Popular passages
Page 47 - Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you...

Page 6 - Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity.
Page 56 - Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Page 52 - Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Page 56 - For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
