Josh. 4:15-24 Erecting of memorial stones

Joshua 4:15-24 (King James Version)




15And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,



16Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.



17Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.



18And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.



19And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.



20And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.



21And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?



22Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.



23For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:



24That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.









Rom. 6:1-14 (6:1-23) New life in Christ

Romans 6:1-23 (King James Version)




Romans 6

1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?



2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?



3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?



4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.



5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:



6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.



7For he that is dead is freed from sin.



8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:



9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.



10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.



11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.



12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.



13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.



14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.



15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.



16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?



17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.



18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.



19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.



20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.



21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.



22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.



23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.









Mt. 7: 15-27 A tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down
 
Matthew 7:15-27 (King James Version)




15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.



16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?



17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.



18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.



19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.



20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.



21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.



22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?



23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.



24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:



25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.



26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:



27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
