Psalms 5:4

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

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.”

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.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.

“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

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

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

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

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.

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

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

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says Yahweh, “so your offspring and your name shall remain.

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

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

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

“Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?

“Your words have been stout against me,” says Yahweh. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.”

Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

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

No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

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

Then the moon will be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and glory will be before his elders.

A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.

You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.

“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

The sun will be no more your light by day; nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

“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.”

Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

So then, let’s follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

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.

Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.

and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

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.

Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.

He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

But Yahweh said to Samuel, “Don’t look on his face, or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for I don’t see as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart.”

Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

“So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.

It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, “Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil.”

Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

You are witnesses with God how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

Yahweh saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

Yahweh examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

He who practices deceit won’t dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won’t be established before my eyes.

Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,

You have wearied Yahweh with your words. Yet you say, ‘How have we wearied him?’ In that you say, ‘Everyone who does evil is good in Yahweh’s sight, and he delights in them;’ or ‘Where is the God of justice?’

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
