Matthew 21:25

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’

You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.”

I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’

“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.

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who doesn’t believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son.

For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

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.”

Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

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.

before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

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?

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

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.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

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

He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”

They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

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

When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

We see that they weren’t able to enter in because of unbelief.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

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.

“To the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: “The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:

“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

You and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil. You shall serve. I give you the service of the priesthood as a gift. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”

He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?

For Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking Yahweh to anger.

He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,

the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”

They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

John testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’ ”

He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.”

He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.

When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed, and each as the Lord gave to him?

But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

knowing that such a one is perverted and sins, being self-condemned.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
