Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them
which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the
same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48 KJV
Then Peter came and said to Him, Lord, how often shall my brother
sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times? Jesus said
to him, I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy
times seven.
Matthew 18:21,22 NASB
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to
the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the
purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope
in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were
included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a
seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our
inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession -
to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:11-14 NIV
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the
works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I
go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my
name, I will do it. "If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor,
to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world
cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know
him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.
John 14:12-17 RSV
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire
of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and
the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one
another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
Galatians 5:16-18 NASB
Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them
to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and
obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and
not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.
Psalm 119:33-37 NIV
And He (Jesus) said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to
believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary
for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?"
Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained
to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
Luke 24:5-7 NASB
All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good
work.
2 Timothy 3:16,17 RSV
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought
us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have
redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all
things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
Colossians 1:13-16 NIV
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard
equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness
of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself
by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him
the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus
EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and
under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11 NASB
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know
when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from
afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are
familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in--behind and
before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is
too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can
I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
Psalm 139:1-7 NIV
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he
is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed
any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before
appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek
the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though
he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move,
and have our being.
Acts 17:24-28 KJV
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are
justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which
is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as an expiation by his
blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteous-
ness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former
sins; it was to prove at the present time that he himself is
righteous and that he justifies him who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:23-26 RSV
Your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints
and those who reverence your name, both small and great--
and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
Revelation 11:18 NIV
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they
may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that
they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know
that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved
me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of
the world.
John 17:22-24 KJV
I saw no temple in it (heaven), for the Lord God the Almighty and
the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of the sun or
of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined
it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Revelation 21:22,23 NASB
Therefore, "they are before the throne of God and serve him day
and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will
spread his tent over them. Never again will they hunger; never
again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor
any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living
water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Revelation 7:15-17 NIV
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them
unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9,10 KJV
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as
yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be
like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone
who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He
is pure.
1 John 3:2,3 NASB
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of
all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For
my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes
in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last
day." Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,
and I will raise him up at the last day
John 6:39,40, and 54 NIV
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to
be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that
being clothed we shall not be found naked. 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.
2 Corinthians 5:1-4 KJV
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet
the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of
Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are
under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh --
for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if
by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you
will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these
are sons of God.
Romans 8:10-14 NASB
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake:
some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting
contempt. Tose who are wise will shine like the brightness
of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness,
like the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel 12:2,3 NIV
Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh
also will dwell securely. For You will not abandon my soul
to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures
forever.
Psalm 16:9-11 NASB

I will do, And I will not leave them undone.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he
delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be
utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
Psalm 37:23,24 KJV
Give ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. Does he
who plows for sowing plow continually? does he continually open
and harrow his ground? When he has leveled its surface, does he
not scatter dill, sow cummin, and put in wheat in rows and barley
in its proper place, and spelt as the border? For he is instructed
aright; his God teaches him.
Isaiah 28:23-26 RSV
I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, In paths they
do not know I will guide them. I will make darkness into light
before them And rugged places into plains. These are the things
I will do, And I will not leave them undone.
Isaiah 42:16 NASB
Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the
past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the
wilderness, Rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field will
glorify Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I have given
waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink
to My chosen people. The people whom I formed for Myself
Will declare My praise!
Isaiah 43:18-21 NASB
How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For this reason
He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has
taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were
committed under the first covenant, those who have been called
may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:14-15 NASB
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John
saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great
voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and
God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne
said, Behold, I make all things new.

not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in
heart will follow it.

faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. Let thy steadfast love be
ready to comfort me according to thy promise to thy servant.

cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so
