Popular passages
Page 97 - And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
Page 23 - If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord...
