Lu 20:34 And Jesus answering said to them, The
children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that
world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry,
nor are given in marriage: 36 Neither can they die any
more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children
of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in
the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the
resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the
resurrection of damnation.
11:11 These things said
he: and after that he said to them, Our friend Lazarus
sleeps; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do
well. 13 However, Jesus spoke of his death: but they
thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 14
Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Rom 5:12 Why, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed on all men, for that
all have sinned: 17 For if by one man’s offense death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life
by one, Jesus Christ.)
6:9 Knowing that Christ being
raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more
dominion over him. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your
mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.
1 Cor 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five
hundred brothers at once; of whom the greater part remain to
this present, but some are fallen asleep.
15:17 And
if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in
your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in
Christ are perished.
15:21 For since by man came
death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.
15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed
is death.
15:53 For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and
this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your sting?
O grave, where is your victory? 56 The sting of death is
sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
2 Cor
4:11 For we which live are always delivered to death for
Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our mortal flesh.
5:1 For 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. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring
to be clothed on with our house which is from heaven: 3
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being
burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed
on, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5:6
Therefore 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:) 8 We are confident,
I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to
be present with the Lord.
Php 1:21 For to me
to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live
in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I
shall choose I know not. 23 For I am in a strait between
two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which
is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is
more needful for you.
1 Th 4:14 For if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also
which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this
we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are
alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent
them which are asleep.
1 Tim 6:7 For we
brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can
carry nothing out.
2 Tim 1:10 But is now made
manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who
has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to
light through the gospel:
Heb 2:14 For as much
then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through
death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that
is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of
death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
9:27 And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after
this the judgment:
11:5 By faith Enoch was translated
that he should not see death; and was not found, because God
had translated him: for before his translation he had this
testimony, that he pleased God.
11:13 These all died
in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen
them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced
them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on
the earth.
2 Pe 1:13 Yes, I think it meet, as
long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting
you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put
off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has
showed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavor that you may be
able after my decease to have these things always in
remembrance.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away.
Gen
3:19 In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you
return to the ground; for out of it were you taken: for dust
you are, and to dust shall you return.
5:24 And Enoch
walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
7:21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, both of
fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping
thing that creeps on the earth, and every man: 22 All in
whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in
the dry land, died.
49:33 And when Jacob had made an
end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the
bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered to his
people.
1 Sam 2:6 The LORD kills, and makes
alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up.
2 Ki 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on,
and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire,
and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah
went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it,
and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel,
and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he
took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
Job 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and
shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and
worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s
womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and
the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
10:9 Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as
the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?
14:1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of
trouble. 2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down:
he flees also as a shadow, and continues not. 5 Seeing
his days are determined, the number of his months are with
you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
14:10 But man dies, and wastes away: yes, man gives up
the ghost, and where is he? 11 As the waters fail from
the sea, and the flood decays and dries up: 12 So man
lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they
shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
16:22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way
from where I shall not return.
17:14 I have said to
corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my
mother, and my sister. 15 And where is now my hope? as
for my hope, who shall see it? 16 They shall go down to
the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the
firstborn of death shall devour his strength. 14 His
confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it
shall bring him to the king of terrors. 15 It shall dwell
in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone
shall be scattered on his habitation. 16 His roots shall
be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall
have no name in the street.
20:11 His bones are full
of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in
the dust.
21:21 For what pleasure has he in his house
after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the
middle?
21:23 One dies in his full strength, being
wholly at ease and quiet. 24 His breasts are full of
milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. 25 And
another dies in the bitterness of his soul, and never eats
with pleasure. 26 They shall lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms shall cover them.
34:14 If he set his
heart on man, if he gather to himself his spirit and his
breath; 15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall
turn again to dust.
38:17 Have the gates of death
been opened to you? or have you seen the doors of the shadow
of death?
Ps 39:4 LORD, make me to know my
end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know
how frail I am. 5 Behold, you have made my days as an
handbreadth; and my age is as nothing before you: truly
every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
49:10 For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool
and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to
others. 11 Their inward thought is, that their houses
shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all
generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honor stays not: he is like the
beasts that perish.
89:47 Remember how short my time
is: why have you made all men in vain? 48 What man is he
that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his
soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
90:3 You turn
man to destruction; and say, Return, you children of men.
4 For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday
when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 5 You carry
them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like grass which grows up. 6 In the
morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is
cut down, and wither. 10 The days of our years are three
score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be
fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for
it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 12 So teach us to
number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
104:29 You hide your face, they are troubled: you take
away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30
You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew
the face of the earth.
107:18 Their soul abhors all
manner of meat; and they draw near to the gates of death.
116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of
his saints.
118:17 I shall not die, but live, and
declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD has chastened
me sore: but he has not given me over to death.
146:3
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in
whom there is no help. 4 His breath goes forth, he
returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Pr 11:7 When a wicked man dies, his expectation
shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perishes.
14:32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the
righteous has hope in his death.
Ec 2:16 For
there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool
for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall
all be forgotten. And how dies the wise man? as the fool.
3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to
every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and
a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that
which is planted;
3:19 For that which befalls the
sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as
the one dies, so dies the other; yes, they have all one
breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for
all is vanity. 20 All go to one place; all are of the
dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knows the spirit
of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that
goes downward to the earth?
5:15 As he came forth of
his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came,
and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away
in his hand. 16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all
points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he
that has labored for the wind?
6:12 For who knows
what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain
life which he spends as a shadow? for who can tell a man
what shall be after him under the sun? 7:1 A good name is
better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the
day of one’s birth. 2 It is better to go to the house of
mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is
the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the
heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
8:8 There is
no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit;
neither has he power in the day of death: and there is no
discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver
those that are given to it.
9:3 This is an evil among
all things that are done under the sun, that there is one
event to all: yes, also the heart of the sons of men is full
of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and
after that they go to the dead. 4 For to him that is
joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is
better than a dead lion. 5 For the living know that they
shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have
they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now
perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in
any thing that is done under the sun.
12:6 Or ever
the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or
the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken
at the cistern. 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth
as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; all is vanity.
Isa 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the
face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that
is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in
victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all
faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from
off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
51:12
I, even I, am he that comforts you: who are you, that you
should be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of
man which shall be made as grass;
65:20 There shall
be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man that has
not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred
years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall
be accursed.
Hab 2:5 Yes also, because he
transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at
home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and
cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and
heaps to him all people:
Man the image of God
1 Cor 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying,
having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every
woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered
dishonors her head: for that is even all one as if she were
shaven. 6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also
be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or
shaven, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not
to cover his head, for as much as he is the image and glory
of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the
man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for
the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power
on her head because of the angels.
2 Cor 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face
beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed
into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the
Spirit of the LORD.
4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it
is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this
world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest
the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine to them.
Col 1:14 In whom
we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness
of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of every creature:
Heb 1:3 Who being
the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the
right hand of the Majesty on high:
Gen 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creeps on the earth. 27 So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female
created he them.
5:1 This is the book of the
generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the
likeness of God made he him; 2 Male and female created he
them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the
day when they were created. 3 And Adam lived an hundred
and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and
after his image; and called his name Seth:
9:6
Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man.
Human body, soul and spirit
Mt 6:22 The light
of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single,
your whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if your
eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If
therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is
that darkness! 25 Therefore I say to you, Take no thought
for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink;
nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the
life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.
11:29 Take my yoke on
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
you shall find rest to your souls.
16:26 For what is
a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose
his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his
soul?
26:38 Then said he to them, My soul is
exceeding sorrowful, even to death: tarry you here, and
watch with me.
Mr 2:8 And immediately when
Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within
themselves, he said to them, Why reason you these things in
your hearts?
Lu 1:46 And Mary said, My soul
does magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit has rejoiced in
God my Savior.
2:35 (Yes, a sword shall pierce
through your own soul also,) that the thoughts of many
hearts may be revealed.
12:18 And he said, This will
I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and
there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I
will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for
many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20
But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be
required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you
have provided?
Joh 2:18 Then answered the Jews
and said to him, What sign show you to us, seeing that you
do these things? 19 Jesus answered and said to them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple
in building, and will you raise it up in three days? 21
But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Acts
2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because you
will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you suffer your
Holy One to see corruption.
2:41 Then they that
gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day
there were added to them about three thousand souls.
19:21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the
spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to
go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must
also see Rome.
Rom 1:9 For God is my witness,
whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that
without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,
that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.
8:22
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in
pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but
ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
1
Cor 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man, save
the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God
knows no man, but the Spirit of God.
6:19 What? know
you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which
is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?
20 For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in
your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
7:33
But he that is married cares for the things that are of the
world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is difference
also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares
for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in
body and in spirit: but she that is married cares for the
things of the world, how she may please her husband.
13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and
though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it
profits me nothing.
15:44 It is sown a natural body;
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and
there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The
first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a quickening spirit. 46 However, that was not first
which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward
that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the
earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and
Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your
part they have supplied. 18 For they have refreshed my
spirit and your’s: therefore acknowledge you them that are
such.
2 Cor 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to
Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me
of the Lord, 13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I
found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I
went from there into Macedonia.
5:6 Therefore 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:) 8 We are confident, I say, and
willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present
with the Lord.
7:13 Therefore we were comforted in
your comfort: yes, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the
joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the
body, I cannot tell: God knows;) such an one caught up to
the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man, (whether in
the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knows;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard
unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to
utter.
Gal 6:18 Brothers, the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Eph
5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.
He that loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no man ever
yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it,
even as the Lord the church:
Php 3:21 Who
shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to
his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is
able even to subdue all things to himself.
Col
2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you
in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the
steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
1 Th
5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I
pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24
Faithful is he that calls you, who also will do it.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not
manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened
to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
10:39 But
we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them
that believe to the saving of the soul.
12:22 But you
are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of
angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the
firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge
of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;
and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in
the body.
Jas 1:21 Why lay apart all
filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your
souls.
2:26 For as the body without the spirit is
dead, so faith without works is dead also.
4:5 Do you
think that the scripture said in vain, The spirit that
dwells in us lusts to envy?
5:20 Let him know, that
he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall
save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even
the salvation of your souls.
3 Joh 1:2 Beloved, I
wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health,
even as your soul prospers.
Jude 1:19 These be
they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the
Spirit.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that
were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which
they held:
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on
them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for
the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark on their
foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned
with Christ a thousand years.
Gen 2:7 And the
LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.
9:4 But flesh with the life thereof,
which is the blood thereof, shall you not eat. 5 And
surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand
of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at
the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of
man. 6 Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood
be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Ex
35:21 And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up,
and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought
the LORD’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy
garments.
De 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD: 5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all
your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
1 Ki 17:17 And it came to pass after these
things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the
house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there
was no breath left in him. 21 And he stretched himself on
the child three times, and cried to the LORD, and said, O
LORD my God, I pray you, let this child’s soul come into him
again. 22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the
soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
Job 12:9 Who knows not in all these that the hand
of the LORD has worked this? 10 In whose hand is the soul
of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
14:22 But his flesh on him shall have pain, and his soul
within him shall mourn.
19:26 And though after my
skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see
God:
27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of
the Almighty gives them understanding.
Ps 13:2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in
my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
31:9 Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my
eye is consumed with grief, yes, my soul and my belly.
34:22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and
none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you
disquieted in me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise
him for the help of his countenance. 6 O my God, my soul
is cast down within me: therefore will I remember you from
the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill
Mizar. 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are
you disquieted within me? hope you in God: for I shall yet
praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly
sticks to the earth.
49:7 None of them can by any
means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it
ceases for ever:) 9 That he should still live for ever,
and not see corruption.
63:1 O God, you are my God;
early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh
longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
71:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you;
and my soul, which you have redeemed.
73:26 My flesh
and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and
my portion for ever.
84:2 My soul longs, yes, even
faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh
cries out for the living God.
103:1 Bless the LORD, O
my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals
all your diseases; 4 Who redeems your life from
destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender
mercies;
142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within
me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have
they privately laid a snare for me.
Pr 3:21 My
son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom
and discretion: 22 So shall they be life to your soul,
and grace to your neck.
8:35 For whoever finds me
finds life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. 36 But he
that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate
me love death.
11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a
tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.
20:27
The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all
the inward parts of the belly.
29:24 Whoever is
partner with a thief hates his own soul: he hears cursing,
and denudes it not.
Isa 53:12 Therefore will I
divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the
spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul to
death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he
bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.
57:15 For thus said the high and lofty
One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in
the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite
and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and
to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 16 For I will
not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for
the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have
made.
66:2 For all those things has my hand made, and
all those things have been, said the LORD: but to this man
will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite
spirit, and trembles at my word.
Eze 13:3 Thus
said the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow
their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
18:4 Behold,
all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the
soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.
Dan 7:15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the
middle of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for
Israel, said the LORD, which stretches forth the heavens,
and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit
of man within him.
Drinking, wine
Mt 9:16 No man puts a piece of new cloth to an
old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up takes
from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17 Neither
do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles
break, and the wine runs out, and the bottles perish: but
they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delays his coming; 49 And shall begin to
smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day
when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not
aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him
his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
26:27 And he took the cup, and
gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink you all of
it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say
to you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the
vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my
Father’s kingdom.
27:34 They gave him vinegar to
drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he
would not drink.
Lu 1:15 For he shall be great
in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor
strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost,
even from his mother’s womb.
7:31 And the Lord said,
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and
to what are they like? 32 They are like to children
sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and
saying, We have piped to you, and you have not danced; we
have mourned to you, and you have not wept. 33 For John
the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and
you say, He has a devil. 34 The Son of man is come eating
and drinking; and you say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a
drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35 But
wisdom is justified of all her children.
21:34 And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come on you unawares. 35 For
as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face
of the whole earth. 36 Watch you therefore, and pray
always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these
things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of man.
Joh 2:1 And the third day there was a
marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was
there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to
the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of
Jesus said to him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus said to
her, Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour is not yet
come. 5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever he said
to you, do it. 6 And there were set there six water pots
of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews,
containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus said to
them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them
up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, Draw out now, and
bear to the governor of the feast. And they bore it. 9
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was
made wine, and knew not from where it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called
the bridegroom, 10 And said to him, Every man at the
beginning does set forth good wine; and when men have well
drunk, then that which is worse: but you have kept the good
wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus
in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his
disciples believed on him.
4:10 Jesus answered and
said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that
said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him,
and he would have given you living water. 11 The woman
said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the
well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the
well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks
of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whoever drinks
of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but
the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into everlasting life.
6:35 And
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to
me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall
never thirst.
7:37 In the last day, that great day of
the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst,
let him come to me, and drink. 38 He that believes on me,
as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. 39 (But this spoke he of the
Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for
the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not
yet glorified.)
Rom 13:12 The night is far
spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife
and envying. 14 But put you on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts
thereof.
14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God.
All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who
eats with offense. 21 It is good neither to eat flesh,
nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby your brother
stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.
1 Cor
5:1 But now I have written to you not to keep company, if
any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or
covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an
extortionist; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what
have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you
judge them that are within?
6:9 Know you not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.
11:20 When you come together therefore into one
place, this is not to eat the Lord’s supper. 21 For in
eating every one takes before other his own supper: and one
is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What? have you not
houses to eat and to drink in? or despise you the church of
God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you?
shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
15:32
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus, what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us
eat and drink; for to morrow we die. 33 Be not deceived:
evil communications corrupt good manners.
Gal
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Contentions,
murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which
I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God.
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
1 Th 5:6
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch
and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night;
and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But
let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope
of salvation.
1 Tim 3:2 A bishop then must be
blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good
behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given
to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but
patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 8 Likewise must the
deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery
of the faith in a pure conscience.
5:23 Drink no
longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake
and your often infirmities.
Tit 1:7 For a
bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not
self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker,
not given to filthy lucre;
2:1 But speak you the
things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men
be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in
patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in
behavior as becomes holiness, not false accusers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may
teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands,
to love their children,
1 Pe 4:3 For the time
past of our life may suffice us to have worked the will of
the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts,
excess of wine, revelings, parties, and abominable
idolatries: 4 Wherein they think it strange that you run
not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of
you:
Rev 21:6 And he said to me, It is done. I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life
freely. 7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and
I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
22:17 And
the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears
say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come. And whoever
will, let him take the water of life freely.
Gen
9:20 And Noah began to be an farmer, and he planted a
vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken;
and he was uncovered within his tent.
27:24 And he
said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 25 And
he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s
venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near
to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he
drank.
Lev 10:8 And the LORD spoke to Aaron,
saying, 9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor
your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest you die: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations:
Num 6:2 Speak to
the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or
woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite,
to separate themselves to the LORD: 3 He shall separate
himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no
vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall
he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or
dried. 4 All the days of his separation shall he eat
nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even
to the husk.
De 14:26 And you shall bestow
that money for whatever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or
for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever
your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the LORD
your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
Judges 13:3 And the angel of the LORD appeared to
the woman, and said to her, Behold now, you are barren, and
bore not: but you shall conceive, and bear a son. 4 Now
therefore beware, I pray you, and drink not wine nor strong
drink, and eat not any unclean thing: 5 For, see, you
shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on
his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the
womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand
of the Philistines. 13 And the angel of the LORD said to
Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
14 She may not eat of any thing that comes of the vine,
neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any
unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
Ps 104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the
cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring
forth food out of the earth; 15 And wine that makes glad
the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and
bread which strengthens man’s heart.
Pr 20:1
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is
deceived thereby is not wise.
21:17 He that loves
pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loves wine and oil
shall not be rich.
23:20 Be not among winebibbers;
among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and
the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall
clothe a man with rags.
23:29 Who has woe? who has
sorrow? who has contentions? who has babbling? who has
wounds without cause? who has redness of eyes? 30 They
that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed
wine. 31 Look not you on the wine when it is red, when it
gives his color in the cup, when it moves itself aright.
32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and stings like an
adder. 33 Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your
heart shall utter perverse things. 34 Yes, you shall be
as he that lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he that
lies on the top of a mast. 35 They have stricken me,
shall you say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and
I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
26:9 As a thorn goes up into the hand of a drunkard, so
is a parable in the mouths of fools.
31:4 It is not
for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor
for princes strong drink: 5 Lest they drink, and forget
the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine
to those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and
forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Ec 9:7 Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and
drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your
works. 8 Let your garments be always white; and let your
head lack no ointment.
10:16 Woe to you, O land, when
your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
17 Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of
nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength,
and not for drunkenness!
10:19 A feast is made for
laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all
things.
Isa 5:11 Woe to them that rise up
early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink;
that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12 And
the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are
in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD,
neither consider the operation of his hands.
5:20 Woe
to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter
for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to them that are
wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe to them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of
strength to mingle strong drink:
22:12 And in that
day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to
mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing
sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and
drink; for to morrow we shall die.
28:7 But they also
have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of
the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through
strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of
the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they
stumble in judgment. 8 For all tables are full of vomit
and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
56:12 Come you, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will
fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as
this day, and much more abundant.
Jer 35:6 But
they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of
Rechab our father commanded us, saying, You shall drink no
wine, neither you, nor your sons for ever: 8 Thus have we
obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in
all that he has charged us, to drink no wine all our days,
we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
Hos
4:11 Prostitution and wine and new wine take away the
heart. 18 Their drink is sour: they have committed
prostitution continually: her rulers with shame do love,
Give you.
Am 4:1 Hear this word, you cows of
Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress
the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters,
Bring, and let us drink. 2 The Lord GOD has sworn by his
holiness, that, see, the days shall come on you, that he
will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with
fishhooks. 3 And you shall go out at the breaches, every
cow at that which is before her; and you shall cast them
into the palace, said the LORD.
Mic 2:11 If a
man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I
will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink; he shall
even be the prophet of this people.
Hab 2:5
Yes also, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud
man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell,
and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him
all nations, and heaps to him all people:
2:15 Woe to
him that gives his neighbor drink, that put your bottle to
him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their
nakedness! 16 You are filled with shame for glory: drink
you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the
LORD’s right hand shall be turned to you, and shameful
spewing shall be on your glory.
Face
Mt 6:16 Moreover when you fast, be not, as the
hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their
faces, that they may appear to men to fast. Truly I say to
you, They have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast,
anoint your head, and wash your face; 18 That you appear
not to men to fast, but to your Father which is in secret:
and your Father, which sees in secret, shall reward you
openly.
17:1 And after six days Jesus takes Peter,
James, and John his brother, and brings them up into an high
mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and
his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as
the light.
18:10 Take heed that you despise not one
of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their
angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in
heaven.
Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith
and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called
the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and
Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing
with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to resist the
wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. 11 Then they
suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak
blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 12 And
they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes,
and came on him, and caught him, and brought him to the
council, 13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This
man ceases not to speak blasphemous words against this holy
place, and the law: 14 For we have heard him say, that
this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall
change the customs which Moses delivered us. 15 And all
that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his
face as it had been the face of an angel.
1 Cor
13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face
to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as
also I am known.
2 Cor 3:7 But if the
ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was
glorious, so that the children of Israel could not
steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his
countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8 How shall
not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more
does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in
this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. 11 For
if that which is done away was glorious, much more that
which remains is glorious. 12 Seeing then that we have
such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 And not
as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children
of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that
which is abolished:
4:6 For God, who commanded the
light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to
give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ.
Jas 1:22 But be you
doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a
doer, he is like to a man beholding his natural face in a
glass: 24 For he beholds himself, and goes his way, and
straightway forgets what manner of man he was.
Rev
1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of
his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance
was as the sun shines in his strength. 17 And when I saw
him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand
on me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive
for ever more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of
God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall
serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name
shall be in their foreheads.
Gen 31:1 And he
heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob has taken
away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our
father’s has he gotten all this glory. 2 And Jacob beheld
the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him
as before.
Ex 33:11 And the LORD spoke to
Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he
turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son
of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
33:8 And he said, I beseech you, show me your glory.
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you,
and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and
will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show
mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 And he said, You can
not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and
you shall stand on a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass,
while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of
the rock, and will cover you with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back
parts: but my face shall not be seen.
34:28 And he
was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did
neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote on the
tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount
Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when
he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the
skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And
when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold,
the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come
near him. 31 And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all
the rulers of the congregation returned to him: and Moses
talked with them. 32 And afterward all the children of
Israel came near: and he gave them in commandment all that
the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33 And till
Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his
face. 34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak
with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he
came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he
was commanded. 35 And the children of Israel saw the face
of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put
the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with
him.
Num 12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who
is faithful in all my house. 8 With him will I speak
mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches;
and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: why then
were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
De 34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in
Israel like to Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 11
In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to
do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants,
and to all his land, 12 And in all that mighty hand, and
in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of
all Israel.
Ps 34:5 They looked to him, and
were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you
disquieted in me? hope you in God: for I shall yet praise
him for the help of his countenance. 11 Why are you cast
down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? hope
you in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of
my countenance, and my God.
Pr 15:13 A merry
heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the
heart the spirit is broken.
21:29 A wicked man
hardens his face: but as for the upright, he directs his
way.

an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
27:19 As in

Ec 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the
sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
8:1 Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation

boldness of his face shall be changed.
Isa 3:9
The show of their countenance does witness against them; and
they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe to
their soul! for they have rewarded evil to themselves.
Jer 5:3 O LORD, are not your eyes on the truth?
you have stricken them, but they have not grieved; you have
consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction:
they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have
refused to return. 4 Therefore I said, Surely these are
poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the
LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
Eze 2:4
For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send
you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord
GOD. 6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of them,
neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns
be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid
of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they
be a rebellious house.
Dan 8:23 And in the
latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are

Beauty and clothing
Mr 1:6 And John was clothed with
camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins;
and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
Lu 7:24
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to
speak to the people concerning John, What went you out into
the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously appareled, and
live delicately, are in kings’ courts. 26 But what went
you out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much
more than a prophet.
1 Cor 11:3 But I would
have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonors his head. 5 But every woman that prays or
prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for
that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6 For if the
woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a
shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, for as much
as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the
glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman: but
the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for
the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause
ought the woman to have power on her head because of the
angels. 11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the
woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by
the woman; but all things of God. 13 Judge in yourselves:
is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered? 14 Does
not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long
hair, it is a shame to him? 15 But if a woman have long
hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a
covering. 16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we
have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
1 Tim 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where,
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9 In
like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with braided hair,
or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which
becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
1 Pe 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the
glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass wither, and
the flower thereof falls away: 25 But the word of the
Lord endures for ever. And this is the word which by the
gospel is preached to you.
3:3 Whose adorning let it
not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of
wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let
it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after
this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted
in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own
husbands:
Gen 24:47 And I asked her, and said,
Whose daughter are you? And she said, the daughter of
Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the
earring on her face, and the bracelets on her hands.
Lev 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your
flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you: I am the
LORD.
De 22:5 The woman shall not wear that
which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a
woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the
LORD your God.
Est 2:1 After these things,
when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered
Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against
her. 2 Then said the king’s servants that ministered to
him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of
his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair
young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the
women, to the custody of Hege the king’s chamberlain, keeper
of the women; and let their things for purification be given
them: 4 And let the maiden which pleases the king be
queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and
he did so. 5 Now in Shushan the palace there was a
certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the
son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite; 6 Who had
been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which
had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 7
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s
daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the
maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father
and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. 8 So it
came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was
heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to
Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was
brought also to the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai,
keeper of the women. 9 And the maiden pleased him, and
she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her
things for purification, with such things as belonged to
her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out
of the king’s house: and he preferred her and her maids to
the best place of the house of the women. 10 Esther had
not showed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had
charged her that she should not show it. 11 And Mordecai
walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to
know how Esther did, and what should become of her. 12
Now when every maid’s turn was come to go in to king
Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according
to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their
purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of
myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other
things for the purifying of the women;)

Ec 9:7 Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and
drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your
works. 8 Let your garments be always white; and let your
head lack no ointment.
Isa 3:16 Moreover the
LORD said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and
walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and
mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of
the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will
discover their secret parts. 18 In that day the Lord will
take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about
their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the
moon, 19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the
headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21 The
rings, and nose jewels, 22 The changeable suits of
apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping
pins, 23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods,
and the veils. 24 And it shall come to pass, that instead
of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle
a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead
of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead
of beauty.
61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me
with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the
robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Jer 4:30 And when you are spoiled, what will you
do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you deck
you with ornaments of gold, though you rend your face with

28:17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you

The meaning of the name
Mt 1:21 And she shall
bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins.
Lu 1:13
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for your
prayer is heard; and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a
son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you shall
have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to
circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after
the name of his father. 60 And his mother answered and
said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 61 And they
said to her, There is none of your kindred that is called by
this name. 62 And they made signs to his father, how he
would have him called. 63 And he asked for a writing
table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they
marveled all.
Joh 1:42 And he brought him to
Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, You are Simon the
son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas, which is by
interpretation, A stone.
Gen 3:20 And Adam
called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of
all living.
4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she
conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from
the LORD. 25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a
son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, has
appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
5:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years,
and begat a son: 29 And he called his name Noah, saying,
This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of
our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed.
10:25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one
was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his
brother’s name was Joktan.
17:5 Neither shall your
name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.
17:15 And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife,
you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name
be.
17:19 And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear
you a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I
will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting
covenant, and with his seed after him.
25:23 And the
LORD said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two
manner of people shall be separated from your bowels; and
the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and
the elder shall serve the younger. 24 And when her days
to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in
her womb. 25 And the first came out red, all over like an
hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 26 And
after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on
Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was
three score years old when she bore them. 27 And the boys
grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and
Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaac
loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah
loved Jacob. 29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from
the field, and he was faint: 30 And Esau said to Jacob,
Feed me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am
faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
29:32 And
Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name
Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked on my
affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 33 And
she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the
LORD has heard I was hated, he has therefore given me this
son also: and she called his name Simeon. 34 And she
conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time
will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him
three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 35 And
she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will
I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and
left bearing.
30:6 And Rachel said, God has judged
me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son:
therefore called she his name Dan. 7 And Bilhah Rachel’s
maid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son. 8 And
Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my
sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name
Naphtali. 9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she
took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 10 And
Zilpah Leah’s maid bore Jacob a son. 11 And Leah said, A
troop comes: and she called his name Gad. 12 And Zilpah
Leah’s maid bore Jacob a second son. 13 And Leah said,
Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she
called his name Asher. 17 And God listened to Leah, and
she conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son. 18 And Leah
said, God has given me my hire, because I have given my
maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
19 And Leah conceived again, and bore Jacob the sixth son.
20 And Leah said, God has endued me with a good dowry; now
will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six
sons: and she called his name Zebulun. 21 And afterwards
she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 22 And
God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened
her womb. 23 And she conceived, and bore a son; and said,
God has taken away my reproach: 24 And she called his
name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
32:27 And he said to him, What is your name? And he
said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Your name shall be called no
more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with
God and with men, and have prevailed.
35:9 And God
appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and
blessed him. 10 And God said to him, Your name is Jacob:

35:16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a
little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she
had hard labor. 17 And it came to pass, when she was in
hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not; you
shall have this son also. 18 And it came to pass, as her
soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his
name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. 19 And
Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is
Bethlehem.
41:50 And to Joseph were born two sons
before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter
of Potipherah priest of On bore to him. 51 And Joseph

caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back, 3 And
her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for

the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father,
said he, was my help, and delivered me from the sword of
Pharaoh:

the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she
bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I
have asked him of the LORD.

law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered:
and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was
taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead,
she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came on her.
20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by
her said to her, Fear not; for you have born a son. But she
answered not, neither did she regard it. 21 And she named
the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from
Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her
father in law and her husband. 22 And she said, The glory
is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son,
and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of
his kingdom over Israel for ever.
Long life
Eph 6:1 Children,
obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honor
your father and mother; which is the first commandment with
promise; 3 That it may be well with you, and you may live
long on the earth.
Ex 20:12 Honor your father
and your mother: that your days may be long on the land
which the LORD your God gives you.

number of your days I will fulfill.
De 30:20
That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey
his voice, and that you may hold to him: for he is your
life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the
land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Ps 55:23
But you, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of
destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out

I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will
deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I
satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise
of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is
more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire
are not to be compared to her. 16 Length of days is in
her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.

years of your life shall be many.

thereof there is no death.

Ec 8:11 Because sentence
against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the
heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be
prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
that fear God, which fear before him: 13 But it shall not
be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days,
which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.
Eating food
Mt 6:31 Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all
these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knows that you have need of all these things. 33 But seek
you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added to you.
11:16 But
whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like to
children sitting in the markets, and calling to their
fellows, 17 And saying, We have piped to you, and you
have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not
lamented. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking,
and they say, He has a devil. 19 The Son of man came
eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous,
and a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners. But
wisdom is justified of her children.
12:1 At that
time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his
disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of
corn and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they
said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which is not
lawful to do on the sabbath day. 3 But he said to them,
Have you not read what David did, when he was an hungered,
and they that were with him; 4 How he entered into the
house of God, and did eat the show bread, which was not
lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him,
but only for the priests?
15:1 Then came to Jesus
scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2
Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man:
but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help
me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take
the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she
said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall
from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and
said to her, O woman, great is your faith: be it to you even
as you will. And her daughter was made whole from that very
hour.
Mr 1:6 And John was clothed with camel’s
hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he
did eat locusts and wild honey;
7:14 And when he had
called all the people to him, he said to them, Listen to me
every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing
from without a man, that entering into him can defile him:
but the things which come out of him, those are they that
defile the man. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him
hear. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the
people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he said to them, Are you so without understanding
also? Do you not perceive, that whatever thing from without
enters into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 Because it
enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out
into the draught, purging all meats? 20 And he said, That
which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
Lu 5:29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own
house: and there was a great company of publicans and of
others that sat down with them. 30 But their scribes and
Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do you
eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 31 And Jesus
answering said to them, They that are whole need not a
physician; but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 33 And they
said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and
make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees;
but your eat and drink? 34 And he said to them, Can you
make the children of the bridal chamber fast, while the
bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come, when
the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall
they fast in those days.
10:7 And in the same house
remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for
the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to
house. 8 And into whatever city you enter, and they
receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also
in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they
drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise also as it was
in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought,
they sold, they planted, they built; 29 But the same day
that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from
heaven, and destroyed them all.
Joh 4:30 Then
they went out of the city, and came to him. 31 In the
mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not
of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has
any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Jesus said to them,
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish
his work.
6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he
had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the
fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled,
he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered
them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments
of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to
them that had eaten.
6:26 Jesus answered them and
said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because
you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves,
and were filled. 27 Labor not for the meat which
perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting
life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him has
God the Father sealed.
6:49 Your fathers did eat
manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the
bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall
live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world. 52 The Jews
therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man
give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said to them,
Truly, truly, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the
Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Whoever eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my
flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He
that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, dwells in me, and I
in him. 57 As the living Father has sent me, and I live
by the Father: so he that eats me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as
your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of
this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he
in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
Acts
10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew
near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray
about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and
would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a
trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel
descending on him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the
four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were
all manner of four footed beasts of the earth, and wild
beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And
there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any
thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spoke
to him again the second time, What God has cleansed, that
call not you common. 16 This was done thrice: and the
vessel was received up again into heaven.
11:2 And
when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision contended with him, 3 Saying, You went in to
men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
15:19 Why
my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among
the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write to
them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from
fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Rom 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive
you, but not to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believes
that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats
herbs. 3 Let not him that eats despise him that eats not;
and let not him which eats not judge him that eats: for God
has received him. 4 Who are you that judge another man’s
servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he shall
be held up: for God is able to make him stand. 5 One man
esteems one day above another: another esteems every day
alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he
that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it.
He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and
he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God
thanks.
14:15 But if your brother be grieved with
your meat, now walk you not charitably. Destroy not him with
your meat, for whom Christ died. 16 Let not then your
good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serves Christ
is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19 Let us
therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and
things with which one may edify another. 20 For meat
destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but
it is evil for that man who eats with offense. 21 It is
good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing
whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made
weak. 22 Have you faith? have it to yourself before God.
Happy is he that comdemns not himself in that thing which he
allows. 23 And he that doubts is damned if he eat,
because he eats not of faith: for whatever is not of faith
is sin.
16:17 Now I beseech you, brothers, mark them
which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine
which you have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that
are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own
belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the
hearts of the simple.
1 Cor 8:1 Now as
touching things offered to idols, we know that we all have
knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies. 2 And
if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing
yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the
same is known of him. 4 As concerning therefore the
eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to
idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and
that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there
be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as
there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is
but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in
him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and
we by him. 7 However, there is not in every man that
knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol to this hour
eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience
being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commends us not to God:
for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we
eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any
means this liberty of your’s become a stumbling block to
them that are weak. 10 For if any man see you which have
knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the
conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those
things which are offered to idols; 11 And through your
knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ
died? 12 But when you sin so against the brothers, and
wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13
Why, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh
while the world stands, lest I make my brother to offend.
10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are
not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things
edify not. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man
another’s wealth. 25 Whatever is sold in the shambles,
that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 26 For
the earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. 27 If
any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and you be
disposed to go; whatever is set before you, eat, asking no
question for conscience sake. 28 But if any man say to
you, This is offered in sacrifice to idols, eat not for his
sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth
is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof: 29 Conscience, I
say, not your own, but of the other: for why is my liberty
judged of another man’s conscience? 30 For if I by grace
be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I
give thanks? 31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or
whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none
offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to
the church of God: 33 Even as I please all men in all
things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many,
that they may be saved.
11:20 When you come together
therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s
supper. 21 For in eating every one takes before other his
own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22
What? have you not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise
you the church of God, and shame them that have not? What
shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you
not.
11:26 For as often as you eat this bread, and
drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till he come.
27 Why whoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of
the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood
of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let
him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he
that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation
to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this
cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
11:33 Why, my brothers, when you come together to eat,
tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger, let him
eat at home; that you come not together to condemnation. And
the rest will I set in order when I come.
15:32 If
after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at
Ephesus, what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us
eat and drink; for to morrow we die. 33 Be not deceived:
evil communications corrupt good manners.
Php
3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now
tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the
cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God
is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind
earthly things.)
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore
judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy
day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which
are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
2 Th 3:7 For yourselves know how you ought to follow us:
for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 8
Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing; but worked
with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be
chargeable to any of you: 10 For even when we were with
you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work,
neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some
which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are
busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and
exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they
work, and eat their own bread.
1 Tim 4:1 Now
the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,
which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of
them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every
creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be
received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the
word of God and prayer.
Heb 12:16 Lest there
be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For you know how
that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing,
he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though
he sought it carefully with tears.
13:9 Be not
carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a
good thing that the heart be established with grace; not
with meats, which have not profited them that have been
occupied therein. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have
no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
Jude
1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they
feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they
are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
wither, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Rev 2:7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit said to the churches; To him that overcomes will I
give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the middle of
the paradise of God.
2:20 Notwithstanding I have a
few things against you, because you suffer that woman
Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to
seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed to idols.
22:1 And he showed me a pure
river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of
the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of the
street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the
tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and
yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations. 14 Blessed are they
that do his commandments, that they may have right to the
tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the
city.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God
said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing that moves on the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I
have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on the face
of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the
air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth, wherein
there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and
it was so.
2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden
eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had
formed. 9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow
every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;
the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the
tree of knowledge of good and evil.
2:16 And the LORD
God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden
you may freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day
that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
6:21 And
take you to you of all food that is eaten, and you shall
gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for
them. 22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God
commanded him, so did he.
9:1 And God blessed Noah
and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the
dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, and on
every fowl of the air, on all that moves on the earth, and
on all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they
delivered. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be meat
for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood
thereof, shall you not eat.
18:1 And the LORD
appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the
tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his
eyes and looked, and, see, three men stood by him: and when
he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and
bowed himself toward the ground, 5 And I will fetch a
morsel of bread, and comfort you your hearts; after that you
shall pass on: for therefore are you come to your servant.
And they said, So do, as you have said. 6 And Abraham
hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready
quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make
cakes on the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and
fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to a young man;
and he hurried to dress it. 8 And he took butter, and
milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before
them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
19:3 And he pressed on them greatly; and they turned in
to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a
feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the
field, and he was faint: 30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed
me, I pray you, with that same red pottage; for I am faint:
therefore was his name called Edom. 31 And Jacob said,
Sell me this day your birthright. 32 And Esau said,
Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this
birthright do to me? 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this
day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to
Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of
lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his
way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
27:24 And he
said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 25 And
he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s
venison, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near
to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he
drank.
Ex 16:2 And the whole congregation of
the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in
the wilderness: 3 And the children of Israel said to
them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in
the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when
we did eat bread to the full; for you have brought us forth
into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with
hunger. 4 Then said the LORD to Moses, Behold, I will
rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out
and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them,
whether they will walk in my law, or no. 12 I have heard
the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them,
saying, At even you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you
shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the
LORD your God. 13 And it came to pass, that at even the
quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the
dew lay round about the host. 14 And when the dew that
lay was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there
lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the
ground. 15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they
said one to another, It is manna: for they knew not what it
was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which the
LORD has given you to eat. 16 This is the thing which the
LORD has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his
eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of
your persons; take you every man for them which are in his
tents. 17 And the children of Israel did so, and
gathered, some more, some less. 31 And the house of
Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like
coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers
made with honey. 32 And Moses said, This is the thing
which the LORD commands, Fill an omer of it to be kept for
your generations; that they may see the bread with which I
have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth
from the land of Egypt. 33 And Moses said to Aaron, Take
a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up
before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. 34 As
the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
Testimony, to be kept. 35 And the children of Israel did
eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited;
they did eat manna, until they came to the borders of the
land of Canaan. 36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an
ephah.
Lev 3:17 It shall be a perpetual
statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings,
that you eat neither fat nor blood.
7:23 Speak to the
children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no manner of fat,
of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. 24 And the fat of the
beast that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn
with beasts, may be used in any other use: but you shall in
no wise eat of it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of the
beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to the
LORD, even the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his
people. 26 Moreover you shall eat no manner of blood,
whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatever soul it be that eats any manner of blood, even
that soul shall be cut off from his people.
17:10 And
whatever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn among you, that eats any manner of
blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eats
blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For
the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it
to you on the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for
it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul. 12
Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you
shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojournes
among you eat blood.
26:26 And when I have broken the
staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one
oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight:
and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
Num
11:4 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a
lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and
said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? 5 We remember the
fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and
the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all,
beside this manna, before our eyes. 7 And the manna was
as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of
bdellium. 8 And the people went about, and gathered it,
and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it
in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as
the taste of fresh oil. 9 And when the dew fell on the
camp in the night, the manna fell on it. 10 Then Moses
heard the people weep throughout their families, every man
in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was
kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
De
6:10 And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have
brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and
goodly cities, which you built not, 11 And houses full of
all good things, which you filled not, and wells dig, which
you digged not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted
not; when you shall have eaten and be full; 12 Then
beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
8:3
And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you
with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers
know; that he might make you know that man does not live by
bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth
of the LORD does man live.
12:15 Notwithstanding you
may kill and eat flesh in all your gates, whatever your soul
lusts after, according to the blessing of the LORD your God
which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat
thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart. 16 Only
you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it on the earth
as water. 20 When the LORD your God shall enlarge your
border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will
eat flesh, because your soul longs to eat flesh; you may eat
flesh, whatever your soul lusts after. 23 Only be sure
that you eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and
you may not eat the life with the flesh. 24 You shall not
eat it; you shall pour it on the earth as water.
14:3
You shall not eat any abominable thing. 4 These are the
beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the
wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 And every beast that parts the hoof, and separates the
cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts,
that you shall eat. 7 Nevertheless these you shall not
eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the
cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for
they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they
are unclean to you. 8 And the swine, because it divides
the hoof, yet chews not the cud, it is unclean to you: you
shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
9 These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all
that have fins and scales shall you eat: 10 And whatever
has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean to
you. 11 Of all clean birds you shall eat. 12 But these
are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the ospray, 13 And the glede, and the
kite, and the vulture after his kind, 14 And every raven
after his kind, 15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and
the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16 The little
owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 And the pelican,
and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18 And the stork,
and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you:
they shall not be eaten. 20 But of all clean fowls you
may eat. 21 You shall not eat of anything that dies of
itself: you shall give it to the stranger that is in your
gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to an alien:
for you are an holy people to the LORD your God. You shall
not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
16:1 Observe
the month of Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD your
God: for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you
forth out of Egypt by night. 2 You shall therefore
sacrifice the passover to the LORD your God, of the flock
and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to
place his name there. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread
with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread
therewith, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth
out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the
day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the
days of your life. 4 And there shall be no leavened bread
seen with you in all your coast seven days; neither shall
there any thing of the flesh, which you sacrificed the first
day at even, remain all night until the morning.
28:53 And you shall eat the fruit of your own body, the
flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the LORD
your God has given you, in the siege, and in the narrow
place, with which your enemies shall distress you: 54 So
that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate,
his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the
wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children
which he shall leave: 55 So that he will not give to any
of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat:
because he has nothing left him in the siege, and in the
narrow place, with which your enemies shall distress you in
all your gates. 56 The tender and delicate woman among
you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot
on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall
be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son,
and toward her daughter, 57 And toward her young one that
comes out from between her feet, and toward her children
which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all
things secretly in the siege and narrow place, with which
your enemy shall distress you in your gates.
Jos
5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the
morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched
corn in the selfsame day. 12 And the manna ceased on the
morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land;
neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they
did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Ruth 2:14 And Boaz said to her, At mealtime come
you here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the
vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her
parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
3:16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said,
Who are you, my daughter? And she told her all that the man
had done to her. 17 And she said, These six measures of
barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty to your
mother in law.
1 Sam 14:31 And they smote the
Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the
people were very faint. 32 And the people flew on the
spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them
on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin
against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he
said, You have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this
day.
17:17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take now
for your brothers an ephah of this parched corn, and these
ten loaves, and run to the camp of your brothers; 18 And
carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand,
and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
2 Sam 17:27 And it came to pass, when David was
come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of
the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of
Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 28
Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat,
and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and
lentils, and parched vegetables, 29 And honey, and
butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows, for David, and for
the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The
people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
1 Ki 4:20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand
which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and
making merry. 21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms
from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the
border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon
all the days of his life.
2 Ki 6:26 And as the
king of Israel was passing by on the wall, there cried a
woman to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 27 And he
said, If the LORD do not help you, from where shall I help
you? out of the barn floor, or out of the wine press? 28
And the king said to her, What ails you? And she answered,
This woman said to me, Give your son, that we may eat him to
day, and we will eat my son to morrow. 29 So we boiled my
son, and did eat him: and I said to her on the next day,
Give your son, that we may eat him: and she has hid her son.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the
woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by on the
wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth
within on his flesh.
2 Ch 2:10 And, behold, I
will give to your servants, the hewers that cut timber,
twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty
thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of
wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
Neh
8:10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and
drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing
is prepared: for this day is holy to our LORD: neither be
you sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 11
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your
peace, for the day is holy; neither be you grieved. 12
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and
to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had
understood the words that were declared to them.
9:20
You gave also your good spirit to instruct them, and
withheld not your manna from their mouth, and gave them
water for their thirst. 21 Yes, forty years did you
sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing;
their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
Job 6:6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten
without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my
sorrowful meat.
12:11 Does not the ear try words? and
the mouth taste his meat?
34:1 Furthermore Elihu
answered and said, 2 Hear my words, O you wise men; and
give ear to me, you that have knowledge. 3 For the ear
tries words, as the mouth tastes meat.
Ps 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man
that trusts in him.
78:18 And they tempted God in
their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19 Yes, they
spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the
wilderness? 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from
above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained
down manna on them to eat, and had given them of the corn of
heaven. 25 Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to
the full. 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the
heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 27
He rained flesh also on them as dust, and feathered fowls
like as the sand of the sea: 28 And he let it fall in the
middle of their camp, round about their habitations. 29
So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them
their own desire;
104:14 He causes the grass to grow
for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may
bring forth food out of the earth; 15 And wine that makes
glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine,
and bread which strengthens man’s heart.
Pr
1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the
fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they
despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of
the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own
devices.
4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness,
and drink the wine of violence.
15:17 Better is a
dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred
therewith.
17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness
therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
23:1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider
diligently what is before you: 2 And put a knife to your
throat, if you be a man given to appetite. 3 Be not
desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of
flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to
poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
24:13 My son, eat you honey, because it is good; and the
honeycomb, which is sweet to your taste:
25:16 Have
you found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for you, lest
you be filled therewith, and vomit it. 27 It is not good
to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is
not glory.
27:7 The full soul loathes an honeycomb;
but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
Ec 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that
he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul
enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from
the hand of God. 25 For who can eat, or who else can
hasten hereunto, more than I?
3:13 And also that
every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all
his labor, it is the gift of God.
5:12 The sleep of a
laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but
the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
5:18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and
comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of
all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of
his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion. 19
Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and
has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. 20
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because
God answers him in the joy of his heart.
8:15 Then I
commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the
sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that
shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life,
which God gives him under the sun.
9:7 Go your way,
eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry
heart; for God now accepts your works.
10:19 A feast
is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money
answers all things.
Isa 1:19 If you be willing
and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land: 20 But
if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the
sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
22:12
And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping,
and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with
sackcloth: 13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen,
and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us
eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
55:1 Ho,
every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, and he that
has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine
and milk without money and without price. 2 Why do you
spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for
that which satisfies not? listen diligently to me, and eat
you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in
fatness. 3 Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and
your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting
covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a
leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, you shall
call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew not
you shall run to you because of the LORD your God, and for
the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
66:16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with
all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 17
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the
gardens behind one tree in the middle, eating swine’s flesh,
and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed
together, said the LORD.
Lam 4:9 They that be
slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with
hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of
the fruits of the field. 10 The hands of the pitiful
women have sodden their own children: they were their meat
in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Eze 3:1 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat that you
find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat,
and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then
did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4:8 And, behold, I will lay bands on you, and you shall
not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended
the days of your siege. 9 Take you also to you wheat, and
barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and
put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof,
according to the number of the days that you shall lie on
your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat
thereof.
4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my
soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till
now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is
torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my
mouth.
Dan 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of
the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore
he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not
defile himself. 9 Now God had brought Daniel into favor
and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 10 And
the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the
king, who has appointed your meat and your drink: for why
should he see your faces worse liking than the children
which are of your sort? then shall you make me endanger my
head to the king. 11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the
prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Prove your servants, I beseech
you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and
water to drink. 13 Then let our countenances be looked on
before you, and the countenance of the children that eat of
the portion of the king’s meat: and as you see, deal with
your servants. 14 So he consented to them in this matter,
and proved them ten days. 15 And at the end of ten days
their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than
all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s
meat. 16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat,
and the wine that they should drink; and gave them
vegetables.
Sleep
Job 33:14 For God speaks once, yes
twice, yet man perceives it not. 15 In a dream, in a
vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in
slumberings on the bed; 16 Then he opens the ears of men,
and seals their instruction, 17 That he may withdraw man
from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18 He keeps
back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by
the sword.
Ps 3:5 I laid me down and slept; I
awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
4:8 I will both
lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me
dwell in safety.
90:3 You turn man to destruction;
and say, Return, you children of men. 4 For a thousand
years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night. 5 You carry them away as
with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are
like grass which grows up. 6 In the morning it
flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and
wither.
91:5 You shall not be afraid for the terror
by night; nor for the arrow that flies by day;
102:7
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone on the house top.
Pr 3:24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid:
yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
19:15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle
soul shall suffer hunger.
20:13 Love not sleep, lest
you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be
satisfied with bread.
Ec 5:3 For a dream comes
through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is
known by multitude of words.
5:7 For in the multitude
of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but
fear you God.
5:12 The sleep of a laboring man is
sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of
the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
8:16 When I
applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business
that is done on the earth: (for also there is that neither
day nor night sees sleep with his eyes:) 17 Then I beheld
all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work
that is done under the sun: because though a man labor to
seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yes farther; though a
wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find
it.
Dan 6:18 Then the king went to his palace,
and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of
music brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
