The Clouds Of Heaven

           For if any man see thee which hast 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. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I spead this to your shame. For God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

      That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden mystery, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. Behold I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. And to make all men see the fellowship of the mystery; which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. 

          This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 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 preeminence. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

          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. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. For by thy words thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

            For whosoever  shall be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 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. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge in the last day.       

         Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. I told you, and ye believe 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.

            Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and decending upon the Son of man. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.

             Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that the will of my Father which is in heaven. Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

              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. Woe unto you, lawyers; for ye take away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that was entering in ye hindered. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

        The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the death hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached unto them. Go your way, and tell John what things ye have heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, to the poor  the gospel is preached.  unto them.
           I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Yet a little while is light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not where he goeth. Therefore is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 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 the Spirit. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord: walk as children of light. If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. But if we walk ih the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

              If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me. For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. If thou will be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

              But if you 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. 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. 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. Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

           When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall y know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I him. If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

             Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because  ye cannot hear my word. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear hear them not, because ye are not of God.

            I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

              For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 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.

          God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and truth. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Which all are to perish with the using; after the commandments of men. 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. But I say, unto you that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and the table of devils. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels was cast out with him.

         Get thee behind me Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that b of men. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: we are not ignorant of his devices. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Beware lest any man spoil you through vain philosophy and vain deceit, after te tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginnng, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. But God raised him from the dead.     

          Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should walk in newness of life. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from te dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? Remember that Jesus Christ the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel.
