Galatians 5:8

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.

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.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.

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.”

Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

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,

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

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

and said, “I beg you, Yahweh, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:

I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”

But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace

according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We love him, because he first loved us.

You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn’t know, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.

The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you didn’t receive, or a different “good news”, which you didn’t accept, you put up with that well enough.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

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

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”,

making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

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.”

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.

The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.

but you know that because of weakness in the flesh I preached the Good News to you the first time.

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.

For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out. They started to dread the children of Israel.

Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.

Solomon loved Yahweh, walking in the statutes of David his father; except that he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

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

“Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.

He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.

But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

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

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

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.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love, and into the perseverance of Christ.

As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

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,

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
