And
thou shalt say
unto Pharaoh,
Thus saith the LORD,
Israel is my son,
even my firstborn:
Ye are the children
of the LORD your God:
ye shall not cut yourselves,
nor make any baldness
between your eyes
for the dead.
They have corrupted themselves,
their spot
is not the spot
of his children:
they are a
perverse
and crooked generation.
Do ye thus requite
the LORD,
O foolish people
and unwise?
is not
he thy
father that
hath bought thee?
hath
he not made thee,
and established thee?
I will be
his father,
and
he shall be
my son.
If he
commit iniquity,
I will chasten him
with the rod
of men,
and
with the stripes
of the children
of men:
And
he said unto me,
Solomon thy son,
he shall build
my house
and my courts:
for I
have chosen him to be
my son,
and
I will be
his father.
Wherefore
David
blessed
the LORD
before all
the congregation:
and David said,
Blessed be thou,
LORD God
of Israel our father,
for ever
and ever.
A father
of the fatherless,
and a judge
of the widows,
is God
in his holy habitation.
He shall cry unto me,
Thou art my father,
my God,
and the rock
of my salvation.
Hear,
O heavens,
and give ear,
O earth:
for the LORD
hath spoken,
I have nourished
and brought
up children,
and
they
have rebelled against me.
Behold,
I and the children whom
the LORD
hath given me
are for signs and
for wonders in Israel
from the LORD
of hosts,
which dwelleth in mount Zion.
For unto us a child
is born,
unto us a son
is given:
and the government
shall be
upon his shoulder:
and his name
shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince
of Peace.
Doubtless
thou art
our father,
though Abraham
be ignorant of us,
and Israel
acknowledge us not:
thou,
O LORD,
art our father,
our redeemer;
thy name
is from everlasting.
But now,
O LORD,
thou art
our father;
we are the clay,
and
thou our potter;
and
we all are the work
of thy hand.
But I said,
How shall
I put thee
among the children,
and give
thee a pleasant land,
a goodly heritage
of the hosts
of nations?
and I said,
Thou shalt call me,
My father;
and
shalt not turn away from me.
Yet the number
of the children
of Israel
shall be as the sand
of the sea,
which cannot be measured
nor numbered;
and it
shall come
to pass,
that in the place
where it
was said unto them,
Ye are not
my people,
there
it shall be said unto them,
Ye are the sons
of the living God.
When Israel
was a child,
then I
loved him,
and called
my son
out of Egypt.
And lo a voice
from heaven,
saying,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom
I am well pleased.
That ye
may be the children
of your Father
which is in heaven:
for he
maketh his sun
to rise
on the evil
and on the good,
and sendeth
rain on the just
and on the unjust.
That thine alms
may be in secret:
and thy Father
which seeth in secret
himself
shall reward
thee openly.
Be not
ye therefore like
unto them:
for your Father
knoweth
what things
ye have need of,
before ye
ask him.
After this manner
therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art
in heaven,
Hallowed
be thy name.
If ye then,
being evil,
know how
to give good gifts
unto your children,
how much more
shall
your Father
which is in heaven
give good things
to them that ask him?
For it
is not ye that
speak,
but the Spirit
of your Father
which speaketh in you.
Are not
two sparrows
sold
for a farthing?
and one
of them shall not fall
on the ground
without your Father.
Whosoever
therefore shall confess me
before men,
him will
I confess also
before my Father
which is in heaven.
But whosoever
shall deny me
before men,
him will
I also deny
before my Father
which is in heaven.
At that time Jesus
answered
and said,
I thank thee,
O Father,
Lord
of heaven
and earth,
because
thou hast
hid these things
from the wise
and prudent,
and hast revealed them
unto babes.
Even so,
Father:
for so
it seemed good
in thy sight.
All things
are delivered
unto me
of my Father:
and no man
knoweth the Son,
but the Father;
neither knoweth any man
the Father,
save the Son,
and
he to whomsoever
the Son
will reveal him.
For whosoever
shall do
the will
of my Father
which is in heaven,
the same
is my brother,
and sister,
and mother.
Then shall
the righteous shine forth
as the sun
in the kingdom
of their Father.
Who hath ears
to hear,
let him hear.
But he
answered
and said,
Every plant,
which my heavenly Father
hath not planted,
shall be rooted up.
And Jesus
answered
and
said unto him,
Blessed art thou,
Simon Barjona:
for flesh
and blood
hath not revealed it
unto thee,
but my Father
which is in heaven.
For the Son
of man
shall come in the glory
of his Father
with his angels;
and
then
he shall reward every man
according to his works.
Take heed that
ye despise not one
of these little ones;
for I
say unto you,
That in heaven
their angels
do always behold the face
of my Father
which is in heaven.
Even so
it is not the will
of your Father
which is in heaven,
that one
of these little
ones should perish.
Again
I say unto you,
That if two
of you
shall agree on
earth
as touching any thing
that
they shall ask,
it shall be done
for them
of my Father
which is in heaven.
And
he saith unto them,
Ye shall drink indeed
of my cup,
and be baptized
with the baptism
that I
am baptized with:
but to sit
on my right hand,
and on my left,
is not mine
to give,
but it
shall be given
to them
for whom it
is prepared
of my Father.
But
I say unto you,
I will not drink
henceforth
of this fruit
of the vine,
until that day
when
I drink it new
with you
in my Father's kingdom.
And
he went a little farther,
and fell
on his face,
and prayed,
saying,
O my Father,
if it
be possible,
let this cup pass
from me:
nevertheless
not as I will,
but as thou wilt.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed
of me and
of my words
in this adulterous
and sinful generation;
of him also shall
the Son of man
be ashamed,
when
he cometh in the glory
of his Father
with the holy angels.
And
when
ye stand praying,
forgive,
if ye
have ought
against any:
that your Father also which
is in heaven
may forgive
you your trespasses.
But
of that day
and that hour
knoweth
no man,
no,
not the angels
which are in heaven,
neither the Son,
but the Father.
And
he said unto them,
How is it
that ye
sought me?
wist
ye not
that I
must be
about my Father's business?
In that hour Jesus
rejoiced
in spirit,
and said,
I thank thee,
O Father,
Lord
of heaven
and earth,
that thou
hast
hid
these things
from the wise
and prudent,
and hast revealed them
unto babes:
even so,
Father;
for so
it seemed good
in thy sight.
All things
are delivered to me
of my Father:
and
no man
knoweth
who the Son is,
but the Father;
and
who the Father is,
but the Son,
and he
to whom the Son
will reveal him.
If ye then,
being evil,
know how
to give good gifts
unto your children:
how much more
shall
your heavenly Father
give
the Holy Spirit
to them that ask him?
And
I appoint
unto you
a kingdom,
as my Father
hath appointed unto me;
And
when Jesus
had cried
with a loud voice,
he said,
Father,
into thy
hands
I commend
my spirit:
and having said thus,
he gave up
the ghost.
And,
behold,
I send
the promise
of my Father
upon you:
but tarry
ye in the city
of Jerusalem,
until ye
be endued with
power from
on high.
And the Word
was made flesh,
and
dwelt among us,
(and
we beheld
his glory,
the glory as
of the only begotten
of the Father,)
full of grace
and truth.
No man
hath seen God
at any time,
the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom
of the Father,
he hath declared him.
And said
unto them
that sold doves,
Take these things hence;
make
not my Father's house
an house
of merchandise.
Jesus saith unto her,
Woman,
believe me,
the hour cometh,
when ye
shall
neither
in this mountain,
nor
yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father.
But the hour cometh,
and now is,
when the true worshippers
shall worship
the Father
in spirit
and in truth:
for the Father
seeketh such
to worship him.
But Jesus
answered them,
My Father
worketh hitherto,
and I work.
Therefore the Jews
sought the more
to kill him,
because
he not only had broken
the sabbath,
but said also
that God
was his Father,
making himself
equal with God.
Then answered Jesus
and
said unto them,
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
The Son
can do nothing
of himself,
but what
he seeth
the Father do:
for what things soever
he doeth,
these also doeth
the Son likewise.
For the Father
loveth the Son,
and sheweth him all
things that himself doeth:
and
he will shew him greater works
than these,
that ye
may marvel.
For as the Father
raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so
the Son
quickeneth whom
he will.
For the Father
judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment
unto the Son:
That all men
should honour
the Son,
even as
they honour
the Father.
He that
honoureth not
the Son
honoureth not
the Father
which hath sent him.
But
I have greater witness
than
that of John:
for the works
which the Father
hath given me
to finish,
the same
works that
I do,
bear
witness of me,
that the Father
hath sent me.
And the Father himself,
which hath sent me,
hath borne
witness of me.
Ye have neither heard
his voice
at any time,
nor seen
his shape.
I am come in
my Father's name,
and
ye receive me not:
if another
shall come in
his own name,
him
ye will receive.
Labour
not for the meat
which perisheth,
but for that meat
which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son
of man
shall give
unto you:
for him hath
God the Father sealed.
Then Jesus
said unto them,
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
Moses gave you
not that bread
from heaven;
but my Father
giveth you
the true bread
from heaven.
No man
can come to me,
except the Father
which hath sent me
draw him:
and I
will raise
him up
at the last day.
It is written
in the prophets,
And
they shall be all taught
of God.
Every man
therefore that
hath heard,
and hath learned
of the Father,
cometh unto me.
Not
that any man
hath seen
the Father,
save
he which
is of God,
he hath seen
the Father.
Then said
they unto him,
Where is thy Father?
Jesus answered,
Ye neither
know me,
nor my Father:
if ye
had known me,
ye should have known
my Father also.
They understood not that
he spake to them
of the Father.
I speak
that which
I have seen
with my Father:
and ye
do
that which
ye have seen
with your father.
Ye do
the deeds
of your father.
Then said
they to him,
We be not born
of fornication;
we have
one Father,
even God.
Jesus
said unto them,
If God
were your Father,
ye would love me:
for I
proceeded forth
and came
from God;
neither came
I of myself,
but he sent me.
Jesus answered,
I have not
a devil;
but
I honour
my Father,
and
ye do dishonour me.
As the Father
knoweth me,
even so
know
I the Father:
and
I lay down
my life
for the sheep.
My Father,
which gave them me,
is greater than all;
and no man
is able
to pluck them
out of my Father's hand.
Jesus answered them,
Many good works
have
I shewed you
from my Father;
for which of those works
do ye stone me?
The Jews
answered him,
saying,
For a good work
we stone thee not;
but for blasphemy;
and
because
that thou,
being a man,
makest thyself God.
Say ye of him,
whom
the Father
hath sanctified,
and sent
into the world,
Thou blasphemest;
because
I said,
I am the Son
of God?
If I
do not the works
of my Father,
believe me not.
But if I do,
though ye
believe not me,
believe the works:
that ye
may know,
and believe,
that the Father
is in me,
and I in him.
If any man
serve me,
let him
follow me;
and where
I am,
there shall also my servant be:
if any man
serve me,
him will
my Father honour.
Now is
my soul troubled;
and
what shall
I say?
Father,
save me
from this hour:
but for this cause
came
I unto this hour.
Father,
glorify thy name.
Then came there
a voice
from heaven,
saying,
I have both glorified it,
and will glorify it again.
And
I know
that his commandment
is life everlasting:
whatsoever
I speak therefore,
even as
the Father
said unto me,
so I speak.
Jesus
knowing
that the Father
had given all things
into his hands,
and
that he
was come
from God,
and went to God;
In my Father's house
are many mansions:
if it
were not so,
I would have told you.
I go
to prepare a place
for you.
Jesus
saith unto him,
I am the way,
the truth,
and the life:
no man
cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
If ye
had known me,
ye should have known
my Father also:
and from henceforth
ye know him,
and have seen him.
Philip
saith unto him,
Lord,
shew us
the Father,
and it
sufficeth us.
Jesus
saith unto him,
Have I
been so long
time with you,
and yet hast
thou not known me,
Philip?
he that
hath seen me
hath seen
the Father;
and how sayest
thou then,
Shew us
the Father?
Believest
thou
not
that I
am in the Father,
and the Father
in me?
the words that
I speak unto you
I speak not
of myself:
but the Father
that dwelleth in me,
he doeth the works.
Believe me
that I
am in the Father,
and the Father in me:
or else
believe me
for the very works' sake.
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
He that believeth on me,
the works
that I do
shall
he do also;
and greater works than
these shall
he do;
because
I go
unto my Father.
And whatsoever
ye shall ask
in my name,
that will
I do,
that the Father
may be glorified
in the Son.
And
I will pray
the Father,
and
he shall give you
another Comforter,
that he
may abide
with you
for ever;
At that day
ye shall know
that I
am in my Father,
and ye in me,
and I in you.
He that
hath my commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it
is
that loveth me:
and he
that loveth me
shall be loved
of my Father,
and
I will love him,
and will manifest myself
to him.
Jesus
answered
and
said unto him,
If a man
love me,
he will keep
my words:
and my Father
will love him,
and
we will come unto him,
and make
our abode
with him.
He that
loveth me
not keepeth not
my sayings:
and the word
which ye
hear
is not mine,
but the Father's which
sent me.
But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father
will send
in my name,
he shall teach
you all things,
and bring all things
to your remembrance,
whatsoever
I have said
unto you.
But
that the world
may know that
I love
the Father;
and as the Father
gave me
commandment,
even so
I do.
Arise,
let us go hence.
Herein is
my Father glorified,
that ye
bear much fruit;
so shall
ye be
my disciples.
As the Father
hath loved me,
so have
I loved you:
continue ye in my love.
If ye
keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in
my love;
even as
I have kept
my Father's commandments,
and abide in
his love.
Ye have not chosen me,
but
I have chosen you,
and ordained you,
that ye
should go
and bring forth fruit,
and
that your fruit
should remain:
that whatsoever
ye shall ask of the Father
in my name,
he may give it you.
He that
hateth me
hateth
my Father also.
If I
had not done
among them the works
which none other man did,
they had not had sin:
but now have
they both seen
and hated both me
and my Father.
But
when the Comforter
is come,
whom
I will send
unto you
from the Father,
even the Spirit
of truth,
which proceedeth
from the Father,
he shall testify of me:
And these things
will
they do unto you,
because
they have not known
the Father,
nor me.
Of righteousness,
because
I go
to my Father,
and
ye see me no more;
All things
that the Father
hath are mine:
therefore said I,
that he
shall take
of mine,
and shall shew
it unto you.
And
in that day
ye shall ask me
nothing.
Verily,
verily,
I say unto you,
Whatsoever
ye shall ask
the Father
in my name,
he will give it you.
These things
have
I spoken unto you
in proverbs:
but the time cometh,
when
I shall no more
speak unto you
in proverbs,
but
I shall shew you
plainly of the Father.
At that day
ye shall ask
in my name:
and
I say not
unto you,
that I
will pray
the Father
for you:
For the Father himself
loveth you,
because
ye have loved me,
and have believed
that I
came out
from God.
I came forth
from the Father,
and am come
into the world:
again,
I leave
the world,
and go
to the Father.
These words
spake Jesus,
and lifted
up his eyes
to heaven,
and said,
Father,
the hour
is come;
glorify thy Son,
that thy Son
also may glorify thee:
And now,
O Father,
glorify
thou me
with thine own self
with the glory which
I had with thee
before the world was.
And now
I am no more
in the world,
but these
are in the world,
and I come
to thee.
Holy Father,
keep through thine
own
name those whom
thou hast given me,
that they
may be one,
as we are.
That they
all may be one;
as thou,
Father,
art in me,
and I in thee,
that they
also may be
one in us:
that the world
may believe that
thou hast sent me.
Father,
I will
that they also,
whom
thou hast given me,
be with me where
I am;
that they
may behold
my glory,
which thou
hast given me:
for thou
lovedst me
before the foundation
of the world.
Jesus saith unto her,
Touch me not;
for I am not yet ascended
to my Father:
but go
to my brethren,
and
say unto them,
I ascend
unto my Father,
and your Father;
and to my God,
and your God.
Then said Jesus
to them again,
Peace be
unto you:
as my Father
hath sent me,
even so
send I you.
And,
being assembled together with them,
commanded them
that they
should not depart
from Jerusalem,
but wait
for the promise
of the Father,
which,
saith he,
ye have heard of me.
Therefore being
by the right hand
of God exalted,
and having received
of the Father
the promise
of the Holy Ghost,
he hath
shed forth this,
which ye
now see
and hear.
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ
our Lord,
which was made of the seed
of David
according to the flesh;
And declared
to be the Son
of God
with power,
according to
the spirit
of holiness,
by the resurrection
from the dead:
To all
that be in Rome,
beloved of God,
called to be saints:
Grace to you
and peace
from God our Father,
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
For ye
have not received the spirit
of bondage
again to fear;
but
ye have received
the Spirit
of adoption,
whereby
we cry,
Abba, Father.
But to us
there is
but one God,
the Father,
of whom are all things,
and we in him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom are all things,
and we by him.
Then cometh the end,
when
he shall have delivered
up the kingdom
to God,
even the Father;
when he
shall have put down
all rule
and all authority
and power.
Blessed
be God,
even the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father
of mercies,
and the God
of all comfort;
And will be
a Father
unto you,
and
ye shall be my sons
and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.
Paul,
an apostle,
(not of men,
neither by man,
but by Jesus Christ,
and God
the Father,
who raised him
from the dead;)
Who gave himself
for our sins,
that he
might deliver us
from this present evil world,
according to the will
of God
and our Father:
But
when the fulness
of the time
was come,
God sent
forth his Son,
made of a woman,
made under the law,
To redeem them
that were under the law,
that we
might receive
the adoption
of sons.
And
because
ye are sons,
God hath sent
forth the Spirit
of his Son
into your hearts,
crying,
Abba, Father.
Wherefore
thou art
no more
a servant,
but a son;
and if a son,
then an heir
of God
through Christ.
Blessed
be
the God
and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us
with all spiritual blessings
in heavenly places
in Christ:
That the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father
of glory,
may give
unto you the spirit
of wisdom
and revelation
in the knowledge
of him:
For through him we both
have
access
by one Spirit
unto the Father.
For this cause
I bow
my knees
unto the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
One God
and Father
of all,
who is above all,
and through all,
and in you all.
Giving thanks
always
for all things
unto God
and the Father
in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ;
We give
thanks
to God
and the Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
praying always
for you,
Giving
thanks
unto the Father,
which hath made us
meet
to be partakers
of the inheritance
of the saints
in light:
That their hearts
might be comforted,
being
knit together
in love,
and unto all riches
of the full assurance
of understanding,
to the acknowledgement
of the mystery
of God,
and
of the Father,
and of Christ;
And whatsoever
ye do
in word or deed,
do all
in the name
of the Lord Jesus,
giving
thanks
to God
and the Father
by him.
Paul,
and Silvanus,
and Timotheus,
unto the church
of the Thessalonians
which is in God
the Father
and
in the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace
be
unto you,
and peace,
from God our Father,
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Remembering
without ceasing
your work
of faith,
and labour
of love,
and patience
of hope
in our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the sight
of God
and our Father;
Now God himself
and our Father,
and our Lord Jesus Christ,
direct our way
unto you.
To the end
he may stablish
your hearts unblameable
in holiness
before God,
even our Father,
at the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ
with all his saints.
Paul,
and Silvanus,
and Timotheus,
unto the church
of the Thessalonians
in God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace unto you,
and peace,
from God
our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself,
and God,
even our Father,
which hath loved us,
and hath given us
everlasting consolation
and good hope
through grace,
For unto
which of the angels
said
he at any time,
Thou art my Son,
this day
have
I begotten thee?
And again,
I will be
to him a Father,
and he
shall be to me a Son?
And again,
when
he bringeth in the firstbegotten
into the world,
he saith,
And let all
the angels
of God
worship him.
Furthermore
we have had
fathers
of our flesh which
corrected us,
and
we gave them reverence:
shall
we not much rather
be in subjection
unto the Father
of spirits,
and live?
Every good gift
and every perfect gift
is from above,
and cometh down
from the Father
of lights,
with whom
is no variableness,
neither shadow
of turning.
Pure religion
and undefiled
before God
and the Father
is this,
To visit
the fatherless
and widows
in their affliction,
and
to keep himself unspotted
from the world.
Therewith bless
we God,
even the Father;
and therewith curse
we men,
which are made
after the similitude
of God.
Elect according to
the foreknowledge
of God the Father,
through sanctification
of the Spirit,
unto obedience
and sprinkling
of the blood
of Jesus Christ:
Grace unto you,
and peace,
be multiplied.
Blessed
be
the God
and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to
his abundant mercy
hath begotten us again
unto a
lively hope
by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ
from the dead,
And
if ye
call on
the Father,
who
without respect
of persons
judgeth according to
every man's work,
pass the time
of your sojourning here
in fear:
(For the life
was manifested,
and
we have seen it,
and bear witness,
and shew unto you
that eternal life,
which was with the Father,
and
was manifested unto us;)
My little children,
these things
write
I unto you,
that ye
sin not.
And
if any man sin,
we have
an advocate
with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous:
I write unto you,
fathers,
because
ye have known him
that is
from the beginning.
I write unto you,
young men,
because
ye have overcome
the wicked one.
I write unto you,
little children,
because
ye have known
the Father.
Love
not the world,
neither the things
that are in the world.
If any man
love the world,
the love
of the Father
is not in him.
Who is a liar
but
he that
denieth
that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist,
that denieth
the Father
and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son,
the same
hath not
the Father:
he that
acknowledgeth
the Son
hath
the Father also.
Let
that therefore abide in you,
which ye
have heard
from the beginning.
If that
which ye
have heard
from the beginning
shall remain
in you,
ye also shall continue
in the Son,
and
in the Father.
Behold,
what manner
of love
the Father
hath bestowed upon us,
that we
should be called
the sons
of God:
therefore the world
knoweth us not,
because
it knew him not.
And
we have seen
and do testify
that the Father
sent the Son
to be the Saviour
of the world.
Grace be
with you,
mercy,
and peace,
from God the Father,
and
from the Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son
of the Father,
in truth and love.
I rejoiced greatly that
I found
of thy children
walking in truth,
as we
have received a commandment
from the Father.
Whosoever transgresseth,
and abideth
not in the doctrine
of Christ,
hath not God.
He that abideth
in the doctrine
of Christ,
he hath
both the Father
and the Son.
Jude,
the servant
of Jesus Christ,
and brother
of James,
to them
that
are sanctified
by God the Father,
and preserved
in Jesus Christ,
and called:
And
from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten
of the dead,
and the prince
of the kings
of the earth.
Unto him that
loved us,
and washed us
from our sins
in his own blood,
And hath made us kings
and priests
unto God
and his Father;
to him
be glory
and dominion
for ever and ever.
Amen.
He that overcometh,
the same
shall be clothed
in white raiment;
and
I will not blot
out his name
out of the book
of life,
but
I will confess
his name
before my Father,
and
before his angels.
And I looked,
and,
lo,
a Lamb
stood
on the mount Sion,
and with him an hundred forty
and four thousand,
having
his Father's name
written
in their foreheads.
