2 Corinthians 13:8

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

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

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

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

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.

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

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.

If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

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,

coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.

Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”

Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defied?

What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.

But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

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.

and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:

Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds,

It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”

There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”

For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.

Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Yahweh be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.

What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

He frustrates the plans of the crafty, So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

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

Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them.

Behold, isn’t it of Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?

For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
