1 Peter 2:23

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

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

Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

“He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them.

He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?

But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.

For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

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.

And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

“Isn’t this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?

Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

preaching God’s Kingdom, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News,

Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

“To the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation, says these things:

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” Having said this, he breathed his last.

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

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.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yahweh has said to him, ‘Curse David;’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’ ”

David went out to meet them, and answered them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if you have come to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see this and rebuke it.”

“But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,

Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.

God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

But as for me, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you.

before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.

He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.

But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.

But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.

Yahweh, you have seen my wrong. Judge my cause.

But Jesus held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”

When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God;

We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
