Popularne fragmenty
Strona 237 - Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth : therefore let thy words be few.
Strona 53 - For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
Strona 101 - Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Strona 148 - He feedeth on ashes : a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand...
Strona 202 - And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
Strona 194 - Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Strona 53 - When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Strona 133 - Who is the Lord?" or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
