...and that from childhood you have known the
Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise
for 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 complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work.2 Timothy 3:15-17
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,
which you do well to heed as a light that shines
in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this
first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any
private interpretation, for prophecy never came
by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as
they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter
1:19-21
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image,
according to Our likeness; let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the
air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and
over every creeping thing that creeps on the
earth."
Genesis
1:26
Then one of the scribes came, and having heard
them reasoning together, perceiving that He had
answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the
first commandment of all?" Jesus answered
him, "The first of all the commandments is:
'Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is
one. 'And you shall love the LORD your God with
all your heart, with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength.' This is the
first commandment. "And the second, like it,
is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.' There is no other commandment greater
than these." So the scribe said to Him,
"Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the
truth, for there is one God, and there is no
other but He. "And to love Him with all the
heart, with all the understanding, with all the
soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's
neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole
burnt offerings and sacrifices." Now when
Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him,
"You are not far from the kingdom of God."
But after that no one dared question Him.
Mark 12:28-34
"If you love Me, keep My commandments.
"And I will pray the Father, and He will
give you another Helper, that He may abide with
you forever; "the Spirit of truth, whom the
world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him
nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells
with you and will be in you. "I will not
leave you orphans; I will come to you. "A
little while longer and the world will see Me no
more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you
will live also. "At that day you will know
that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in
you. "He who has My commandments and keeps
them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me
will be loved by My Father, and I will love him
and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not
Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that
You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the
world?" Jesus answered and said to him,
"If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word;
and My Father will love him, and We will come to
him and make Our home with him. "He who does
not love Me does not keep My words; and the word
which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who
sent Me. "These things I have spoken to you
while being present with you. "But the
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in My name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all things that I
said to you.
John 14:15-26
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is
given; And the government will be upon His
shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful,
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
of Peace.
Isaiah
9:6
Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say
to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
John 8:58
Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him,
"How long do You keep us in doubt? If You
are the Christ, tell us plainly." Jesus
answered them, "I told you, and you do not
believe. The works that I do in My Father's name,
they bear witness of Me. "But you do not
believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I
said to you. "My sheep hear My voice, and I
know them, and they follow Me. "And I give
them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
"My Father, who has given them to Me, is
greater than all; and no one is able to snatch
them out of My Father's hand. "I and My
Father are one."
John 10:24-30
...looking for the blessed hope and glorious
appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus
Christ,
Titus 2:13
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a
sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear
a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah
7:14
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
before they came together, she was found with
child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man, and not wanting to make her a
public example, was minded to put her away
secretly. But while he thought about these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a
dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not
be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
"And she will bring forth a Son, and you
shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His
people from their sins." So all this was
done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "Behold,
the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son,
and they shall call His name Immanuel,"
which is translated, "God with us."
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the
angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him
his wife, and did not know her till she had
brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called
His name JESUS.
Matthew
1:18-25
"Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the
days when He looked on me, to take away my
reproach among people." Now in the sixth
month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city
of Galilee named Nazareth,
Luke 1:25-26
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,
that we might become the righteousness of God in
Him.
2
Corinthians 5:21
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all
points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews
4:15
And you know that He was manifested to take away
our sins, and in Him there is no sin.
1 John
3:5
When He had come down from the mountain, great
multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came
and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are
willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus
put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I
am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his
leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him,
"See that you tell no one; but go your way,
show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift
that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion
came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, "Lord,
my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully
tormented." And Jesus said to him, "I
will come and heal him." The centurion
answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy
that You should come under my roof. But only
speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
"For I also am a man under authority, having
soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,'
and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes;
and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to
those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you,
I have not found such great faith, not even in
Israel! "And I say to you that many will
come from east and west, and sit down with
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of
heaven. "But the sons of the kingdom will be
cast out into outer darkness. There will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth." Then Jesus
said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as
you have believed, so let it be done for you."
And his servant was healed that same hour. Now
when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw
his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. So He
touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she
arose and served them. When evening had come,
they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed.
And He cast out the spirits with a word, and
healed all who were sick, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,
saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And
bore our sicknesses." And when Jesus saw
great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to
depart to the other side. Then a certain scribe
came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will
follow You wherever You go." And Jesus said
to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the
air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to
lay His head." Then another of His disciples
said to Him, "Lord, let me first go and bury
my father." But Jesus said to him, "Follow
Me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
Now when He got into a boat, His disciples
followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose
on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the
waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came
to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us!
We are perishing!" But He said to them,
"Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?"
Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea,
and there was a great calm. So the men marveled,
saying, "Who can this be, that even the
winds and the sea obey Him?" When He had
come to the other side, to the country of the
Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men,
coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so
that no one could pass that way. And suddenly
they cried out, saying, "What have we to do
with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come
here to torment us before the time?" Now a
good way off from them there was a herd of many
swine feeding. So the demons begged Him, saying,
"If You cast us out, permit us to go away
into the herd of swine." And He said to them,
"Go." So when they had come out, they
went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the
whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep
place into the sea, and perished in the water.
Then those who kept them fled; and they went away
into the city and told everything, including what
had happened to the demon-possessed men. And
behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus.
And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart
from their region.
Matthew
8
When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the
paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
And some of the scribes were sitting there and
reasoning in their hearts, "Why does this
Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive
sins but God alone?" But immediately, when
Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned
thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why
do you reason about these things in your hearts?
"Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your
sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise, take
up your bed and walk'? "But that you may
know that the Son of Man has power on earth to
forgive sins"; He said to the paralytic,
"I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and
go to your house." Immediately he arose,
took up the bed, and went out in the presence of
them all, so that all were amazed and glorified
God, saying, "We never saw anything like
this!"
Mark 2:5-12
This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of
Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His
disciples believed in Him.
Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover,
during the feast, many believed in His name when
they saw the signs which He did.
John 2:11,
23
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of
His grace
Ephesians
1:7
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower
than the angels, for the suffering of death
crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the
grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
Hebrews
2:9
...but grow in the grace and knowledge of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory
both now and forever. Amen.
2 Peter
3:18
So the Jews answered and said to Him, "What
sign do You show to us, since You do these things?"
Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six
years to build this temple, and will You raise it
up in three days?" But He was speaking of
the temple of His body. Therefore, when He had
risen from the dead, His disciples remembered
that He had said this to them; and they believed
the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
John 2:18-22
...to whom He also presented Himself alive after
His suffering by many infallible proofs, being
seen by them during forty days and speaking of
the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. And
being assembled together with them, He commanded
them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait
for the Promise of the Father, "which,"
He said, "you have heard from Me, "for
John truly baptized with water, but you shall be
baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from
now." Therefore, when they had come together,
they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at
this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
And He said to them, "It is not for you to
know times or seasons which the Father has put in
His own authority. "But you shall receive
power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and
you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth." Now when He had spoken these things,
while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud
received Him out of their sight.
Acts 1:3-9
But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to
each seed its own body.
1
Corinthians 15:38
So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He
was received up into heaven, and sat down at the
right hand of God.
Mark 16:19
...and what is the exceeding greatness of His
power toward us who believe, according to the
working of His mighty power which He worked in
Christ when He raised Him from the dead and
seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly
places, far above all principality and power and
might and dominion, and every name that is named,
not only in this age but also in that which is to
come.
Ephesians
1:19-21
... looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher
of our faith, who for the joy that was set before
Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
has sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God.
Hebrews
12:2
Now when He had spoken these things, while they
watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received
Him out of their sight. And while they looked
steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold,
two men stood by them in white apparel, who also
said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand
gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was
taken up from you into heaven, will so come in
like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
Acts 1:9-11
"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My
reward is with Me, to give to every one according
to his work.
Revelation
22:12
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has
everlasting life, and shall not come into
judgment, but has passed from death into life.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the
voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will
live. "For as the Father has life in Himself,
so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
"and has given Him authority to execute
judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
"Do not marvel at this; for the hour is
coming in which all who are in the graves will
hear His voice "and come forth; those who
have done good, to the resurrection of life, and
those who have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation.
John 5:24-29
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat
on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven
fled away. And there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing
before God, and books were opened. And another
book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And
the dead were judged according to their works, by
the things which were written in the books. The
sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death
and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.
And they were judged, each one according to his
works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the
lake of fire. This is the second death. And
anyone not found written in the Book of Life was
cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation
20:11-15
But now the righteousness of God apart from the
law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and
the Prophets, even the righteousness of God,
through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all
who believe. For there is no difference; for all
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
being justified freely by His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set
forth as a propitiation by His blood, through
faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because
in His forbearance God had passed over the sins
that were previously committed, to demonstrate at
the present time His righteousness, that He might
be just and the justifier of the one who has
faith in Jesus.
Romans
3:21-26
And you He made alive, who were dead in
trespasses and sins, in which you once walked
according to the course of this world, according
to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
who now works in the sons of disobedience, among
whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the
flesh and of the mind, and were by nature
children of wrath, just as the others. But God,
who is rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us, even when we were dead in
trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), and raised us up
together, and made us sit together in the
heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages
to come He might show the exceeding riches of His
grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we
are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for
good works, which God prepared beforehand that we
should walk in them.
Ephesians
2:1-10
For we ourselves were also once foolish,
disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and
pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and
hating one another. But when the kindness and the
love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to His mercy He saved us, through the
washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy
Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been
justified by His grace we should become heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:3-7
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has
everlasting life, and shall not come into
judgment, but has passed from death into life.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the
voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will
live. "For as the Father has life in Himself,
so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
"and has given Him authority to execute
judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
"Do not marvel at this; for the hour is
coming in which all who are in the graves will
hear His voice "and come forth; those who
have done good, to the resurrection of life, and
those who have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation.
John 5:24-29
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat
on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven
fled away. And there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing
before God, and books were opened. And another
book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And
the dead were judged according to their works, by
the things which were written in the books. The
sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death
and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.
And they were judged, each one according to his

lake of fire. This is the second death. And
anyone not found written in the Book of Life was
cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation
20:11-15
"I do not pray for these alone, but also for
those who will believe in Me through their word;
"that they all may be one, as You, Father,
are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be
one in Us, that the world may believe that You
sent Me.
John 17:20,
21
For as the body is one and has many members, but
all the members of that one body, being many, are
one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we
were all baptized into one body; whether Jews or
Greeks, whether slaves or free; and have all been
made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the
body is not one member but many.
1
Corinthians 12:12-14
For you are all sons of God through faith in
Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized
into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither
Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free,
there is neither male nor female; for you are all
one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians
3:26-28
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of
adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God
Romans
8:15,16
Or do you not know that your body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have
from God, and you are not your own? For you were
bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your
body and in your spirit, which are God's.
1
Corinthians 6:19, 20
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not
fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh
lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against
the flesh; and these are contrary to one another,
so that you do not do the things that you wish.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not
under the law. Now the works of the flesh are
evident, which are: adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lewdness...
Galatians
5:16-19
