The list below is taken from the Appendix in David Bercot's book: What Did The Early Christians Believe About Eternal Security.
Matt 5:13
Matt 6:23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be
full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
[is] that darkness!
Matt 7:16-19
Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a
corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
Matt 13:1-8
The same
day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so
that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and
the fowls came and devoured them up:
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because
they had no root, they withered away.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
choked them:
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit,
some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Matt 18:23-35
Therefore
is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account
of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents.
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him
to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be
made.
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and
took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought
him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
should pay the debt.
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him,
O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
till he should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Matt 24:4-5
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed
that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and
shall deceive many.
Matt 24:11-13
And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall
wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.
Matt 24:23-26
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo,
here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they
shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not.
Matt 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened
unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.
And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil
with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not
enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they
that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
not.
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.
Luke 8:11-15
Now the parable is this: The seed is the
word of God.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the
devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe
and be saved.
They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive
the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in
time of temptation fall away.
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they
have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of
[this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and
good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with
patience.
Luke 11:24-28
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a
man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I
will return unto my house whence I came out.
And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more
wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last [state]
of that man is worse than the first.
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain
woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the
womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the
word of God, and keep it.
Luke 12:42-46
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful
and wise steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give
[them their] portion of meat in due season?
Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over
all that he hath.
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth
his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and
drink, and to be drunken;
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh
not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
John 6:66-71
From
that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
thou hast the words of eternal life.
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the
Son of the living God.
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one
of you is a devil?
He spake of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for he it was
that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
John 8:31-33
Then
said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word,
[then] are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
John 8:51
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
John 13:8
Peter saith
unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee
not, thou hast no part with me.
John 15:1-6
I am the true vine, and my Father is the
husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth
more fruit.
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto
you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit
of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and
is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are
burned.
Acts 5:32
And we are his witnesses of these things;
and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Acts 11:21-23
And the hand of the Lord was with them:
and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the
church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go
as far as Antioch.
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad,
and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the
Lord.
Acts 13:43
Now when the congregation was broken up,
many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who,
speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Acts 14:21-22
And when they had preached the gospel to that
city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and [to] Iconium, and
Antioch,
Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them
to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into
the kingdom of God.
Rom 6:11-23
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be
dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of
unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are
alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto
God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not
under the law, but under grace.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law,
but under grace? God forbid.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to
obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye
have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
righteousness.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of
your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to
iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to
righteousness unto holiness.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
righteousness.
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now
ashamed? for the end of those things [is] death.
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to
God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Rom 8:12-17
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not
to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye
through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified
together.
Rom 11:20-22
Well; because of unbelief they were
broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest
he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them
which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his]
goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Rom 14:15-23
But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat,
now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ
died.
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable
to God, and approved of men.
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for
peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed
[are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor
[any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy [is]
he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he
eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
1 Cor 9:23-27
And this I do for the gospel's sake,
that I might be partaker thereof with [you].
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one
receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in
all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an
incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as
one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a
castaway.
1 Cor 10:1-21
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye
should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all
passed through the sea;
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the
sea;
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they
were overthrown in the wilderness.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should
not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of them; as it is
written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them
committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted,
and were destroyed of serpents.
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were
destroyed of the destroyer.
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and
they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest
he fall.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to
man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye
are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may
be able to bear [it].
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion
of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of
the body of Christ?
For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we
are all partakers of that one bread.
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the
sacrifices partakers of the altar?
What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which
is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
But I [say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice,
they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have
fellowship with devils.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
1 Cor 11:29-32
For he that eateth and drinketh
unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's
body.
For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and
many sleep.
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that
we should not be condemned with the world.
1 Cor 15:1-2
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the
gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
2 Cor 1:24
Not for that we have dominion over your
faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
2 Cor 11:2-4
For I am jealous over you with godly
jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a
chaste virgin to Christ.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
that is in Christ.
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have
not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or
another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
2 Cor 12:21-13:5
[And] lest, when I come again, my God will
humble me among you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned already,
and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness
which they have committed.
This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth
of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present,
the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have
sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to
you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth
by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by
the power of God toward you.
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your
own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
Gal 2:12-16
For before that certain came from James,
he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and
separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch
that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou, being a
Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why
compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the
Gentiles,
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law,
but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that
we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law:
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Gal 3:4-4:1
Have ye suffered so many things in vain?
if [it be] yet in vain.
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh
miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of
faith?
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him
for righteousness.
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are
the children of Abraham.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, [saying], In
thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful
Abraham.
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the
curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all
things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,
[it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them
shall live in them.
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being
made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a
tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through
faith.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be]
but a man's covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth
thereto.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith
not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed
before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years
after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of
promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.
Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of
transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it
was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one.
[Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid:
for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily
righteousness should have been by the law.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the
promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up
unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto
Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
schoolmaster.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have
put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and
heirs according to the promise.
Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child,
differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Gal 5:1-4
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised,
Christ shall profit you nothing.
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that
he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are
justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Gal 6:7-9
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not.
Col 1:21-23
And you, that were sometime alienated and
enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy
and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be]
not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which
was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a
minister;
Col 2:4-8
And this I say, lest any man should beguile
you with enticing words.
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in
the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith
in Christ.
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so]
walk ye in him:
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as
ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain
deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ.
Col 2:18-19
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a
voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which
he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints
and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the
increase of God.
1 Thess 3:5
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear,
I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and
our labour be in vain.
1 Tim 1:3-7
As I besought thee to abide still at
Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they
teach no other doctrine,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure
heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain
jangling;
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither
what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1 Tim 1:18-20
This charge I commit unto thee, son
Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by
them mightest war a good warfare;
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put
away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered
unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
1 Tim 2:11-15
This charge I commit unto thee, son
Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by
them mightest war a good warfare;
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put
away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered
unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
1 Tim 4:1-16
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that
in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared
with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats,
which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe
and know the truth.
For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be
refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,
thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of
faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise
thyself [rather] unto godliness.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is
profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that
which is to come.
This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we
trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that
believe.
These things command and teach.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the
believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in
purity.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to
doctrine.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee
by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them;
that thy profiting may appear to all.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in
them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 Tim 5:5-15
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate,
trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those
of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore
years old, having been the wife of one man,
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up
children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if
she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good
work.
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to
wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first
faith.
And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from
house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking
things which they ought not.
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear
children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak
reproachfully.
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
1 Tim 6:9-12
But they that will be rich fall into
temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown
men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while
some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before
many witnesses.
1 Tim 6:17-21
Charge them that are rich in this world, that
they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate;
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against
the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,
avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so
called:
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace
[be] with thee. Amen.
2 Tim 2:11-18
[It is] a faithful saying: For if we be
dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny
[him], he also will deny us:
If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny
himself.
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.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will
increase unto more ungodliness.
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus;
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2 Tim 2:22-26
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow
righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they
do gender strifes.
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle
unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of
the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
2 Tim 3:13-15
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and
hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in
Christ Jesus.
Heb 2:1-3
Therefore
we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest
at any time we should let [them] slip.
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every
transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which
at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them
that heard [him];
Heb 3:6-19
But Christ
as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence
and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear
his voice,
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of
temptation in the wilderness:
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works
forty years.
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They
do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways.
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil
heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day;
lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts, as in the provocation.
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all
that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Heb 4:1-16
Let us
therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any
of you should seem to come short of it.
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them:
but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them
that heard [it].
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said,
As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the
works were finished from the foundation of the world.
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this
wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,
and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day,
after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not
afterward have spoken of another day.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased
from his own works, as God [did] from his.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any
man fall after the same example of unbelief.
For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper
than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his
sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we
have to do.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed
into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are,
yet] without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that
we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Heb 5:8-9
Though he
were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal
salvation unto all them that obey him;
Heb 6:4-20
For [it
is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the
heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
world to come,
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.
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft
upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed,
receiveth blessing from God:
But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and
[is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and
things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour
of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to
the saints, and do minister.
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same
diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through
faith and patience inherit the promises.
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear
by no greater, he sware by himself,
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I
will multiply thee.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
promise.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
confirmation [is] to them an end of all strife.
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs
of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed [it] by an oath:
That by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible
for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to
lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made
an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Heb 10:19-39
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter
into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And [having] an high priest over the house of God;
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of
faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without
wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to
good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the
manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as ye
see the day approaching.
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the
knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or
three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be
thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted
the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and
hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto
me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his
people.
[It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living
God.
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye
were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches
and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so
used.
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully
the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a
better and an enduring substance.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great
recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the
will of God, ye might receive the promise.
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw
back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of
them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Heb 11:13-16
These
all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar
off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they
were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek
a country.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from
whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
But now they desire a better [country], that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath
prepared for them a city.
Heb 12:1-17
Wherefore
seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us
run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto
you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor
faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every
son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are
partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
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?
For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their
own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his
holiness.
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble
knees;
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is
lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no
man shall see the Lord:
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be
defiled;
Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited
the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he
sought it carefully with tears.
Heb 12:25-29
Wherefore
seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us
lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us
run with patience the race that is set before us,
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they
escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we
[escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised,
saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of
those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things
which cannot be shaken may remain.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let
us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly
fear:
For our God [is] a consuming fire.
Heb 13:7-17
Remember
them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God:
whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For
[it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats,
which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
serve the tabernacle.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into
the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with
his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing
his reproach.
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to
come.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God
continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is well pleased.
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit
yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that
they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for
you.
James 1:12-26
Blessed [is] the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the
Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for
God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own
lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and
sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
shadow of turning.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to
hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to
save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is
like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not
his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.
James 2:14-26
What [doth it] profit, my brethren,
though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily
food,
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye]
warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are
needful to the body; what [doth it] profit?
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew
me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the
devils also believe, and tremble.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is
dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had
offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works
was faith made perfect?
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called
the Friend of God.
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by
faith only.
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also.
James 4:4-10
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye
not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit
that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse
[your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be
turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall
lift you up.
James 5:19-20
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth,
and one convert him;
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the
error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of
sins.
1 Peter 5:9-13
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing
that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
world.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his
eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you
perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I
have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of
God wherein ye stand.
The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with
[you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.
2 Peter 1:5-11
And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and
to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you
that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see
afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your
calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly
into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 2:1-22
But there were false prophets also among
the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall
bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring
upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of
whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their
damnation slumbereth not.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast
[them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be
reserved unto judgment;
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
[person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of
the ungodly;
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto those that
after should live ungodly;
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation
of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and
hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful
deeds;)
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled, they
are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring
not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly
perish in their own corruption;
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they
that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from
sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of
unrighteousness;
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with
a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they
allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those that
were clean escaped from them who live in error.
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the
servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he
brought in bondage.
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world
through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again
entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the
beginning.
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy
commandment delivered unto them.
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,
The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her
wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 3:16-17
As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in
them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which
they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other
scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from
your own stedfastness.
1 John 1:5-3:11
This then is the message which we have
heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no
darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and
his word is not in us.
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye
sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous:
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to
walk, even as he walked.
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old
commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word
which ye have heard from the beginning.
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is
true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now
shineth.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is
in darkness even until now.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there
is none occasion of stumbling in him.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh
in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath
blinded his eyes.
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven you for his name's sake.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that
is] from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome
the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the
Father.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
[that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye
are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked
one.
Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of
the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard
that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we
know that it is the last time.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they
had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went
out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
things.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth,
but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
[(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from
the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in
you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even]
eternal life.
These [things] have I written unto you concerning them that
seduce you.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in
you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth
you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall
appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that
doeth righteousness is born of him.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon
us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us
not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be
like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin
is the transgression of the law.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins;
and in him is no sin.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath
not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that
loveth not his brother.
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning,
that we should love one another.
1 John 5:4-16
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus
Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that
beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit,
and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is
greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth
not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the
Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the
name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye
may believe on the name of the Son of God.
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know
that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
If any man see his brother sin a sin [which is] not unto
death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto
death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
2 John 6-9
And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the
beginning, ye should walk in it.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess
not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
antichrist.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we
have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son.
Jude 5-12
I will therefore put you in remembrance,
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the
land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left
their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in
like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not:
but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt
themselves.
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and
ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsaying of Core.
Jude 20-21
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your
most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of
our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Rev 2:7
He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.
Rev 2:10-11
Fear none
of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of
you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days:
be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Rev 2:17-26
He that
hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white
stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that
receiveth [it].
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These
things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and
his feet [are] like fine brass;
I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and
thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because
thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach
and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed
unto idols.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she
repented not.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
And I will kill her children with death; and all the
churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I
will give unto every one of you according to your works.
But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many
as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as
they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end,
to him will I give power over the nations:
Rev 3:4-5
Thou hast a
few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall
walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Rev 3:8-22
I know thy
works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for
thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my
name.
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which
say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come
and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will
keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to
try them that dwell upon the earth.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that
no man take thy crown.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my
God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down
out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches.
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of
the creation of God;
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that]
the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,
that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he
with me.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches.
Rev 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the
death.
Rev 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they
that are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
Rev 21:7-8
He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death.
Rev 22:18-19
For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of
the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book.
