¹ And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.² If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.³ If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;⁴ And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.⁵ But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.⁶ And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;⁷ And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.⁸ But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.⁹ But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.¹⁰ And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;¹¹ And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.¹² But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.¹³ Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.¹⁴ But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.¹⁵ But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.¹⁶ These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.

¹ The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.² Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.³ To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.⁴ An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.⁵ The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.⁶ The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.⁷ The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.⁸ The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.⁹ It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.¹⁰ The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.¹¹ When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.¹² The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.¹⁴ A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.¹⁵ It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.¹⁶ The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.¹⁷ He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.¹⁸ The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.¹⁹ It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.²⁰ There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.²¹ He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.²² A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.²³ Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.²⁴ Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.²⁵ The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.²⁶ He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?²⁸ A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.²⁹ A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

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 saith unto him, They have no wine.⁴ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.⁵ His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.⁶ And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.⁷ Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.⁸ And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.⁹ When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,¹⁰ And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast 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.¹² After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.¹³ And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.¹⁴ And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:¹⁵ And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;¹⁶ And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.¹⁸ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?¹⁹ Jesus answered and said unto 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 wilt thou rear it up in three days?²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.²² When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.²⁴ But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,²⁵ And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

¹ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:² The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?⁵ Jesus answered, 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.⁶ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.⁸ The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.⁹ Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?¹¹ Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.¹² If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?¹³ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.¹⁶ 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.¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.²³ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison.²⁵ Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.²⁶ And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.³¹ He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.³³ He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
