“Mouths of Prophecy”

ROMANS CHAPTER 13

1     ¶ Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2     Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3     For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4     For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5     Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6     For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7     ¶ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8     Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

II CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 13

1     ¶ This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2     I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3     Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4     For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
5     Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6     But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7     ¶ Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8     For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9     For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
10     Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11     ¶ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12     Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13     All the saints salute you.
14     The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

ACTS 3

20     And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21     Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22     For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23     And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24     Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25     Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26     Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.    (Ref. KJV)
