Philippians 3:10

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,

who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,

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.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

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.

God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

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.

They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

Moses said to Yahweh, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

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

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

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

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—

Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

“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.

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.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

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.

knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

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

For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

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

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

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

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear, which didn’t enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

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

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

Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

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

For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the power of God toward you.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.

He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with, but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”

When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
