Exodus 21 |
| Exodus 21:1 | Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. |
| Exodus 21:2 | If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. |
| Exodus 21:3 | If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. |
| Exodus 21:4 | If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself. |
| Exodus 21:5 | And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: |
| Exodus 21:6 | Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. |
| Exodus 21:7 | And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. |
| Exodus 21:8 | If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her. |
| Exodus 21:9 | And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. |
| Exodus 21:10 | If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. |
| Exodus 21:11 | And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money. |
| Exodus 21:12 | He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. |
| Exodus 21:13 | And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee. |
| Exodus 21:14 | But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die. |
| Exodus 21:15 | And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. |
| Exodus 21:16 | And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. |
| Exodus 21:17 | And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. |
| Exodus 21:18 | And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: |
| Exodus 21:19 | If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed. |
| Exodus 21:20 | And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. |
| Exodus 21:21 | Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. |
| Exodus 21:22 | If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. |
| Exodus 21:23 | And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, |
| Exodus 21:24 | Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, |
| Exodus 21:25 | Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. |
| Exodus 21:26 | And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake. |
| Exodus 21:27 | And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake. |
| Exodus 21:28 | If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit. |
| Exodus 21:29 | But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. |
| Exodus 21:30 | If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him. |
| Exodus 21:31 | Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. |
| Exodus 21:32 | If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. |
| Exodus 21:33 | And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein; |
| Exodus 21:34 | The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his. |
| Exodus 21:35 | And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide. |
| Exodus 21:36 | Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. |

2Chronicles 7 |
| 2Chronicles 7:1 | Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. |
| 2Chronicles 7:2 | And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’S house. |
| 2Chronicles 7:3 | And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. |
| 2Chronicles 7:4 | Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. |
| 2Chronicles 7:5 | And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. |
| 2Chronicles 7:6 | And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. |
| 2Chronicles 7:7 | Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. |
| 2Chronicles 7:8 | Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. |
| 2Chronicles 7:9 | And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. |
| 2Chronicles 7:10 | And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. |
| 2Chronicles 7:11 | Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. |
| 2Chronicles 7:12 | And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. |
| 2Chronicles 7:13 | If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; |
| 2Chronicles 7:14 | If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. |
| 2Chronicles 7:15 | Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. |
| 2Chronicles 7:16 | For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. |
| 2Chronicles 7:17 | And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; |
| 2Chronicles 7:18 | Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. |
| 2Chronicles 7:19 | But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; |
| 2Chronicles 7:20 | Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. |
| 2Chronicles 7:21 | And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? |
| 2Chronicles 7:22 | And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them. |
|

Romans 12 |
| Romans 12:1 | I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. |
| Romans 12:2 | And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. |
| Romans 12:3 | For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. |
| Romans 12:4 | For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: |
| Romans 12:5 | So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. |
| Romans 12:6 | Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; |
| Romans 12:7 | Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; |
| Romans 12:8 | Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. |
| Romans 12:9 | Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. |
| Romans 12:10 | Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; |
| Romans 12:11 | Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; |
| Romans 12:12 | Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; |
| Romans 12:13 | Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. |
| Romans 12:14 | Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. |
| Romans 12:15 | Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. |
| Romans 12:16 | Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. |

| Romans 12:18 | If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. |
