1Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor,go to law before the unrighteous,and not before the saints?2Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world?And if the world is judged by you,are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?3Don’t you know that we will judge angels?How much more, things that pertain to this life?4If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life,do you set them to judgewho are of no account in the assembly?5I say this to move you to shame.Isn’t there even one wise man among youwho would be able to decide between his brothers?6But brother goes to law with brother,and that before unbelievers!7Therefore it is already altogether a defect in youthat you have lawsuits one with another.Why not rather be wronged?Why not rather be defrauded?8No, but you yourselves do wrong and defraud,and that against your brothers.

9Or don’t you knowthat the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom?Don’t be deceived.Neither the sexually immoral,nor idolaters, nor adulterers,nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,10nor thieves, nor covetous,nor drunkards, nor slanderers,nor extortionists,will inherit God’s Kingdom.11Some of you were such, but you were washed.You were sanctified.You were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,and in the Spirit of our God.

1Praise the Lord!Sing to the Lord a new song,his praise in the assembly of the saints.2Let Israel rejoice in him who made them.Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3Let them praise his name in the dance!Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!4For the Lord takes pleasure in his people.He crowns the humble with salvation.

5Let the saints rejoice in honor.Let them sing for joy on their beds.6May the high praises of God be in their mouths,and a two-edged sword in their hand,9to execute on them the written judgment.All his saints have this honor.Praise the Lord!

12In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray,and he continued all night in prayer to God.13When it was day, he called his disciples,and from them he chose twelve,whom he also named apostles:14Simon, whom he also named Peter;Andrew, his brother;James; John;Philip; Bartholomew;15Matthew; Thomas;James the son of Alphaeus;Simon who was called the Zealot;16Judas the son of James;and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

17He came down with them and stood on a level place,with a crowd of his disciplesand a great number of the people from all Judeaand Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,18as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits;and they were being healed.19All the multitude sought to touch him,for power came out of him and healed them all.
