For¹ he hath said,ª° It profitethª° a manª nothing¹ that he should delightª° himself with¹ God.ª" {Job 34:7-9} + "For¹ thou saidst,ª° What¹ advantageª° will it be unto thee? [and], What¹ profitª° shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?ª¹" {Job 35:3} + "Shadrach,ª Meshach,ª and Abednego,ª answeredª° and saidª° to the king,ª O Nebuchadnezzar,ª weª [are] notª carefulª° to answerª° thee inª thisª matter.ª ... But ifª not,ª be¹ it²° knownª° unto thee, O king,ª that¹ we willª notª serveª° thy gods,ª norª worshipª° the goldenª imageª which¹ thou hast set up.ª°" {Dan 3:16-18} + "Now when¹ Danielª knewª° that¹ the writingª was signed,ª° he wentª° into his house;ª and his windowsª being openª° in his chamberª towardª Jerusalem,ª he¹ kneeledª° uponª his kneesª threeª timesª a day,ª and prayed,ª° and gave thanksª° beforeª his God,ª asªª¹ he didªª°° aforetime.ªªª" {Dan 6:10} + "Yetª hath¹ he²° notª rootª inª himself,ª butª dureth²° for a while:ª¹ forª when tribulationª orª persecutionª arisethª° becauseª of the¹ word,ª by and byª he is offended.ª°" {Mtt 13:21} + "Thenª saidª° Jesusª unto his²¹ disciples,ª If anyª [man] willª° comeª° afterª me,ª let him denyª° himself,ª andª take upª° his²¹ cross,ª andª followª° me.ª" {Mtt 16:24} + "Andª to himª they agreed:ª° andª when they had calledª° the¹ apostles,ª and beatenª° [them], they commandedª° that they should²° notª speakª° inª the¹ nameª of Jesus,ª andª let²° them² go.ª°¹ ...
