Hosea
13
|
|
1 ¶When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel;
but when he offended in Baal, he died.
2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images
of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding,
all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men
that sacrifice kiss the calves.
3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early
dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind
out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt
know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
5 ¶I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great
drought.
6 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled,
and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way
will I observe them:
8 I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and
will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them
like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
9 ¶O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine
help.
10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in
all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king
and princes?
11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is
an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking
forth of children.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem
them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will
be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall
come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and
his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up:
he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against
her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed
in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

Thessalonians 1
|
|
1 ¶Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord
Jesus Christ.
2 ¶We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention
of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of
love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight
of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power,
and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner
of men we were among you for your sake.
6 ¶And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received
the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and
Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia
and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread
abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had
unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living
and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the
dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Thessalonians 2
|
|
1 ¶For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you,
that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully
entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak
unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor
in guile:
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel,
even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our
hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know,
nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others,
when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7 ¶But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth
her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have
imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own
souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring
night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you,
we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably
we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one
of you, as a father doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his
kingdom and glory.
13 ¶For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because,
when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received
it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God,
which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which
in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things
of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have
persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all
men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved,
to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to
the uttermost.
17 ¶But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time
in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see
your face with great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and
again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not
even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
