Psalms 31:18

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with 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.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes won’t be harmed by the second death.

It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.

When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”

He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”

Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”

For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.

Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.

I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.

I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

For the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have clapped your hands, stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel;

Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”

Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

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

Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.

They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.

A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.

In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”

the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for Yahweh is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!”

May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.

The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
