Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. …

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. …

For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” …

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. …

And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 2 And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

Aslan International Ministry

2 and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

3 and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;’

4 Jesus saith to her, `What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.’

5 His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you — do.’

6 And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

7 Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;’ and they filled them — unto the brim;

8 and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;’ and they bare.

9 And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

10 and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.’

11 This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

12 after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

13 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

14 and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

15 and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

16 and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.’

17 And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;’

18 the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?’

19 Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’

20 The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?’

21 but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

22 when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

23 And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

24 and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],

25 and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man. – Aslan International Ministry
