The Greatness of the LORD and the Vanity of Idols

1351 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, 2 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God. 3 Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah 'is' good, Sing praise to His name, for 'it is' pleasant. 4 For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

5 For I have known that great 'is' Jehovah, Yea, our Lord 'is' above all gods. 6 All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places, 7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures. 8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast. 9 He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants. 10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings, 11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan. 12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people, 13 O Jehovah, Thy name 'is' to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations. 14 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

15 The idols of the nations 'are' silver and gold, Work of the hands of man. 16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not, 17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth! 18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them. 19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah, 20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah. 21 Blessed 'is' Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise ye Jah!

Praise for the LORD's Everlasting Mercy

1361 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age 'is' His kindness. 2 Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 3 Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 4 To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 5 To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 6 To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 7 To Him making great lights, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 8 The sun to rule by day, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 9 The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age 'is' His kindness.

10 To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 11 And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 12 By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 13 To Him cutting the sea of Suph into parts, For to the age 'is' His kindness, 14 And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the age 'is' His kindness, 15 And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 16 To Him leading His people in a wilderness, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 17 To Him smiting great kings, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 18 Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 19 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 20 And Og king of Bashan, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 21 And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 22 An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age 'is' His kindness.

23 Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 24 And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 25 Giving food to all flesh, For to the age 'is' His kindness. 26 Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age 'is' His kindness!

Spiritual Gifts

121 And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant; 2 ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols—as ye were led—being carried away; 3 wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus 'is' anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus 'is' Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. 4 And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; 5 and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord; 6 and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God—who is working the all in all. 7 And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit; 8 for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; 9 and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit; 10 and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another 'divers' kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: 11 and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

12 For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also 'is' the Christ, 13 for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink, 14 for also the body is not one member, but many; 15 if the foot may say, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body; 16 and if the ear may say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body? 17 If the whole body 'were' an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling? 18 and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed, 19 and if all were one member, where the body? 20 and now, indeed, 'are' many members, and one body; 21 and an eye is not able to say to the hand, 'I have no need of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, 'I have no need of you.' 22 But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary, 23 and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant, 24 and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another, 26 and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with 'it' do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with 'it' do all the members;

27 and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues; 29 'are' all apostles? 'are' all prophets? 'are' all teachers? 'are' all powers? 30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you:
