and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now

then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him, 2 Cor. v. 18-21. And he is the propitiation for our sins and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world, 1 John ii. 2. See also on chap. v. ver. 25.

Ὁ τρώγων μου τὴν σάρκα, καὶ τίνων μου τὸ αἷμα, ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον· καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, a hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, a dwelleth in and I in

him.

in

me,

a At that day ye shall know that I am my Father, and ye in me, and I in you, John xiv. 20. 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, 23. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of

itself, except it abide in the vine; no I am the vine, ye are the branches: more can ye, except ye abide in me. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing, xv. 4, 5. 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.

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast

sent me,

and hast loved them as thou

hast loved me, xvii. 21—23. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people, 2 Cor. vi. 16. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, Eph. iii. 17. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us, 1 John iii. 24. No man hath seen another, God dwelleth in us, and his God at any time. If we love one love is perfected in us, iv. 12. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God, 15.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd, John x. 16. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you, 26. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast, Eph. ii. 8, 9. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake, Phil. i. 29. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of Grstfruits of his creatures, Jam. i. 18.

A. D. 32.

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? a thou hast the words of eternal life.

a The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life, ver. 63. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life, v. 40. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under

αἰωνίου ἔχεις·

heaven given among men, whereby this is the record, that God hath given we must be saved, Acts iv. 12. And to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life... These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God, 1 John v. 11–13.

Ελεγε δὲ τὸν Ἰούδαν Σίμωνος Ισκαριώ την οὗτος γὰρ ἔμελλεν αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι, εἷς ἂν ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα

He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: a for he it was that should betray him, b being one of the twelve.

a Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer be come sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office, Psal. cix, 6-8. Men and brethren, the Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that

feast of the seventh month: And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch | olive branches, and pine brančhes, and | myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner, Neh. viii. 14-18.

b If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you, John xv. 18. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause, 25.
