1 John 3:24

I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’ ”

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

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!

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart.

and I will bring them, and they will dwell within Jerusalem; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.”

One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

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.

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.’ ”

Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

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

For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

“It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ ”

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!

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

For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

who also sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

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.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?

He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.

He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him.

Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

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

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

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.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

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.

I won’t hide my face from them any more; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

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

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

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.

The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all, and in us all.

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

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
