TilE IIIGII CALLING OF GOD

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless. and I count all things bitt loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus nw Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all th-ings, and do counL them bill dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own right. eousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness \'ihich is of God by faith:

Bible Readings 9., TilE REWARD OF LOYALTY

43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature. taller than all the rest. and upon even· one of their heads he set crowns, and wa~ more exalu.:d: which I marvelled at Rfeatly.

44 So I ashd the angel, and said. Sir. what are these?

45 I Ie answered and said unto me. These he they that have put off the mortal dothin.\:!;. and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God. now are they crowned. and receive palms.

46 Then said I unto the angel. What young person is it that crowneth them. and giveth them palms in their hands?

47 So he ~lI1s\\"ered and said unto me, I t is the Son of God. whom thev have confessed in the world. Theil began I greatly to" commend them that stood so stimy for the name of the Lord.

48 Then the angel said unto me. Go thy way, and tell mv people what manner of things, and how grt:at wonders of the Lord thy God. thou hast seen. II Es­dras z:-t3 48

PURE RELIGION

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from

above. and cometh down from the Father of lights. with whom is no variableness. neither shadow of turning.

1 R Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of flrstfruits of his creatures.

19 Wherefore. my beloved brethren. let every man be swift to hear. slow to speak. slow to wrath:

2U For the wrath of man worketh not the rightl"ous­ness of God.

- - -------- - .~ ~ --~----- - - - ~.

Bible Readings 2 t Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity

of naughtiness. and receive with meekness the en­grafted word. which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only. deceiving you r own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word. and not a doer. he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

2-l For he bcholdeth himself. and goeth his way, and straightway forgcueth what manner of man he wag.

25 For whoso looketh into the perfect law of lib­erty. and con tinucth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridlt:th not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart. this man's religion /$ vain.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their amiction. and to keep himself unsJXltted from the world. james 1:,6 27
