Ephesians 5:13

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;

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.

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.

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

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

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.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

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.

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

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

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts:

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.

The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

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

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

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

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

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.”

throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.

when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,

but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed; nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is.

For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

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.

Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.

Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.

“Cry aloud! Don’t spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”

You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’ ”

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

Plead my cause, and redeem me! Revive me according to your promise.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

Then Yahweh said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I didn’t send them. I didn’t command them. I didn’t speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.

For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.

Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says Yahweh, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says Yahweh.

Their Redeemer is strong: Yahweh of Armies is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,’ when Yahweh has not spoken.

The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.

Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?’

For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.” ’

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

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.

Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.

Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.

I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light. I will see his righteousness.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”

God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
