Genesis
Creation
(Genesis 1:1-31)
(1) In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (2) And the earth was formless and void, and the
darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water.
(3) Then God said, "Let there be light", and there was light. (4) And God saw that the light was good; and
God separated the light from the darkness. (5) And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night.
And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
(6) Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from
the waters. (7) And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the
waters which were above the expanse, and it was so. (8) And God called the expanse heaven, and there was evening
and there was morning the second day.
(9) Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"
and it was so. (10) And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and
God saw that it was good. (11) Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation plants yielding seed, and fruit
trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth", and it was so. (12) And the earth brought
forth vegetation plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their
kind; and God saw that it was good. (13) And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
(14) Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let
them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; (15) and let them be for lights in the expanse of the
heavens to give light on the earth", and it was so. (16) And God made the two great lights, the greater light to
govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. (17) And God placed them in the
expanse of the heavens to give light on earth, (18) and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light
from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. (19) And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
(20) Then God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the
open expanse of the heavens. (21) And God created the great sea monsters, and every living creature that moves,
with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
(22) And God blessed them saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply
on the earth." (23) And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
(24) Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind; cattle and creeping things and
beasts of the earth after their kind", and it was so. (25) And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind,
and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. (26) The God said, "Let us
make man in Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the
cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
(27) And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
(28) And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it;
and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the
earth." (29) The God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the
all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; (30) and to every beast
of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given
every green plant for food", and it was so.
(31) God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning the sixth day.
Genesis (2:1-3)
(1) Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. (2) By the seventh day God had finished
the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. (3) And God blessed the seventh day
and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Gen 2:10-14
Mesopotamia: Tigris and Euphrates River
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.
11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12(The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second
river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is the
Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Adam and Eve
Genesis (1:27-29)
(27) And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
(28) And God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it;
and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the
earth." (29) The God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the
all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; (30) and to every beast
of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given
every green plant for food", and it was so.
Gen 2:15-20
15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you
must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely
die."
18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air.
He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature,
that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts
of the field.
Gen 2:21-24
21 And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh instead thereof:
22 and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall
be one flesh.

For, (said she), God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel;

7:1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found
you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and
its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every
kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days
from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights.
Then God said to Noah,
Ge 8:16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
Ge 8:17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all
the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and
increase in number upon it.”
Ge 8:18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
Ge 8:19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything
that moves on the earth—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
Ge 8:20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds,
he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
Ge 8:21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart:
Ge 8:22 “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and
night will never cease.”
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.
Ge 9:2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air,
upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands.
Ge 9:3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now
give you everything.
Genesis 9:12-17
God made a covenant with Noah
As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”
Ge 9:8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
Ge 9:9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you
Ge 9:10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals,
all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth.
Ge 9:11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never
again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
Ge 9:12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature
with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
Ge 9:13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
Ge 9:14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
Ge 9:15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will
the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
Ge 9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between
God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
Ge 9:17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Matthew 3:17
This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 5:24
After an argument go and be reconciled
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'
Lord's Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on
Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive
our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen
Matthew 6:25-33
Jesus promised that our material needs for food and clothing would always be provided to God’s children.
Mt 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as
well
Matthew 7:7
I looked for a man who would build up a wall and stand before me in the gap (Matthew 12:29)
Where two or three come together in My name there am I. Matthew 18:20
Matthew 7:24-25
Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them may be compared to a wise man who builds his house
on the rock. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and
yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Matthew 12:34
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Matthew 18
18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven?"
2 He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3 And he said: "I tell you the
truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom
of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.
5 "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. 6 But if
anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him
to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 "Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must
come, but woe to the man through whom they come! 8 If your hand or your foot causes
you to sin cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled
than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye
causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one
eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
10 "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their
angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
12 "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away,
will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off
13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the
ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not
willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
Matthew 18:19-20
If two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by my
Father. For where two or three have gathered together in my name, I am their in their mist.
Matthew 18:35
My heavenly Father will also do the same to you if each of your does not forgive his brother from your
heart.
Matthew 19
Mt 19:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of
Judea to the other side of the Jordan.
Mt 19:2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
Mt 19:3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his
wife for any and every reason?”
Mt 19:4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and
female,’
Mt 19:5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh’ ?
Mt 19:13 Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for
them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Mt 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of
heaven belongs to such as these.”
Mt 19:15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
Matthew 19:26
With God all things are possible
Matthew 22:37
Love the Lord your God will all your heart, will all your soul, and with all you mind. Love your
neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 25:35-36
For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to
drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in; naked and your clothed me; I was sick, and you
visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.
Matthew 26:33
Even though all may fall away because of you, I will never fall away. Even if I have to die with
you, I will not deny you.
Matthew 28
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Mark 4
The Parable of the Sower
Mk 4:1 Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large
that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the
water’s edge.
Mk 4:2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:
Mk 4:3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.
Mk 4:4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Mk 4:5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the
soil was shallow.
Mk 4:6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no
root.
Mk 4:7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear
grain.
Mk 4:8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty,
sixty, or even a hundred times.”
Mk 4:9 Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mk 4:10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.
Mk 4:11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the
outside everything is said in parables
Mk 4:12 so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never
understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’’”
Mk 4:13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand
any parable?
Mk 4:14 The farmer sows the word.
Mk 4:15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it,
Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Mk 4:16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.
Mk 4:17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes
because of the word, they quickly fall away.
Mk 4:18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;
Mk 4:19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in
and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
Mk 4:20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty,
sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.”
A Lamp on a Stand
Mk 4:21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you
put it on its stand?
Mk 4:22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be
brought out into the open.
Mk 4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mk 4:24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be
measured to you—and even more.
Mk 4:25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken
from him.”
The Parable of the Growing Seed
Mk 4:26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
Mk 4:27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does
not know how.
Mk 4:28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the
head.
Mk 4:29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
4:30-32 pp—Mt 13:31, 32; Lk 13:18, 19
Mk 4:30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to
describe it?
Mk 4:31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.
Mk 4:32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big
branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.”
Mk 4:33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could
understand.
Mk 4:34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own
disciples, he explained everything.
Jesus Calms the Storm
4:35-41 pp—Mt 8:18, 23-27; Lk 8:22-25
Mk 4:35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Mk 4:36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also
other boats with him.
Mk 4:37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
Mk 4:38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him,
“Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
Mk 4:39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down
and it was completely calm.
Mk 4:40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Mk 4:41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey
him!”
Mark 10:9
what God has joined together, let man not separate.
Luke (KJV) 2: 1-14
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 4:18-19
18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me: because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to
release the oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
Luke 6:27-28
Jesus called his follower to this kind of love and lover your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Luke 6:31
Do to others are you want them to do to you.
Luke 6:32-33
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Luke 6:35
Love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great,
and you will be sons of the Most high, for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Luke 10:27
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, your soul, your strength, your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
Luke 13:3
Lk 13:3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
Luke 15:7
Lk 15:7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who
repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Luke 15:20
While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him
and kissed him.
Luke 18:1
Jesus said to pray instead of quitting
Luke 19:10
Jesus has come to seek and to save you
Lk 24:47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.
Holy Spirit
* Spirit of God, Counselor, Spirit of the Sovereign Lord, Wisdom of God
John 3:8
Jn 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is
going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who
believes in me will never be thirsty."
John 6:35
Jesus said, "I am the vine you are the branches if a man remains in me and I in him he will bear
much fruit, apart from me you can do nothing."
This is a new commandment I give to you, Love one another as I have loved you. They will know
you as you love one another. John 8:31-32
Jesus said, "If you hold to my teachings then you are my disciples, then you will know the truth
and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one
another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:34-35
John 13:31-35
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” - John 13:31-35
John 14:1-31
1 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
4 And you know the way to where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.
30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,
31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus, John 14:27
The Vine and the Branches
Jn 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
Jn 15:2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so
that it will be even more fruitful.
Jn 15:3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Jn 15:4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.
Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
Jn 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:7
If you abide in me and my words abide in you ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.
Let the Holy Spirit guide
John 16:13
Jn 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will
speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
John 15
Jesus said, "If you remain in me and my words remain in you ask whatever you wish and it will be
given to you." John 15:5-7
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
John 15:8
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
John 15:9
When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes
out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you must also testify, for you have been with
me from the beginning. John 15:26-27
John 16:7-8
Ultimately we must depend on the Helper, the Holy Spirit to convict concerning sin.
John 17:11
Father, keep them in your name, the name which you have given me, that they may be one even as we are.
John 21:25
Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Future Glory
Ro 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be
revealed in us. Ro 8:19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
Ro 8:20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one
who subjected it, in hope Ro 8:21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay
and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Ro 8:22 We know that the whole
creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Ro 8:23 Not
only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly
for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. Ro 8:24 For in this hope we were saved.
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? Ro 8:25 But if we
hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Ro 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps
us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes
for us with groans that words cannot express. Ro 8:27 And he who searches our hearts knows the
mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.
More than Conquerors
Ro 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been
called according to his purpose.
Ro 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that
he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Ro 8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified,
he also glorified.
Ro 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Ro 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along
with him, graciously give us all things?
Ro 8:33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
Ro 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—
is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Ro 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or
famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Ro 8:36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be
slaughtered.”
Ro 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Ro 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present
nor the future, nor any powers,
Ro 8:39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the
love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 10:9
If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved
Romans 12
Spiritual Gifts
Romans 12:1-2
Living Sacrifices
Ro 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.
Ro 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and
perfect will.
Basic motivational gifts
Romans 12:3-8
Understanding the gifts God gives
Romans 12:3-15
Ro 12:3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than
you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith
God has given you.
Ro 12:4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have
the same function,
Ro 12:5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Ro 12:6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him
use it in proportion to his faith.
Ro 12:7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
Ro 12:8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give
generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Ro 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Ro 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Ro 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Ro 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Ro 12:13 Share with God people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Ro 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Ro 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Ro 12:16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with
people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Ro 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
Ro 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Ro 12:19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for Gods wrath, for it is written: ?t is
mine to avenge; I will repay, says the Lord.
Ro 12:20 On the contrary: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.
Ro 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 Corinthians 6:19
Keep our sexual experiences glorifying to Him.
1 Corinthians 6:20
You have been brought with a price
1 Corinthians 7
Marriage
1Co 7:1 Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry.
1Co 7:2 But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman
her own husband.
1Co 7:3 The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.
1Co 7:4 The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the
husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.
1Co 7:5 Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote
yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your
lack of self-control.
1Co 7:6 I say this as a concession, not as a command.
1Co 7:7 I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift,
another has that.
1Co 7:8 Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am.
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn
with passion.
1Co 7:10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her
husband.
1Co 7:11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a
husband must not divorce his wife.
1Co 7:12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she
is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
1Co 7:13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she
must not divorce him.
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife
has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but
as it is, they are holy.
1Co 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such
circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
1Co 7:16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know,
husband, whether you will save your wife?
1Co 7:17 Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to
which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.
1Co 7:18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become
uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised.
1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what
counts.
1Co 7:20 Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him.
1Co 7:21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain
your freedom, do so.
1Co 7:22 For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord’s freedman; similarly, he
who was a free man when he was called is Christ’s slave.
1Co 7:23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
1Co 7:24 Brothers, each man, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation God called him to.
1Co 7:25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by
the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy.
1Co 7:26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are.
1Co 7:27 Are you married? Do not seek a divorce. Are you unmarried? Do not look for a wife.
1Co 7:28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But
those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
1Co 7:29 What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should
live as if they had none;
1Co 7:30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who
buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep;
1Co 7:31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its
present form is passing away.
1Co 7:32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s
affairs—how he can please the Lord.
1Co 7:33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his
wife—
1Co 7:34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s
affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is
concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.
1Co 7:35 I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in
undivided devotion to the Lord.
1Co 7:36 If anyone thinks he is acting improperly toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if she is
getting along in years and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning.
They should get married.
1Co 7:37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but
has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also
does the right thing.
1Co 7:38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does even
better.
1Co 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to
marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
1Co 7:40 In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of
God.
1 Corinthians 1:10
Now I exhort your, brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be
no division among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 7:33-34
The good willed husband is concerned about how he may please his wife and the good willed wife is concerned
about how she may please her husband
1 Corinthians 11:11
In the Lord, neither woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
1 Corinthians 12:1-14:40
Spiritual Gifts
1Co 12:1 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
1Co 12:2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led
astray to mute idols.
1Co 12:3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be
cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
1Co 12:4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co 12:5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
1Co 12:6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
1Co 12:7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
1Co 12:8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of
knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
1Co 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
1Co 12:10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between
spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of
tongues.
1Co 12:11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as
he determines.
One Body, Many Parts
1Co 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many,
they form one body. So it is with Christ.
1Co 12:13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or
free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
1Co 12:14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.
1Co 12:15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not
for that reason cease to be part of the body.
1Co 12:16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would
not for that reason cease to be part of the body.
1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body
were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
1Co 12:18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted
them to be.
1Co 12:19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
1Co 12:20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
1Co 12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I
don’t need you!”
1Co 12:22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
1Co 12:23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts
that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
1Co 12:24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the
members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
1Co 12:25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern
for each other.
1Co 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with
it.
1Co 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
1Co 12:28 And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers,
then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with
gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?
1Co 12:30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret?
1Co 12:31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts.
Love
And now I will show you the most excellent way.
1Co 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding
gong or a clanging cymbal.
1Co 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a
faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1Co 13:3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I
gain nothing.
1Co 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
1Co 13:5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
1Co 13:6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
1Co 13:7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1Co 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues,
they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
1Co 13:10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I
became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
1Co 13:12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know
in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
1Co 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues
1Co 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
1Co 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one
understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
1Co 14:3 But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and
comfort.
1Co 14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
1Co 14:5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He
who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church
may be edified.
1Co 14:6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I
bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
1Co 14:7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will
anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
1Co 14:8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
1Co 14:9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know
what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
1Co 14:10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without
meaning.
1 Corinthians 16:13
Husbands should be strong.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
If any man be in Christ he is a new creation. Old things are passed away; behold, all things have
become new.
2 Corinthians 2:10
What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:14
Christ’s love compelled him
2 Corinthians 5:17
Walk by faith and not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:17
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors
2 Corinthians 5:20
I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls
2 Corinthians 12:15
We know all things work together for the good for those who love God, who are called according
to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
1 Thessalonians 3:12
Love is an exercise we are to abound in more and more
God’s will for you
1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
1Th 5:16 Be joyful always; 1Th 5:17 pray continually; 1Th 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this
is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1Th 5:19 Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; 1Th 5:20 do not treat
prophecies with contempt. 1Th 5:21 Test everything. Hold on to the good. 1Th 5:22 Avoid every kind
of evil.
Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians
Freedom in Christ
Galatians 1:3-5
Gal 1:3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, Gal 1:4 who gave
himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and
Father, Gal 1:5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Galatians 5:1 Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that
Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of
slavery
Galatians 5:22
True and lasting love, joy, and peace are found only in Him.
Galatians 6:2
Bear one another’s burdens and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Ephesians 1:3-7
Spiritual Blessings in Christ
Eph 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the
heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Eph 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
In love
Eph 1:5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his
pleasure and will—
Eph 1:6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the
riches of God’s grace
Ephesians 2
Made Alive in Christ
Eph 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
Eph 2:2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,
the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
Eph 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires
and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
Eph 2:4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
Eph 2:5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Eph 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness
to us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
Eph 2:9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us
to do.
Ephesians 3:19
God, who knows every secret about us, loves us at a depth we cannot begin to fathom
For by grace, you have been saved through faith, so that no man can boast. It is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.
One in Christ
Eph 2:11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call
themselves “the circumcision” (that done in the body by the hands of men)—
Eph 2:12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to
the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of
hostility,
Eph 2:15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself
one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
Eph 2:16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their
hostility.
Eph 2:17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Eph 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of
God’s household,
Eph 2:20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
Ephesians 3:17
It is the root and ground of our existences
Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely
more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.
Ephesians 3:20
Ephesians 4:11-16
Eph 4:11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to
be pastors and teachers,
Eph 4:12 to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
Eph 4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Eph 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by
every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
Eph 4:15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is,
Christ.
Eph 4:16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds
itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians 4:31
Eph 4:31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of
malice.
Ephesians 5:16
An understanding husband is making the most of his time.
Ephesians 5:21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:21-32
The greatest celebration of all time will occur when those who know and love Jesus Christ enter the heaven
to be with Him forever. It will be the consummation of our covenant of salvation, when the bride of Christ,
the church, will finally be with her beloved bridegroom.
Ephesians 5:22-33
The woman is now one in union with you, called to help, beautifully complete, and uniquely support you
as one who chooses to respect her husband the way the church respects Christ.
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and himself up for her.
Ephesians 5:25
The man is the spiritual leader of your new home, tasked with the responsibility of providing for your,
protecting your, and loving you just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
Freedom in Christ
Ephesians 5:27
The church as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Ephesians 5:28-29
Husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself, for
no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it.
Ephesians 6:7
Render service with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men.
Ephesians 6:10-20
The Armor of God
Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Eph 6:11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the
powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Eph 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your
ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in
place,
Eph 6:15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil
one.
Eph 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Eph 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for all the saints.
Eph 6:19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known
the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Ephesians 5:21-23
Eph 5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Wives and Husbands
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of
which he is the Savior.
Eph 6:14-18: 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the
breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes
from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Ephesians 5:33
Wives to show respect to their husbands
Galatians 5:1
Gal 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

Doing Good to All - Called to invest in other’s lives
Gal 6:1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch
yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. _

The Armor of God
Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Eph 6:11 Put on the full armor of God
so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this
dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph 6:13 Therefore put on
the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground,
and after you have done everything, to stand. Eph 6:14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth
buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, Eph 6:15 and with your
feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Eph 6:16 In addition to all this,
take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Eph 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Eph 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility in mind regard one another as more
important that yourselves.
Philippians 2:5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who in the very nature God, did not
consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he
humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted
him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and under the earth, and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God. And the peace of God, with transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And the God of peace will be with you.

Colossians 3
Rules for Holy Living
Col 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ
is seated at the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
Col 3:3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
Col 3:4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Col 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity,
lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Col 3:6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
Col 3:7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
Col 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and
filthy language from your lips.
Col 3:9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
Col 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its
Creator.
Col 3:11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or
free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Col 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Col 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.
Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Col 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Col 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to
peace. And be thankful.
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all
wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
Col 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him.
Rules for Christian Households

Col 3:21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Col 3:22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you
and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
Col 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
Col 3:24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord
Christ you are serving.
Col 3:25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

5 I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in
your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. 6 For this reason I remind you to
fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God did
not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me
in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us to a holy
life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace
was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through
the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an
apostle and a teacher. 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know
whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for
that day.

Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

mountain.
2Pe 1:19 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay
attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in
your hearts.
2Pe 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s
own interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were
carried along by the Holy Spirit.

because in this world we are like him.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The
one who fears is not made perfect in love.

We love, because he first loved us

Revelations 4: Vision of Heaven
John sees heaven
Rev 4:2-8
At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on
it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling
an emerald, encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and
seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on
their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before
the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. 6 Also before the throne
there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in
front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third
had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had
six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
Rev 4:9-11: Message for the Church: Worship God in heaven (God’s sovereignty)
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who
lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and
worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."
Revelations 5: Scroll and the Lamb (Christ’s return)
Rev 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.
Revelations 6: The Sealed book: Open 7 seals
Revelations 7:
Gave out to the 12 tribes, 144,000 seals
7:1
The Great Crowd
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds
of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree. 2 Then I saw
another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. He called out in a loud voice
to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea: 3 "Do not harm the land or the
sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God." 4 Then I heard the
number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.
5 From the tribe of Judah 12,000 were sealed,
from the tribe of Reuben 12,000,
from the tribe of Gad 12,000,
6 from the tribe of Asher 12,000,
from the tribe of Naphtali 12,000,
from the tribe of Manasseh 12,000,
7 from the tribe of Simeon 12,000,

from the tribe of Issachar 12,000,
8 from the tribe of Zebulun 12,000,
from the tribe of Joseph 12,000,
from the tribe of Benjamin 12,000.
9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation,
tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white
robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They
fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
"Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes ?who are they, and where did they come from?"
14 I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have
washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Revelations 8 & 9:
The seventh seal
Rev 8:1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
Rev 8:3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to
offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

his angels fought back.
Rev 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the
whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
Rev 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: Now have come the salvation and the power and the
kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them
before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
Rev 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love
their lives so much as to shrink from death.

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, 2 for true and just are his judgments.
3 And again they shouted:
"Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the
throne. And they cried: "Amen, Hallelujah!"
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
"Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!"
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals
of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has
made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
9 Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'"
And he added, "These are the true words of God."
Revelations 19: Rider on the White Horse
10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you
and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the
spirit of prophecy." 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is

11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called
Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on
him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen,
white and clean.

Revelations 21 (New Jerusalem)
Rev 21:1-3
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the
throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will
be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down,
for these words are trustworthy and true."
6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is
thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 He who overcomes will
inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me,
"Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a
mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a
jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at
the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three
gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the
city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.
16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and
found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 He measured its wall
and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall was made of
jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated
with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third
chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite,
the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city
was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light,
and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will
bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night
there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever
enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are
written in the Lamb's book of life.
River of Life
Revelations 22: Rev 22:1-7
22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the
throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the
river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the
leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne
of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
4 They will see his face,
and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of
a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and
ever.
6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the
prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."
Jesus is coming
7 "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."
12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has
done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go
through the gates into the city.
16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the
Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.

with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage each other with

Footnote (Rev 22:3):3 The Father’s house will be a happy home because there will be work to do there.
John wrote in Revelation 22:3 .His servants shall serve Him. Each one will be given exactly the task
that suits his power, his tastes, and his abilities. And the Father’s house will be a happy home
because friends will be there. Not one of us who enters the Father’s house will feel lonely or strange,
for we who have put our trust in Christ are part of His family, sharing, heaven’s joys and forever with
all our brothers and sisters in Christ.
