I prepare the suitable divine rune...
Romans, Goths,
Pharisees, Gentiles
whom do men say that I am?
The sun, the thunder, the lightning,
the guard, the wind, the serpent,
the glory, the wild beast, the Spirit,
the sacrifice, the message
How is it that ye do not understand?
I am the door of the sheep,
I am the good shepherd;
all that ever came before me
are thieves and robbers;
but the sheep did not hear them.
Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?!
Stand forth,
stretch forth thine hand
It is I; be not afraid!
Hearken! behold,
come out of the man,
thou unclean spirit!
Unto you it is given to know the mistery
of the Kingdom of God!
Why tempt ye me?
Why make ye this ado, and weep?
The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the corner.
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone
shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall,
it will grind him to powder
It is I; be not afraid!
I am the true vine,
I have overcome the world!
Come ye after me, and I will make you
to become the fishers of men
Let not the sun go down upon your wrath,
but we know that the law is good,
if a man use it lawfully;
knowing this, that the law is not made
for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and
disobedient, for the ungodly
and for sinners,
for unholy and profane,
for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers,
for manslayers, whoremongers,
for them that defile themselves with mankind,
for menstealers, for liars.
Why are ye so fearful?
How is it that ye have no faith?
You are from beneath,
I am from above;
ye are of this world,
I am not of this world.
I have overcome the world;
the last enemy that shall be destroyed
is death.
Hosanna, blessed is the King
of Israel that cometh
in the name of the Lord.

Weep not,
I shew you a mistery.
My brethren, rejoice in Lord!
To write the same things to you,
to me indeed is not grievous,
but for you it is
safe.
My brethren, rejoice in Lord!
For we are the circumcision,
which worship God in the spirit
and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
and have no confidence in the flesh,
for we are the circumcision. о
Brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report,
if there be virtue, and if
there be any praise,
think on these things,
brethren.

And the peace of God,
which passeth all
understanding
shall keep your hearts
and minds
through Christ Jesus.
For I know that this
shall turn to my salvation
through your prayer,
and the supply of the Spirit
of Jesus Christ.
And in nothing
I shall be ashamed,
but that with all boldness,
as always, so no also
Christ shall be magnified
in my body,
whether it be
by life or by death.
What then?
Notwithstanding, every way,
whether in pretence,
or in truth,
Christ is preached, yeah,
and I therein
do rejoice,
yeah, and will rejoice.
But let a man examine himself,
and so let him eat of that bread,
and drink of that cup.
For as the body is one,
and hath many members,
and all the members
of that one body,
being many,
are one body:
so also is Christ,
for the body is one.
For by one Spirit
are we all baptized into the body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made
to drink into one Spirit.
For the body is not one member,
but many.
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing?
If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
And the eye cannot say unto
the hand, I have no need of thee:
nor again the head to the feet,
I have no need of you.
And He said unto them, The sower
soweth the Word.

My brethren
dearly beloved
and longed for,
my joy
and crown,
so stand fast,
so stand fast
in Lord.
I can do all things through
Christ who strengtheneth me.
Not because I desire a gift,
but I desire fruit...
Not as though
I had already attained,
either were already perfect,
but I follow after,
if that I may apprehend
that for which also
I am apprehended
of Christ.
Not because I desire a gift,
but I desire fruit...
This is the fruit
of my labour:
yet what I shall choose
I want not,
I want not,
I want not.
But we, brethren,
being taken from you
for a short time in presence,
not in heart,
endeavoured the more
abundancy to see
your face
with great desire.
Wherefore we would have come unto you,
but Satan hindered us.
For ye are
our glory
and joy.
Amen.

Your glorifying in not good.
Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump?
Purge out therefore the old leaven,
that ye may be a new lump,
as ye are unleavened.
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.
Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called,
therein abide with God.
For all unto Moses
were baptized,
in the cloud
and in the sea,
ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord
and the cup of devils:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table
and the table of devils.

Verily I say unto you, all sins shall be
forgiven unto the sons of men,
and blasphemies wherewith soever
they shall blaspheme.
But he that shall blaspheme against
the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in danger
of eternal damnation.
Grace, mercy, and peace
from God our Father and Jesus Christ
our Lord.
How onto the King eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only one wise God,
the wise God, be honour and glory,
be glory for ever and ever, forever Amen.

O wretched man that I am!
Who shall deliver me
from the body
of this
death?
As it is written,
for the sake we are killed
all the day long; we are accounted
as sheep for
the slaughter.
Who shall descend into the deep?
Who shall ascend into heaven?
In the last days
perilous
times
shall come.
The voice of one crying
in the wilderness...
that I have great
heaviness
and sorrow
in my heart.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful,
unholy,
traitors, heady,
highminded,
lovers
of pleasures.
The voice of one crying
in the wilderness...

Amen, amen, I say unto you,
that ye shall weep and lament,
but world shall rejoice: and ye
shall be sorrowful, but
your sorrow
shall be turned into joy.
And in that day
ye shall ask me nothing. Amen, amen,
whatsoever ye shall ask
the Father in my name,
he will give it you.
In that day
ye shall ask me nothing.
And ye now therefore have sorrow:
but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice,
and your joy
no man taketh from you.
Ask, and ye shall receive,
that your joy may be full.
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded,
having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind.
Look not every man on his own things,
but every man also
on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ Jesus,
who being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery
to be equal with God.
Let love be
without dissimulation,
not slothful in business;
fervent in Spirit;
rejoicing in hope;
patient in tribulation,
continuing instant in prayer.
Because they said, he hath
an unclean
spirit.
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them,
They that are whole have no need of the physician,
but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repetance.
And when He had looked around about on them with anger,
being grieved for the hardness of their hearts,
He saith unto the man,
Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched it out,
and his hand was restored whole as the other.
And a great multitude from Galilee
followed Him,
аnd from Judaea,
and from Jerusalem,
and from Idumaea,
and from beyond Jordan,
and they about Tyre
and Sidon,
a great multitude, when they heard
what great things He did,
came unto Him.
And he called them unto Him,
and said unto them in parables:
how can Satan
cast out Satan?
And unclean spirits,
when they saw Him,
fell down before Him,
and cried, saying,
Thou art
the Son
of God.
Prepare ye
the way of the Lord,
make His paths
straight. Amen.

When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm,
hath a tongue, hath a revelation,
hath an interpretation; let all things be done unto edifying.
For we being many are one bread, and one body:
for we are all partakers of that one bread
and that one drink.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in humility
and worshipping of Angels, intruding into those things
which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.
Touch not; taste not; handle not.
And every man that striveth for the mastery
is temperate in all things; now they do it to obtain
a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the Saints
in light. Amen.
Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom
of his Son, of his dear Son. Amen.
To whom we have redemption through His blood,
even the forgiveness of sins.
Who is the image of God,
the image of the God,
the God invisible,
the firstborn of all,
of every creature.
And He is before all things,
and by Him all things consist.
For by Him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by Him,
and for Him.
Let Your light shine
before the men,
that they may see
Your good works, and glorify
Your Father
which is in heaven.
Our Father who is in heaven,
the Kingdom come,
and forgive us
our debts,
as we forgive
our debtors
their debts.
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that He will send forth labourers
into His harvest.
And all the brethren which are with me,
grace be to you
and peace from God Father,
and from our Lord
Jesus Christ.
To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

A sower went out to sow
his seed:
and as he sowed,
some fell by the way side;
and it was trodden down,
and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Now the parable is this:
the seed is the word of God,
those by
the way side
are that hear;
then cometh
the devil,
and taketh away
the word out of their hearts,
lest they should believe
and be saved.
Where is your faith?
But he that heareth, and does not,
is like a man that built an house
without a foundation upon the earth,
against which the stream did beat vehemently, and it fell,
and the ruin of that house was great.
Leave there thy gift before the altar,
and go thy way.
And if the right hand
offends thee, cut it off.
But let your communication be,
yea, yea; nay, nay;
for whatsoever is more than these
cometh of evil.
For if ye love them
which love you,
what reward have ye?
Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect.
But when ye pray,
use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do:
for they think that
they shall be heard
for their much speaking.
Which of you by taking thought
can add one cubit unto his stature?
Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow;
they toil not,
neither do they spin.
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?
Are we stronger than he?
There is none who undesrstands or seeks God.
All turned aside;
together they have become
useless, and
fallen under the judgement
of death.
O generation of vipers,
who has warned you to flee
the wrath to come?
For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it.
For whosoever exalteth himself,
shall be abased.
Take heed,
beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees,
and of the leaven of Herod.
Arise, take nothing for your journey,
neither staves, nor scrip,
neither bread, neither money;
neither have two coats apiece.
Carry neither purse,
nor scrip,
nor shoes.
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of?
Behold, I give unto you power
to tread on serpents and scorpions,
an over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means
hurt you.
Come, for all things are now ready.
And without controversy, great is
the mistery of godliness: God was manifest
in the flesh, justified
in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world,
received up into glory.
Come, for all things are now ready.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,

pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed by thy name,
the Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
as in heaven
so on earth;
give us this day our daily bread
аnd forgive us guilty as we are,
as we also forgive our debtors,
also do not bring us into temptation,
but free us from this evil. Amen.
All things are flawful for me,
but all things are not expedient:
all things are lawful for me,
but all things edify not.
Whether therfore ye eat
or drink,
or whatsoever ye do,
do all
to the glory of God.
For perhaps He therefore departed
for a season, that thou shouldest receive Him for ever,
Yea, brother, let me have joy,
let me have joy in the Lord:
refresh my bowels in Christ.
Greet all the brethren with an Holy kiss

For I have received of the Lord
that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus
the same night in which he was betrayed took bread
аnd 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.
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 you drink it,
in remembrance of me.
For as often as
ye eat this bread,
and drink this cup,
ye do shew
the Lord's death
till He come:
this do
in remembrance of Me.

Behold, this is the Lamb of God,
who takes away
the sin of the world;
who comes from above
is above all.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless a man be born from above,
he cannot behold
the Kingdom of God.
For this cause we also, since the day
we heard it, do not cease to pray
for you, that ye might walk
worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
strengthened with all might,
according to his glorious power, unto all patience
and longsuffering with joyfulness,
giving thanks unto the Father, in whom we have
redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins,
who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn
of every creature.
And he is the head of the body,
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have preeminence.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat,
or in drink, or in respect of a Holy day,
or of the new moon,
or of the sabbath days, which are a shadow
of things to come.
Let no man deceive you with vain words,
for ye were sometimes darkness, but now ye are light
of the Lord: walk as children of light.
Walk as children of light, speaking
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody
in your heart to the Lord.
Finally, my brethren,
put on the whole armour of God,
for we wrestle not against
flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers, against rulers of the darkness
of this world,
against spiritual wickedness
in high places.
Put on the whole armour,
walk as children of light.

Depart from me,
ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared
for the devil and his angels.
Because strait is the gate
and narrow is the way which leadeth
unto life, and few there be
that find it.
There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, be not afraid,
your time
is always ready.
Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you:
for he that walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither he goeth.
If ye know these things,
happy are you
if ye do them,
happy are ye
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
And this mortal must put on immortality;
death is swallowed up in victory.
Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
The salutation of me with mine own hand.
In distresses, in necessities,
in afflictions, in much patience,
in stripes, in imprisonments,
in tumults, in labours,
in watchings, in fastings,
by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left,
by love unfeigned,
by honour and dishonour,
as deceivers, and yet true,
as chastened, and not killed,
greet you one another
with an Holy kiss.
Our mouth is open unto you,
our heart is enlarged,
be ye also enlarged;
for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Know ye not this parable?

ZGA Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation
The experimental Russian band ZGA was founded in 1984. The leader of the band Nick Sudnick explores the limits of sound using the elements of noise, industrial, avant-rock, traditional and classical music.
