John 15:19

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

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

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

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

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

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

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

I have longed for your salvation, Yahweh. Your law is my delight.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

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.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed.

Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

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,

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

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.

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,

You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;

The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

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.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.

If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,

But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

“Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”

that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”

Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”

I don’t speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.’

I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep God’s commandments and hold Jesus’ testimony.
