King James Version (KJV)

Nehemiah 6:15-7:29

6:15So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 6:16And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. 6:17Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them. 6:18For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. 6:19Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

7:1Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,7:2That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.7:3And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.7:4Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.7:5And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,7:6These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;7:7Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;7:8The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.7:9The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two.7:10The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two.7:11The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.7:12The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.7:13The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five.7:14The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore.7:15The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight.7:16The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight.7:17The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two.7:18The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.7:19The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven.7:20The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five.7:21The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight.7:22The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight.7:23The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four.7:24The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve.7:25The children of Gibeon, ninety and five.7:26The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight.7:27The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight.7:28The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two.7:29The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
