Exodus

1 ¶And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five
cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof;
it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. 2 And he
made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof
were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. 3 And he made all
the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons,
and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made
he of brass. 4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network
under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it. 5 And he
cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places
for the staves. 6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid
them with brass. 7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides
of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of
the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 ¶And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings
of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits: 10 Their
pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks
of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11 And for the
north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were
twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars
and their fillets of silver. 12 And for the west side were hangings
of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks
of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 13 And for the east
side eastward fifty cubits. 14 The hangings of the one side of the
gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three. 15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand
and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three,
and their sockets three. 16 All the hangings of the court round
about were of fine twined linen. 17 And the sockets for the pillars
were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver;
and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars
of the court were filleted with silver. 18 And the hanging for the
gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the
height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings
of the court. 19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets
of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their
chapiters and their fillets of silver. 20 And all the pins of the
tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 ¶This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of
testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses,
for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron
the priest. 22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the
tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. 23 And with
him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver,
and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple,
and in scarlet, and fine linen. 24 All the gold that was occupied
for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of
the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and
thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And the silver
of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents,
and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 A bekah for every man, that
is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every
one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward,
for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and
fifty men. 27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the
sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred
sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 28 And of
the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks
for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand
and four hundred shekels. 30 And therewith he made the sockets to
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar,
and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 31
And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the
court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins
of the court round about.

Corinthians 8

1 ¶ Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all
have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And
if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet
as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known
of him.
4 ¶As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered
in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the
world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there
be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there
be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God,
the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 ¶Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with
conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered
unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But
meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the
better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed
lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock
to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge
sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him
which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered
to idols; 11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish,
for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren,
and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore,
if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the
world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Corinthians 9

1 ¶ Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ
our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? 2 If I be not an apostle
unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship
are ye in the Lord.
3 ¶Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, 4 Have we not
power to eat and to drink? 5 Have we not power to lead about a sister,
a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord,
and Cephas? 6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear
working? 7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who
planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who
feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? 8 Say
I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9 For
it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth
of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt,
this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that
he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11 If
we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
shall reap your carnal things? 12 If others be partakers of this
power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used
this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel
of Christ. 13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy
things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at
the altar are partakers with the altar? 14 Even so hath the Lord
ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
15 ¶But I have used none of these things: neither have I written
these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better
for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for
necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not
the gospel! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward:
but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed
unto me. 18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the
gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse
not my power in the gospel.
19 ¶For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant
unto all, that I might gain the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became
as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the
law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the
law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not
without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain
them that are without law. 22 To the weak became I as weak, that
I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might
by all means save some. 23 And this I do for the gospel's sake,
that I might be partaker thereof with you.
24 ¶Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth
the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth
for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain
a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so
run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the
air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself
should be a castaway.
