1 Corinthians 14:24

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

“ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”

But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I did.”

brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

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.

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.

Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”

For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food.

Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.

The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are words from the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,

whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”

Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”

Then your servant said, ‘Please let the word of my lord the king bring rest; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. May Yahweh, your God, be with you.’ ”

But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God;’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?’

I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar?’ ”

But those of those who escape, they will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, everyone in his iniquity.

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”

The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”

Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”

Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

“Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?”

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.

Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’

I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,

But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment. Yes, I don’t judge my own self.

and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.

But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
