Song Of The Sword

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify <FI>it<Fi> , having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad;

Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish;

`Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;

by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that <FI>is<Fi> in Christ Jesus,

and we, being of the day--let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet--a hope of salvation,

and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God,

above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench,

because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done--to stand.

put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; — read the full passage →

for God did so love the world, that His Son--the only begotten--He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. — read the full passage →
