1 Thessalonians 2:13

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

“Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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.

He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

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.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

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.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

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.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,

Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

Repent therefore, or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.

You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

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.

because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

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,

Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

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

He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and does miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.

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

but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

“As for the word that you have spoken to us in Yahweh’s name, we will not listen to you.

Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.

For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News

which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,

when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

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.

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

Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

He read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

Yahweh will send out the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule among your enemies.

I have not turned away from your ordinances, for you have taught me.

Listen, my son, and receive my sayings. The years of your life will be many.

But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you,

For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

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.
