¹⁴ But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come of you, and of your own have we given you.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

⁹ He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹¹ I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

⁵ not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who is not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

³⁰ The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

¹ Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, But to your name give glory, For your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.

¹⁸ Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

¹⁰ I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

¹⁰ the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives forever and ever, and throw their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹³ For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

² On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.

¹⁰ For every animal of the forest is mine, And the cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹ I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell you, For the world is mine, and all that is in it.

⁹ Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

²² then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God's house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give the tenth to you."
