these elders, saying, ‘By whose authority are you building this house and laying the foundations of these works?’ <span class="v" id="v6_12">12</span> Therefore, to the intent that we might give knowledge to you by writing who the leaders were, we questioned them, and we required of them the names in writing of their principal men. <span class="v" id="v6_13">13</span> So they gave us this answer, ‘We are the servants of the Lord who made heaven and earth. <span class="v" id="v6_14">14</span> As for this house, it was built many years ago by a great and strong king of Israel, and was finished. <span class="v" id="v6_15">15</span> But when our fathers sinned against the Lord of Israel who is in heaven, and provoked him to wrath, he gave them over into the hands of King Nabuchodonosor of Babylon, king of the Chaldeans. <span class="v" id="v6_16">16</span> They pulled down the house, burned it, and carried away the people captive to Babylon. <span class="v" id="v6_17">17</span> But in the first year that Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon, King Cyrus wrote that this house should be rebuilt. <span class="v" id="v6_18">18</span> The holy vessels of gold and of silver that Nabuchodonosor had carried away out of the house at Jerusalem and had set up in his own temple, those King Cyrus brought out of the temple in Babylonia, and they were delivered to Zorobabel and to <a class="noteref" id="fnref6_6" href="#fn6_6"><sup>§</sup></a>Sanabassarus the governor, <span class="v" id="v6_19">19</span> with commandment that he should carry away all these vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem, and that the Lord’s temple should be built on its site. <span class="v" id="v6_20">20</span> Then Sanabassarus, having come here, laid the foundations of the Lord’s house which is in Jerusalem. From that time to this we are still building. It is not yet fully completed.’ <span class="v" id="v6_21">21</span> Now therefore, if it seems good, O king, let a search be made among the royal archives of our lord the king that are in Babylon. <span class="v" id="v6_22">22</span> If it is found that the building of the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem has been done with the consent of King Cyrus, and it seems good to our lord the king, let him send us directions concerning these things.”</p>

His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba. <span class="v" id="v12_2">2</span> Jehoash did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. <span class="v" id="v12_3">3</span> However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v12_4">4</span> Jehoash said to the priests, “All the money of the holy things that is brought into the LORD’s house, in current money, the money of the people for whom each man is evaluated,<a class="noteref" id="fnref12_1" href="#fn12_1"><sup>✡</sup></a> and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the LORD’s house, <span class="v" id="v12_5">5</span> let the priests take it to them, each man from his donor; and they shall repair the damage to the house, wherever any damage is found.”</p>

Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for repair of the damage to the house.”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v12_8">8</span> The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, and not repair the damage to the house. <span class="v" id="v12_9">9</span> But Jehoiada the priest took a chest and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the LORD’s house; and the priests who kept the threshold put all the money that was brought into the LORD’s house into it. <span class="v" id="v12_10">10</span> When they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put it in bags and counted the money that was found in the LORD’s house. <span class="v" id="v12_11">11</span> They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the LORD’s house; and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders who worked on the LORD’s house, <span class="v" id="v12_12">12</span> and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the damage to the LORD’s house, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. <span class="v" id="v12_13">13</span> But there were not made for the LORD’s house cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the LORD’s house; <span class="v" id="v12_14">14</span> for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired the LORD’s house with it. <span class="v" id="v12_15">15</span> Moreover they didn’t demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully. <span class="v" id="v12_16">16</span> The money for the trespass offerings and the money for the sin offerings was not brought into the LORD’s house. It was the priests’.</p>

<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v4_8">8</span> Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel, <span class="v" id="v4_9">9</span> if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, <span class="v" id="v4_10">10</span> may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him. <span class="v" id="v4_11">11</span> He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’<a class="noteref" id="fnref4_1" href="#fn4_1"><sup>✡</sup></a> <span class="v" id="v4_12">12</span> There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v4_8">8</span> Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel, <span class="v" id="v4_9">9</span> if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, <span class="v" id="v4_10">10</span> may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him. <span class="v" id="v4_11">11</span> He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’<a class="noteref" id="fnref4_1" href="#fn4_1"><sup>✡︎</sup></a> <span class="v" id="v4_12">12</span> There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v4_13">13</span> Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus. <span class="v" id="v4_14">14</span> Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. <span class="v" id="v4_15">15</span> But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, <span class="v" id="v4_16">16</span> saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it. <span class="v" id="v4_17">17</span> But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.” <span class="v" id="v4_18">18</span> They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v4_19">19</span> But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves, <span class="v" id="v4_20">20</span> for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”</p>
<p class="p"><span class="v" id="v4_21">21</span> When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done. <span class="v" id="v4_22">22</span> For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.</p>

For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law. <span class="v" id="v3_22">22</span> But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.</p>

Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? <span class="v" id="v12_10">10</span> For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. <span class="v" id="v12_11">11</span> All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. <span class="v" id="v12_12">12</span> Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, <a class="noteref" id="fnref12_2" href="#fn12_2"><sup>✡︎</sup></a> <span class="v" id="v12_13">13</span> and make straight paths for your feet,<a class="noteref" id="fnref12_3" href="#fn12_3"><sup>✡︎</sup></a> so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.</p>

He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. <span class="v" id="v1_6">6</span> They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. <span class="v" id="v1_7">7</span> But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.</p>
