The Clouds Of Heaven

         They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Repent: for the kingdon of heaven is at hand. The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. If  thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell ye heavenly things? But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

          This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.  I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. Ye sent unto John, and he bear witness unto the truth. But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that Father hath hath sent ne.

             Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built which built his house upon a rock: And everyone that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be liken unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand. Verily, verily, I  say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.

 

 

 

          If any man come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor or given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

                 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therfore do greatly err. When ye have lifted up the Son of man. then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

            But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here; or, low there; behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

           Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no ressurrection of the dead? But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father.

            Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

           Ye neither know me, nor my Father; if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also; and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

            This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear  in the presence of God for us: My brethern, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

        Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be bought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrififes, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.

                 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the ressurrection of Jesus Christ. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if we walk in the light, as he in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin.

          Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized. For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Get behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thy serve. Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

            

            Verily,verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Verily,verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name they bear witness of me. Thou sayest that I am a king, To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

          

            But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in Spirit and in truth. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

       For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Verily,verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

                For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. I am that bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thrist. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

                    I am the livingbread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead, he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

         The queen of the south shall rise up in jugdment with the men of this generation, and condem them: for she came from the  utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineve shall rise in judgment with this generation, and condem it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.    

           For when the rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

            For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and they which see might be made blind. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of my Father which hath sent me. I have many things to say and judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

           No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and depise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

           Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. Get thee bebind Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thy serve. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils.

            Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

   Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? This I say then, Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in in the Spirit.

 

        For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

 

        For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and  of a sound mind. How much more shall the the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

       I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. If I do not the works of my Father,  believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

       If I have told you earthly things, and ye believed not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? And if any man hear my words and believe not, I judge him not, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

      This is the work of God, that  ye believe on him whom he hath sent. But there are some of you that believe not. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
