THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

THE NEW TESTAMENT
CORINTHIAN 1:1 - 8
THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I am become a sounding brass,
or a tinkling symbal.
And though I have a gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge;
and though I have all faith, so I could remove mountains,
and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind:
charity envieth not, charity vaunteth not itself,
is nor puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.
Rejoice not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies,
they shall fall, whether there be tongues, they shall cease,
whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is come,
then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I understood as a child.
I thought as a child; but when I became a man,
I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass darkly;
but then face to face now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;
but the greatest of these is charity.

THE NEW TESTAMENT
JOHN 1:1 - 5
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.

" IN THE BEGINNING "
CREATION

In Every Beginning

In every beginning a life is born, a life to suffer,
a life to enjoy and a life to sacrifice.
In every beginning a new born cries, a miracle!
A creation of The Supreme Rule.

In every beginning a cry of new life summons and beckons.
Every breath of sigh, every bit of hope and
every breath of gladness.
A cry of new Life!

The beginning of a miracle, a miracle for living!
A reason to live and a reason to exist.
A reason to ponder, a reason to prepare because
in every beginning there is an end.

An end the humans bemoan and wish not forfeit!
In every beginning darkness envelopes and beckons as:
The earthly threshold closes its gates.
In every beginning a new kingdom awaits.

"Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done".
In every beginning, every single soul awaits.
A paradise to enjoy with life everlasting!

John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
