For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
