King James Version (KJV)

Exodus 30:1-33

1And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.2A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.3And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.4And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.5And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.6And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.7And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.8And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.9Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.10And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.11And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,12When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.13This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.14Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.15The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.16And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.17And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,18Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.19For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:20When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.22Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,23Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,24And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:25And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.26And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,27And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,28And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.29And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.30And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.31And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.32Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.33Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4

1:12For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 1:13For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 1:14As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1:15And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; 1:16And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea. 1:17When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? 1:18But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 1:19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 1:20For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 1:21Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 1:22Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 1:23Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 1:24Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

2:1But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.2:2For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?2:3And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.2:4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
