1 Corinthians 11:32

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

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

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

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

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

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

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 are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’

Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

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

Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law,

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

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;

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;

Yah has punished me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.

O Yahweh, don’t your eyes look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.

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.”

For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim.

that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

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 children of disobedience.

of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:

Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds,

It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

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

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.

He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.

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

You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;

Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.

Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.

“I have struck your children in vain. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

For Yahweh says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.

Yahweh, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.

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

He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’

about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

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

then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says Yahweh; “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven 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.”

However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”

He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,

They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.

Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more.

Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.

You shall tell them, ‘This is the nation that has not listened to Yahweh their God’s voice, nor received instruction. Truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.

Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
