Mark 10:18

John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

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.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

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.

They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Yahweh is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.

Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.

He prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please, Yahweh, wasn’t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.

This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

Yes, Yahweh will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him?

“For I, Yahweh, don’t change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.

It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him.

Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

For who is God, besides Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God?

and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

Don’t fear, neither be afraid. Haven’t I declared it to you long ago, and shown it? You are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? Indeed, there is not. I don’t know any other Rock.”

Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

He reveals the deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

“He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

There is no one as holy as Yahweh, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

Yahweh, God of Armies, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.

But you are the same. Your years will have no end.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

Israel, hope in Yahweh, for there is loving kindness with Yahweh. Abundant redemption is with him.

Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.

I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

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

Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

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.

He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

“ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited and the waste places will be built.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who does them will live by them.”

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

for our God is a consuming fire.

One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.

As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.

They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
