The General Assembly having exactly examined and seriously considered the
Larger Catechism, agreed upon by the Assembly of the Divines sitting at
Westminster, with assistance of Commissioners from this Kirk (Church),
copies thereof being printed, and sent to the Presbyteries, for the more
exact trial thereof; and public intimation being frequently made in this
Assembly, that every one that had any doubts or objections upon it might put
them in; do find, upon due examination therefore, that the said Catechism
is agreeable to the word of God, and in nothing contrary to the received
doctrine, worship, discipline, and government of this Kirk (Church); a
necessary part of the intended uniformity in religion, and a rich treasure
for increasing knowledge among the people of God: and therefore the
Assembly, as they bless the Lord that so excellent a Catechism is prepared,
so they approve the same, as a part of uniformity; agreeing, for their part,
that it be a common Catechism for the three kingdoms, and a Directory for
catechizing such as have made some proficiency in the knowledge of the
grounds of religion.a

and the scope of the whole, which is to give all glory to God;(10)
by their light and power to convince and convert sinners, to comfort and

and also, according to his sovereign power, and the unsearchable counsel of

and ordaining marriage for his help;(82)
affording him communion with himself;(83)

entering into a covenant of life with him, upon condition of personal,
perfect, and perpetual obedience,(85)
of which the tree of life was a pledge;(86)
and forbidding to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, upon the
pain of death.(87)
Q. 21 Did man continue in that estate wherein God
at first created him?
A. Our first parents being left to the freedom of their own
will, through the temptation of Satan, transgressed the commandment of God
in eating the forbidden fruit; and thereby fell from the estate of innocency
wherein they were created(88)
Q. 22 Did all mankind fall in that first
transgression?

any law of God, given as a rule to the reasonable creature.(92)
Q. 25 Wherein consisteth the sinfulness of that
estate whereinto man fell?
A. The sinfulness of that estate whereinto man fell,
consisteth in the guilt of Adam's first sin,(93)
the want of that righteousness wherein he was created, and the corruption of
his nature, whereby he is utterly indisposed, disabled, and made opposite
unto all that is spiritually good, and wholly inclined to all evil, and that
continually;(94)
which is commonly called original sin, and from which do proceed
all actual transgressions.(95)
Q. 26 How is original sin conveyed from our first
parents unto their posterity?
A. Original sin is conveyed from our first parents unto
their posterity by natural generation, so as all that proceed from them in
that way are conceived and born in sin.(96)
Q. 27 What misery did the fall bring upon mankind?
A. The fall brought upon mankind the loss of communion with
God,
(97)his
displeasure and curse; so as we are by nature children of wrath,(98)
bond slaves to Satan,(99)
and justly liable to all punishments in this world, and that which is to
come.(100)
Q. 28 What are the punishments of sin in this
world?
A. The punishments of sin in this world are either inward,
as blindness of mind,(101)
a reprobate sense,(102)
strong delusions,(103)
hardness of heart,(104)
horror of conscience,(105)
and vile affections;(106)
or outward, as the curse of God upon the creatures for our sakes,(107)
and all other evils that befall us in our bodies, names, estates, relations,
and employments;(108)
together with death itself.(109)
Q. 29 What are the punishments of sin in the world
to come?
A. The punishments of sin in the world to come, are
everlasting separation from the comfortable presence of God, and most
grievous torments in soul and body, without intermission, in hell-fire
forever.(110)
Q. 30 Doth God leave all mankind to perish in the
estate of sin and misery?
A. God doth not leave all men to perish in the estate of
sin and misery,(111)
into which they fell by the breach of the first covenant, commonly called
the covenant of works;(112)
but of his mere love and mercy delivereth his elect out of it, and bringeth
them into an estate of salvation by the second covenant, commonly called the
covenant of grace.(113)
Q. 31 With whom was the covenant of grace made?
A. The covenant of grace was made with Christ as the second
Adam, and in him with all the elect as his seed.(114)
Q. 32 How is the grace of God manifested in the
second covenant?
A. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant,
in that he freely provideth and offereth to sinners a Mediator,(115)
and life and salvation by him;(116)
and requiring faith as the condition to interest them in him,(117)
promiseth and giveth his Holy Spirit(118)
to all his elect, to work in them that faith,(119)
with all other saving graces;(120)
and to enable them unto all holy obedience,(121)
as the evidence of the truth of their faith(122)
and thankfulness to God,(123)
and as the way which he hath appointed them to salvation.(124)
Q. 33 Was the covenant of grace always
administered after one and the same manner?
A. The covenant of grace was not always administered after
the same manner, but the administrations of it under the Old Testament were
different from those under the New.(125)
Q. 34 How was the covenant of grace administered
under the Old Testament?
A. The covenant of grace was administered under the Old
Testament, by promises,(126)
prophecies,(127)
sacrifices,(128)
circumcision,(129)
the passover,(130)
and other types and ordinances, which did all fore-signify Christ then to
come, and were for that time sufficient to build up the elect in faith in
the promised Messiah,(131)
by whom they then had full remission of sin, and eternal salvation.(132)
Q. 35 How is the covenant of grace administered
under the New Testament?
A. Under the New Testament, when Christ the substance was
exhibited, the same covenant of grace was and still is to be administered in
the preaching of the Word,(133)
and the administration of the sacraments of Baptism(134)
and the Lord's Supper;(135)
in which grace and salvation are held forth in more fulness, evidence, and
efficacy, to all nations.(136)
Q. 36 Who is the Mediator of the covenant of
grace?
A. The only Mediator of the covenant of grace is the Lord
Jesus Christ,(137)
who, being the eternal Son of God, of one substance and equal with the
Father,(138)
in the fulness of time became man,(139)
and so was and continues to be God and man, in two entire distinct natures,
and one person, forever.(140)
Q. 37 How did Christ, being the Son of God, become
man?
A. Christ the Son of God became man, by taking to himself a
true body, and a reasonable soul,(141)
being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the virgin
Mary, of her substance, and born of her,(142)
yet without sin.(143)
Q. 38 Why was it requisite that the Mediator
should be God?
A. It was requisite that the Mediator should be God, that
he might sustain and keep the human nature from sinking under the infinite
wrath of God, and the power of death,(144)
give worth and efficacy to his sufferings, obedience, and intercession;(145)
and to satisfy God's justice,(146)
procure his favour,(147)
purchase a peculiar people,(148)
give his Spirit to them,(149)
conquer all their enemies,(150)
and bring them to everlasting salvation.(151)
Q. 39 Why was it requisite that the Mediator
should be man?
A. It was requisite that the Mediator should be man, that
he might advance our nature,(152)
perform obedience to the law,(153)
suffer and make intercession for us in our nature,(154)
have a fellow-feeling of our infirmities;(155)
that we might receive the adoption of sons,(156)
and have comfort and access with boldness unto the throne of grace.(157)
Q. 40 Why was it requisite that the Mediator
should be God and man in one person?
A. It was requisite that the Mediator, who was to reconcile
God and man, should himself be both God and man, and this in one person,
that the proper works of each nature might be accepted of God for us,(158)
and relied on by us as the works of the whole person.(159)
Q. 41 Why was our Mediator called Jesus?
A. Our Mediator was called Jesus, because he saveth his
people from their sins(160)
Q. 42 Why was our Mediator called Christ?
A. Our Mediator was called Christ, because he was anointed
with the Holy Ghost above measure,(161)
and so set apart, and fully furnished with all authority and ability,(162)
to execute the offices of prophet,(163)
priest,(164)
and king of his church,(165)
in the estate both of his humiliation and exaltation.
Q. 43 How doth Christ execute the office of a
prophet?
A. Christ executeth the office of a prophet, in his
revealing to the church,(166)

the whole will of God,(169)
in all things concerning their edification and salvation.(170)
Q. 44 How doth Christ execute the office of a
priest?

offering himself a sacrifice without spot to God,(171)
to be reconciliation for the sins of his people;(172)
and in making continual intercession for them.(173)
Q. 45 How doth Christ execute the office of a
king?
A. Christ executeth the office of a king, in calling out of
the world a people to himself,(174)
and giving them officers,(175)
laws,(176)
and censures, by which he visibly governs them;(177)
in bestowing saving grace upon his elect,(178)
rewarding their obedience,(179)
and correcting them for their sins,(180)
preserving and supporting them under all their temptations and sufferings,(181)
restraining and overcoming all their enemies,(182)
and powerfully ordering all things for his own glory,(183)
and their good;(184)
and also in taking vengeance on the rest, who know not God, and obey not the
gospel.(185)
Q. 46 What was the estate of Christ's humiliation?
A. The estate of Christ's humiliation was that low
condition, wherein he for our sakes, emptying himself of his glory, took

and after his death, until his resurrection.(186)
Q. 47 How did Christ humble himself in his
conception and birth?
A. Christ humbled himself in his conception and birth, in
that, being from all eternity the Son of God, in the bosom of the Father, he

of low estate, and to be born of her; with divers circumstances of more than
ordinary abasement.(187)
Q. 48 How did Christ humble himself in his life?
A. Christ humbled himself in his life, by subjecting
himself to the law,(188)
which he perfectly fulfilled;(189)

and infirmities in his flesh, whether common to the nature of man, or
particularly accompanying that his low condition.(192)
Q. 49 How did Christ humble himself in his death?
A. Christ humbled himself in his death, in that having been
betrayed by Judas,(193)
forsaken by his disciples,(194)
scorned and rejected by the world,(195)
condemned by Pilate, and tormented by his persecutors;(196)
having also conflicted with the terrors of death, and the powers of
darkness, felt and borne the weight of God's wrath,(197)
he laid down his life an offering for sin,(198)
enduring the painful, shameful, and cursed death of the cross.(199)
Q. 50 Wherein consisted Christ's humiliation after
his death?
A. Christ's humiliation after his death consisted in his
being buried,(200)

hell.

held,)(206)

properties thereof,(207)
(but without mortality, and other common infirmities belonging to this
life,) really united to his soul,(208)
he rose again from the dead the third day by his own power;(209)
whereby he declared himself to be the Son of God,(210)
to have satisfied divine justice,(211)
to have vanquished death, and him that had the power of it,(212)
and to be Lord of quick and dead:(213)
all which he did as a public person,(214)
the head of his church,(215)
for their justification,(216)
quickening in grace,(217)
support against enemies,(218)
and to assure them of their resurrection from the dead at the last day.(219)
Q. 53 How was Christ exalted in his ascension?
A. Christ was exalted in his ascension, in that having
after his resurrection often appeared unto and conversed with his apostles,
speaking to them of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God,(220)
and giving them commission to preach the gospel to all nations,(221)
forty days after his resurrection, he, in our nature, and as our head,(222)
triumphing over enemies,(223)
visibly went up into the highest heavens, there to receive gifts for men,(224)
to raise up our affections thither,(225)
and to prepare a place for us,(226)
where he himself is, and shall continue till his second coming at the end of
the world.(227)

glory,(230)

his ministers and people with gifts and graces,(232)
and maketh intercession for them.(233)
Q. 55 How doeth Christ make intercession?
A. Christ maketh intercession, by his appearing in our
nature continually before the Father in heaven,(234)
in the merit of his obedience and sacrifice on earth,(235)
declaring his will to have it applied to all believers;(236)
answering all accusations against them,(237)
and procuring for them quiet of conscience, notwithstanding daily failings,(238)
access with boldness to the throne of grace,(239)
and acceptance of their persons(240)
and services.(241)
Q. 56 How is Christ to be exalted in his coming
again to judge the world?

all his holy angels,(244)
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God,(245)
to judge the world in righteousness.(246)
Q. 57 What benefits hath Christ procured by his
mediation?

with all other benefits of the covenant of grace.(248)
Q. 58 How do we come to be made partakers of the
benefits which Christ hath procured?

procured, by the application of them unto us,(249)
which is the work especially of God the Holy Ghost.(250)

communicated, to all those for whom Christ hath purchased it;(251)
who are in time by the Holy Ghost enabled to believe in Christ according to
the gospel.(252)

and so know not Jesus Christ, nor believe in him, be saved by their living
according to the light of nature?
A. They who, having never heard the gospel,(253)
know not Jesus Christ,(254)
and believe not in him, cannot be saved,(255)
be they never so diligent to frame their lives according to the light of
nature,(256)
or the laws of that religion which they profess;(257)
neither is there salvation in any other, but in Christ alone,(258)
who is the Savior only of his body the church.(259)
Q. 61 Are all they saved who hear the gospel, and
live in the church?

church, are not saved; but they only who are true members of the church
invisible.(260)

in all ages and places of the world do profess the true religion,(261)
and of their children.(262)
Q. 63 What are the special privileges of the
visible church?
A. The visible church hath the privilege of being under
God’s special care and government;(263)
of being protected and preserved in all ages, notwithstanding the opposition
of all enemies;(264)
and of enjoying the communion of saints, the ordinary means of salvation,(265)
and offers of grace by Christ to all the members of it in the ministry of
the gospel, testifying, that whosoever believes in him shall be saved,(266)
and excluding none that will come unto him.(267)
Q. 64 What is the invisible church?
A. The invisible church is the whole number of the elect,
that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one under Christ the head.(268)
Q. 65 What special benefits do the members of the
invisible church enjoy by Christ?
A. The members of the invisible church by Christ enjoy
union and communion with him in grace and glory.(269)
Q. 66 What is that union which the elect have with
Christ?
A. The union which the elect have with Christ is the work
of God’s grace,(270)
whereby they are spiritually and mystically, yet really and inseparably,
joined to Christ as their head and husband;(271)
which is done in their effectual calling.(272)
Q. 67 What is effectual calling?
A. Effectual calling is the work of God’s almighty power
and grace,(273)
whereby (out of his free and special love to his elect, and from nothing in
them moving him thereunto)(274)
he doth, in his accepted time, invite and draw them to Jesus Christ, by his
Word and Spirit;(275)
savingly enlightening their minds,(276)
renewing and powerfully determining their wills,(277)
so as they (although in themselves dead in sin) are hereby made willing and
able freely to answer his call, and to accept and embrace the grace offered
and conveyed therein.(278)
Q. 68 Are the elect only effectually called?
A. All the elect, and they only, are effectually called:(279)
although others may be, and often are, outwardly called by the ministry of
the Word,(280)
and have some common operations of the Spirit;(281)
who, for their wilful neglect and contempt of the grace offered to them,
being justly left in their unbelief, do never truly come to Jesus Christ.(282)
Q. 69 What is the communion in grace which the
members of the invisible church have with Christ?
A. The communion in grace which the members of the
invisible church have with Christ, is their partaking of the virtue of his
mediation, in their justification,(283)
adoption,(284)
sanctification, and whatever else, in this life, manifests their union with
him.(285)
Q. 70 What is justification?
A. Justification is an act of God’s free grace unto
sinners,(286)
in which he pardoneth all their sins, accepteth and accounteth their persons
righteous in his sight;(287)
not for any thing wrought in them, or done by them,(288)
but only for the perfect obedience and full satisfaction of Christ, by God
imputed to them,(289)
and received by faith alone.(290)
Q. 71 How is justification an act of God’s free
grace?
A. Although Christ, by his obedience and death, did make a
proper, real, and full satisfaction to God’s justice in the behalf of them
that are justified;(291)
yet in as much as God accepteth the satisfaction from a surety, which he
might have demanded of them, and did provide this surety, his own only Son,(292)
imputing his righteousness to them,(293)
and requiring nothing of them for their justification but faith,(294)
which also is his gift,(295)
their justification is to them of free grace.(296)
Q. 72 What is justifying faith?
A. Justifying faith is a saving grace,(297)
wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit(298)
and Word of God,(299)
whereby he, being convinced of his sin and misery, and of the disability in
himself and all other creatures to recover him out of his lost condition,(300)
not only assenteth to the truth of the promise of the gospel,(301)
but receiveth and resteth upon Christ and his righteousness, therein held
forth, for pardon of sin,(302)
and for the accepting and accounting of his person righteous in the sight of
God for salvation.(303)
Q. 73 How doth faith justify a sinner in the sight
of God?
A. Faith justifies a sinner in the sight of God, not
because of those other graces which do always accompany it, or of good works
that are the fruits of it,(304)
nor as if the grace of faith, or any act thereof, were imputed to him for
his justification;(305)
but only as it is an instrument by which he receiveth and applieth Christ
and his righteousness.(306)
Q. 74 What is adoption?
A. Adoption is an act of the free grace of God,(307)
in and for his only Son Jesus Christ,(308)
whereby all those that are justified are received into the number of his
children,(309)
have his name put upon them,(310)
the Spirit of his Son given to them,(311)
are under his fatherly care and dispensations,(312)
admitted to all the liberties and privileges of the sons of God, made heirs
of all the promises, and fellow-heirs with Christ in glory.(313)
Q. 75 What is sanctification?
A. Sanctification is a work of God’s grace, whereby they
whom God hath, before the foundation of the world, chosen to be holy, are in
time, through the powerful operation of his Spirit(314)applying
the death and resurrection of Christ unto them,(315)
renewed in their whole man after the image of God;(316)
having the seeds of repentance unto life, and all other saving graces, put
into their hearts,(317)
and those graces so stirred up, increased, and strengthened,(318)
as that they more and more die unto sin, and rise unto newness of life.(319)
Q. 76 What is repentance unto life?
A. Repentance unto life is a saving grace,(320)
wrought in the heart of a sinner by the Spirit(321)
and Word of God,(322)
whereby, out of the sight and sense, not only of the danger,(323)
but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins,(324)
and upon the apprehension of God’s mercy in Christ to such as are penitent,(325)
he so grieves for(326)
and hates his sins,(327)
as that he turns from them all to God,(328)
purposing and endeavouring constantly to walk with him in all the ways of
new obedience.(329)
Q. 77 Wherein do justification and sanctification
differ?
A. Although sanctification be inseparably joined with
justification, yet they differ(330),
in that God in justification imputeth the righteousness of Christ;(331)
in sanctification of his Spirit infuseth grace, and enableth to the exercise
thereof;(332)
in the former, sin is pardoned;(333)
in the other, it is subdued:(334)
the one doth equally free all believers from the revenging wrath of God, and
that perfectly in this life, that they never fall into condemnation(335)
the other is neither equal in all,(336)
nor in this life perfect in any,(337)
but growing up to perfection.(338)
Q. 78 Whence ariseth the imperfection of
sanctification in believers?
A. The imperfection of sanctification in believers ariseth
from the remnants of sin abiding in every part of them, and the perpetual
lustings of the flesh against the spirit; whereby they are often foiled with
temptations, and fall into many sins,(339)
are hindered in all their spiritual services,(340)
and their best works are imperfect and defiled in the sight of God.(341)
Q. 79 May not true believers, by reason of their
imperfections, and the many temptations and sins they are overtaken with,
fall away from the state of grace?
A. True believers, by reason of the unchangeable love of
God,(342)
and his decree and covenant to give them perseverance,(343)
their inseparable union with Christ,(344)
his continual intercession for them,(345)
and the Spirit and seed of God abiding in them,(346)
can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace,(347)
but are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.(348)
Q. 80 Can true believers be infallibly assured
that they are in the estate of grace, and that they shall persevere therein
unto salvation?
A. Such as truly believe in Christ, and endeavour to walk
in all good conscience before him,(349)
may, without extraordinary revelation, by faith grounded upon the truth of
God’s promises, and by the Spirit enabling them to discern in themselves
those graces to which the promises of life are made,(350)
and bearing witness with their spirits that they are the children of God,(351)
be infallibly assured that they are in the estate of grace, and shall
persevere therein unto salvation.(352)
Q. 81 Are all true believers at all times assured
of their present being in the estate of grace, and that they shall be saved?
A. Assurance of grace and salvation not being of the
essence of faith,(353)
true believers may wait long before they obtain it;(354)
and, after the enjoyment thereof, may have it weakened and intermitted,
through manifold distempers, sins, temptations, and desertions;(355)
yet they are never left without such a presence and support of the Spirit of
God as keeps them from sinking into utter despair.(356)
Q. 82 What is the communion in glory which the
members of the invisible church have with Christ?
A. The communion in glory which the members of the
invisible church have with Christ, is in this life,(357)
immediately after death,(358)
and at last perfected at the resurrection and day of judgment(359)
Q. 83 What is the communion in glory with Christ
which the members of the invisible church enjoy in this life?
A. The members of the invisible church have communicated to
them in this life the firstfruits of glory with Christ, as they are members
of him their head, and so in him are interested in that glory which he is
fully possessed of;(360)
and, as an earnest thereof, enjoy the sense of God’s love,(361)
peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, and hope of glory;(362)
as, on the contrary, sense of God’s revenging wrath, horror of conscience,
and a fearful expectation of judgment, are to the wicked the beginning of
their torments which they shall endure after death.(363)
Q. 84 Shall all men die?
A. Death being threatened as the wages of sin,(364)
it is appointed unto all men once to die;(365)
for that all have sinned.(366)
Q. 85 Death, being the wages of sin, why are not
the righteous delivered from death, seeing all their sins are forgiven in
Christ?
A. The righteous shall be delivered from death itself at
the last day, and even in death are delivered from the sting and curse of
it;(367)
so that, although they die, yet it is out of God’s love,(368)
to free them perfectly from sin and misery,(369)
and to make them capable of further communion with Christ in glory, which
they then enter upon.(370)
Q. 86 What is the communion in glory with Christ,
which the members of the invisible church enjoy immediately after death?
A. The communion in glory with Christ, which the members of
the invisible church enjoy immediately after death is, in that their souls
are then made perfect in holiness,(371)
and received into the highest heavens,(372)
where they behold the face of God in light and glory,(373)
waiting for the full redemption of their bodies,(374)
which even in death continue united to Christ,(375)
and rest in their graves as in their beds,(376)
till at the last day they be again united to their souls.(377)
Whereas the souls of the wicked are at their death cast into hell, where
they remain in torments and utter darkness, and their bodies kept in their
graves, as in their prisons, till the resurrection and judgment of the great
day.(378)
Q. 87 What are we to believe concerning the
resurrection?
A. We are to believe that at the last day there shall be a
general resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust:(379)
when they that are then found alive shall in a moment be changed; and the
selfsame bodies of the dead which were laid in the grave, being then again
united to their souls forever, shall be raised up by the power of Christ.(380)
The bodies of the just, by the Spirit of Christ, and by virtue of his
resurrection as their head, shall be raised in power, spiritual,
incorruptible, and made like to his glorious body;(381)
and the bodies of the wicked shall be raised up in dishonour by him, as an
offended judge.(382)
Q. 88 What shall immediately follow after the
resurrection?
A. Immediately after the resurrection shall follow the
general and final judgment of angels and men;(383)
the day and hour whereof no man knoweth, that all may watch and pray, and be
ever ready for the coming of the Lord.(384)
Q. 89 What shall be done to the wicked at the day
of judgment?
A. At the day of judgment, the wicked shall be set on
Christ’s left hand,(385)
and, upon clear evidence, and full conviction of their own consciences,(386)
shall have the fearful but just sentence of condemnation pronounced against
them;(387)
and thereupon shall be cast out from the favourable presence of God, and the
glorious fellowship with Christ, his saints, and all his holy angels, into
hell, to be punished with unspeakable torments, both of body and soul, with
the devil and his angels forever.(388)
Q. 90 What shall be done to the righteous at the
day of judgment?
A. At the day of judgment, the righteous, being caught up
to Christ in the clouds,(389)
shall be set on his right hand, and there openly acknowledged and acquitted,(390)
shall join with him in the judging of reprobate angels and men,(391)
and shall be received into heaven,(392)
where they shall be fully and forever freed from all sin and misery;(393)
filled with inconceivable joys,(394)
made perfectly holy and happy both in body and soul, in the company of
innumerable saints and holy angels,(395)
but especially in the immediate vision and fruition of God the Father, of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, to all eternity.(396)
And this is the perfect and full communion, which the members of the
invisible church shall enjoy with Christ in glory, at the resurrection and
day of judgment.
Q. 91 What is the duty which God requireth of man?
A. The duty which God requireth of man, is obedience to his
revealed will.(397)
Q. 92 What did God at first reveal unto man as the
rule of his obedience?
A. The rule of obedience revealed to Adam in the estate of
innocence, and to all mankind in him, besides a special command not to eat
of the fruit of the tree knowledge of good and evil, was the moral law.(398)
Q. 93 What is the moral law?
A. The moral law is the declaration of the will of God to
mankind, directing and binding every one to personal, perfect, and perpetual
conformity and obedience thereunto, in the frame and disposition of the
whole man, soul and body,(399)
and in performance of all those duties of holiness and righteousness which
he oweth to God and man:(400)
promising life upon the fulfilling, and threatening death upon the breach of
it.(401)
Q. 94 Is there any use of the moral law to man
since the fall?
A. Although no man, since the fall, can attain to
righteousness and life by the moral law:(402)
yet there is great use thereof, as well common to all men, as peculiar
either to the unregenerate, or the regenerate.(403)
Q. 95 Of what use is the moral law to all men?
A. The moral law is of use to all men, to inform them of
the holy nature and the will of God,(404)
and of their duty, binding them to walk accordingly;(405)
to convince them of their disability to keep it, and of the sinful pollution
of their nature, hearts, and lives:(406)
to humble them in the sense of their sin and misery,(407)
and thereby help them to a clearer sight of the need they have of Christ,(408)
and of the perfection of his obedience.(409)
Q. 96 What particular use is there of the moral
law to unregenerate men?
A. The moral law is of use to unregenerate men, to awaken
their consciences to flee from wrath to come,(410)
and to drive them to Christ;(411)
or, upon their continuance in the estate and way of sin, to leave them
inexcusable,(412)
and under the curse thereof.(413)
Q. 97 What special use is there of the moral law
to the regenerate?
A. Although they that are regenerate, and believe in
Christ, be delivered from the moral law as a covenant of works,(414)
so as thereby they are neither justified(415)
nor condemned;(416)
yet, besides the general uses thereof common to them with all men, it is of
special use, to show them how much they are bound to Christ for his
fulfilling it, and enduring the curse thereof in their stead, and for their
good;(417)
and thereby to provoke them to more thankfulness,(418)
and to express the same in their greater care to conform themselves
thereunto as the rule of their obedience.(419)
Q. 98 Where is the moral law summarily
comprehended?
A. The moral law is summarily comprehended in the ten
commandments, which were delivered by the voice of God upon Mount Sinai, and
written by him in two tables of stone;(420)
and are recorded in the twentieth chapter of Exodus. The four first
commandments containing our duty to God, and the other six our duty to man.(421)
Q. 99 What rules are to be observed for the right
understanding of the ten commandments?
A. For the right understanding of the ten commandments,
these rules are to be observed:
1. That the law is perfect, and bindeth everyone to full
conformity in the whole man unto the righteousness thereof, and unto entire
obedience forever; so as to require the utmost perfection of every duty, and
to forbid the least degree of every sin.(422)
2. That it is spiritual, and so reacheth the
understanding, will, affections, and all other powers of the soul; as well
as words, works, and gestures.(423)
3. That one and the same thing, in divers respects, is
required or forbidden in several commandments.(424)
4. That as, where a duty is commanded, the contrary sin is
forbidden;(425)
and, where a sin is forbidden, the contrary duty is commanded:(426)
so, where a promise is annexed, the contrary threatening is included;(427)
and, where a threatening is annexed, the contrary promise is included.(428)
5. That what God forbids, is at no time to be done;(429)
what he commands, is always our duty;(430)
and yet every particular duty is not to be done at all times.(431)
6. That under one sin or duty, all of the same kind are forbidden
or commanded; together with all the causes, means, occasions, and
appearances thereof, and provocations thereunto.(432)
7. That what is
forbidden or commanded to ourselves, we are bound, according to our places
to endeavour that it may be avoided or performed by others, according to the
duty of their places.(433)
8. That in what is commanded to others, we are bound, according to
our places and callings, to be helpful to them;(434)
and to take heed of partaking with others in what is forbidden them.(435)

and almighty God;(437)
having his being in and of himself,(438)
and giving being to all his words(439)
and works:(440)
and that he is a God in covenant, as with Israel of old, so with all his
people;(441)
who, as he brought them out of their bondage in Egypt, so he delivereth us
from our spiritual thraldom;(442)

all his commandments.(443)

before me
in the first commandment?
A. These words before me or before my face, in the
first commandment, teach us, that God, who seeth all things, taketh special
notice of, and is much displeased with, the sin of having any other God:
that so it may be an argument to dissuade from it, and to aggravate it as a
most impudent provocation:(515)
as also to persuade us to do as in his sight, whatever we do in his service.(516)
Q. 107 Which is the second commandment?
A. The second commandment is,
Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,

thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments;(554)
are, besides God’s sovereignty over us, and propriety in us,(555)
his fervent zeal for his own worship,(556)
and his revengeful indignation against all false worship, as being a
spiritual whoredom;(557)
accounting the breakers of this commandment such as hate him, and

commandment?
A. The reasons annexed to the third commandment, in these
words, The Lord thy God, and, For the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain,(617)
are, because he is the Lord and our God, therefore his name is not to be
profaned, or any way abused by us;(618)
especially because he will be so far from acquitting and sparing the
transgressors of this commandment, as that he will not suffer them to escape
his righteous judgment;(619)
albeit many such escape the censures and punishments of men.(620)
Q. 115 Which is the fourth commandment?
A. The fourth commandment is,
Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work; but the
seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy
maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For
in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is, and rested in the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the
sabbath-day and hallowed it.(621).
Q. 116 What is required in the fourth commandment?
A. The fourth commandment requireth of all men the
sanctifying or keeping holy to God such set times as he hath appointed in
his Word, expressly one whole day in seven; which was the seventh from the
beginning of the world to the resurrection of Christ, and the first day of
the week ever since, and so to continue to the end of the world; which is
the Christian sabbath,(622)
and in the New Testament called The Lord’s day.(623)
Q. 117 How is the sabbath or the Lord’s day to be
sanctified?
A. The sabbath or Lord’s day is to be sanctified by an holy
resting all the day,(624)
not only from such works as are at all times sinful, but even from such
worldly employments and recreations as are on other days lawful;(625)
and making it our delight to spend the whole time (except so much of it as
is to be taken up in works of necessity and mercy(626))
in the public and private exercises of God’s worship:(627)
and, to that end, we are to prepare our hearts, and with such foresight,
diligence, and moderation, to dispose and seasonably dispatch our worldly
business, that we may be the more free and fit for the duties of that day.(628)
Q. 118 Why is the charge of keeping the sabbath more
specially directed to governors of families, and other superiors?
A. The charge of keeping the sabbath is more specially
directed to governors of families, and other superiors, because they are
bound not only to keep it themselves, but to see that it be observed by all
those that are under their charge; and because they are prone ofttimes to
hinder them by employments of their own.(629)

all profaning the day by idleness, and doing that which is in itself sinful;(632)
and by all needless works, words, and thoughts, about our worldly
employments and recreations.(633)
Q. 120 What are the reasons annexed to the fourth
commandment, the more to enforce it?
A. The reasons annexed to the fourth commandment, the more
to enforce it, are taken from the equity of it, God allowing us six days of
seven for our own affairs, and reserving but one for himself in these words,
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:(634)
from God’s challenging a special propriety in that day, The seventh day
is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:(635)
from the example of God, who in six days made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: and from that
blessing which God put upon that day, not only in sanctifying it to be a day
for his service, but in ordaining it to be a means of blessing to us in our
sanctifying it; Wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed
it.(636)
Q. 121 Why is the word
Remember set in the
beginning of the fourth commandment?
A. The word Remember is set in the beginning of
the fourth commandment,(637)
partly, because of the great benefit of remembering it, we being thereby
helped in our preparation to keep it,(638)
and, in keeping it, better to keep all the rest of the commandments,(639)
and to continue a thankful remembrance of the two great benefits of creation
and redemption, which contain a short abridgment of religion;(640)
and partly, because we are very ready to forget it,(641)
for that there is less light of nature for it,(642)
and yet it restraineth our natural liberty in things at other times lawful;(643)
that it cometh but once in seven days, and many worldly businesses come
between, and too often take off our minds from thinking of it, either to
prepare for it, or to sanctify it;(644)
and that Satan with his instruments labours much to blot out the glory, and
even the memory of it, to bring in all irreligion and impiety.(645)
Q. 122 What is the sum of the six commandments which
contain our duty to man?

the visible church, and so strangers from the covenant of promise, till they
profess their faith in Christ, and obedience to him,(1066)
but infants descending from parents, either both, or but one of them,
professing faith in Christ, and obedience to him, are in that respect within
the covenant, and to be baptized.(1067)
Q. 167 How is our baptism to be improved by us?
A. The needful but much neglected duty of improving our
baptism, is to be performed by us all our life long, especially in the time
of temptation, and when we are present at the administration of it to
others;(1068)
by serious and thankful consideration of the nature of it, and of the ends
for which Christ instituted it, the privileges and benefits conferred and
sealed thereby, and our solemn vow made therein;(1069)
by being humbled for our sinful defilement, our falling short of, and
walking contrary to, the grace of baptism, and our engagements;(1070)
by growing up to assurance of pardon of sin, and of all other blessings
sealed to us in that sacrament;(1071)
by drawing strength from the death and resurrection of Christ, into whom we
are baptized, for the mortifying of sin, and quickening of grace;(1072)
and by endeavoring to live by faith,(1073)
to have our conversation in holiness and righteousness,(1074)
as those that have therein given up their names to Christ;(1075)
and to walk in brotherly love, as being baptized by the same Spirit into one
body.(1076)
Q. 168 What is the Lord’s supper?
A. The Lord’s supper is a sacrament of the New Testament,(1077)
wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to the appointment
of Jesus Christ, his death is showed forth; and they that worthily
communicate feed upon his body and blood, to their spiritual nourishment and
growth in grace;(1078)
have their union and communion with him confirmed;(1079)
testify and renew their thankfulness,(1080)
and engagement to God,(1081)
and their mutual love and fellowship each with the other, as members of the
same mystical body.(1082)
Q. 169 How hath Christ appointed bread and wine to
be given and received in the sacrament of the Lord’s supper?
A. Christ hath appointed the ministers of his Word, in the
administration of this sacrament of the Lord’s supper, to set apart the
bread and wine from common use, by the word of institution, thanksgiving,
and prayer; to take and break the bread, and to give both the bread and the
wine to the communicants: who are, by the same appointment, to take and eat
the bread, and to drink the wine, in thankful remembrance that the body of
Christ was broken and given, and his blood shed, for them.(1083)
Q. 170 How do they that worthily communicate in the
Lord’s supper feed upon the body and blood of Christ therein?
A. As the body and blood of Christ are not corporally or
carnally present in, with, or under the bread and wine in the Lord’s supper,(1084)
and yet are spiritually present to the faith of the receiver, no less truly
and really than the elements themselves are to their outward senses;(1085)
so they that worthily communicate in the sacrament of the Lord’s supper, do
therein feed upon the body and blood of Christ, not after a corporal and
carnal, but in a spiritual manner; yet truly and really,(1086)
while by faith they receive and apply unto themselves Christ crucified, and
all the benefits of his death.(1087)
Q. 171 How are they that receive the sacrament of
the Lord’s supper to prepare themselves before they come unto it?
A. They that receive the sacrament of the Lord’s supper
are, before they come, to prepare themselves thereunto, by examining
themselves(1088)
of their being in Christ,(1089)
of their sins and wants;(1090)
of the truth and measure of their knowledge,(1091)
faith,(1092)
repentance;(1093)
love to God and the brethren,(1094)
charity to all men,(1095)
forgiving those that have done them wrong;(1096)
of their desires after Christ,(1097)
and of their new obedience;(1098)
and by renewing the exercise of these graces,(1099)
by serious meditation,(1100)
and fervent prayer.(1101)
Q. 172 May one who doubteth of his being in Christ,
or of his due preparation, come to the Lord’s supper?
A. One who doubteth of his being in Christ, or of his due
preparation to the sacrament of the Lord’s supper, may have true interest in
Christ, though he be not yet assured thereof;(1102)
and in God’s account hath it, if he be duly affected with the apprehension
of the want of it,(1103)
and unfeignedly desires to be found in Christ,(1104)
and to depart from iniquity:(1105)
in which case (because promises are made, and this sacrament is appointed,
for the relief even of weak and doubting Christians(1106)
he is to bewail his unbelief,(1107)
and labor to have his doubts resolved;(1108)
and, so doing, he may and ought to come to the Lord’s supper, that he may be
further strengthened.(1109)
Q. 173 May any who profess the faith, and desire to
come to the Lord’s supper, be kept from it?
A. Such as are found to be ignorant or scandalous,
notwithstanding their profession of the faith, and desire to come to the
Lord’s supper, may and ought to be kept from that sacrament, by the power
which Christ hath left in his church,(1110)
until they receive instruction, and manifest their reformation.(1111)
Q. 174 What is required of them that receive the
sacrament of the Lord’s supper in the time of the administration of it?
A. It is required of them that receive the sacrament of the
Lord’s supper, that, during the time of the administration of it, with all
holy reverence and attention they wait upon God in that ordinance,(1112)
diligently observe the sacramental elements and actions,(1113)
heedfully discern the Lord’s body,(1114)
and affectionately meditate on his death and sufferings,(1115)
and thereby stir up themselves to a vigorous exercise of their graces;(1116)
in judging themselves,(1117)
and sorrowing for sin;(1118)
in earnest hungering and thirsting after Christ,(1119)
feeding on him by faith,(1120)
receiving of his fullness,(1121)
trusting in his merits,(1122)
rejoicing in his love,(1123)
giving thanks for his grace;(1124)
in renewing of their covenant with God,(1125)
and love to all the saints.(1126)
Q 175 What is the duty of Christians, after
they have received the sacrament of the Lord’s supper?
A. The duty of Christians, after
they have received
the sacrament of the Lord’s supper, is seriously to consider
how they have behaved themselves therein, and with what success;(1127)
if they find quickening and comfort, to bless God for it,(1128)
beg the continuance of it,(1129)
watch against relapses,(1130)
fulfill their vows,(1131)
and encourage themselves to a frequent attendance on that ordinance:(1132)
but if they find no present benefit, more exactly to review their
preparation to, and carriage at, the sacrament;(1133)
in both which, if they can approve themselves to God and their own
consciences, they are to wait for the fruit of it in due time:(1134)
but, if they see they have failed in either, they are to be humbled,(1135)
and to attend upon it afterwards with more care and diligence.(1136)
Q. 176 Wherein do the sacraments of baptism and the
Lord’s supper agree?
A. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper agree,
in that the author of both is God;(1137)
the spiritual part of both is Christ and his benefits;(1138)
both are seals of the same covenant,(1139)
are to be dispensed by ministers of the gospel, and by none other;(1140)
and to be continued in the church of Christ until his second coming.(1141)
Q. 177 Wherein do the sacraments of baptism and the
Lord’s supper differ?
A. The sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper differ,
in that baptism is to be administered but once, with water, to be a sign and
seal of our regeneration and ingrafting into Christ,(1142)
and that even to infants;(1143)
whereas the Lord’s supper is to be administered often, in the elements of
bread and wine, to represent and exhibit Christ as spiritual nourishment to
the soul,(1144)
and to confirm our continuance and growth in him,(1145)
and that only to such as are of years and ability to examine themselves.(1146)
Q. 178 What is prayer?
A. Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God,(1147)
in the name of Christ,(1148)
by the help of his Spirit;(1149)
with confession of our sins,(1150)
and thankful acknowledgment of his mercies.(1151)
Q. 179 Are we to pray unto God only?
A. God only being able to search the hearts,(1152)
hear the requests,(1153)
pardon the sins,(1154)
and fulfill the desires of all;(1155)
and only to be believed in,(1156)
and worshipped with religious worship;(1157)
prayer, which is a special part thereof,(1158)
is to be made by all to him alone,(1159)
and to none other.(1160)
Q. 180 What is it to pray in the name of Christ?
A. To pray in the name of Christ is, in obedience to his
command, and in confidence on his promises, to ask mercy for his sake;(1161)
not by bare mentioning of his name,(1162)
but by drawing our encouragement to pray, and our boldness, strength, and
hope of acceptance in prayer, from Christ and his mediation.(1163)
Q. 181 Why are we to pray in the name of Christ?
A. The sinfulness of man, and his distance from God by
reason thereof, being so great, as that we can have no access into his
presence without a mediator;(1164)
and there being none in heaven or earth appointed to, or fit for, that
glorious work but Christ alone,(1165)
we are to pray in no other name but his only.(1166)
Q. 182 How doth the Spirit help us to pray?
A. We not knowing what to pray for as we ought, the Spirit
helpeth our infirmities, by enabling us to understand both for whom, and
what, and how prayer is to be made; and by working and quickening in our
hearts (although not in all persons, nor at all times, in the same measure)
those apprehensions, affections, and graces which are requisite for the
right performance of that duty.(1167)
Q. 183 For whom are we to pray?
A. We are to pray for the whole church of Christ upon
earth;(1168)
for magistrates,(1169)
and ministers;(1170)
for ourselves,(1171)
our brethren,(1172)
yea, our enemies;(1173)
and for all sorts of men living,(1174)
or that shall live hereafter;(1175)
but not for the dead,(1176)
nor for those that are known to have sinned the sin unto death.(1177)
Q. 184 For what things are we to pray?
A. We are to pray for all things tending to the glory of
God,(1178)
the welfare of the church,(1179)
our own(1180)or
others, good;(1181)
but not for anything that is unlawful.(1182)
Q. 185 How are we to pray?
A. We are to pray with an awful apprehension of the majesty
of God,(1183)
and deep sense of our own unworthiness,(1184)
necessities,(1185)
and sins;(1186)
with penitent,(1187)
thankful,(1188)
and enlarged hearts;(1189)
with understanding,(1190)
faith,(1191)
sincerity,(1192)
fervency,(1193)
love,(1194)
and perseverance,(1195)
waiting upon him,(1196)
with humble submission to his will.(1197)
Q. 186 What rule hath God given for our direction in
the duty of prayer?
A. The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in the duty
of prayer;(1198)
but the special rule of direction is that form of prayer which our Savior
Christ taught his disciples, commonly called The Lord’s Prayer.(1199)
Q. 187 How is the Lord’s Prayer to be used?
A. The Lord’s Prayer is not only for direction, as a
pattern, according to which we are to make other prayers; but may also be
used as a prayer, so that it be done with understanding, faith, reverence,
and other graces necessary to the right performance of the duty of prayer.(1200)
Q. 188 Of how many parts doth the Lord’s Prayer
consist?
A. The Lord’s Prayer consists of three parts; a preface,
petitions, and a conclusion.
Q. 189 What doth the preface of the Lord’s Prayer
teach us?
A. The preface of the Lord’s Prayer (contained in these
words, Our Father which art in heaven,(1201))
teacheth us, when we pray, to draw near to God with confidence of his
fatherly goodness, and our interest therein;(1202)
with reverence, and all other childlike dispositions,(1203)
heavenly affections,(1204)
and due apprehensions of his sovereign power, majesty, and gracious
condescension:(1205)
as also, to pray with and for others.(1206)
Q. 190 What do we pray for in the first petition?
A. In the first petition, (which is,
Hallowed by thy
name,(1207))
acknowledging the utter inability and indisposition that is in ourselves and
all men to honor God aright,(1208)
we pray, that God would by his grace enable and incline us and others to
know, to acknowledge, and highly to esteem him,(1209)
his titles,(1210)
attributes,(1211)
ordinances, Word,(1212)
works, and whatsoever he is pleased to make himself known by;(1213)
and to glorify him in thought, word,(1214)
and deed:(1215)
that he would prevent and remove atheism,(1216)
ignorance,(1217)
idolatry,(1218)
profaneness,(1219)
and whatsoever is dishonorable to him;(1220)
and, by his over-ruling providence, direct and dispose of all things to his
own glory.(1221)
Q. 191 What do we pray for in the second petition?
A. In the second petition, (which is,
Thy kingdom come,(1222))
acknowledging ourselves and all mankind to be by nature under the dominion
of sin and Satan,(1223)
we pray, that the kingdom of sin and Satan may be destroyed,(1224)
the gospel propagated throughout the world,(1225)
the Jews called,(1226)
the fullness of the Gentiles brought in;(1227)
the church furnished with all gospel-officers and ordinances,(1228)
purged from corruption,(1229)
countenanced and maintained by the civil magistrate:(1230)
that the ordinances of Christ may be purely dispensed, and made effectual to
the converting of those that are yet in their sins, and the confirming,
comforting, and building up of those that are already converted:(1231)
that Christ would rule in our hearts here,(1232)
and hasten the time of his second coming, and our reigning with him forever:(1233)
and that he would be pleased so to exercise the kingdom of his power in all
the world, as may best conduce to these ends.(1234)
Q. 192 What do we pray for in the third petition?
A. In the third petition, (which is,
Thy will be done
in earth as it is in heaven,(1235))
acknowledging, that by nature we and all men are not only utterly unable and
unwilling to know and do the will of God,(1236)
but prone to rebel against his Word,(1237)
to repine and murmur against his providence,(1238)
and wholly inclined to do the will of the flesh, and of the devil:(1239)
we pray, that God would by his Spirit take away from ourselves and others
all blindness,(1240)
weakness,(1241)
indisposedness,(1242)
and perverseness of heart;(1243)
and by his grace make us able and willing to know, do, and submit to his
will in all things,(1244)
with the like humility,(1245)
cheerfulness,(1246)
faithfulness,(1247)
diligence,(1248)
zeal,(1249)
sincerity,(1250)
and constancy,(1251)
as the angels do in heaven.(1252)
Q. 193 What do we pray for in the fourth petition?
A. In the fourth petition, (which is,
Give us this day
our daily bread,(1253))
acknowledging, that in Adam, and by our own sin, we have forfeited our right
to all the outward blessings of this life, and deserve to be wholly deprived
of them by God, and to have them cursed to us in the use of them;(1254)
and that neither they of themselves are able to sustain us,(1255)
nor we to merit,(1256)
or by our own industry to procure them;(1257)
but prone to desire,(1258)
get,(1259)
and use them unlawfully:(1260)
we pray for ourselves and others, that both they and we, waiting upon the
providence of God from day to day in the use of lawful means, may, of his
free gift, and as to his fatherly wisdom shall seem best, enjoy a competent
portion of them;(1261)
and have the same continued and blessed unto us in our holy and comfortable
use of them,(1262)
and contentment in them;(1263)
and be kept from all things that are contrary to our temporal support and
comfort.(1264)
Q. 194 What do we pray for in the fifth petition?
A. In the fifth petition, (which is,
Forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors,(1265))
acknowledging, that we and all others are guilty both of original and actual
sin, and thereby become debtors to the justice of God; and that neither we,
nor any other creature, can make the least satisfaction for that debt:(1266)
we pray for ourselves and others, that God of his free grace would, through
the obedience and satisfaction of Christ, apprehended and applied by faith,
acquit us both from the guilt and punishment of sin,(1267)
accept us in his Beloved;(1268)
continue his favour and grace to us,(1269)
pardon our daily failings,(1270)
and fill us with peace and joy, in giving us daily more and more assurance
of forgiveness;(1271)
which we are the rather emboldened to ask, and encouraged to expect, when we
have this testimony in ourselves, that we from the heart forgive others
their offenses.(1272)
Q. 195 What do we pray for in the sixth petition?
A. In the sixth petition, (which is,
And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil,(1273))
acknowledging, that the most wise, righteous, and gracious God, for divers
holy and just ends, may so order things, that we may be assaulted, foiled,
and for a time led captive by temptations;(1274)
that Satan,(1275)
the world,(1276)
and the flesh, are ready powerfully to draw us aside, and ensnare us;(1277)
and that we, even after the pardon of our sins, by reason of our corruption,(1278)
weakness, and want of watchfulness,(1279)
are not only subject to be tempted, and forward to expose ourselves unto
temptations,(1280)
but also of ourselves unable and unwilling to resist them, to recover out of
them, and to improve them;(1281)
and worthy to be left under the power of them:(1282)
we pray, that God would so overrule the world and all in it,(1283)
subdue the flesh,(1284)
and restrain Satan,(1285)
order all things,(1286)
bestow and bless all means of grace,(1287)
and quicken us to watchfulness in the use of them, that we and all his
people may by his providence be kept from being tempted to sin;(1288)
or, if tempted, that by his Spirit we may be powerfully supported and
enabled to stand in the hour of temptation;(1289)
or when fallen, raised again and recovered out of it,(1290)
and have a sanctified use and improvement thereof:(1291)
that our sanctification and salvation may be perfected,(1292)
Satan trodden under our feet,(1293)
and we fully freed from sin, temptation, and all evil, forever.(1294)
Q. 196 What doth the conclusion of the Lord’s Prayer
teach us?
A. The conclusion of the Lord’s Prayer, (which is,
For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.(1295))
teacheth us to enforce our petitions with arguments,(1296)
which are to be taken, not from any worthiness in ourselves, or in any other
creature, but from God;(1297)
and with our prayers to join praises,(1298)
ascribing to God alone eternal sovereignty, omnipotency, and glorious
excellency;(1299)
in regard whereof, as he is able and willing to help us,(1300)
so we by faith are emboldened to plead with him that he would,(1301)
and quietly to rely upon him, that he will fulfil our requests.(1302)
And, to testify this our desire and assurance, we say,
Amen.(1303)

This statement was the official statement issued by the General
Assembly of the Church of Scotland at the time of its official
approval. The three kingdoms spoken of here were Scotland, England
and Wales. Sadly, the “uniformity” sought throughout the kingdoms
was not achieved, nevertheless, this catechism along with confession
and shorter catechism became the statements of the Church of
Scotland which was a very mission minded church for centuries after
and thus these long-standing doctrinal and instructional statements
have become the foundation of most churches planted by them. While
these became the doctrinal statements of the Presbyterian churches,
many other church doctrinal statements were derived from these, such
as those in many Baptist, Congregational and Independent churches
not only in the United Kingdom, but around the world and remain in
use unto this day.

declare all thy works. John 17:21-23 — That they
all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they

correction, for instruction in righteousness
17 That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Isaiah 59:21 —

glory:.. 13

man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual. Psalm 119:18, 129 —

Genesis 2:16-17 —
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every
tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou
eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Romans 5:12-20 —
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned: 13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
there is no law. 14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is
the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much
more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man,
Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that
sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and
of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.) 18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came
upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one
the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
19 For as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be
made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might
abound. 20
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22 — For since by man came
death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.

The man that doeth them shall live in them.
(93)
Romans 5:12, 19 —
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all
have sinned... 19

sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
(94)
Romans 3:10-19 — As it is
written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There
is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one 13
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they
have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15
Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and
misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have
they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their
eyes 19 Now we know that what things soever the law
saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may
be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God;
Ephesians 2:1-3 —
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:
2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world, according to the prince of
the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience: 3 Among whom also we
all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by
nature the children of wrath, even as others. Romans 5:6 —
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly. Romans 8:7-8 — Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law
of God, neither indeed can be. 8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot

wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
(95)
James 1:14-15 —
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of
his own lust, and enticed. 15

the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of
the garden... 10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I
was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself...
24 So he drove out the man; and he
placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming
sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
(98)
Ephesians 2:2-3 —
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the
course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the
air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Luke 16:24 —

in them.
(113)
Titus 3:4-7 —
But after that the kindness and love of God our
Saviour toward man appeared, 5
Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of

through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should
be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have

there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is

if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of
God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath
abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that
sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men
to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift
came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as
by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where
sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 That as sin
hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter

engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel
could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his
countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the

ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the
ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

same are the children of Abraham.

into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to
them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

higher than the heavens; 27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to
offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the
people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the
law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead

disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
world? 21

God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them
that believe. 22

waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have
they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with
their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them. John 6:64-65 —

righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God. Romans 4:5 — But to him that

world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and
hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.... For he hath
made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him. Romans 3:22, 24-25, 27-28 —
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus
Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no
difference.... Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a
propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the
forbearance of God.... Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By
what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we
conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the
law.

soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous
servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth
nigh unto the grave... 6
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in
the deeps. 7
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast
afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah....
9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of
affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched
out my hands unto thee. 10
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead
arise and praise thee? Selah....
13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in
the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

why hidest thou thy face from me?
15 I am afflicted and ready to die from my
youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.

God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto
me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore

my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest mine
eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I
have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with
mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 7
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail
for evermore? 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath
he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 10 And I
said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the
right hand of the most High. 11 I will remember the works
of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 12
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?...
6 I opened to my beloved; but

9 For this is as the waters of Noah
unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more
go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with
thee, nor rebuke thee. 10

removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall

lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the
judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in
remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took
the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament
in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of
me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this

Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of
that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth

these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle
the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care
for oxen? 10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For
our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should
plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker
of his hope. 11 If we have sown unto you spiritual
things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we
rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all
things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do
ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the
things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers
with the altar? 14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that
they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 15
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written
these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better
for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off
from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of

Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God:

unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have
burnt in the fire to their gods.

do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of
similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of
the midst of the fire: 16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and
make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness
of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is
on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the
air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the
ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the

(540)
Malachi 1:7-8, 14 —
Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say,
Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD
is contemptible. 8

evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it
now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy
person? saith the LORD of hosts....

a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and
my name is dreadful among the heathen.

altars of brick; Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the

sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not

and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table,
and of the table of devils. 22

stronger than he? Deuteronomy 32:16-20 — They
provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations
provoked they him to anger. 17

gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your
fathers feared not. 18
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and
hast forgotten God that formed thee.

abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his
daughters. 20

they be the children of whoredoms.

And when he had given thanks, he brake it,
and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this
do in remembrance of me. 25
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he
had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this
do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me...
28 But let a man examine himself, and
so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning
the Lord's body.

God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that
which thou hast vowed. 5
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that
thou shouldest vow and not pay. 6
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to
sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error:
wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of
thine hands?
(568)
Acts 1:24, 26 — And they prayed, and

Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we
polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is
contemptible... 12
But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table
of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is
contemptible. Malachi 3:14 — Ye have said, It is

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of
these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which
they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the
other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Matthew
22:24-31 — Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die,
having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up
seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven
brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and,
having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26
Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27
And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore
in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they
all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do
err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But
as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that
which was spoken unto you by God, saying.
Matthew 25:28-30 — Take therefore
the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall

shall be taken away even that which he hath.

into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

and his house.... 36
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more:
for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the

abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the
LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13

God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor
thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within
thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well
as thou. 15
And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of
Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a
mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God
commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Amos 8:5 —
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and

Lamentations 1:7 —

Jeremiah 17:21-23 — Thus saith the LORD; Take heed
to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it
in by the gates of Jerusalem; 22
Neither carry forth a burden out of your
houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the
sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 But they obeyed not, neither
inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not
hear, nor receive instruction. Nehemiah 13:15-22 —
In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on
the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also
wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they
brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against
them in the day wherein they sold victuals. 16 There
dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner
of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in
Jerusalem. 17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah,
and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane
the sabbath day? 18 Did not your fathers thus, and did
not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye
bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. 19
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be
dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut,
and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath:
and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no
burden be brought in on the sabbath day. 20 So the
merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem
once or twice. 21 Then I testified against them, and said
unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will
lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the
sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that they should
cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to
sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this
also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

right. 2
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with
promise... 6

servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

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

evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for
wrath, but also for conscience sake. Hebrews

over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as

LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your
master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is,
and the cruse of water that was at his bolster. 2 Samuel
18:3 — But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth:

city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our

and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making
brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore? 15 Then

brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in
thine own people. 17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are

18 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be
given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.

beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast
out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are
together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not
one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their
tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their
lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16
Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way
of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God
before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever

Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would

of the law; 19 And art confident that thou thyself art a
guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast
the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?
thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou
commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit
sacrilege? 23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law,
through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24 For
the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it
is written.

Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he
was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from
James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he
withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the
circumcision. 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise
with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their
dissimulation. 14 But when I saw that they walked not

Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles
to live as do the Jews?

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Romans 16:25 —
Now to him that is of power to stablish you
according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according
to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the
world began. 1 Thessalonians 3:2, 10-11, 13 — And
sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our
fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to
comfort you concerning your faith...
10 Night and day praying exceedingly
that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking
in your faith? 11
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus
Christ, direct our way unto you...
13 To the end he may stablish your
hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. Romans
15:4 — For whatsoever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope. Romans 10:13-17 —
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they
have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they
have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is
written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel
of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But
they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who
hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God..
Romans 1:16 — For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
(1001)
Deuteronomy 31:9, 11-13 —
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the
priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the
LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel...
11 When all Israel is come to appear
before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou
shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12 Gather the people together, men, and women,
and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they
may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and
observe to do all the words of this law:
13 And that their children, which have
not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God,
as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess
it. Nehemiah 8:2-3 — And Ezra the priest brought
the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that
could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh
month. 3
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate
from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and
those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were
attentive unto the book of the law. Nehemiah 9:3-5 —
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of
the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and
another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their
God. 4 Then
stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani…and cried
with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and
Kadmiel…said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and
ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all
blessing and praise.
(1002)

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein
all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his
God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do
them. Revelation 1:3 — Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time is at hand. John
5:39 — Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Isaiah
34:16 — Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no
one of these shall fail…
(1003)
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 — And
these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and
shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou
walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine
hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on
thy gates.. Genesis 18:17 — And the
LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?... For I
know him, that he will command his children and his household after
him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and
judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath
spoken of him. Psalm 78:5-7 — For he established a
testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he
commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their
children: 6
That the generation to come might know them, even
the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them
to their children: 7
That they might set their hope in God, and not
forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.
(1004)
1 Corinthians 14:6, 9, 11-12, 15-16, 24,
27-28 — Now, brethren, if I come
unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I
shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by
prophesying, or by doctrine?... 9
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue
words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken?
for ye shall speak into the air....
11 Therefore if I know not the meaning
of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he
that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are
zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying
of the church... 15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I
will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit,
and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with the
spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say
Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou
sayest?... 24
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that
believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is
judged of all.... 27
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by
two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one
interpret. 28
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence
in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
(1005)

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than
much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears
of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a
pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him
stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah,
and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and
Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and
Meshullam. 5
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the
people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it,
all the people stood up: 6
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all
the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and
they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to
the ground… 10 Then he said
unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send
portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is
holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is
your strength.
Exodus 24:7 —
And he
took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the
people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and
be obedient. 2 Chronicles 34:27 — Because thine
heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when
thou heardest his words against this place, and against the
inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend
thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith
the LORD. Isaiah 66:2 — For all those things hath
mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but
to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite
spirit, and trembleth at my word.
(1006)
2 Peter 1:19-21 —
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto
ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy
of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost.
(1007)
Luke 24:45 —
Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures.
2 Corinthians 3:13-16 — And not as Moses, which put
a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not
stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for
until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading
of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses
is read, the veil is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to
the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
(1008)
Deuteronomy 17:10, 20 —
And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which
they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and
thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee...
20 That his heart be not lifted up
above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment,
to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong
his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of
Israel.
(1009)

the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou
readest?... 34
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray
thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some
other man? Luke 10:26-28 — He said unto him, What
is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as
thyself. 28

do, and thou shalt live.

are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book
that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out
upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to
do after all that is written in this book.
(1013)

son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with
thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and
apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest
after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for
hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of
the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD
giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen,

worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground… 8 So
they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the
sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
(1015)
1 Timothy 3:2, 6 —
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one
wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt
to teach... 6
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he
fall into the condemnation of the devil. Ephesians 4:8-11 —Wherefore
he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and
gave gifts unto men. 9
(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also
descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also
that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all
things.) 11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. Hosea 4:6
— My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because
thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy
God, I will also forget thy children. Malachi 2:7 —

the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the
spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the
prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they
say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine
shall those prophets be consumed. Romans 10:15 —
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things! Hebrews 5:4 —
And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is
called of God, as was Aaron. 1 Corinthians 12:28-29 —
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then
gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets?
are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 1 Timothy
3:10 — And let these also first be proved; then let them
use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 1 Timothy
4:14 — Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the
presbytery. 1 Timothy 5:22 — Lay hands suddenly on
no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
(1017)
Titus 2:1, 8 —

words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of
power.
(1022)

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream;
and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is
the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2
— Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of
Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards,

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for
hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
Hebrews 5:12-14 — For when for the time ye ought to
be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the
first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have
need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is
unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them
that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Luke 12:42 —
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise
steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give
them their portion of meat in due season?
(1026)
Acts 18:25 —
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and
being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the
things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
(1027)
2 Corinthians 5:13-14 —
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or
whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth
us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all
dead. Philippians 1:15-17 — Some indeed
preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely,
supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other
of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be
loved.
(1029)
2 Corinthians 2:17 —
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of
God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak
we in Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:2 — But have
renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by
manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's
conscience in the sight of God.
(1030)
1 Thessalonians 2:4-6 —
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust
with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God,
which trieth our hearts. 5
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as
ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither
of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as
the apostles of Christ. John 7:18 — He that
speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his
glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in
him.
(1031)
1 Corinthians 9:19-22 — For
though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto
all, that I might gain the more. 20 And unto the Jews I
became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under
the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the
law; 21 To them that are without law, as without law,
(being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I
might gain them that are without law. 22 To the weak
became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things
to all men, that I might by all means save some.

rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for
this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these
things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will
appear unto thee; 17 Delivering thee from the people, and
from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18 To open
their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the
power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in
me.

mystery of the gospel.

save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the
answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of

believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip,

cried day and night before thee: 2 Let my prayer come
before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; 3 For my soul

I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a
man that hath no strength: 5 Free among the dead, like
the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and
they are cut off from thy hand. 6 Thou hast laid me in
the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 7 Thy wrath
lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves.
Selah. 8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from
me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I
cannot come forth. 9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of
affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched
out my hands unto thee. 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the
dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. 11
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy
faithfulness in destruction? 12 Shall thy wonders be
known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of
forgetfulness? 13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and
in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 14 LORD, why
castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 15
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I
suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 16 Thy fierce wrath
goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 17 They came
round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.

acquaintance into darkness.Psalm 77:1-4,
7-10 — I cried unto God with my
voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

be comforted. 3
I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained,
and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am
so troubled that I cannot speak...
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and
will he be favourable no more? 8
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his
promise fail for evermore? 9

anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity:
but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of
Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will
not be angry with you Nor will I rebuke you. 10 "For the
mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My
lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of
peace will not be shaken," Says the LORD who has compassion on you..

righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the
faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.

disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for
the help of his countenance... 11

thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise
him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that
bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and
drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not
discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are
weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we
would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But
when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not
be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren,
when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34

It is reported commonly that there is fornication
among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the
Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And
ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath
done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For
I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged
already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done
this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when
ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord
Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the
destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of
the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not
that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge
out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto
you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet
not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the
covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs
go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you
not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a
fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard,
or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For
what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye
judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without
God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked
person. Jude 23 —
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the
fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 1

better, but for the worse.... For as often as ye eat this bread, and

cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. 1 Corinthians

4 And did all drink the same spiritual
drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and

them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon
whom the ends of the world are come...

from idolatry.

my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I
have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink
abundantly, O beloved. 2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it
is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my
sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with
dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. 3 I have
put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how
shall I defile them? 4 My beloved put in his hand by the
hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. 5 I
rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and
my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn
himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him,
but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
Ecclesiastes 5:1-6 — Keep thy foot when thou goest
to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the
sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. 2
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty
to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon
earth: therefore let thy words be few. 3 For a dream
cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is
known by multitude of words. 4 When thou vowest a vow
unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay
that which thou hast vowed. 5 Better is it that thou
shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 6
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say
thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be
angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

is the health of my countenance, and my God.
