for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will not be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

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

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

“Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them. He will guide them by springs of water.

“For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and cut out cisterns for themselves: broken cisterns that can’t hold water.

But he answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;

for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

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

He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,

by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned away.

You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

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.

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

Yet the righteous will hold to his way. He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

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.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
