Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness,

Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.

And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:

And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army. And he said, How went the matter, my son?

And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves a year old?
