1 Thessalonians 5:20

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

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.

These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.

He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as he ought to know.

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

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.

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

Let all that you do be done in love.

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?

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

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.

See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

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

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

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

Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?

“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

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.

They went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

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.”

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

Therefore he who rejects this doesn’t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
