FBCL | Amos | Burden Bearer

The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of ^*Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. ² And he said,

The Lord will roar from Zion,

And utter his voice from Jerusalem;

And the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn,

And the top of ^kCarmel shall wither.

³  Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of Damascus,

^||And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because they have threshed ^pGilead with threshing instruments of iron:

⁴  But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,

Which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

⁵  I will break also the bar of Damascus,

And cut off the inhabitant from ^uthe plain of Aven,

And him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden:

And ^xthe people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. ⁶ He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. ⁷ Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment ^pwhich ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. ⁹ He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. ¹¹ But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

¹² I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake. ¹³ I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. ¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
