Psalms 1:6

“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.

I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.

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

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

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.

Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

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.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

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

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

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

Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

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

Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

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.”

He said to Korah and to all his company, “In the morning, Yahweh will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him. Even him whom he shall choose, he will cause to come near to him.

Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

My son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

“I know your works, your love, faith, service, patient endurance, and that your last works are more than the first.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

to the assembly of God which is at Corinth—those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

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.”

Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.

I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own;

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

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.

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.”

But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him.

He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.

You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.

The way of the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.

Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

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.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.

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.

But these speak evil of whatever things they don’t know. They are destroyed in these things that they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason.

Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, “Hasn’t Yahweh anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?

Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

He who heeds the Word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.

Don’t be a terror to me. You are my refuge in the day of evil.

Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, you knew my route. On the path in which I walk, they have hidden a snare for me.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

“Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

God saw the children of Israel, and God was concerned about them.

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 Yahweh your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, Yahweh your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.

Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

(let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know my integrity);

Yahweh preserves all those who love him, but he will destroy all the wicked.

that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.

The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

The way of the just is uprightness. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.

I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?

They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
