(1 Corinthians 9:1–18)
1
The Priests of the Leuites, and all the tribe of Leui shall haue no part nor inheritace with Israel, but shall eate the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance.
2
Therefore shall they haue no inheritance among their brethren: for the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath sayd vnto them.
3
And this shalbe the Priests duetie of the people, that they, which offer sacrifice, whether it be bullocke or sheepe, shall giue vnto the Priest the shoulder, and the two cheekes, and the mawe.
4
The first fruites also of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first of the fleece of thy sheepe shalt thou giue him.
5
For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stande and minister in the Name of the Lord, him, and his sonnes for euer.
6
Also when a Leuite shall come out of any of thy cities of all Israel, where hee remained, and come with all the desire of his heart vnto the place, which the Lord shall chuse,
7
He shall then minister in the Name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Leuites, which remaine there before the Lord.
8
They shall haue like portions to eat beside that which commeth of his sale of his patrimonie.

(Acts 8:9–25)
9
When thou shalt come into ye land which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt not learne to do after ye abominations of those nations.
10
Let none be founde among you that maketh his sonne or his daughter to goe thorough the fire, or that vseth witchcraft, or a regarder of times, or a marker of the flying of foules, or a sorcerer,
11
Or a charmer, or that counselleth with spirits, or a soothsaier, or that asketh counsel at ye dead.
12
For all that doe such things are abomination vnto the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doeth cast them out before thee.
13
Thou shalt be vpright therefore with the Lord thy God.
14
For these nations which thou shalt possesse, hearken vnto those that regarde the times, and vnto sorcerers: as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffred thee so.

A Prophet Like Moses

(Acts 3:11–26)
15
The Lord thy God will raise vp vnto thee a Prophet like vnto me, from among you, euen of thy brethren: vnto him ye shall hearken,
16
According to al that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, in the day of the assemblie, when thou saidest, Let me heare the voice of my Lord God no more, nor see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17
And the Lord sayde vnto me, They haue well spoken.
18
I will raise them vp a Prophet from among their brethren like vnto thee, and will put my woordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaund him.
19
And whosoeuer will not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my Name, I will require it of him.
20
But the prophet that shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not commanded him to speake, or that speaketh in the name of other gods, euen the same prophet shall die.
21
And if thou thinke in thine heart, Howe shall we knowe the worde which the Lord hath not spoken?
22
When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing follow not nor come to passe, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not therefore be afraid of him.
(1 Corinthians 9:1–18)
1
The priests and the Levitesall the tribe of Levishall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire and his portion.
2
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3
This shall be the priestsdue from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4
You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
5
For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the LORD’s name, him and his sons forever.
6
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which the LORD shall choose,
7
then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.
8
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.

Sorcery Forbidden

(Acts 8:9–25)
9
When you have come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10
There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11
or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12
For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. Because of these abominations, the LORD your God drives them out from before you.
13
You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.
14
For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.

A Prophet Like Moses

(Acts 3:11–26)
15
The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16
This is according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the LORD my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17
The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19
It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20
But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
21
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”
22
When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
