TSK · Matthew 13:21

But yee sayde, Why is hee persecuted? And there was a deepe matter in me.

The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.

The wicked desireth the net of euils: but the roote of the righteous giueth fruite.

Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.

But whosoeuer heareth these my wordes, and doeth them not, shall be likened vnto a foolish man, which hath builded his house vpon the sand:

He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me; he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me.

And when the sunne was vp, they were parched, and for lacke of rooting, withered away.

Iesus then saide to his disciples, If any man will follow me, let him forsake himselfe: and take vp his crosse, and followe me.

But he that endureth to the ende, he shalbe saued.

But Peter aunswered, and sayde vnto him, Though that al men should be offended by thee, yet will I neuer be offended.

And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will followe me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.

But they that are on the stones, are they which when they haue heard, receiue ye word with ioy: but they haue no rootes: which for a while beleeue, but in the time of tentation goe away.

If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.

Iesus answered them; and sayde, Verely, verely I say vnto you, ye seeke me not because ye sawe the miracles, but because yee ate of ye loaues, and were filled.

Iesus answered them, Haue not I chosen you twelue, and one of you is a deuill?

I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, & I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.

That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life:

As many as desire to make a faire shewe in the flesh, they constraine you to be circumcised, onely because they would not suffer persecution for the crosse of Christ.

That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith:

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of which sort are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.

For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ:

I knowe thy workes and where thou dwellest, euen where Satans throne is, and thou keepest my Name, and hast not denied my faith, euen in those dayes when Antipas my faithfull martyr was slaine among you, where Satan dwelleth.
