But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause, KNOW ye not that so many shall be in danger of the of us as were baptized into judgment: and whosoever shall JESUS CHRIST, were baptized say to his brother, Raca, shall into his death? Therefore we be in danger of the council : are buried with him by baptism but whosoever shall say, Thou into death; that like as CHRIST fool, shall be in danger of hell was raised up from the dead by fire. Therefore, if thou bring the glory of the Father, even thy gift to the altar, and there so we also should walk in rememberest that thy brother newness of life. For if we have hath aught against thee, leave been planted together in the there thy gift before the altar, likeness of his death, we shall and go thy way, first be reconbe also in the likeness of his ciled to thy brother, and then resurrection: knowing this, come and offer thy gift. Agree that our old man is crucified with thine adversary quickly, with him, that the body of sin whiles thou art in the way with might be destroyed, that hence- him; lest at any time the forth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead, is freed from sin. Now, if we be dead with CHRIST, we believe that we shall also live with him, knowing that CHRIST being means raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more farthing. dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin; but alive unto God, through JESUS CHRIST Our Lord.

of your flesh for as ye have
yielded your members servants
to uncleanness, and to iniquity,
unto iniquity; even so
yield your members servants
to righteousness, unto holiness.
For when ye were the servants
of sin, ye
were free from
righteousness. What fruit had
ye then in those things, whereof
ye are now ashamed? for the
end of those things is death.
But now being made free from
sin, and become servants to
GOD, ye have your fruit unto
holiness, and the end everlasting
life. For the wages of sin is
death but the gift of Gon is
eternal life, through JESUS

IN those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, JESUS called his BRETHREN, we are debtors disciples unto him, and saith not to the flesh, to live after unto them, I have compassion the flesh: for if ye live after on the multitude, because they the flesh, ye shall die; but if have now been with me three ye through the SPIRIT do days, and have nothing to eat: and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before

mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit or adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The SPIRIT itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of GOD. And if children, then heirs ; heirs of GoD, and joint heirs with CHRIST: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon. whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but GoD is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
