gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors 
of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 
32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things 
deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice 
them.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 10

1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, 
following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the 
air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom 
we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the
body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of 
mankind.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth 
comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation 
waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the 
creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who 
subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its 
bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of 
God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the 
pains of childbirth until now.

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

brotherhood throughout the world.

twelve. 4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he 
might betray him to them.

have life and have it abundantly."

The Book of John, chapter 10

7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he 
also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap 
corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap 
eternal life.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 6

17		"Like keepers of a field are they against her all around,

			have brought this upon you.
		This is your doom, and it is bitter;
			it has reached your very heart."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 4

4		How long will the land mourn
			and the grass of every field wither?
		For the evil of those who dwell in it
			the beasts and the birds are swept away,
			because they said, "He will not see our latter end."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 12

11 "Now, therefore, say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:

plan against you. Return, every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and 
your deeds.'

12 "But they say, 'That is in vain! We will follow our own plans, and will every 
one act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.'

13		"Therefore thus says the LORD:
		Ask among the nations,
			Who has heard the like of this?
		The virgin Israel
			has done a very horrible thing."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 18

27 "The king mourns, the prince is wrapped in despair, and the hands of the 
people of the land are paralyzed by terror. According to their way I will do to 
them, and according to their judgments I will judge them, and they shall know 
that I am the LORD."

The Book of Ezekiel, chapter 7

1 Then Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel. 2 So 
David said to Joab and the commanders of the army, "Go, number Israel, from 
Beersheba to Dan, and bring me a report, that I may know their number." 3 But 
Joab said, "May the LORD add to his people a hundred times as many as they are! 
Are they not, my lord the king, all of them my lord's servants? Why then should 
my lord require this? Why should it be a cause of guilt for Israel?"

The First Book of Chronicles, chapter 21

1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 
2 and with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds 
and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter 
said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and 
to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained 
unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your 
disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have 
not lied to man but to God."

The Book of Acts, chapter 5

7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of 
the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to 
harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the 
Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is 
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will 
boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may 
rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, 
insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am 
strong.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 12

33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the 
world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

The Book of John, chapter 16

10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, 
there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was 
bent over and could not fully straighten herself. 12 When Jesus saw her, he 
called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your disability." 
13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she 
glorified God.

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 13

3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering 
produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces 
hope…

The Book of Romans, chapter 5

5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

		"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
			nor be weary when reproved by him.
6		For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
			and chastises every son whom he receives."

7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. 
For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 12

9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were 
grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no 
loss through us.

10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, 
whereas worldly grief produces death.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 7

12 "Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 29

16 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may 
receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 4

28 And we know that for those who love God, He works all things together for 
good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he 
foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order 
that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

10		"Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
			I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 48

9		"Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
			a pot among earthen pots!
		Does the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?'
			or 'Your work has no handles'?"

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 45

8		Bless our God, O peoples;
			let the sound of his praise be heard,
9		who has kept our soul among the living
			and has not let our feet slip.
10		For you, O God, have tested us;
			you have tried us as silver is tried.
11		You brought us into the net;
			you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
12		you let men ride over our heads;
			we went through fire and through water;
		yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

The 66th Psalm

9		"And I will put this third into the fire,

		I will say, 'They are my people';
			and they will say, 'The LORD is my God.'"

The Book of Zechariah, chapter 13

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his 
great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the 
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is 
imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's 
power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in 
the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if 
necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested 
genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is 
tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the 
revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. 
Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is 
inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the 
salvation of your souls.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 1

2 Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you meet trials of various 
kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 
4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and 
complete, lacking in nothing.

The Epistle of James, chapter 1

20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of 
affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall

is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the 
left.

			Are they not in your book?

			or be weary of his reproof,
12		for the LORD reproves him whom he loves,
			as a father the son in whom he delights.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 3

13		You who are of purer eyes than to see evil
			and cannot look at wrong,
		why do you idly look at traitors
			and remain silent when the wicked swallows up
			the man more righteous than he?

The Book of Habakkuk, chapter 1

8		"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
			neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

			so are my ways higher than your ways
			and my thoughts than your thoughts."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 55

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 10

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the 
proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he 
cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls 
around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in 
your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by 
your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little 
while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, 
will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 5

18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those 
who are being tempted.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 2

16		Come and hear, all you who fear God,
			and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
17		I cried to him with my mouth,
			and high praise was on my tongue.
18		If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
			the LORD would not have listened.
19		But truly God has listened;
			he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20		Blessed be God,
			because he has not rejected my prayer
			or removed his steadfast love from me!

The 66th Psalm

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 
5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful 
and does not count up wrongdoing; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but 
rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes 
all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they 
will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 13

9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, 
You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are 
summed up in this word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love 
does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

13 "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his 
friends."

The Book of John, chapter 15

in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son 
into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved 
through him.

The Book of John, chapter 3

3			The LORD appeared to me from far away.
		"I have loved you with an everlasting love;
			therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 31

7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good 
person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that 
while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The Book of Romans, chapter 5

24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the 
other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve 
God and money or possessions."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6

36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, 
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul 
and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a 
second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two 
commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 22

16		There are six things that the LORD hates,
			seven that are an abomination to him:
17		haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
			and hands that shed innocent blood,
18		a heart that devises wicked plans,
			feet that make haste to run to evil,
19		a false witness who breathes out lies,
			and one who sows discord among brothers.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 6

20 "Whoever sacrifices to any god, other than the LORD alone, shall be devoted 
to destruction.

the land of Egypt. 22 You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. 
23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their 
cry…"

The Book of Exodus, chapter 22

31 You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way, for every abominable 
thing that the LORD hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn 
their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

The Book of Numbers, chapter 12

23 "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will 
worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people 
to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in 
spirit and truth."

The Book of John, chapter 4

42 "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would 
be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were 
thrown into the sea."

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 9

11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers and sisters. The one who 
speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and 
judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a 
judge.

The Epistle of James, chapter 4

19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall 
not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the 
cause of the righteous.

The Book of Numbers, chapter 16

18 "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a 
person. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual 
immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person. 
But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 15

1 Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also 
have a Master in heaven.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 4

18 For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the 
grain," and, "The laborer deserves his wages."

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 5

22 Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by 
way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing 
the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men…

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 3

5 Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a 
sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not by the way of eye-service, as 
people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the 
heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 
8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the 
Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free. 9 Masters, do the same to them, 
and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours 
is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 6

13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to 
the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who 
do evil and to praise those who do good.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 2

13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap 
him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you 
are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For you are not swayed by 
appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to 
Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?" 15 But, knowing their 
hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and 
let me look at it." 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose 
likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's." 17 Jesus said 
to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things 
that are God's." And they marveled at him.

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 12

19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey 
your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not 
provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 3

21 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder; and 
whoever murders will be liable to judgment.' 22 But I say to you that everyone 
who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his 
brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool!' will be 
liable to the hell of fire."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5

12 "Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death."

The Book of Exodus, chapter 21

8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and 
obscene talk from your mouth.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 3

1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be 
ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to 
be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.

The Epistle to Titus, chapter 3

13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and 
not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 5

27		A worthless man plots evil,
			and his speech is like a scorching fire.
28		A dishonest man spreads strife,
			and a whisperer separates close friends.
29		A man of violence entices his neighbor
			and leads him in a way that is not good.
30		Whoever winks his eyes to plan dishonest things;
			he who purses his lips brings evil to pass.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 16

27 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I 
say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already 
committed adultery with her in his heart."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, 
sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, 
rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, murder, drunkenness, orgies, and 
things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such 
things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 5

18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the 
body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 6

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 
Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor 
adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, 
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 6

20 "And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor's wife and so make 
yourself unclean with her."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 18

22 "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 And 
you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither 
shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 18

16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body 
with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh."

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 6

4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is 
lawlessness.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 3

8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding 
this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and 
disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those 
who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 the sexually immoral, 
men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else 
is contrary to healthy doctrine…

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 1

5 "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's 
cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God."

The Book of Numbers, chapter 22

31 "Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make 
yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 19

9 "When you come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall 
not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There shall 
not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, 
anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a 
sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of 
the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. And 
because of these abominations the LORD your God is driving them out before you. 
13 You shall be blameless before the LORD your God, 14 for these nations, which 
you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as 
for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you to do this."

The Book of Numbers, chapter 18

26 "You shall not eat any flesh with the blood in it. You shall not interpret 
omens or tell fortunes."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 19

6 "If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will 
set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. 
7 Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. 
8 Keep my statutes and do them; I am the LORD who sanctifies you."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 20

27 "A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to 
death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 20

18 "You shall not permit a sorceress to live."

The Book of Exodus, chapter 22

1 "If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or 
a wonder, 2 and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he 
says, 'Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve 
them,' 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of 
dreams. For the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD 
your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall walk after the 
LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and 
you shall serve him and hold fast to him. 5 But that prophet or that dreamer of 
dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the LORD 
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the 
house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the LORD your God 
commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from your midst."

The Book of Numbers, chapter 13

1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of 
difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, 
arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving 
good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather 
than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its 
power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households 
and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 
7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

The Second Epistle to Timothy, chapter 3

14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 
15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is 
fully grown brings forth death.

The Epistle of James, chapter 1

15 "Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.

16 "Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, 
shall be put to death.

17 "Whoever curses his father or his mother shall be put to death.

18 "When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and 
the man does not die but takes to his bed, 19 then if the man rises again and 
walks outdoors with his staff, he who struck him shall be clear; only he shall 
pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him thoroughly healed."

The Book of Exodus, chapter 21

29 "Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, lest the land fall 
into prostitution and the land become full of depravity."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 19

17 "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the 
sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute."

The Book of Numbers, chapter 23

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the 
kingdom of heaven?" 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of 
them 3 and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like 
children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself 
like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6 but whoever causes 
one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him 
to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the 
depth of the sea."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 18

8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall 
love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well. 9 But if you show 
partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as 
transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has 
become accountable for all of it. 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," 
also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you 
have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are 
to be judged under the law of liberty.

The Epistle of James, chapter 2

17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

The Epistle of James, chapter 4

35		'Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,
			for the time when their foot shall slip;
		for the day of their calamity is at hand,
			and their doom comes swiftly.'

The Book of Numbers, chapter 32

22		Do not say, "I will repay evil";
			wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 20

21		They band together against the life of the righteous
			and condemn the innocent to death.
22		But the LORD has become my stronghold,
			and my God the rock of my refuge.
23		He will bring back on them their iniquity
			and wipe them out for their wickedness;
			the LORD our God will wipe them out.

The 94th Psalm

17 I said in my heart, "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, for there 
is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against 
us?

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with 
those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one 
another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your 
own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is 
honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, 
live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to 
the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the 
LORD." 20 To the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is 
thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning 
coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The Book of Romans, chapter 12

5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered 
worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed 
God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to 
grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is 
revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire, inflicting 
vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel 
of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, 
away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 when he 
comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among 
all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 1

26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and 
give no opportunity to the devil.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 4

2 He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor 
respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and 
saying, 'Give me justice against my adversary.' 4 For a while he refused, but 
afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet 
because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she 
will not beat me down by her continual coming.'" 6 And the Lord said, "Hear 
what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God give justice to his elect, 
who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he 
will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, 
will he find faith on earth?"

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 18

15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be 
that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him." 
16 So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command 
before he died: 17 'Say to Joseph, "Please forgive the transgression of your 
brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you."' And now, please forgive 
the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when 
they spoke to him. 18 His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, 
"Behold, we are your servants." 19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not fear, for 
am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God 
meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as 
they are today. 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little 
ones." Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

The Book of Genesis, chapter 50

2		All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
			but the LORD weighs the spirit.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 16

2		Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
			but the LORD weighs the heart.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 21

4		The LORD is in his holy temple;
			the LORD's throne is in heaven;
			his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.

The 11th Psalm

20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 7

14		What is man, that he should be pure,
			Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15		Behold, God puts no trust in His holy ones,
			and the heavens are not pure in His sight;
16		How much less one who is detestable and corrupt,
			man, who drinks iniquity like water!

The Book of Job, chapter 15

19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God 
alone."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 18

9		Who can say, "I have made my heart pure;
			I am clean from my sin"?

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 20

9		For there is no truth in their mouth;
			their inmost self is destruction;
		their throat is an open grave;
			they flatter with their tongue.

The 5th Psalm

3		Do not drag me off with the wicked,
			with the workers of evil,
		who speak peace with their neighbors
			while evil is in their hearts.

The 28th Psalm

2		Enter not into judgment with your servant,
			for no one living is righteous before you.

The 143th Psalm

2		The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man,
			to see if there are any who understand,
			who seek after God.

3		They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;
			there is none who does good,
			not even one.

The 14th Psalm

17 And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one 
who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 19

29 See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out 
many schemes.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 7

1		Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,
			or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;
2		but your iniquities have made a separation
			between you and your God,
		and your sins have hidden his face from you
			so that he does not hear.
3		For your hands are defiled with blood
			and your fingers with iniquity;
		your lips have spoken lies;
			your tongue mutters wickedness.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 59

12		There is a way that seems right to a man,
			but its end is the way to death.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 14

12		There are those who are clean in their own eyes
			but are not washed of their filth.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 30

6		We have all become like one who is unclean,
			and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
		We all fade like a leaf,
			and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 64

4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he 
saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to 
his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit…

The Epistle to Titus, chapter 3

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own 
doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace 
would no longer be grace.

The Book of Romans, chapter 11

27 "Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to 
eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father 
has set his seal." 28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the 
works of God?" 29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you 
believe in him whom he has sent."

The Book of John, chapter 6

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law,

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes 
to the Father except through me."

The Book of John, chapter 14

8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to 
preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to 
light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who 
created all things, 10 so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God 
might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 
11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ 
Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through 
our faith in him.

LORD.

of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at 
hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 1

15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, 
and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit 
of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows 
him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while 
and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you 
also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in 
me, and I in you."

The Book of John, chapter 14

7 "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, 
for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will 
send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin 
and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe 
in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will 
see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is 
judged."

The Book of John, chapter 16

39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to 
receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet 
glorified.

The Book of John, chapter 7

2 "In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told

also."

The Book of John, chapter 14

31 "And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine 
twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it. 32 And 
you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of 
gold, on four bases of silver. 33 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, 
and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall 
separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy."

The Book of Exodus, chapter 26

6 These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the 
first section, performing their ritual duties, 7 but into the second only the 
high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which 
he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8 By this 
the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened 
as long as the first section is still standing 9 (which is symbolic for the 
present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered 
that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with food 
and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time 
of reformation.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 9

51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. 
And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 27

44 It was now about the sixth hour (that is, noon), and there was darkness over 
the whole land until the ninth hour (that is, 3pm), 45 while the sun's light 
failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling 
out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And 
having said this he breathed his last. 47 Now when the centurion saw what had 
taken place, he praised God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 23

18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy 
places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for 
us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a 
great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in 
full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil 
conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 10

22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by 
God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your 
midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the 
definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands 
of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it 
was not possible for him to be held by it."

The Book of Acts, chapter 2

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, will you at this time 
restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know 
times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will 
receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my 
witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the 
earth." 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was 
lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

The Book of Acts, chapter 1

16 Do you not know that you all are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in 
you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple 
is holy, and you all are that temple.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 3

27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 12

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the 
body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we 
were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were 
made to drink of one Spirit.

14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 12

16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the 
living God; as God said,

		"I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
			and I will be their God,
			and they shall be my people.
17		Therefore go out from their midst,
			and be separate from them, says the Lord,
		and touch no unclean thing;
			then I will welcome you,
18		and I will be a father to you,
			and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
		says the Lord Almighty."

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 6

15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him 
who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held 
together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working 
properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 4

24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and 
earth, does not live in temples made by man, 25 nor is he served by human 
hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life 
and breath and everything.

The Book of Acts, chapter 17

8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit 
of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not 
belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of 
sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who 
raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the 
dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in 
you.

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

7		"Let us rejoice and exult
			and give him the glory,
		for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
			and his Bride has made herself ready;
8		it was granted her to clothe herself
			with fine linen, bright and pure"—

for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

9 And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to 
the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words 
of God."

The Revelation, chapter 19

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first 
earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new 
Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for 
her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the 
dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be 
his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away 
every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be 
mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

The Revelation, chapter 21

35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the 
power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born of 
you will be called holy—the Son of God."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 1

17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he 
might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make 
propitiation for the sins of the people.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 2

35 And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their 
synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease 
and every affliction.

23 …for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…

The Book of Romans, chapter 3

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in 
Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Book of Romans, chapter 6

8 …but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ 
died for us.

The Book of Romans, chapter 5

10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his 
Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 4

2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the 
sins of the whole world.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 2

3 "Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month 
every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a 
household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his 
nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to 
what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be 
without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the 
goats…"

The Book of Exodus, chapter 12

21 "And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill 
a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted 
it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 22

19 …but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish 
or spot.

11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on 
the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes 
atonement by the life."

27 "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this 
hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour."

The Book of John, chapter 12

45 "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many."

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 10

13 "No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son 
of Man. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the 
Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."

The Book of John, chapter 3

8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the 
point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him 
and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name 
of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the 
Father.

The Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 2

14 …by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal 
demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 2

18 Therefore, as the trespass of one led to condemnation for all men, so the act 
of righteousness of one leads to justification and life for all men.    

The Book of Romans, chapter 5

3 Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his 
mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the 
elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." They said, 
"What is that to us? See to it yourself."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 27

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our 
weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet 
without sin.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 4

21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might 
become the righteousness of God.

24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible 
for him to be held by it.

The Book of Acts, chapter 2

44 Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was 
still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the 
Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." 45 Then he opened their minds to 
understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the 
Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that 
repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all 
nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 24

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand 
on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I 
died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and 
Hades."

The Revelation, chapter 1

9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we 
be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were 
reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are 
reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice 
in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received 
reconciliation.

The Book of Romans, chapter 5

3 "And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus 
Christ whom you have sent."

The Book of John, chapter 17

21 "For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives 
life to whom he will. 22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment 
to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. 
Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent 
me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death 
to life."

The Book of John, chapter 5

8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" 
(that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with 
your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him 
from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is 
justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture 
says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

The Book of Romans, chapter 10

40 "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and 
believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last 
day."

The Book of John, chapter 6

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own 
doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives 
grace to the humble."

The Epistle of James, chapter 4

11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in 
his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God 
does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of 
the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 5

5		Into your hand I commit my spirit;
			you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.

The 31th Psalm

23		Search me, O God, and know my heart!
			Try me and know my thoughts!
24		And see if there be any grievous way in me,
			and lead me in the way everlasting!

The 139th Psalm

6 And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.

The Book of Genesis, chapter 15

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation 
to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it 
the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, 
"The righteous shall live by faith."

The Book of Romans, chapter 1

37 For,

		"Yet a little while,
			and the coming one will come and will not delay;
38		but my righteous one shall live by faith,
			and if he shrinks back,
		my soul has no pleasure in him."

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 10

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you 
are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set 
you free."

The Book of John, chapter 8

1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one 
who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2 a 
minister in the holy places, in the true tabernacle that the Lord set up, not 
man.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 8

14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, 
Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 4

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man 
Christ Jesus…

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 2

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not 
receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the 
Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16 The Spirit 
himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if 
children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we 
suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do 
with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 4

12		…as far as the east is from the west,
			so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

The 103th Psalm

8		Do not remember against us our former iniquities;
			let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
			for we are brought very low.
9		Help us, O God of our salvation,
			for the glory of your name;
		deliver us, and atone for our sins,
			for your name's sake!

The 79th Psalm

18		Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
			and passing over transgression
			for the remnant of his inheritance?
		He does not retain his anger forever,
			because he delights in steadfast love.
19		He will again have compassion on us;
			he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
		You will cast all our sins
			into the depths of the sea.

The Book of Micah, chapter 7

22		"I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud
			and your sins like mist;
		return to me, for I have redeemed you."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 44

30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, 
righteousness and sanctification and redemption…

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 1

7		Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
			according to your steadfast love remember me,
			for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!

The 25th Psalm

25		"I, I am he
			who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
			and I will not remember your sins."

7		"Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
			instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
		therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
			they shall have everlasting joy."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 61

11		For your name's sake, O LORD,
			pardon my guilt, for it is great.

The 25th Psalm

1		In you, O LORD, do I take refuge;
			let me never be put to shame;
			in your righteousness deliver me!

The 31th Psalm

12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on 
to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do 
not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what 
lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the 
goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

The Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 3

10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please 
man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 1

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed 
away; behold, the new has come.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 5

10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his 
Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

The Book of Romans, chapter 5

38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things 
present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything 
else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in 
Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 49

7		Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
			be gracious to me and answer me!
8		You have said, "Seek my face."
		My heart says to you,
			"Your face, LORD, do I seek."
9			Hide not your face from me.
		Turn not your servant away in anger,
			O you who have been my help.
		Cast me not off; forsake me not,
			O God of my salvation!
10		For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
			but the LORD will take me in.

The 27th Psalm

17		"Therefore go out from their midst,
			and be separate from them, says the Lord,

			and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
		says the Lord Almighty."

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 6

1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every 
defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of 
God.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 7

1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called 
children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is 
that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we 
will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like 
him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him 
purifies himself as he is pure.

The Revelation, chapter 3

44 "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will 
raise him up on the last day."

The Book of John, chapter 6

4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, 
not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

The Book of Romans, chapter 2

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family 
in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory 
he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner 
being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being 
rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the 
saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the 
love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the 
fullness of God.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 3

27 "All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the 
Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to 
whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy 
laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, 
for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 11

10		"…fear not, for I am with you;
			be not dismayed, for I am your God;
		I will strengthen you, I will help you,
			I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 41

29 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the 
ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all 
numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 
32 So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my 
Father who is in heaven, 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny 
before my Father who is in heaven."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 10

10		In God, whose word I praise,
			in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11		in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
			What can man do to me?

The 56th Psalm

6 He will render to each one according to his works…

The Book of Romans, chapter 2

36 "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every 
careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by 
your words you will be condemned."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 12

1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as 
the Italian Cohort, 2 a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave 
alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. 3 About the ninth 
hour of the day (that is, 3pm) he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come 
in and say to him, "Cornelius." 4 And he stared at him in terror and said, 
"What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have 
ascended as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one 
Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose 
house is by the sea." 7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called 
two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him, 
8 and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

The Book of Acts, chapter 10

9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For 
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may 
receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 5

11 "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds 
of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your 
reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before 
you."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 5

6 …not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of 
Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good 
will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, 
this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 6

10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I 
laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care 
how he builds upon it. 11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which 
is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with 
gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become 
manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, 
and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that 
anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If 
anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be 
saved, but only as through fire.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 3

25		There is a way that seems right to a man,
			but its end is the way to death.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 16

5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed 
there are many "gods" and many "lords"— 6 yet for us there is one God, the 
Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus 
Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 8

5		For I know that the LORD is great,
			and that our Lord is above all gods.

The 135th Psalm

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the 
grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is 
another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel 
of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a 
gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we 
have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel 
contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 1

14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 11

3		Put not your trust in princes,
			in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4		When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
			on that very day his plans perish.

The 146th Psalm

3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common 
salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the 
faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have 
crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly 
people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only 
Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who 
saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not 
believe.

The Epistle of Jude, chapter 1

35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no 
other besides him.

The Book of Numbers, chapter 4

13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that 
leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is 
narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 7

18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has 
been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing 
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with 
you always, to the end of the age."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28

1 Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your 
father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a 
great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will 
be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I 
will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

The Book of Genesis, chapter 12

23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until 
the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until 
Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that 
faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you 
are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into 
Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither 
slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ 
Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs 
according to promise.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 3

1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and 
thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high 
positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in 
every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 
4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 
5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man 
Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony 
given at the proper time.

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 2

13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves 
or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 12

26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of 
the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their 
dwelling place, 27 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward 
him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us…

The Book of Acts, chapter 17

11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to 
shame." 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord 
is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For "everyone 
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

The Book of Romans, chapter 10

29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of 
Gentiles also, 30 since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith 
and the uncircumcised through faith.

The Book of Romans, chapter 3

9 "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and 
out and find pasture."

The Book of John, chapter 10

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For 
by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, 
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created 
through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things 
hold together.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 1

3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, 
and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification 
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 1

1		O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
2		You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
			you discern my thoughts from afar.
3		You search out my path and my lying down
			and are acquainted with all my ways.
4		Even before a word is on my tongue,
			behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5		You hem me in, behind and before,
			and lay your hand upon me.
6		Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
			it is high; I cannot attain it.

The 139th Psalm

26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of 
the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their 
dwelling place…

The Book of Acts, chapter 17

16		Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
		in your book were written, every one of them,
			the days that were formed for me,
			when as yet there was none of them.

The 139th Psalm

20 Daniel answered and said:

		"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
			to whom belong wisdom and might.
21		He changes times and seasons;
			he removes kings and sets up kings;
		he gives wisdom to the wise
			and knowledge to those who have understanding;
22		he reveals deep and hidden things;
			he knows what is in the darkness,
			and the light dwells with him.

The Book of Daniel, chapter 2

13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that in 
the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if 
you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews 
from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows 
whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" 15 Then 
Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 "Go, gather all the Jews to be found 
in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, 
night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to 
the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish." 17 Mordecai 
then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

The Book of Esther, chapter 4

8		"Remember this and stand firm,
			recall it to mind, you transgressors,
9			remember the former things of old;
		for I am God, and there is no other;
			I am God, and there is none like me,
10		declaring the end from the beginning
			and from ancient times things not yet done,
		saying, 'My counsel shall stand,
			and I will accomplish all my purpose,'
11		calling a bird of prey from the east,
			the man of my counsel from a far country.
		I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
			I have purposed, and I will do it."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 46

11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans for welfare 
and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 29

29 Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is 
like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of 
man. 30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people 
everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the 
world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given 
assurance to all by raising him from the dead."

The Book of Acts, chapter 17

5		"Fear not, for I am with you;
			I will bring your offspring from the east,
			and from the west I will gather you.
6		I will say to the north, Give up,
			and to the south, Do not withhold;
		bring my sons from afar
			and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7		everyone who is called by my name,
			whom I created for my glory,
			whom I formed and made."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 43

10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may 
have life and have it abundantly."

The Book of John, chapter 10

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, 
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there 
is no law.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 5

28 And we know that for those who love God, He works all things together for 
good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he 
foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order 
that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were 
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his 
disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore 
pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his 
harvest."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 9

20 "But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and 
accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."

29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom 
he has sent."

The Book of John, chapter 6

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God 
prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him 
who sent me."

The Book of John, chapter 6

12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works 
that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the 
Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be 
glorified in the Son."

The Book of John, chapter 14

1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to 
present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is 
your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed 
by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the good 
and acceptable and perfect will of God.

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of 
himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, 
each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one 
body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, 
5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of 
another.

The Book of Romans, chapter 12

18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has 
been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing 
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with 
you always, to the end of the age."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28

5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, 
but our sufficiency is from God…

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 3

13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his 
commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every 
deed into the judgment on every secret thing, whether good or evil.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 12

11 …for it is written,

		"As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
			and every tongue shall give praise to God."

The Book of Romans, chapter 14

6		Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
			let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
7		For he is our God,
			and we are the people of his pasture,
			and the sheep of his hand.
		Today, if you hear his voice,
8			do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
			as on the day at Massah in the wilderness…

The 95th Psalm

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to 
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 1

7 …again he appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long 
afterward, in the words already quoted,

		"Today, if you hear his voice,
		do not harden your hearts."

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 4

8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you 
sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and 
weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble 
yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

The Epistle of James, chapter 4

5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul 
and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on 
your heart.

for us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me."

8		"As for me, I would seek God,
			and to God would I commit my cause,
9		who does great things and unsearchable,
			marvelous things without number…"

The Book of Job, chapter 5

1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 
2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may 
grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God 
chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as 
a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices 
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture:

		"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
			a cornerstone chosen and precious,
		and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 2

16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe 
will be condemned.

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 16

5		Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
			and do not lean on your own understanding.
6		In all your ways acknowledge him,
			and he will make straight your paths.

105	Your word is a lamp to my feet
			and a light to my path.

The 119th Psalm

34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have 
loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know 
that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

The Book of John, chapter 13

13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your 
hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus 
Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your 
former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all 
your conduct, 16 since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 1

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my 
presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and 
trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his 
good pleasure.

14 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, 15 that you may be blameless 
and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and 
twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding 
fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I 
did not run in vain or labor in vain.

The Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 2

15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the 
best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be 
foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 5

12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you 
in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because 
of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you, brothers, 
admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with 
them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do 
good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without 
ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in 
Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise 
prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from 
every form of evil.

The First Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 5

23 Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the 
mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24 but 
let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am 
the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. 
For in these things I delight," declares the LORD.

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 9

15 And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the 
whole creation."

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 16

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his 
commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God 
overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our 
faith.

The First Epistle of John, chapter 5

13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

The Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 4

6 Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by 
might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts."

The Book of Zechariah, chapter 4

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or 
think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the 
church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 3

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your 
father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 "that it 
may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." 4 Fathers, do not 
provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and 
instruction of the Lord.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 6

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 3

1 But as for you, teach what accords with healthy doctrine. 2 Older men are to 
be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in 
steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not 
slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so 
train the young women to love their husbands and children…

The Epistle to Titus, chapter 2

7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when
you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and
when you rise.

The Book of Numbers, chapter 6

8		Hear, my son, your father's instruction,
			and forsake not your mother's teaching,
9		for they are a graceful garland for your head
			and pendants for your neck.
10		My son, if sinners entice you,
			do not consent.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 1

24		Whoever spares the rod hates his son,
			but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 13

15		Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
			but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 22

1		A wise son hears his father's instruction,
			but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 13

15		The rod and reproof give wisdom,
			but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
16		When the wicked increase, transgression increases,
			but the righteous will look upon their downfall.
17		Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
			he will give delight to your heart.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 29

13		On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found,
			but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.
14		The wise lay up knowledge,
			but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 10

11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later 
it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by 
it.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 12

12		"Come," they say, "let me get wine;
			let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
		and tomorrow will be like this day,
			great beyond measure."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 56

1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no 
need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that 
the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are 
saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon 
them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

The First Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 5

1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of 
difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, 
arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving 
good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather 
than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its 
power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households 
and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 
7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just 
as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men 
corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get 
very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

The Second Epistle to Timothy, chapter 3

10		Like grapes in the wilderness,
			I found Israel.
		Like the first fruit on the fig tree
			in its first season,
			I saw your fathers.
		But they came to Baal-peor
			and consecrated themselves to the thing of shame,
			and became detestable like the thing they loved.

The Book of Hosea, chapter 9

1 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces east. 
And it was shut. 2 And the LORD said to me, "This gate shall remain shut; it 
shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the LORD, the God of 
Israel, has entered by it. Therefore it shall remain shut. 3 Only the prince 
may sit in it to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by way of the 
vestibule of the gate, and shall go out by the same way."

The Book of Ezekiel, chapter 44

9		Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
			Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem!
		Behold, your king is coming to you;
			righteous and having salvation is he,
		humble and mounted on a donkey,
			on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

The Book of Zechariah, chapter 9

4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before 
Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east 
to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move 
northward, and the other half southward.

The Book of Zechariah, chapter 14

21 "…then say to them, Thus says the LORD God: Behold, I will take the people of 
Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from 
all around, and bring them to their own land."

The Book of Ezekiel, chapter 37

4 For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, 
without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the 
children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their 
king, and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter 
days.

The Book of Hosea, chapter 3

11 In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the 
remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, 
from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the 
sea.

12		He will raise a signal for the nations
			and will assemble the banished of Israel,
		and gather the dispersed of Judah
			from the four corners of the earth.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 11

4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the 
end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

		Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 17

14		"I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
			and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
		they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
			and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15		I will plant them on their land,
			and they shall never again be uprooted
			out of the land that I have given them,"
		says the LORD your God.

The Book of Amos, chapter 9

1		O God, do not keep silence;
			do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2		For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
			those who hate you have raised their heads.
3		They lay crafty plans against your people;
			they consult together against your treasured ones.
4		They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
			let the name of Israel be remembered no more!"
5		For they conspire with one accord;
			against you they make a covenant…

The 83th Psalm

16 "You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. 
In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know 
me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes."

7		"For the Lord God does nothing

			to his servants the prophets."

The Book of Amos, chapter 3

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is 
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His 
eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a 
name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped 
in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the 
armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on 
white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down 
the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the 
winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on 
his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

The Revelation, chapter 19

16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the 
voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead 
in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be 
caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so 
we will always be with the Lord.

The First Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 4

6		For to us a child is born,
			to us a son is given;
		and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
			and his name shall be called
		Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
			Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7		Of the increase of his government and of peace
			there will be no end,
		on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
			to establish it and to uphold it
		with justice and with righteousness
			from this time forth and forevermore.
		The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 9

23		"Oh that my words were written!
			Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24		Oh that with an iron pen and lead
			they were engraved in the rock forever!
25		For I know that my Redeemer lives,
			and at the last he will stand upon the earth.
26		And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
			yet in my flesh I shall see God,
27		whom I shall see for myself,
			and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
			My heart faints within me!

The Book of Job, chapter 19

1 "At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your 
people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since 
there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be 
delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many 
of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting 
life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise 
shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to 
righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

The Book of Daniel, chapter 12

39 "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all 
that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will 
of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should 
have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

The Book of John, chapter 6

1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 
2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you 
that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for 
you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be 
also."

The Book of John, chapter 14

28 "Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs 
will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who have done good to the 
resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of 
judgment."

The Book of John, chapter 5

12 "When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will 
raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will 
establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will 
establish the throne of his kingdom forever."

The Second Book of Samuel, chapter 7

10		Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!
			Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
			he will judge the peoples with equity."

11		Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
			let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12		  let the field exult, and everything in it!
		Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
13		  before the Lord, for he comes,
			for he comes to judge the earth.
		He will judge the world in righteousness,
			and the peoples in his faithfulness.

The 96th Psalm

15		"For behold, the LORD will come in fire,
			and his chariots like the whirlwind,
		to render his anger in fury,
			and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16		For by fire will the LORD enter into judgment,
			and by his sword, with all flesh;
			and those slain by the LORD shall be many.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 66

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his 
presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw 
the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. 
Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were 
judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 
13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the 
dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to 
what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. 
This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not 
found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The Revelation, chapter 20

1 Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the 
tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of 
their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them. 2 And I 
thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are 
still alive. 3 But better than both is he who has not yet been and has not seen 
the evil deeds that are done under the sun.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 4

18		Why did I come out from the womb
			to see toil and sorrow,
			and spend my days in shame?

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 20

11		You clothed me with skin and flesh,
			and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12		You have granted me life and steadfast love,
			and your care has preserved my spirit.
13		Yet these things you hid in your heart;
			I know that this was your purpose.

The Book of Job, chapter 10

13		For you formed my inward parts;
			you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14		I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
		Wonderful are your works;
			my soul knows it very well.
15		My frame was not hidden from you,
		when I was being made in secret,
			intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16		Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
		in your book were written, every one of them,
			the days that were formed for me,
			when as yet there was none of them.

The 139th Psalm

5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a 
woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 11

15		Did not he who made me in the womb make him?
			And did not one fashion us in the womb?

The Book of Job, chapter 31

4		The Spirit of God has made me, 
			and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

The Book of Job, chapter 33

41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. 
And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud 
cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 
43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 
44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my 
womb leaped for joy."

21 "You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so 
profane the name of your God: I am the LORD."

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 18

The Book of Numbers, chapter 12

17 "You shall not murder."

the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I 
did not command, nor did it come into my mind."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 7

36		They served their idols,
			which became a snare to them.
37		They sacrificed their sons
			and their daughters to the demons;
38		they poured out innocent blood,
			the blood of their sons and daughters,
		whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
			and the land was polluted with blood.

The 106th Psalm

17 And they burned their sons and their daughters as offerings and used 
divination and omens and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, 
provoking him to anger.

The Second Book of Kings, chapter 17

20 "And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and 
these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a 
matter 21 that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering 
by fire to them?"

The 82th Psalm

13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and 
pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14 but Jesus said, "Let the little 
children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of 
heaven." 15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 19

5		Since his days are determined,

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 9

6		"Seek the LORD while he may be found;
			call upon him while he is near;

			and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 55

1 "For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant 
and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them 
ablaze, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor 
branch. 2 But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise 
with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. 
3 And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles 
of your feet, on the day when I act, says the LORD of hosts.

4 "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and just decrees that I 
commanded him at Horeb for all Israel."

The Book of Malachi, chapter 4

1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the 
living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; 
be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with 
complete patience and teaching.

The Second Epistle to Timothy, chapter 4

10		The years of our life are seventy,
			or even by reason of strength eighty;
		yet their span is but toil and trouble;
			they are soon gone, and we fly away.

The 90th Psalm

13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a 
town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"— 14 yet you do not 
know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that 
appears for a little time and then vanishes.

The Epistle of James, chapter 4

1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2		a time to be born, and a time to die;
		a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted…

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3

12 For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and 
like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an 
evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 9

18 "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is 
condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of 
God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people 
loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For 
everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, 
lest his works should be exposed."

The Book of John, chapter 3

12		So teach us to number our days
			that we may get a heart of wisdom.

The 90th Psalm

1		The heavens declare the glory of God,
			and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2		Day to day pours out speech,
			and night to night reveals knowledge.
3		There is no speech, nor are there words,
			whose voice is not heard.

The 19th Psalm

14		For the earth will be filled
			with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD
			as the waters cover the sea.

The Book of Habakkuk, chapter 2

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and 
unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For 
what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, 
have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the 
things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they 
knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became 
futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming 
to be wise, they became fools…

The Book of Romans, chapter 1

1 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same 
way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 
2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human 
passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time that is past suffices for 
doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, 
drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to 
this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of 
debauchery, and they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is 
ready to judge the living and the dead.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 4

12		If you say, "Behold, we did not know this,"
			does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
		Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
			and will he not repay man according to his work?

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 24

6 He will render to each one according to his works…

The Book of Romans, chapter 2

3		The eyes of the LORD are in every place,
			keeping watch on the evil and the good.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 15

13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to 
the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 4

9		The heart is deceitful above all things,
			and desperately sick;
			who can understand it?
10		"I the LORD search the heart
			and test the mind,
		to give every man according to his ways,
			according to the fruit of his deeds."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 17

12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and 
all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not 
the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law 
who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature 
do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not 
have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, 
while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts 
accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God 
judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

The Book of Romans, chapter 2

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, 
but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day 
many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast 
out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then 
will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of 
lawlessness.'"

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 7

22 He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward 
Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" 
And he said to them, 24 "Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I 
tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the master of 
the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to 
knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, 'I do 
not know where you come from.' 26 Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank 
in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' 27 But he will say, 'I tell 
you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of 
evil!' 28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you 
see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but 
you yourselves cast out. 29 And people will come from east and west, and from 
north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 13

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 
2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are 
a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God 
is with him." 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is 
born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can 
a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb 
and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born 
of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is 
born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows 
where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes 
from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

The Book of John, chapter 3

5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or 
do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless 
indeed you fail to meet the test!

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 13

6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to 
completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

The Epistle to the Philippians, chapter 1

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not 
neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one 
another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 10

19 So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow 
citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the 
foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the 
cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into 
a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also are being built together into a 
dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to 
the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 1

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family 
in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory 
he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner 
being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being 
rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the 
saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the 
love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the 
fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or 
think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the 
church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 3

20 "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me 
through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in 
me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe 
that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to 
them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that 
they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and 
loved them even as you loved me."

The Book of John, chapter 17

34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have 
loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know 
that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

The Book of John, chapter 13

8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude 
of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has 
received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied 
grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as 
one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything 
God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion 
forever and ever. Amen.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 4

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in 
order that the world might be saved through him.

The Book of John, chapter 3

33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 
34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was 
raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over 
opinions.

The Book of Romans, chapter 14

1 Brothers and sisters, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are 
spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, 
lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law 
of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he 
deceives himself.

The Epistle to the Galatians, chapter 6

15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and 
him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he 
does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may 
be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to 
listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the 
church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 18

12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, 
kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if 
one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has 
forgiven you, so you also must forgive.14 And above all these put on love, 
which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of 
Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be 
thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and 
admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual 
songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word 
or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the 
Father through him.

The Epistle to the Colossians, chapter 3

2 "I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot 
bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves 
apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3 I know you are enduring 
patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary."

The Revelation, chapter 2

3		 …and many peoples shall come, and say:
			"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
		to the house of the God of Jacob,
			that he may teach us his ways
		and that we may walk in his paths."
			For out of Zion shall go the law,
		and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 2

10		The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
			and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 9

7		The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
			fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 1

13		The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil.
		Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
			and perverted speech I hate.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 8

6		By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
			and by the fear of the LORD one turns away from evil.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 16

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all 
without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no 
doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and 
tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive 
anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

The Epistle of James, chapter 1

17		"For behold, I create new heavens
			and a new earth,
		and the former things shall not be remembered
			or come into mind.
18		But be glad and rejoice forever
			in that which I create;
		for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
			and her people to be a gladness.
19		I will rejoice in Jerusalem
			and be glad in my people;
		no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping
			and the cry of distress."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 65

22		"For as the new heavens and the new earth
			that I make
		shall remain before me," says the LORD,
			"so shall your offspring and your name remain.
23		From new moon to new moon,
			and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
		all flesh shall come to worship before me,"
		declares the LORD.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 66

1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, 
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the 
street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with 
its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the 
tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be anything 
accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his 
bondservants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be 
on their foreheads. 5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of 
lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever 
and ever.

The Revelation, chapter 22

8 "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, 
the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will 
be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

The Revelation, chapter 21

12 "His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and 
gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable 
fire."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 3

41 "The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom 
all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery 
furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 13

14		The sinners in Zion are afraid;
			trembling has seized the godless:
		"Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire?
			Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?"

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 33

13 "Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him 
into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth.'"

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 22

11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no 
rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever 
receives the mark of its name."

The Revelation, chapter 14

24 "And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have 
rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be 
quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 66

1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, 
taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away 
from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord 
Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in 
dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the 
ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He 
is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in 
Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men 
and be crucified and on the third day rise." 8 And they remembered his words, 
9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to 
all the rest.

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 24

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the 
LORD God had made.

He said to the woman, "Did God actually say, 'You shall not eat of any tree in 
the garden'?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of 
the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the 
tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you 
die.'" 4 But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die."

The Book of Genesis, chapter 3

44 "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's 
desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, 
because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own 
character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

The Book of John, chapter 8

3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 
4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, 
to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is 
the image of God.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 4

11 Thus shall you say to them: "The gods who did not make the heavens and the 
earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 10

8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a 
roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, 
knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your 
brotherhood throughout the world.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 5

1 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 
2 and with his wife's knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds 
and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter 
said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and 
to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained 
unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your 
disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have 
not lied to man but to God."

The Book of Acts, chapter 5

31 "Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast 
out."

The Book of John, chapter 12

9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the 
devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the 
earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in 
heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and 
the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and 
sisters has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 
11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their 
testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death."

The Revelation, chapter 12

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, 
against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, 
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 6

10 …and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and 
sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented 
day and night forever and ever.

The Revelation, chapter 20

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect 
gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no 
variation or shadow due to change.

The Epistle of James, chapter 1

45 "…so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his 
sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the 
unjust."

7 For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not 
receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

The 24th Psalm

10		"For every beast of the forest is mine,
			the cattle on a thousand hills.
11		I know all the birds of the hills,

The 50th Psalm

17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to 
set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides 
us with everything to enjoy. 18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, 
to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves 
as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which 
is truly life.

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 6

15 And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all 
covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his 
possessions." 16 And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man 
produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I 
have nowhere to store my crops?' 18 And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear 
down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my 
goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have ample goods laid up for 
many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry."' 20 But God said to him, 'Fool! This 
night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose 
will they be?' 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not 
rich toward God."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 12

19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy 
and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in 
heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in 
and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body 
will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full 
of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the 
other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve 
God and money."

9		Honor the LORD with your wealth
			and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
10		then your barns will be filled with plenty,
			and your vats will be bursting with wine.

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 3

18 Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will 
make him a helper fit for him."

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 18

14		House and wealth are inherited from fathers,

The Book of Proverbs, chapter 19

3		Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
			the fruit of the womb a reward.
4		Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
			are the children of one's youth.

The 127th Psalm

8 "Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, 'How have we robbed 
you?' In your tithes and contributions. 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you 
are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 10 Bring the full tithe into the 
storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the 
test," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open the windows of heaven for 
you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will 
rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your 
soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear," says the LORD of 
hosts. 12 "Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of 
delight," says the LORD of hosts.

The Book of Malachi, chapter 3

13 There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by 
their owner to his hurt…

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 5

36 "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 
37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of 
me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the 
Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the 
holy angels."

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 8

2		In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
			let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3		For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul,
			and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.
4		In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him;
			all his thoughts are, "There is no God."
5		His ways prosper at all times;
			your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
			as for all his foes, he puffs at them.
6		He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved;
			throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity."
7		His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
			under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.

The 10th Psalm

7 Again, I saw vanity under the sun: 8 one person who has no other, either son 
or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never 
satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, "For whom am I toiling and 
depriving myself of pleasure?" This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 4

18 I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave 
it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise 
or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom 
under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 So I turned about and gave my heart up 
to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a 
person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything 
to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a 
great evil. 22 What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with 
which he toils beneath the sun? 23 For all his days are full of sorrow, and his 
work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is 
vanity.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 2

1 I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy 
yourself." But behold, this also was vanity. 2 I said of laughter, "It is mad," 
and of pleasure, "What use is it?" 3 I searched with my heart how to cheer my 
body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on 
folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under 
heaven during the few days of their life.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 2

10 And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from 
no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward 
for all my toil. 11 Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I 
had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, 
and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 2

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into 
the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food 
and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich 
fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires 
that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a 
root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered 
away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

The First Epistle to Timothy, chapter 6

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of 
the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the 
things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set 
the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

The Book of Romans, chapter 8

14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they 
are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are 
spiritually discerned.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 2

8		But it is the spirit in man,
			the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.

The Book of Job, chapter 32

9 But, as it is written,

		"What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
			nor the heart of man imagined,
		what God has prepared for those who love him"—

10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit 
searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's 
thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one 
comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 2

2		"All these things my hand has made, 
			and so all these things came to be," 
		declares the LORD. 
		"But this is the one to whom I will look: 
			he who is humble and contrite in spirit 
			and trembles at my word."

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 66

13 "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."

The Book of Jeremiah, chapter 29

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the 
proper time he may exalt you…

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 5

17		The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
			a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

The 51th Psalm

15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when 
the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to him, 
saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such 
belongs the kingdom of God. 17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive 
the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 18

17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

The Book of Romans, chapter 10

24 Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus 
came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said 
to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger 
into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never 
believe."

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. 
Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, 
"Peace be with you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see 
my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, 
but believe." 28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to 
him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have 
not seen and yet have believed."

The Book of John, chapter 20

12 And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to 
the test.'"

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 4

4		Say to those who have an anxious heart,
			"Be strong; fear not!
		Behold, your God
			will come with vengeance,
		with the recompense of God.
			He will come and save you."

5		Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
			and the ears of the deaf unstopped…

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 35

6		"I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness;
			I will take you by the hand and keep you;
		I will give you as a covenant for the people,
			a light for the nations,
7			to open the eyes that are blind,
		to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
			from the prison those who sit in darkness.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 42

18		In that day the deaf shall hear
			the words of a book,
		and out of their gloom and darkness
			the eyes of the blind shall see.
19		The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD,
			and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

The Book of Isaiah, chapter 29

18 The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, 19 calling 
two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one 
who is to come, or shall we look for another?" 20 And when the men had come to 
him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one 
who is to come, or shall we look for another?'" 21 In that hour he healed many 
people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he 
bestowed sight. 22 And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen 
and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, 
and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to 
them. 23 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me."

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 7

34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many 
demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 1

1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is 
the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw 
the signs that he was doing on the sick.

The Book of John, chapter 6

14 And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick 
with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and 
began to serve him. 16 That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed 
by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were 
sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: "He took 
our illnesses and bore our diseases."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 8

40 Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with 
various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of 
them and healed them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, "You are the 
Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because 
they knew that he was the Christ.

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 4

11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from 
heaven to test him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, "Why does 
this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this 
generation."

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 8

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, "Teacher, we 
wish to see a sign from you." 39 But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous 
generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of 
the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the 
belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights 
in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment 
with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of 
Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the 
South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she 
came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, 
something greater than Solomon is here."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 12

1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show 
them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It 
will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' 3 And in the morning, 'It will be 
stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret 
the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 
4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given 
to it except the sign of Jonah." So he left them and departed.

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that 
Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was 
buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to 
more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, 
though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the 
apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For 
I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I 
persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and 
his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any 
of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether 
then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 15

12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands 
of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 13 None of 
the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14 And more 
than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 
15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots 
and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 
16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick 
and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

The Book of Acts, chapter 5

1 He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed 
him. 2 And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who 
heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things? What 
is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? 3 Is 
not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and 
Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense 
at him. 4 And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in 
his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household." 5 And he could 
do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and 
healed them. 6 And he marveled because of their unbelief.

And he went about among the villages teaching.

The Gospel of Mark, chapter 6

25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them 
to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that 
would be written.

The Book of John, chapter 21

2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are 
a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God 
is with him."

The Book of John, chapter 3

3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was 
healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they 
worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they 
worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who can fight against 
it?"

The Revelation, chapter 13

18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who 
are being saved it is the power of God.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 1

1		The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
			They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds,
			there is none who does good.

The 14th Psalm

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near 
to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

The Epistle to the Hebrews, chapter 11

7 So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,

		"The stone that the builders rejected
			has become the cornerstone,"

8 and

		"A stone of stumbling,
			and a rock of offense."

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 2

27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what 
is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised 
in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 
29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

The First Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 1

36 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son 
shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."

The Book of John, chapter 3

3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your 
thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

The Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 11

14 The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And 
yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them. 15 Then I said in 
my heart, "What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I 
been so very wise?" And I said in my heart that this also is vanity. 16 For of 
the wise as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the 
days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise dies just like the 
fool!

The Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 2

43 "Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear 
my word."

The Book of John, chapter 8

15 "And speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall 
bear his sin.'"

The Book of Leviticus, chapter 24

3 "Therefore say to them, 'Thus declares the LORD of hosts: Return to me, says 
the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you,' says the LORD of hosts."

The Book of Zechariah, chapter 1

13 "Your words have been hard against me, says the LORD. But you say, 'How have 
we spoken against you?' 14 You have said, 'It is vain to serve God. What is the 
profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the LORD 
of hosts? 15 And now we call the arrogant blessed. Evildoers not only prosper 
but they put God to the test and they escape.'"

16 Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another. The LORD paid 
attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of 
those who feared the LORD and esteemed his name. 17 "They shall be mine, says 
the LORD of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I 
will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. 18 Then once more you 
shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who 
serves God and one who does not serve him."

The Book of Malachi, chapter 3

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that 
have been accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were 
eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3 it seemed 
good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to 
write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 that you may 
have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

The Gospel of Luke, chapter 1

1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do 
and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands 
through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented 
himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them 
during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

The Book of Acts, chapter 1

20 Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one 
who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, "Lord, who is it 
that is going to betray you?" 21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, 
what about this man?" 22 Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain 
until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!" 23 So the saying spread 
abroad among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not to die; yet 
Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he 
remain until I come, what is that to you?"

24 This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has 
written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

The Book of John, chapter 21

1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his 
bondservants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending 
his angel to his bondservant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to 
the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one 
who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and 
who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

The Revelation, chapter 1

16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and 
behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending 
like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, 
"This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 3

26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the 
Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me."

The Book of John, chapter 15

18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

The Epistle to the Ephesians, chapter 2

2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our 
prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor 
of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, 
brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5 because our gospel 
came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with 
full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your 
sake.

The First Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 1

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of 
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…

The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28

2 …according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of 
the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood:

May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

The First Epistle of Peter, chapter 1

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of 
the Holy Spirit be with you all.
