50:1 God the Righteous Judge

A Psalm of Asaph.
The Mighty One, God the LORD,Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,God will shine forth. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;A fire shall devour before Him,And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above,And to the earth, that He may judge His people: 5 "Gather M...

16:1 Collection for the Saints

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: 2 On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come. 3 And when I come, whomever you approve by your letters I will send to bear your gift to Jerusalem. 4 But if it is fitting that I go als...

49:1 The Confidence of the Foolish

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Hear this, all peoples;Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, 2 Both low and high,Rich and poor together. 3 My mouth shall speak wisdom,And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding. 4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;I will disclose my dark saying on the harp.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,When the iniquity at my heels su...

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you — unless you believed in vain.

1 Corinthians 14

14:1 Prophecy and Tongues

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all spoke...

48:1 The Glory of God in Zion

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God,In His holy mountain. 2 Beautiful in elevation,The joy of the whole earth,Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north,The city of the great King. 3 God is in her palaces;He is known as her refuge.
4 For behold, the kings assembled,They passed by together. 5 They saw it, and so they marveled;T...

1 Corinthians 13

13:1 The Greatest Gift

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but...
