1 Corinthians 14:37

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.’ ”

But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”

No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.

Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.”

However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,

Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

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

He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.

I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever:

the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

I will not leave you orphans. I will come to you.

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

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

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

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Let all that you do be done in love.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.

Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

Moses said, “Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself?

“I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.” ’

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;” which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”

“Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

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

For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus Christ, our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”

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

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

he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:

teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

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.

Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.

But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God’s Spirit.

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

My defense to those who examine me is this:

For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news”, which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.

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.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
