1 Samuel 3:
3 - 10, 19
|
| 3 |
the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and
Samuel was lying down within the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was.
|
| 4 |
Then the LORD called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and
he said, "Here I am!" |
| 5 |
and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for
you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and
lay down. |
| 6 |
And the LORD called again, "Samuel!" And
Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he
said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again." |
| 7 |
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and
the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. |
| 8 |
And the LORD called Samuel again the third
time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me."
Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the boy. |
| 9 |
Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down;
and if he calls you, you shall say, `Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears.'" So
Samuel went and lay down in his place. |
| 10 |
And the LORD came and stood forth, calling
as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for thy servant
hears." |
| 19 |
And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him
and let none of his words fall to the ground.
Psalms 40:
2, 4, 7 - 10
|
| 2 |
He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of
the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
|
| 4 |
Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his
trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!
|
| 7 |
Then I said, "Lo, I come; in the roll of the
book it is written of me; |
| 8 |
I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law
is within my heart." |
| 9 |
I have told the glad news of deliverance in
the great congregation; lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O
LORD. |
| 10 |
I have not hid thy saving help within my
heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed
thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.

Corinthians 6: 13 - 15, 17 - 20
|
| 13 |
"Food is meant for the stomach and the
stomach for food" -- and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is
not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
|
| 14 |
And God raised the Lord and will also raise
us up by his power. |
| 15 |
Do you not know that your bodies are members
of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of
a prostitute? Never! |
| 17 |
But he who is united to the Lord becomes one
spirit with him. |
| 18 |
Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man
commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body.
|
| 19 |
Do you not know that your body is a temple
of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;
|
| 20 |
you were bought with a price. So glorify God
in your body.
John 1: 35
- 42
|
| 35 |
The next day again John was standing with
two of his disciples; |
| 36 |
and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and
said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" |
| 37 |
The two disciples heard him say this, and
they followed Jesus. |
| 38 |
Jesus turned, and saw them following, and
said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means
Teacher), "where are you staying?" |
| 39 |
He said to them, "Come and see." They came
and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was
about the tenth hour. |
| 40 |
One of the two who heard John speak, and
followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. |
| 41 |
He first found his brother Simon, and said
to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). |
| 42 |
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at
him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas"
(which means Peter). |
