1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ.

2For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified.

3And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.

4And my speech and my preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom. but in shewing of the Spirit and power:

5That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

6Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought.

7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, a wisdom which is hidden, which God ordained before the world, unto our glory:

8Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

9But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

10But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

1A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

7Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

8Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

10Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

57And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

58Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

59But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father.

60And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

61And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

62Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
