I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Therefore I will look unto the LORD;I will wait for the God of my salvation:my God will hear me.Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy:when I fall, I shall arise;when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him,until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me:he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover herwhich said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God?mine eyes shall behold her:now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. #bibleverse
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. #bibleverse
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. #bibleverse
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. #
A PSALM OF DAVID.Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed,let not mine enemies triumph over me.Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:for thou art the God of my salvation;on thee do I wait all the day.Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;for they have been ever of old.Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:according to thy mercy remember thou mefor thy goodness' sake, O LORD.Good and upright is the LORD:therefore will he teach sinners in the way.The meek will he guide in judgment:and the meek will he teach his way.All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truthunto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.For thy name's sake, O LORD,pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.What man is he that feareth the LORD?him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.His soul shall dwell at ease;and his seed shall inherit the earth.The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him;and he will shew them his covenant.Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;for I am desolate and afflicted.The troubles of my heart are enlarged:O bring thou me out of my distresses.Look upon mine affliction and my pain;and forgive all my sins.Consider mine enemies; for they are many;and they hate me with cruel hatred.O keep my soul, and deliver me:let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;for I wait on thee.Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. #bibleverse
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. #bibleverse
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.To know wisdom and instruction;to perceive the words of understanding;To receive the instruction of wisdom,justice, and judgment, and equity;To give subtilty to the simple,to the young man knowledge and discretion.A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:To understand a proverb, and the interpretation;the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:but fools despise wisdom and instruction.My son, hear the instruction of thy father,and forsake not the law of thy mother:For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,and chains about thy neck. #bibleverse
TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, TO JEDUTHUN, A PSALM OF DAVID.Truly my soul waiteth upon God:from him cometh my salvation.He only is my rock and my salvation;he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?ye shall be slain all of you:as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:they delight in lies:they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.My soul, wait thou only upon God;for my expectation is from him.He only is my rock and my salvation:he is my defence; I shall not be moved.In God is my salvation and my glory:the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:God is a refuge for us. Selah.Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.Trust not in oppression,and become not vain in robbery:if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.God hath spoken once;twice have I heard this;that power belongeth unto God.Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy:for thou renderest to every man according to his work. #bibleverse
