1 John 4:12

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.

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

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.

“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.

Let all that you do be done in love.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

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

For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

“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!’ ”

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.

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

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.”

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

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 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.’ ”

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

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

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

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

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.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

“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.’ ”

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

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.

One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

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

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

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

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.

Let brotherly love continue.

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.

She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees,” for she said, “Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?”

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

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”

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.

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.”

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”

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,

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

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,

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

And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

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

“You shall have no other gods before me.

He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

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

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.

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.

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.”

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.

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

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.

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

In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.

He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

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?

Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”

They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father.

In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

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

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

He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”

With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

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

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

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.

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.

Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
