Y the grace of God I am what I am.--In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth --it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy --Where is boasting then? It is excluded.--Christ Jesus...became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption... He him who boasts, boasts in the LORD.
      You you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest --Ye are washed, . . . ye are sanctified...you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

zmaveth the son of Adiel had charge of the king's storehouses...Jonathan... had charge of the storehouses in the country... Ezri ...had charge of the agricultural workers...Shimei ...had charge of the vineyards and Zabdi ...had charge of the produce of the vineyards... all these were overseers of the property which belonged to King David
      God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues...but one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
      As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterances of God; whoever serves, let him do so as by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

From Manasseh also some defected to David...and they helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor --To each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
      Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do --To one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit
      Of Zebulun...50,000 who went out in the army, who could draw up in battle formation with all kinds of weapons of war...undivided heart --A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
      There should be no division in the body but the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. If one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
      One Lord, one faith, one baptism.

Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time. It hastens toward the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; for it will certainly come, it will not delay.
      Do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance --Thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth -- Oh, that Thou wouldst rend the heavens and come down...for from of old they have not heard nor perceived by ear, neither has the eye seen a God besides Thee, Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him

 E has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? --To keep the LORD'S commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?
      As many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM. Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH --It was added because of transgressions... until the seed should come to whom the promise had been made.
      God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son
      Speak, LORD; for thy servant is listening.

HO shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? In all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

      Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who after He has killed has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!

     Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me. Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you --I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, in order that I may finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God -- I will speak of Thy testimonies before kings, and shall not be ashamed.

HE Rock was Christ.--Simon Peter . . . said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. . . . Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not overpower it.-- 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.
      Full assurance of faith...without wavering.--Faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
      Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? In all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 HY word is very pure: therefore thy servant loves it.--The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
--Every word of God is tested. He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.
      Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  I will meditate on Thy precepts, and regard Thy ways --Brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. --Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation
      We are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God --Not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God

ESUS...lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, Father --My Father and your Father, and My God and your God --You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus --You have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, Abba! Father! The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
      Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba! Father! Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son

      Truly, truly, I say to you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you in My name. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

      And I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me, Says the Lord Almighty. Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

HOU shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God
      Who is like Thee among the gods, O LORD? Who is like Thee, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? --Holy, holy, holy, Lord God the Almighty.      
     Worship the LORD in holy array --I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, lofty and exalted with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him. And one called out to another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am ruined.-- I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees Thee. Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.
      The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.--That we might share His holiness.--Since therefore, brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus...let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith.

N the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever --A stone was cut out without hands.--Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.--The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed nor will they say, Look, here it is! or, There it is! For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.
      To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil and goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts up and grows-- how, he himself does not know. But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.
      Be ready too; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.
      The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let the one who hears say, Come.

NDERSTAND what the will of the Lord is.
      It is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
      This is the will of God, even your sanctification.-- So as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. --In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, Therefore putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness
      You shall be holy; for I am holy.--Jesus said, whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother -- Everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.--The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever.
