- This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
- Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
- For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
- And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
- Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
- All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up. - No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
- I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love.
- What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
- Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched? - Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end. - In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps. - It is to one’s honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel. - Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
- What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
- Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. - Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. - But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
- Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor. - Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
- For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
- Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice. - It is a trap to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider one’s vows. - Blessed is the one whom God corrects;
so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
