Psalm 27

¹The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
²When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
³Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
⁴One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
⁵For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
⁶And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
⁷Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
⁸When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
⁹Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
¹⁰When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
¹¹Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
¹²Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
¹⁴Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

19And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
²And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
³And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
¹²And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
¹³For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
¹⁴And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
¹⁵And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
¹⁶And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
¹⁷And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
²⁴Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
²⁵And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
²⁶But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
²⁷And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
²⁸And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

1Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
²Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and our’s:
³Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
⁵That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
⁶Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
⁷So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
⁸Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹⁰Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
¹¹For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
¹²Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
¹³Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
¹⁴I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
¹⁵Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
¹⁶And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
¹⁷For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
