¹Then Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said to them, “These are the words which the Lᴏʀᴅ has commanded you to do: ²Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of rest to the Lᴏʀᴅ. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. ³You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.” ⁴And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lᴏʀᴅ commanded, saying: ⁵‘Take from among you an offering to the Lᴏʀᴅ. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lᴏʀᴅ: gold, silver, and bronze; ⁶blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; ⁷ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; ⁸oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; ⁹onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. ¹⁰‘All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the Lᴏʀᴅ has commanded: ¹¹the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; ¹²the ark and its poles, with the mercy seat, and the veil of the covering; ¹³the table and its poles, all its utensils, and the showbread; ¹⁴also the lampstand for the light, its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for the light; ¹⁵the incense altar, its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the screen for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle; ¹⁶the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles, all its utensils, and the laver and its base; ¹⁷the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; ¹⁸the pegs of the tabernacle, the pegs of the court, and their cords; ¹⁹the garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place—the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.’ ” ²⁰And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. ²¹Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lᴏʀᴅ’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments. ²²They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the Lᴏʀᴅ. ²³And every man, with whom was found blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair, red skins of rams, and badger skins, brought them. ²⁴Everyone who offered an offering of silver or bronze brought the Lᴏʀᴅ’s offering. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it. ²⁵All the women who were gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. ²⁶And all the women whose heart stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair. ²⁷The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate, ²⁸and spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. ²⁹The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the Lᴏʀᴅ, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lᴏʀᴅ, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done. ³⁰And Moses said to the children of Israel, “See, the Lᴏʀᴅ has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; ³¹and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, ³²to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, ³³in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship. ³⁴And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. ³⁵He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.

¹“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ²In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴And where I go you know, and the way you know.” ⁵Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” ⁶Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. ⁷“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” ⁸Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” ⁹Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. ¹¹Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. ¹²“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. ¹⁵“If you love Me, keep My commandments. ¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ¹⁷the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. ¹⁸I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹“A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. ²⁰At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ²¹He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” ²²Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” ²³Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. ²⁵“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. ²⁶But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. ²⁷Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I. ²⁹And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. ³¹But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

¹Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lᴏʀᴅ, But a just weight is His delight. ²When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. ³The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. ⁴Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. ⁵The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way aright, But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness. ⁶The righteousness of the upright will deliver them, But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust. ⁷When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of the unjust perishes. ⁸The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead. ⁹The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. ¹⁰When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation. ¹¹By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. ¹²He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, But a man of understanding holds his peace. ¹³A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter. ¹⁴Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. ¹⁵He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one who hates being surety is secure. ¹⁶A gracious woman retains honor, But ruthless men retain riches. ¹⁷The merciful man does good for his own soul, But he who is cruel troubles his own flesh. ¹⁸The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. ¹⁹As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. ²⁰Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lᴏʀᴅ, But the blameless in their ways are His delight. ²¹Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered. ²²As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion. ²³The desire of the righteous is only good, But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. ²⁴There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. ²⁵The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself. ²⁶The people will curse him who withholds grain, But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. ²⁷He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, But trouble will come to him who seeks evil. ²⁸He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. ²⁹He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart. ³⁰The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise. ³¹If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner.

¹I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, ²with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, ³endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ⁴There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; ⁵one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ⁶one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. ⁷But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. ⁸Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” ⁹(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) ¹¹And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, ¹²for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, ¹³till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; ¹⁴that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, ¹⁵but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— ¹⁶from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. ¹⁷This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, ¹⁸having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; ¹⁹who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. ²⁰But you have not so learned Christ, ²¹if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: ²²that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, ²³and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. ²⁵Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. ²⁶“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, ²⁷nor give place to the devil. ²⁸Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. ²⁹Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. ³⁰And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. ³²And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.
