1 Timothy 6:12

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

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

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—

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Yahweh upholds the righteous.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

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.

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

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

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.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

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.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

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

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

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

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.

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

I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

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

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”

You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”

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,

Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

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,

“Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn’t walk naked, and they see his shame.”

Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.

Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

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

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession: Jesus,

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

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.

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.

“This is what is assigned to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting;

and shall tell them, “Hear, Israel, you draw near today to battle against your enemies. Don’t let your heart faint! Don’t be afraid, nor tremble, neither be scared of them;

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to Yahweh your God, that I have come to the land which Yahweh swore to our fathers to give us.”

only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:

Sons were also born to Shemaiah his son, who ruled over the house of their father; for they were mighty men of valor.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, into the room of her who conceived me.

One will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s;’ and another will be called by the name of Jacob; and another will write with his hand ‘to Yahweh,’ and honor the name of Israel.”

They shall be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Yahweh is with them; and the riders on horses will be confounded.

Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Christ and for the generosity of your contribution to them and to all,

having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.

This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings.

This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from the flock’s milk?

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
