The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

While the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things.

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever. ...

She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, ...
The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
Wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
We love because he first loved us.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling. But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? ...
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
And at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
And constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
He is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ...
One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
And to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things,
Remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
To redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”
For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. ...
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.
And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. ...
So that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,
But that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law.
So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, ...
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 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, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. ...
Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) ...
Slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
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.
For “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’
And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,
Nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
This he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, “‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’
Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. And falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”

This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne,
God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?”
And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”
That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.
Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.”
And behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? Why then are we faithless to one another, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning.
A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
