1 Chronicles 28:6

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’

So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”

He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

He will call to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation!’

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”

You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you.

“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,

For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”

He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who has been living in it.

The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

but if I wait long, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in God’s house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent.

I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring may also be counted.

“You shall make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long for one side.

“Be strong and courageous; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’

David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of Yahweh’s house is finished.

Now Solomon decided to build a house for Yahweh’s name, and a house for his kingdom.

Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”

“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

If his children forsake my law, and don’t walk in my ordinances;

Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.

let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gate of his enemies.

You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.

Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name.

Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise Yahweh. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”

He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, around the gate.

As for the temple, the door posts were squared. As for the face of the sanctuary, its appearance was as the appearance of the temple.

Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north. Then he brought me into the room that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Yahweh of Armies; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them, and cook in them. In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of Armies.

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory,

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he who built the house has more honor than the house.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
