worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired
servants. 20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he

sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22. But the

again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

LOVE OF MAN FOR JESUS
1 John 4:12. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his
love is perfected in us. 16. We have known and believed the love

because as he is, so are we in this world. 18. There is no fear

torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19. We love
him, because he first loved us. 20. If a man say, I love God, and

stranger, and ye took me in: 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw
we thee an hungred, and fed thee ? or thirsty, and gave thee
drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee? 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in
