Job 13:1

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

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

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

Yahweh’s works are great, pondered by all those who delight in them.

The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Whoever transgresses and doesn’t remain in the teaching of Christ, doesn’t have God. He who remains in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

“ ‘If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings, if he offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without defect before Yahweh.

It shall be, if you go with us—yes, it shall be—that whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you.”

to keep Yahweh’s commandments and statutes, which I command you today for your good?

“Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.

Look at this. We have searched it. It is so. Hear it, and know it for your good.”

“Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.

“No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

“I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare

“Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

“Behold, I waited for your words, and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say.

I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

I am a friend of all those who fear you, of those who observe your precepts.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding:

“I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

‘Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’ ”

for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.

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 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.

Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,

who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”

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,

but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you.

Therefore I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.
