And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Page 148 - Charity suffereth long and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity 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.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
