Psalm 13

¹How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
³Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
⁴Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
⁵But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
⁶I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
¹³Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
¹⁴For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
¹⁷But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
¹⁸Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
¹⁹I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
²⁰For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
²¹What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
²²But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
²³For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
