Leviticus 17

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp,4 and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah.6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.7 And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations.

8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,9 and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

14 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.15 And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

Psalm 20

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble;2 Send thee help from the sanctuary,3 Remember all thy offerings,

4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire,5 We will triumph in thy salvation,6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed;7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;8 They are bowed down and fallen;9 Save, Jehovah:

Psalm 21

1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah;2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire,

3 For thou meetest him with the blessings of goodness:4 He asked life of thee, thou gavest it him,5 His glory is great in thy salvation:6 For thou makest him most blessed for ever:7 For the king trusteth in Jehovah;8 Thy hand will find out all thine enemies;9 Thou wilt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger:10 Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth,11 For they intended evil against thee;12 For thou wilt make them turn their back;13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength:

Proverbs 31

1 The words of king Lemuel; the oracle which his mother taught him.

2 What, my son? and what, O son of my womb?3 Give not thy strength unto women,4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine;5 Lest they drink, and forget the law,6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish,7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,8 Open thy mouth for the dumb,9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously,10 A worthy woman who can find?11 The heart of her husband trusteth in her,12 She doeth him good and not evil13 She seeketh wool and flax,14 She is like the merchant-ships;15 She riseth also while it is yet night,16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it;17 She girdeth her loins with strength,18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable:19 She layeth her hands to the distaff,20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor;21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household;22 She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry;23 Her husband is known in the gates,24 She maketh linen garments and selleth them,25 Strength and dignity are her clothing;26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom;27 She looketh well to the ways of her household,28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed;29 Many daughters have done worthily,30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain;31 Give her of the fruit of her hands;

1 Timothy 2

1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;2 for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.5 For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,6 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;7 whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.8 I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.9 In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works.11 Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve;14 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:15 but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
