Matthew 7:7-12:
   7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:    8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.    9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?    10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?    11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?    12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

 
Joshua 8    1And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:    2And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.    3So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.    4And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:    5And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,    6(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.    7Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.    8And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.    9Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.    10And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.    11And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.    12And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.    13And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.    14And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.    15And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.    16And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.    17And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.    18And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.    19And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.    20And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.    21And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.    22And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.    23And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.    24And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.    25And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.    26For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.    27Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.    28And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.    29And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

 
2 Corinthians
 5    1For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.    2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:    3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.    4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.    5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.    6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:    7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)    8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
 
1 Corinthians 15:29-34:
   29Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?    30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?    31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.    32If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.    33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.    34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

 
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.    25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:    26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.    27But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.    28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.    29And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.    30And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
 
Galatians 6    1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.    2Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.    3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.    4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.    5For every man shall bear his own burden.
 
Ecclesiastes 5    1Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.    2Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.    3For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.    4When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.    5Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.    6Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?    7For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
 
 Ezekiel 16:60-63:
   60Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.    61Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.    62And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:    63That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
 
Ezra 8:21-23:
   21Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.    22For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.    23So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.

 
1 Timothy 3:14-16:
   14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:    15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.    16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
