The Bible Reading Plan

Numbers Chapter 14

²⁶ForeverOne spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, ²⁷"How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

²⁸Tell them, 'As I live, says ForeverOne, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you: ²⁹your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me, ³⁰surely you won't enter the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³¹But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

³²But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

³³Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

³⁴After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.' ³⁵I, ForeverOne, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die." ³⁶The men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land, ³⁷even those men who brought an evil report of the land, died by the plague before ForeverOne.

³⁸But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

³⁹Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

Jeremiah Chapter 35

⁸We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters; ⁹nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: ¹⁰but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

¹¹But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, Come and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem.

¹²Then came the word of ForeverOne to Jeremiah, saying, ¹³Thus says ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel: Go, and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words? says ForeverOne.

¹⁴The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment: but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; and you have not listened to me.

¹⁵I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and don't go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.

¹⁶Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to me; ¹⁷therefore thus says ForeverOne, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.

¹⁸Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you; ¹⁹therefore thus says ForeverOne of Armies, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.

Jeremiah Chapter 36

¹In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from ForeverOne, saying, ²Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.

³It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

⁴Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of ForeverOne, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.

⁵Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I can't go into the house of ForeverOne: ⁶therefore you go, and read in the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of ForeverOne in the ears of the people in ForeverOne's house on the fast day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.

⁷It may be they will present their supplication before ForeverOne, and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that ForeverOne has pronounced against this people.

⁸Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of ForeverOne in ForeverOne's house.

⁵Exalt ForeverOne our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy!

⁶Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel among those who call on his name; they called on ForeverOne, and he answered them.

⁷He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

⁸You answered them, ForeverOne our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

⁹Exalt ForeverOne, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for ForeverOne, our God, is holy!

⁵For ForeverOne is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.

Psalm 101

A Psalm by David.

¹I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, ForeverOne, I will sing praises.

²I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

³I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

⁴A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

⁵I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

⁶My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

⁷He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

⁸Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from ForeverOne's city.

1 Corinthians Chapter 15

¹Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, ²by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you- unless you believed in vain.

³For I delivered to you first of all what I also received: that the AnointedOne died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, ⁵and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

⁶Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.

⁷Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, ⁸and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.

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

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

¹¹Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.

¹²Now if the AnointedOne is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹³But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has the AnointedOne been raised.

¹⁴If the AnointedOne has not been raised, then our preaching is empty, and your faith also is empty.

¹⁵So, we are then false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up the AnointedOne. He didn't raise him up if the dead aren't ever raised.

¹⁶For if the dead aren't raised, neither has the AnointedOne been raised.

¹⁷If the AnointedOne has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.

¹⁸Then they also who are fallen asleep in the AnointedOne have perished.

¹⁹If we have only hoped in the AnointedOne in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

²⁰But now the AnointedOne has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

²¹For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.

²²For as in Adam all die, so also in the AnointedOne all will be made alive.

²³But each in his own order: the AnointedOne the first fruits, then those who are the AnointedOne's, at his coming.

²⁴Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.

²⁵For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

²⁶The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

²⁷For, "He put all things in subjection under his feet." But when he says, "All things are put in subjection", it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.

²⁸When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

²⁹Or else what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead aren't raised at all, then why are they baptized for the dead?

³⁰Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?

³¹I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in AnointedOne Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

³²If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then "let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." ³³Don't be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good morals." ³⁴Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
