1 John 5:18

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

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—

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it,

“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.

A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.

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

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

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.

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

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

“In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

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

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

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.

What the wicked fear, will overtake them, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

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

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

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.

These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart;

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

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.

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

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

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.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

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

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

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

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

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

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.”

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

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.”

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.

Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Keep yourselves in God’s love, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”

Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.

Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.

I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: whoever guards his soul stays from them.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.

If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’ ”

As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.

Yahweh helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.

I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”

You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”

But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.

who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

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.

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

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

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.

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

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

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

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

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,

“I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. You hold firmly to my name, and didn’t deny my faith in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
