Numbers 27
1
Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
3
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
4
Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
5
And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
6
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
7
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
8
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
9
And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
10
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
11
And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
12
And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
13
And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
14
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
15
And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
16
Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
17
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
18
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
19
And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20
And thou shalt put some of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
21
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
22
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
23
And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

Proverbs 19
1
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2
Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7
All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12
The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21
There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22
The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23
The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25
Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26
He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28
An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29
Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Philippians 3
1
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Philippians 4
1
Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
22
All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
