calling forth the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last—I am he. - You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
- The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.
- He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” - May God bless us still,

- But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love. - Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out! - Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

- You, Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures from generation to generation. - The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
- God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.Next verse!With image
