¹⁵And the Lord said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
¹⁶And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
¹⁹So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
²⁰And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
²¹And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

Psalm 16

¹Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
²O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
³But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
⁵The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
⁶The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
⁷I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
⁸I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
⁹Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
¹⁰For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
¹¹Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

5Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
¹³For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
¹⁴For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
¹⁵But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
¹⁶This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
¹⁸But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
²⁰Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
²¹Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
²⁴And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
²⁵If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
⁵²And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
⁵³And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
⁵⁴And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
⁵⁵But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
⁵⁶For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
⁵⁷And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
⁵⁸And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
⁵⁹And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
⁶⁰Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
⁶¹And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
⁶²And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
