And if I Say the Truth, Why do you not Believe me? - Joh 8:46 Jesus spends more time trying to get through to them. He reasons with them about the Law and how that He was guiltless.

And they stirred up the People, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, - Act 6:12 And all that Sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an Angel . - Act 6:15 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from there, when his Father was Dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell. - Act 7:4 And he gave him none Inheritance in it, No, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would Give it to him for a possession, and to his Seed after him, when as yet he had no Child . - Act 7:5 For Unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were Healed . - Act 8:7 But Saul increased the more in Strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ . - Act 9:22 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, - Act 10:10 And he said unto them, You Know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep Company, or come unto one of another Nation; but God has showed me that I should not call any man common or Unclean . - Act 10:28 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed unto Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus. - Act 13:4 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and you that Fear God, Give audience. - Act 13:16 And there sailed to Antioch, from where they had been recommended to the Grace of God for the Work which they fulfilled. - Act 14:26 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: - Act 15:19 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days. - Act 16:12 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? no truly; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. - Act 16:37 Then certain Philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What Will this babbler Say ? other some, He seems to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the Resurrection . - Act 17:18 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your Blood be upon your own heads; I am Clean: from henceforth I Will go unto the Gentiles . - Act 18:6 And he departed there, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. - Act 18:7 And Paul after this tarried there yet a Good while, and then took his leave of the brothers, and sailed there into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. - Act 18:18 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke Boldly for the space of Three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God . - Act 19:8 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the Great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be Destroyed, whom all Asia and the World worships. - Act 19:27 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the People . - Act 19:33 And when the townclerk had appeased the People, he said, You men of Ephesus, what man is there that knows not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the Great goddess Diana, and of the Image which fell down from Jupiter? - Act 19:35 But if you enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. - Act 19:39 For we are in danger to be Called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may Give an account of this concourse. - Act 19:40 And we sailed there, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus. - Act 20:15 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from there unto Patara: - Act 21:1 Them take, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may Know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walks orderly, and keeps the Law . - Act 21:24 As touching the Gentiles which Believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, Save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from Blood, and from strangled, and from Fornication . - Act 21:25 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the Violence of the People . - Act 21:35 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the People . And when there was made a Great silence, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew Tongue, saying, - Act 21:40 Men, brothers, and fathers, Hear you my defence which I make now unto you. - Act 22:1 (And when they Heard that he spoke in the Hebrew Tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he says), - Act 22:2 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; - Act 22:17 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get you quickly out of Jerusalem: for they Will not Receive your Testimony concerning me. - Act 22:18 And they gave him audience unto this Word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the Earth: for it is not fit that he should Live . - Act 22:22 And as they Bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? - Act 22:25 On the morrow, because he would have known the Certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief Priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them. - Act 22:30 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brothers, I have lived in all Good Conscience before God until this day. - Act 23:1 Now therefore you with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though you would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to Kill him. - Act 23:15 And he said, The Jews have agreed to Desire you that you would bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. - Act 23:20 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: - Act 23:28 And when the governor had Read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he Understood that he was of Cilicia; - Act 23:34 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto you, I Pray you that you would Hear us of your clemency a few words. - Act 24:4 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with Great Violence took him away out of our hands, - Act 24:7 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have Liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to Minister or come unto him. - Act 24:23 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and Heard him concerning the Faith in Christ . - Act 24:24 Now when Festus was come into the province, after Three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem. - Act 25:1 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Have you appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shall you go. - Act 25:12 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to Deliver any man to Die, before that he which is accused have the Accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for Himself concerning the crime laid against him. - Act 25:16 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with Great pomp, and was entered into the Place of Hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' Commandment Paul was brought forth. - Act 25:23 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. - Act 27:2 And when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. - Act 27:4 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart there also, if by any means they Might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west. - Act 27:12 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their Purpose, loosing there, they sailed close by Crete. - Act 27:13 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. - Act 27:21 Then fearing lest we should have Fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. - Act 27:29 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, - Act 27:30 And when they had taken up the anchors, they Committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. - Act 27:40 And falling into a Place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck Fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the Violence of the waves. - Act 27:41 And when the Barbarians saw the venomous Beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No Doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not to Live . - Act 28:4 And from there we fetched a Compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: - Act 28:13 And from there, when the brothers Heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The Three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took Courage . - Act 28:15 And they said unto him, We neither Received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the brothers that came showed or spoke any harm of you. - Act 28:21 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the Kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the Law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. - Act 28:23 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the Lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: - Rom 1:24 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their Lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and Receiving in themselves that recompence of their Error which was deserved. - Rom 1:27 For circumcision truly profits, if you keep the Law: but if you be a breaker of the Law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision. - Rom 2:25 A servant of the Law must keep the whole Law flawlessly. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the Righteousness of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? - Rom 2:26 And shall not uncircumcision which is by Nature, if it fulfil the Law, Judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the Law ? - Rom 2:27 Therefore we conclude that a man is Justified by Faith without the Deeds of the Law . - Rom 3:28 Justification by Faith alone. Nothing is needed. Nothing is is wanted. Nothing else is accepted. Comes this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we Say that Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness . - Rom 4:9 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. - Rom 4:10 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. - Rom 4:25 For in that he died, he died unto Sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto God . - Rom 6:10 But Sin, taking occasion by the Commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the Law Sin was Dead . - Rom 7:8 The Law fanned the flame of Saul's sexual drive. Without the Law, though, there was no Sin . For I was Alive without the Law once: but when the Commandment came, Sin revived, and I died. - Rom 7:9 Before Saul was taight the Law he was Alive, excited and though he was Free . When he was taught the Law he realized that his behaviour was unacceptable to God . And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our Father Isaac; - Rom 9:10 Jacob and Esau provided yet another example of how genetics are not the deciding factor with God, It is the Heart of the individual toward His Promises that matters. Isaiah also wants concerning Israel, Though the number of the Children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be Saved: - Rom 9:27 Paul is trying to process the fact that his preaching of the Gospel in the Synagogues was producing so little fruit. A remnant? John saw clearly what was happening in Jesus' day and which continued into the early church. John said "They loved Darkness rather than Light because their deeds were Evil" . Joh 3:19 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and Rock of Offence: and whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed. - Rom 9:33 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is Rich unto all that call upon him. - Rom 10:12 And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a Stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: - Rom 11:9 And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive Tree, were graffed in among them, and with them partake of the Root and fatness of the olive Tree; - Rom 11:17 Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bear not the Root, but the Root you. - Rom 11:18 You will Say then, The branches were broken off, that I Might be graffed in. - Rom 11:19 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you. - Rom 11:21 For if you were cut out of the olive Tree which is wild by Nature, and were graffed contrary to Nature into a Good olive Tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive Tree ? - Rom 11:24 For I would not, brothers, that you should be Ignorant of this Mystery, lest you should be Wise in your own conceits; that Blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. - Rom 11:25 Paul is prophesying that there is a number of Gentiles who will be Saved . After that number is reached, the HolySpirit will draw Israel to Christ and their Eyes will be opened. Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: he that gives, let him do it with Simplicity; he that rules, with Diligence; he that shows Mercy, with cheerfulness. - Rom 12:8 It is truly a wonderful thing to be partners with the HolySpirit . He is the Power and the Wisdom and we are the vessels. Be of the same Mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not Wise in your own conceits. - Rom 12:16 Don't be a respecter of persons but be quick to lift those up who are at a lower estate. Wisdom is of God, It you have it, you got it from Him. Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brothers which are with them. - Rom 16:14 For your Obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am Glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you Wise unto that which is Good, and simple concerning Evil . - Rom 16:19 That in every thing you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all Knowledge; - 1Co 1:5 So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the Increase . - 1Co 3:7 Now concerning the things whereof you wrote unto me: It is Good for a man not to Touch a woman. - 1Co 7:1 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. - 1Co 7:3 Defraud you not one the other, except it be with consent for a Time, that you may Give yourselves to Fasting and Prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. - 1Co 7:5 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be Reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. - 1Co 7:11 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be Holy both in Body and in Spirit: but she that is married cares for the things of the World, how she may please her husband. - 1Co 7:34 But if any man Think that he behaves Himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and Need so require, let him do what he Will, he sins not: let them marry. - 1Co 7:36 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in Sacrifice unto idols, we Know that an Idol is nothing in the World, and that there is none other God but one. - 1Co 8:4 For if any man See you which have Knowledge sit at Meat in the Idol's temple, shall not the Conscience of him which is Weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; - 1Co 8:10 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so Fight I, not as one that beats the air: - 1Co 9:26 If any of them that Believe not bid you to a feast, and you be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, Asking no question for Conscience sake. - 1Co 10:27 But if any man Say unto you, This is offered in Sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for Conscience sake: for the Earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: - 1Co 10:28 Now I Praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. - 1Co 11:2 But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. - 1Co 11:5 And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my Body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. - 1Co 11:24 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the New testament in my Blood: this do you, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. - 1Co 11:25 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord . - 1Co 12:5 And even things without Life Giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they Give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? - 1Co 14:7 But if all Prophesy, and there come in one that believes not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: - 1Co 14:24 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brothers at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this Present, but some are Fallen asleep. - 1Co 15:6 And that which you sow, you sow not that Body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of Wheat, or of some other grain: - 1Co 15:37 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given Order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do you. - 1Co 16:1 But we had the sentence of Death in ourselves, that we should not Trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the Dead: - 2Co 1:9 I had no Rest in my Spirit, because I Found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from there into Macedonia. - 2Co 2:13 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to Think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; - 2Co 3:5 But if the ministration of Death, written and engraven in stones, was Glorious, so that the Children of Israel could not stedfastly Behold the face of Moses for the Glory of his countenance; which Glory was to be done away: - 2Co 3:7 For we that are in this Tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality Might be swallowed up of Life . - 2Co 5:4 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but Give you occasion to Glory on our behalf, that you may have somewhat to answer them which Glory in appearance, and not in Heart . - 2Co 5:12 And that he died for all, that they which Live should not henceforth Live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. - 2Co 5:15 And what concord has Christ with Belial ? or what part has he that believes with an infidel? - 2Co 6:15 Now therefore perform the Doing of it; that as there was a readiness to Will, so there may be a Performance also out of that which you have. - 2Co 8:11 But by an equality, that now at this Time your Abundance may be a supply for their want, that their Abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: - 2Co 8:14 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this Abundance which is administered by us: - 2Co 8:20 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the Great Confidence which I have in you. - 2Co 8:22 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brothers be enquired of, they are the messengers of the Churches, and the Glory of Christ . - 2Co 8:23 Do you look on things after the outward appearance? If any man Trust to Himself that he is Christ's, let him of Himself Think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. - 2Co 10:7 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having Hope, when your Faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our Rule Abundantly, - 2Co 10:15 Three times was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, three times I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; - 2Co 11:25 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the Abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the Flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. - 2Co 12:7 A 'messenger' buffeted Paul. Messengers bring words. I suspect the words that Satan sent were attacks by believers and unbelieving Jews against his Revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ . But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me: God accepts no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: - Gal 2:6 Those Apostles who had not received the Revelation of Grace brought nothing to the table in their conferencing with Paul. But contrariwise, when they saw that the Gospel of the uncircumcision was Committed unto me, as the Gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; - Gal 2:7 They were convinced that the ministry of uncircumcision had been given to Paul. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my Body the marks of the Lord Jesus . - Gal 6:17 Beleivers are troubled by people who inject Legalism into Christianity . Reprove such false teachers of the error rather than letting the trouble you. Wherein he has abounded toward us in all Wisdom and prudence; - Eph 1:8 In His Grace we abound in His Wisdom enabling us to make prudent choices. In whom also we have obtained an Inheritance, being predestinated according to the Purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own Will: - Eph 1:11 Wherefore remember, that you being in Time past Gentiles in the Flesh, who are Called Uncircumcision by that which is Called the Circumcision in the Flesh made by hands; - Eph 2:11 There used to be a Physical separation between Jew and Gentile by virtue of the promise to Abraham and its sign, Circumcision. That we henceforth be no more Children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of Doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they Lie in wait to Deceive; - Eph 4:14 Exagerating the importance of minor Theological differences is the work of Satan through Christians . Paul is telling us to grow up and stop paying attention to the deviant Doctrines whom Satan has authored and inspired men to promote for the purpose of Deceit and Division . From whom the Whole Body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes Increase of the Body unto the Edifying of itself in Love . - Eph 4:16 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to Work all uncleanness with greediness. - Eph 4:19 And because of the Darkness they flounder around through life giving themselves over to the Lusts of the Flesh, becoming more and more animalistic and selfish. That you put off concerning the former Conversation the old man, which is Corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; - Eph 4:22 We have to willingly and purposefully put off the OldMan because, though he is Dead, his memory is still in our Minds and our muscle memory contains his tendencies and habits. Even as it is meet for me to Think this of you all, because I have you in my Heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my Grace . - Phi 1:7 The church at Phillipi had supported Paul's ministry while he was at Philipi and when he left to minister in other towns. In partnering with those in the Ministry we are partakers of their Ministry and Grace . That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without Offence till the day of Christ; - Phi 1:10 As we Grow in Grace and Knowledge of Christ we are better prepared to recognize those things which are Excellent and those which are tainted. In addition we become more Sincere and more cautious of offending the Weak . Beware of dogs, beware of Evil workers, beware of the concision. - Phi 3:2 Dogs are Animals who are 100 percent Carnal . People in the ministry who are Dogs are people who see the Gospel as just another thing that can be used for self aggrandizement. Evil workers are those who actually believe the Lies of Satan and are working directly in opposition to God . Those Jewish Christians who were trying to force Gentile Christians to be Circumcised were Evil workers. They were corrupting the Gospel of Christ putting new wine in old bottles and sowing new cloth into an old garment. Now you Philippians Know also, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no Church communicated with me as concerning Giving and Receiving, but you only. - Phi 4:15 Unfortunately, it appears that only the church at Phillipi supported Paul's Ministry . For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again unto my necessity. - Phi 4:16 The Phillipians were constant in their support even while he was ministering in other churches. And he is the head of the Body, the Church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the Dead; that in all things he Might have the preeminence. - Col 1:18 Jesus is the Head of Church and He is preeminate in all things. And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and Power: - Col 2:10 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the Way, nailing it to his Cross; - Col 2:14 And not holding the Head, from which all the Body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increases with the Increase of God . - Col 2:19 For yourselves, brothers, Know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in Vain: - 1Th 2:1 For our exhortation was not of Deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: - 1Th 2:3 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. - 1Th 2:18 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us Good tidings of your Faith and Love, and that you have Good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to See us, as we also to See you: - 1Th 3:6 And indeed you do it toward all the brothers which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brothers, that you Increase more and more; - 1Th 4:10 But I would not have you to be Ignorant, brothers, concerning them which are asleep, that you Sorrow not, even as others which have no Hope . - 1Th 4:13 Abstain from all appearance of Evil . - 1Th 5:22 It it stinks, hold your nose. If it is bitter, spit it out. If it is crass, close you ears. If it is ugly, close your eyes. If it hurts, push it away. Phi 4:8 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. - 1Ti 2:11 But I Suffer not a woman to Teach, nor to Usurp Authority over the man, but to be in silence. - 1Ti 2:12 Paul is stating his opinion which has some merit since women are in general less rigorous in their thoughts and ideas. I Thank God, whom I Serve from my forefathers with Pure Conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of you in my Prayers night and day; - 2Ti 1:3 It is a blessing to be prayed for by others and to pray for others. When I call to remembrance the unfeigned Faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your Mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in you also. - 2Ti 1:5 Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the Gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands. - 2Ti 1:6 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they Strive not about Words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. - 2Ti 2:14 Don't get caught up in ancillary Theological issues which undermine Unity and provide not Power . Without natural Affection, trucebreakers, False accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are Good, - 2Ti 3:3 Natural Affection is wholesome, tender, warming and selfless. The Affection of the self-worshipper is the opposite. We are seeing Hate toward those who Love God . Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the Truth: men of Corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the Faith . - 2Ti 3:8 Do your Diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers. - 2Ti 4:21 In all things showing yourself a pattern of Good works: in Doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, - Tit 2:7 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by Inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they. - Heb 1:4 For both he that sanctifies and they who are Sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers, - Heb 2:11 Though he were a Son, yet learned he Obedience by the things which he suffered; - Heb 5:8 Not only the anguish of the Cross, but rejection and false accusation were His lot. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto Repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. - Heb 6:6 For he of whom these things are Spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the Altar . - Heb 7:13 Our Lord came out of the tribe of Judah through Mary. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning Priesthood . - Heb 7:14 The Aaronic priesthood was assigned to the tribe of Levi. Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up Sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the People's: for this he did once, when he offered up Himself . - Heb 7:27 For the Law makes men high Priests which have Infirmity; but the Word of the oath, which was since the Law, makes the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. - Heb 7:28 Jesus is so far superior to the Levitical priesthood there is actually no comparison. For if the Blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the Unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the Flesh: - Heb 9:13 How many animals were slaughtered in Sacrifice and all of it together was insuffience to Save a single person.. So Christ was once offered to bear the Sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second Time without Sin unto Salvation . - Heb 9:28 We look for Him in coming to Him and being InChrist . For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more Conscience of sins. - Heb 10:2 But in those Sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of Sins every year. - Heb 10:3 The remembrance of Sin is depressing because of the Guilt that it brings. This was the consciousness of the Jews - depressing Guilt . Depression and Guilt destroy Life and therefore had to be removed in order for AbundantLife to manifest in us. But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a Great Fight of afflictions; - Heb 10:32 Persecution for Christ's sake is the affliction that Paul speaks of. For you had Compassion of me in my bonds, and took Joyfully the spoiling of your goods, Knowing in yourselves that you have in Heaven a better and an enduring Substance . - Heb 10:34 They had supported Paul through his trials for which they will be rewarded. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from where they came out, they Might have had opportunity to have returned. - Heb 11:15 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the Dead; from where also he Received him in a figure. - Heb 11:19 Abraham's body was Dead when Isaac was conceived so Abraham knew that Death was not an issue for God . By Faith Isaac Blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. - Heb 11:20 Isaac committed the Promise that was given to Abraham and from Abraham to himself to his sons by Faith that God would fuffill it. By Faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the Children of Israel; and gave Commandment concerning his bones. - Heb 11:22 Joseph knew the destination for the children of Israel and so prophesied of their leaving Egypt . Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so Great a cloud of Witnesses, let us lay aside every Weight, and the Sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with Patience the Race that is set before us, - Heb 12:1 Furthermore we have had Fathers of our Flesh which corrected us, and we gave them Reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and Live ? - Heb 12:9 No question that the HolySpirit should be Honored by listening to His instruction. Whose voice then shook the Earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the Earth only, but also Heaven . - Heb 12:26 And this Word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. - Heb 12:27 Only Spiritual things will stand when shaken and will pass from Earth to Heaven . All else will be destroyed the shaking and by Fire . For the bodies of those beasts, whose Blood is brought into the Sanctuary by the high Priest for Sin, are burned without the camp. - Heb 13:11 It was required that the Sin offering be offered outside of the camp. Knowing this, that the trying of your Faith works Patience . - Jam 1:3 God does not try your Faith ( Jam 1:13 ). It is the Enemy, Satan, who tempts, who attacks, who tries to undermine our Faith in God . In Gen 3:1 we see Eve being tempted by the serpent whose angle was to make her distrust God . He was trying her Faith . Unfortunately, Eve was naive and did not recognize him as her Enemy . Had she had the Patience to wait and talk to God about it, things would have been different. Patience is the abililty to stay in the moment and Trust God about the Future . It does not react quickly or behave rashly. But if you have Respect to persons, you commit Sin, and are convinced of the Law as transgressors. - Jam 2:9 Judging by Sight is a Sin as it damages yourself and withholds Blessing from those that you turn from. From where come Wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your Lusts that War in your members? - Jam 4:1 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the King, as supreme; - 1Pe 2:13 We are not to be troublemakers. For so is the Will of God, that with well Doing you may put to silence the Ignorance of Foolish men: - 1Pe 2:15 Satan is not impressed with well doing. He was not impressed with Jesus and he isn't impressed with our well doing. Foolish men (under the influence of the spirit of AntiChrist) will make up a lie when there is no truth to back their agenda. For this is thankworthy, if a man for Conscience toward God endure grief, Suffering wrongfully. - 1Pe 2:19 On the other hand it sets a precedence - one in which the bully gets by with their violation of another person's rights. It endangers the next person to whom the bully turns for advantage. Beloved, Think it not strange concerning the fiery Trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: - 1Pe 4:12 Wherefore I Will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you Know them, and be established in the Present Truth . - 2Pe 1:12 We need reminding of who we are because the thief is constantly working against us to deny us our Place InChrist . Moreover I Will endeavour that you may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. - 2Pe 1:15 Peter's desire was to leave the Believers with these words of remembrance of what Christ has made possible for them. And saying, Where is the Promise of his coming? for since the Fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the Creation . - 2Pe 3:4 Jesus clearly told us that He would not Return until after the GreatTribulation ( Matt 24:29, 30)). To teach people that He can come at any time is wrong. Everntually those taught so will giive up looking and lose Faith . These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. - 1Jn 2:26 I wrote unto the Church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, receives us not. - 3Jn 1:9 And he had in his Right hand seven stars: and out of his Mouth went a sharp twoedged Sword: and his countenance was as the sun shines in his Strength . - Rev 1:16 The seven stars are ministers. Jesus Speaks the Word with precision and Power while His face is almost too bright to behold. I Know your works, and your Labour, and your Patience, and how you can not bear them which are Evil: and you have tried them which Say they are apostles, and are not, and have Found them liars: - Rev 2:2 And have borne, and have Patience, and for my Name's sake have laboured, and have not fainted. - Rev 2:3 Ephesus was diligent. And when he had opened the third seal, I Heard the third Beast Say, Come and See . And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that Sat on him had a pair of Balances in his hand. - Rev 6:5 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and where came they? - Rev 7:13 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven about the space of half an hour. - Rev 8:1 And another Angel came and stood at the Altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the Prayers of all Saints upon the golden Altar which was before the Throne . - Rev 8:3 And the Smoke of the incense, which came with the Prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the Angel's hand. - Rev 8:4 He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the Sword must be killed with the Sword . Here is the Patience and the Faith of the saints. - Rev 13:10 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a Great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the Earth, so Mighty an earthquake, and so Great . - Rev 16:18 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and Wheat, and beasts, and Sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and Souls of men. - Rev 18:13 |
