I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. This is the account ( G) of the heavens and the earth when they were created, ( H) when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction.

Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the Lord had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies. 28 They entered Jerusalem and went to the temple of the Lord with harps and lyres and trumpets. Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ( A) and our being gathered to him, ( B) we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter ( C)—asserting that the day of the Lord ( D) has already come. ( E) 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you ( F) in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion ( G) occurs and the man of lawlessness [ a] is revealed, ( H) the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God ( I) or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. ( J) which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained! men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. 25 So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing [ d] and also articles of value—more than they could take away. There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it. 26 On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, where they praised the Lord. This is why it is called the Valley of Berakah [ e] to this day. With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” ( BC) 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number ( BD) that day. The Fellowship of the Believers on to the pattern of sound teaching d you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him c for that day. When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” ( AW)

every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden ( AB) to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; ( AC) 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, ( AD) for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” ( AE) But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. But for Adam [ f] no suitable helper ( AK) was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; ( AL) and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs [ g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib [ h] ( AM) he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.

As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes ( AD) against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The Ammonites ( AE) and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir ( AF) to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another. ( AG)

the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus. The books of 'latter prophets' preserve sayings and stories of religious and political activists ('prophets') who served as the spiritual conscience of the nation throughout its history, reminding people of the social values that would reflect the character of God. Some books are substantial ( Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel), others are much shorter (Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi). Sometimes, the prophets could be mime artists and dramatists, accompanying their actions by short spoken messages, often delivered in poetic form. These were the sound bites of their day, which made it easy for others to remember them and then write them down. The first three are effectively different editions of the same materials, and for that reason are known as the 'synoptic gospels'. The writer of Luke also wrote the Acts of the Apostles, which tells the story of how Christianity spread from being a small group of Jewish believers in the time of Jesus to becoming a worldwide faith in less than a generation.
