1 John 4:19

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.”

“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.

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.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

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

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.”

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.

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,

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

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

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

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

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

“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,

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

for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

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

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

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

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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!

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

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

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

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

Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

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

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

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,

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,

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.

with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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?

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.

Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

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

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

Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, 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,

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.

Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

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.

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

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.

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

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

I love you, Yahweh, my strength.

I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!

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

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.

Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love, and into the perseverance of Christ.

Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.

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.
