1 Corinthians 2:9

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

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

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

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.

who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

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

“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

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

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

“Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

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.”

and said, “I beg you, Yahweh, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:

I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”

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

“Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

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

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you for all your days.

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

Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

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

but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

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

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

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, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

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

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

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,

When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

We love him, because he first loved us.

However I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

The mandrakes produce fragrance. At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old, which I have stored up for you, my beloved.

You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.

Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she gave birth to her children.

Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.

and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
