John 15:23

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

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

This is the will of the one who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son, and believes in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

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

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?

Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.

But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

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

They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Yahweh’s word came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.

They resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honor from Yahweh God.”

But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.

You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

For whoever does the will of God is my brother, my sister, and mother.”

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.

Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”

They abandoned the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and the idols, so wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness.

A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.

For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.

The priests didn’t say, ‘Where is Yahweh?’ and those who handle the law didn’t know me. The rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and followed things that do not profit.

They cry to me, ‘My God, we Israel acknowledge you!’

Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;

“A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, then where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is the respect due me? Says Yahweh of Armies to you, priests, who despise my name. You say, ‘How have we despised your name?’

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

“I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;

but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

“Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

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.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

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.

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

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

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.

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

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.

Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.

A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

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.
