Isaiah 42Isaiah 431 Timothy 1Isaiah 42
1
Behold my servant, whom I uphold mine elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5
Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles
7
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8
I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10
Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13
The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar he shall prevail against his enemies.
14
I have long time holden my peace I have been still, [and] refrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman I will destroy and devour at once.
15
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16
And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17
They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods.
18
Hear, ye deaf and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19
Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20
Seeing many things, but thou observest not opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21
The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake he will magnify the law, and make [it] honourable.
22
But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23
Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25
Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.
Isaiah 43
1
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name thou [art] mine.
2
When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3
For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5
Fear not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west
6
I will say to the north, Give up and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth
7
[Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him yea, I have made him.
8
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.
10
Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11
I, [even] I, [am] the LORD and beside me [there is] no saviour.
12
I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.
13
Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14
Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.
15
I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16
Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters
17
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19
Behold, I will do a new thing now it shall spring forth shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.
20
The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21
This people have I formed for myself they shall shew forth my praise.
22
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23
Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25
I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
1 Timothy 1
1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope
2
Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].
5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
6
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling
7
Desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8
But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully
9
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine
11
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry
13
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief.
14
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15
This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief.
16
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare
19
Holding faith, and a good conscience which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
