1 Corinthians 1:24

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

“Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Father’s glory, with the holy angels.”

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.

Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

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

You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

To them it was revealed, that they served not to themselves, but to you, in these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.

Yahweh, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and rise up, princes, and they shall worship, because of Yahweh who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.

Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are dying,

throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved and in those who perish:

Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.”

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.

Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?

us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

All Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.

“With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.

He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,

Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.

“Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.

Who has believed our message? To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold. Therefore my own arm brought salvation to me. My own wrath upheld me.

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”

to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.

in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace

and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
