Know therefore this day, and consider {it} in thine heart, that the LORD he {is} God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: {there is} none else.

Behold, ye {are} of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination {is he that} chooseth you. {of nothing: or, worse than nothing} {of nought: or, worse than of a viper}

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments {is}, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

I {am} the LORD, and {there is} none else, {there is} no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou {art} the LORD, {even} thou only.

Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments {is}, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword {shall be} upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

For thou {art} great, and doest wondrous things: thou {art} God alone.

And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
