Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
For no word from God will ever fail.

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.”
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
Who has done this and carried it through,
calling forth the generations from the beginning?

Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.
Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him.Do not judge, or you too will be judged. Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.Next verse!With image
