Those who hear the message about the Kingdom but do not understand it are like the seeds that fell along the path. The evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in them. The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who receive the message gladly as soon as they hear it. But it does not sink deep into them, and they don’t last long. So when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once. The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear the message; but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don’t bear fruit. And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it; they bear fruit, some as much as a hundred, others sixty, and others thirty.” |
Matthew 13:31-32 |

By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created… His invisible qualities, His eternal power and the mystery of His divine nature have been clearly seen… |
Romans 1:19-20 |

Romans 1:20 |
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. |

Certainly not! God must be true, even though every man is a liar. |
Romans 3:4 |
Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. |
Romans 3:20 |

Romans 3:25-26 |
God offered him, so that by His death He should become the means by which people’s sins are forgiven through their faith in Him. God did this in order to demonstrate that he is righteous. |
Romans 3:28 |
For we conclude that a person is put right with God only through faith and not by doing what the law commands. |
Romans 4:17-18 |
So the promise is good in the sight of God, in whom Abraham believed – the God who brings the dead to life and whose command brings into being what did not exist. |

Romans 4:21 |

Romans 4:25 |
Because of our sins He was handed over to die, and He was raised to life in order to put us right with God. |
Romans 5:3-4 |
We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God’s approval, and His approval creates hope. |
Romans 5:12 |
Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned. |
Romans 5:17 |

Romans 5:18 |
So then, as the one sin condemned all mankind, in the same way the one righteous act sets all mankind free and gives them life. |
Romans 5:19 |
And just as all people were made sinners as the result of the disobedience of one man, in the same way they will all be put right with God as the result of the obedience of the one man. |
Romans 6:23 |
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
Romans 8:1 |
There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus. |
Romans 8:16 |
God Himself declares that we are children of God |
Romans 8:17 |
For if we share Christ’s suffering, we will also share His glory. |
Romans 8:19-22 |
All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal His sons. For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope that creation itself would one day be set free from its slavery to decay and would share the glorious freedom of the children of God. For we know that up to the present time all of creation groans with pain, like the pain of childbirth. |
Romans 8:26 |
In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit Himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. |
Romans 8:27 |
And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of His people and in accordance with His will. |

Romans 8:31 |
If God is for us, who can be against us? |
Romans 8:35 |
Who then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death? |
Romans 8:38-39 |
For I am certain that nothing can separate us from His love; neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers; neither the present nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below. There is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord. |
Romans 10:1 |
My brothers, how I wish with all my heart that my own people might be saved. How I pray to God for them. |
Romans 10:3 |
They have not known the way in which God puts people right with Himself, and instead, they have tried to set up their own way; and so they did not submit themselves to God’s way of putting people right. |
Romans 10:4 |
For Christ has brought the Law to an end, so that everyone who believes is put right with God. |
Romans 10:9-10 |
If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; |
Romans 10:13 |
Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved. |
Romans 10:14 |
But how can they call to Him for help if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed? |
Romans 11:33 |
How great are God’s riches. How deep are His wisdom and knowledge. Who can explain His decisions? Who can understand His ways? |
Romans 11:34 |
As the Scriptures say, ‘Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give Him advice?’ |
Romans 11:35 |
Who has ever given Him anything, so that He had to pay it back? |
Romans 11:36 |
For all things were created by Him, and all things exist through Him and for Him. To God be the glory for ever. Amen. |
Romans 12:1 |
So then my brothers, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you. Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him. This is the true worship that you should offer. |
Romans 12:2 |
Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God – what is good and is pleasing to Him and is perfect. |
Romans 12:9 |
Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold onto what is good. |
Romans 12:10 |
Love one another warmly as Christian brothers and be eager to show respect for one another. |
Romans 12:11 |
Work hard and do not be lazy. Serve the Lord with a heart full of devotion. |
Romans 12:12 |
Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times. |

Instead, as the Scripture says, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will make him burn with shame.” |
Romans 12:21 |
Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good |

Every knee will bow before me and every tongue will confess that I am God. |
Romans 14:12 |
Every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God. |
Romans 15:4 |
Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us, in order that we might have hope through the patience and encouragement which the Scriptures give us. |
Romans 16:25 |
Let us give glory to God! He is able to make you stand firm in your faith according to the Good News I preach about Jesus Christ and according to the revelation of the secret truth which was hidden for long ages in the past. |
1 Corinthians 1:8 |
He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be faultless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
1 Corinthians 1:18 |
For the message about Christ’s death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is God’s power. |
1 Corinthians 1:20 |
God has shown that this world’s wisdom is foolishness. |
1 Corinthians 1:21 |
For God in His wisdom made it impossible for people to know Him by means of their own wisdom. Instead, by means of the so-called ‘foolish’ message we preach, God decided to save those who believe. |
1 Corinthians 1:24 |
But for those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, this message is Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God. |
1 Corinthians 1:25 |
For what seems to be God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God’s weakness is stronger than human strength. |
1 Corinthians 1:27 |
God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and He chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. |
1 Corinthians 1:28 |
He chose what the world looks down on and despises, and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important. |
1 Corinthians 2:9 |
What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love Him. |
1 Corinthians 3:7 |
The one who sows and the one who waters really do not matter. It is God who matters, because He makes the plant grow. |
1 Corinthians 3:19 |
For what this world considers to be wisdom is nonsense in God’s sight. |
1 Corinthians 4:7 |
Who made you superior to others? Didn’t God give you everything you have? Well then, how can you boast, as if what you have were not a gift? |
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 |
Flee from sexual immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body, but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body. Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; He bought you for a price. So glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. |
1 Corinthians 9:24 |
Surely you know that many runners take part in a race, but only one of them wins the prize. Run then, in such a way as to win the prize. |
1 Corinthians 9:25 |
Every athlete in training submits to strict discipline, in order to be crowned with a wreath that will not last; but we do it for one that will last for ever. |
1 Corinthians 10:13 |
Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps His promise and He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, He will give you the strength to endure it and so provide you with a way out. |
1 Corinthians 10:31 |
…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
1 Corinthians 12:7 |
The Spirit’s presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all. |
1 Corinthians 12:12 |
Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts. |
1 Corinthians 12:18-19 |
As it is however, God put every different part in the body just as He wanted it to be. There would not be a body if it were all only one part! |
1 Corinthians 12:26 |
If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness. |
1 Corinthians 12:27 |
All of you are Christ’s body and each one is a part of it. |
1 Corinthians 13:1 |
I may be able to speak the languages of men and even of angels, but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy going or a clanging bell. |
1 Corinthians 13:2 |
I may have the gift of inspired preaching; I may have all knowledge and understand all secrets; I may have all the faith needed to move mountains – but if I have no love, I am nothing. |
1 Corinthians 13:3 |
I may give away everything I have and even give up my body to be burnt – but if I have no love, this does me no good. |
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 |
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up and it’s faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal. |
1 Corinthians 13:9-10 |
For our gifts of knowledge and of inspired messages are only partial; but when what is perfect comes, then what is partial will disappear. |
1 Corinthians 13:11 |
When I was a child, my speech, feelings and thinking were all those of a child; now that I am a man, I have no more use for childish ways. |
1 Corinthians 13:12 |
What we see now is like a dim image in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. What I know now is only partial; then it will be complete – as complete as God’s knowledge of me. |
1 Corinthians 13:13 |
Meanwhile these three remain; faith, hope and love; and the greatest of these is love. |
1 Corinthians 14:1 |
It is love, then that you should strive for. |
1 Corinthians 15:14 |
And if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe. |
1 Corinthians 15:17 |
And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is a delusion and you are still lost in your sins. |
1 Corinthians 15:19 |
If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world. |
1 Corinthians 15:20 |
But the truth is that Christ has been raised from death, as the guarantee that those who sleep in death will also be raised. |
1 Corinthians 15:22 |
For just as all people die because of their union with Adam, in the same way all will be raised to life because of their union with Christ. |
1 Corinthians 15:23 |
But each one will be raised in his proper order: Christ, first of all; then at the time of His coming, those who belong to Him. |
1 Corinthians 15:24 |
Then the end will come; Christ will overcome all spiritual rulers, authorities and powers and will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father. |
1 Corinthians 15:26 |
The last enemy to be defeated will be death. |
1 Corinthians 15:33 |
Do not be fooled. Bad companions ruin good character. |
1 Corinthians 15:42-43 |
This is how it will be when the dead are raised to life. When the body is buried, it is mortal; when raised, it will be immortal. When buried, it is ugly and weak; when raised, it will be beautiful and strong. |
1 Corinthians 15:49 |
Just as we wear the likeness of the man made of earth, so we will wear the likeness of the Man from heaven. |
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 |
Listen to this secret truth: we shall not all die, but when the last trumpet sounds, we shall all be changed in an instant, as quickly as the blinking of an eye. For the trumpet sounds, the dead will be raised, never to die again and we shall all be changed. |
1 Corinthians 15:58 |
So then, my dear brothers, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord’s service is ever useless. |
1 Corinthians 16:9 |
There is a real opportunity here for great and worthwhile work, even though there are many opponents. |
1 Corinthians 16:13 |
Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong. |
1 Corinthians 16:14 |
Whatever you do, do it with kindness and love. |
2 Corinthians 1:11 |
So it will be that the many prayers for us will be answered and God will bless us; and many will raise their voices to Him in thanksgiving for us. |
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 |
It is God Himself who has set us apart, who has placed His mark of ownership upon us, and who has given us the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the guarantee of all that He has in store for us. |
2 Corinthians 3:5 |
There is nothing in us that allows us to claim that we are capable of doing this work. The capacity we have comes from God. |
2 Corinthians 3:18 |
All of us, then, reflect the glory of the Lord with uncovered faces; and that same glory, coming from the Lord, who is the Spirit, transforms us into His likeness in an ever greater degree of glory. |
2 Corinthians 4:9 |
There are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed. |
2 Corinthians 4:17 |
These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won’t last very long. Yet this short time of distress will result in God’s richest blessing upon us forever & ever. |
2 Corinthians 4:18 |
So we do not look at what we can see right now, the troubles all around us, but we look forward to the joys in Heaven which we have not yet seen. The troubles will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever. |
2 Corinthians 5:15 |
Chris Jesus died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for Him who died and was raised to life for their sake. |
2 Corinthians 5:17 |
When anyone is joined to Christ, he is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come. |
2 Corinthians 5:18 |
All this is done by God, who through Christ, changed us from enemies into His friends and gave us the task of making others His friends also. |
2 Corinthians 5:20 |
We plead on Christ’s behalf: let God change you from enemies into His friends. |
2 Corinthians 5:21 |
Christ was without sin, but for our sake God made Him share our sin in order that in union with Him we might share the righteousness of God. |
2 Corinthians 5:21 |
God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. |
2 Corinthians 6:2 |
Listen! This is the hour to receive God’s favour; today is the day to be saved! |
2 Corinthians 6:4 |
Instead, in everything we do we show that we are God’s servants by patiently enduring troubles, hardships, and difficulties. |
2 Corinthians 6:10 |
Although saddened, we are always glad; we seem poor, but we make many people rich; we seem to have nothing, yet we really possess everything. |
2 Corinthians 6:14 |
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? |
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 |
Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together? How can Christ and the devil agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? |
2 Corinthians 6:16 |
For we are the temple of the Living God. As God Himself has said, “I will make My home with My people and live among them; I will be their God and they shall be my people.” |
2 Corinthians 6:18 |
I will be Your Father and you shall be My sons and daughters. |
2 Corinthians 7:1 |
All these promises are made to us, my dear friends. So then, let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God. |
2 Corinthians 7:10 |
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. |
2 Corinthians 7:10 |
For the sadness that is used by God brings a change of heart that leads to salvation… |
2 Corinthians 8:9 |
You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; rich as He was, He made Himself poor for your sake, in order to make you rich by means of His poverty. |
2 Corinthians 8:12 |
If you are eager to give, God will accept your gift on the basis of what you have to give, not on what you haven’t. |
2 Corinthians 8:21 |
Our purpose is to do what is right; not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of man. |
2 Corinthians 9:6 |
Remember that the person who sows few seeds will have a small crop; the one who sows many seeds will have a large crop. |
2 Corinthians 9:7 |
Each one should give then, as he has decided, not with regret or our of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly. |
2 Corinthians 9:8 |
And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause. |
2 Corinthians 9:10 |
And God, who supplies seed to sow and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity. |
2 Corinthians 9:11 |
God will always make you rich enough to be generous at all times, so that many will thank God for your gifts which they receive from us. |
2 Corinthians 9:15 |
Let us thank God for His priceless gift! |
2 Corinthians 10:4 |
The weapons we use in our fight are not the world’s weapons but God’s powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. |
2 Corinthians 10:5 |
We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ. |
2 Corinthians 10:18 |
For it is when the Lord thinks well of a person that he is really approved, and not when he thinks well of himself. |
2 Corinthians 11:14 |
Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light! |
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 |
Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked Him to take it away. But His answer was: “My grace is all you need, for my power is strongest when you are weak.” |
Galatians 1:15 |
But God in His grace chose me even before I was born, and called me to serve Him. |
Galatians 2:16 |
Yet we know that a person is put right with God only through faith in Jesus Christ, never by doing what the Law requires. |
Galatians 2:20 |
It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. |
Galatians 2:21 |
I refuse to reject the grace of God. But if a person is put right with God through the Law, it means that Christ died for nothing! |
Galatians 3:10 |
Those who depend on obeying the Law live under a curse. For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the law if under God’s curse!’ |
Galatians 3:11 |
Now, it is clear that no one is put right with God by means of the Law, because the Scripture says, ‘Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live.’ |
Galatians 3:22 |
But the Scripture says that the whole world is under the power of sin; and so the gift which is promised on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ is given to those who believe. |
Galatians 3:26 |
It is through faith that all of you are God’s sons in union with Christ Jesus. |
Galatians 4:4-5 |
But when the right time finally came, God sent His own Son. He came as the son of a human mother and lived under the Jewish Law, to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might become God’s sons. |
Galatians 4:6 |
To show that you are His sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cried out, ‘Father, my Father’. |
Galatians 5:1 |
Freedom is what we have – Christ has set us free! Stand then, as free people and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again. |
Galatians 5:13 |
You were called to be free. But do not let this freedom become an excuse for letting your physical desires control you. Instead, let love make you serve one another. |
Galatians 5:14 |
For the whole law is summed up in one commandment: Love your neighbour as you love yourself. |
Galatians 5:22-23 |
But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control. There is no law against such things as these. |
Galatians 5:25 |
The Spirit has given us life; He must also control our lives. |
Galatians 6:2 |
Help to carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ. |
Galatians 6:4 |
Each one should judge his own conduct. If it is good, then he can be proud of what he himself has done, without having to compare it with what someone else has done. |
Galatians 6:7 |
Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. A person will reap exactly what he sows. |
Galatians 6:8 |
If he sows in the field of his natural desires, from it he will gather the harvest of death; if he sows in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit he will gather the harvest of eternal life. |
Galatians 6:9 |
So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. |
Galatians 6:10 |
So then, as often as we have the chance, we should do good to everyone, and especially to those who belong to our family in the faith. |
Galatians 6:14 |
As for me however, I will boast only about the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; for by means of His cross the world is dead to me and I am dead to the world. |

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, my brothers. Amen. |
Ephesians 1:2 |
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. |

Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For in our union with Christ He has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world. |
Ephesians 1:4 |
God chose you to be His, before the creation of the world. |
Ephesians 1:4 |
Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be His through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before Him in love. |
Ephesians 1:5 |
Because of His love, God had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us His sons – this was His pleasure and purpose. |
Ephesians 1:6 |
Let us praise God for His glorious grace, for the free gift He gave us in His dear Son! |
Ephesians 1:7 |
For by the death of Christ, we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God, which He gave to us in such large measure. |
Ephesians 1:10 |
When the time is ripe He will gather us all together from wherever we are—in Heaven or on earth—to be with Him in Christ, forever. |
Ephesians 1:10 |
This plan, which God will complete when the time is right, is to bring all creation together, everything in Heaven and on earth, with Christ as head. |
Ephesians 1:11 |

Ephesians 1:11 |

Ephesians 1:13 |
And you also became God’s people when you heard the true message, the Good News that brought you salvation. You believed in Christ, and God put His stamp of ownership on you by giving you the Holy Spirit He had promised. |
Ephesians 1:15-16 |
For this reason, ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks to God for you, I remember you in my prayers. |
Ephesians 1:17 |
I ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, to give you the Spirit, who will make you wise and reveal God to you, so that you will know Him. |
Ephesians 1:18 |
I ask that your minds may be opened to see His light, so that you will know what is the hope to which He has called you, how rich are the wonderful blessings He promises His people. |
Ephesians 1:19-20 |
And how very great is His power at work in us who believe. This power working in us is the same as the mighty strength which He used when He raised Christ from death and seated Him at His right side in the Heavenly world. |
Ephesians 1:21 |
Christ rules there above all heavenly rulers, authorities, powers and lords; He has a title superior to all titles of authority in this world and in the next. |
Ephesians 2:4-5 |
But God’s mercy is so abundant, and His love for us is so great, that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience He brought us to life with Christ. It is by God’s grace that you have been saved. |
Ephesians 2:8-9 |
For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast about it. |
Ephesians 2:10 |
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God has already prepared in advance for us to do. |

May you come to know His love – although it can never be fully known – and so be completely filled with the very nature of God |
Ephesians 3:20 |
To Him, who by means of His power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of. |
Ephesians 3:21 |
To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, for ever and ever. Amen. |
Ephesians 4:2 |
Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another. |
Ephesians 4:6 |
There is one God and Father of all mankind, who is Lord of all, works through all and is in all. |
Ephesians 4:23 |
Your hearts and minds must be made completely new. |

And you must put on the new self, which is created in God’s likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy. |

You are always in my heart. |
Philippians 1:8 |
God is my witness that I am telling the truth when I say that my deep feeling for you all comes from the heart of Christ Jesus himself. |
Philippians 1:9-10 |
I pray that your love will keep on growing more and more, together with true knowledge and perfect judgement, so that you will be able to choose what is best. Then you will be free from all impurity and blame on the Day of Christ. |
Philippians 1:11 |
Your lives will be filled with the truly good qualities which only Jesus Christ can produce, for the glory and praise of God. |
Philippians 1:20 |
My deep desire and hope is that I shall never fail in my duty, but that at all times, and especially just now, I shall be full of courage, so that with my whole being I shall bring honour to Christ, whether I live or die. |
Philippians 1:21 |
For what is life? To me, it is Christ. Death, then, will bring more. |
Philippians 1:21 |
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. |
Philippians 1:27 |
Fight together for the faith of the Gospel. |
Philippians 1:28 |
Don’t be afraid of your enemies; always be courageous, and this will prove to them that they will lose and that you will win, because it is God who gives you the victory. |
Philippians 1:29 |
For you have been given the privilege of serving Christ, not only by believing in Him, but also by suffering for Him. |
Philippians 2:5-11 |
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Who being in 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 on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
Philippians 2:13 |
God is always at work in you to make you willing and able to obey His own purpose. |
Philippians 2:14-15 |
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may be innocent and pure as God’s perfect children, who live in a world of corrupt and sinful people. You must shine among them like stars lighting up the sky. |
Philippians 3:7 |
But all those things that I might count as profit I now reckon as loss for Christ’s sake. |
Philippians 3:9 |
I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith. |
