(NIV) 13 Heb. 11:6-And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. 1 Tim. 1:5-But the goal of our [a] instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 1 Cor. 13:1-3-If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging
cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body [a] to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 1 Tim. 2:5-For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus John 14:6-Jesus *said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Acts 4:12-And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. Luke 5:31-And Jesus answered and said to them, It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. 1 Tim. 6:3-If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not [d] agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness 2 Tim 4:3-4-For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
Titus 1:9- holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict Titus 1:13-his testimony is true. For this reason reprove them severely so that they may be sound in the faith Titus 2:1-2-But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine. 2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in [a] perseverance. 2 Tim 4:3-4-For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 2 Tim. 3:16-17-All Scripture is [h] inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for [i] training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. Isa. 55:10-11-For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire.
Jer. 23:29-Is not My word like fire? declares the LORD, and like a hammer which shatters a rock? 1 Cor. 4:2-In this case, moreover, it is required [a] of stewards that one be found trustworthy. 14 2 Pet. 2:5- and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a [a] preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly 2 Tim 1:9-10- who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, 10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel Rom. 1:16-17-For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed [j] from faith to faith; as it is written, [k] BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. Matt. 25:41-Then He will also say to those on His left, Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. 2 Cor. 11:2-4-For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present
you as a pure virgin. 3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 4 For if [b] one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. Gen. 2:16-17-The LORD God commanded the man, saying, From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not [n] eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. Gal. 1:6-9-I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you [c] by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel [d] contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be [e] accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel [f] contrary to what you received, he is to be [g] accursed! Gal. 3:3-Are you so foolish? Having begun [d] by the Spirit, are you now [e] being perfected by the flesh? Gal 5:22-23-But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, selfcontrol; against such things there is no law.
Rom. 1:16-17-For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed [j] from faith to faith; as it is written, [k] BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. John 15:5-I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. Zech 4:6- Then he [a] said to me, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of hosts. Rom. 3:27- Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith Eph. 2:8-9- For by grace you have been saved through faith; and [h] that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 2 Cor. 3:17- Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty Acts 18:28- for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the [a] Christ. Titus 1:9- holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict
1 Peter 3:15- but [i] sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a [j] defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and [k] reverence. Jude 3- Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the [a] saints. John 14:16- I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [b] Helper, that He may be with you forever 1 Sam. 16:14- Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized him. Ps. 51:11- Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Judges 16:20- She said, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! And he awoke from his sleep and said, I will go out as at other times and shake myself free. But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. Rom. 8:9- However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him Rom. 8:23- And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. Jas. 4:5-Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: [e] He [f] jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us? Gal. 5:16-But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 1 Cor. 15:10- But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 2 Tim. 2:1-You therefore, my [a] son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Num. 6:24-26- The LORD bless you, and keep you; 25 The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 26 The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace
