And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

Isaiah Chapter 49:19

For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

Isaiah Chapter 49:20

The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

Jeremiah Chapter 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Jeremiah Chapter 29:12

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

Jeremiah Chapter 31:7

For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Jeremiah Chapter 31:8

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

Jeremiah Chapter 31:9

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Jeremiah Chapter 31:10

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

Mark Chapter 5:19

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

Luke Chapter 15:11

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

Luke Chapter 15:12

And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

Luke Chapter 15:13

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

Luke Chapter 15:14

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

Luke Chapter 15:15

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Luke Chapter 15:16

And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

Luke Chapter 15:17

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

Luke Chapter 15:18

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

Luke Chapter 15:19

And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

Luke Chapter 15:20

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

Luke Chapter 15:21

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

Luke Chapter 15:22

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

Luke Chapter 15:23

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

Luke Chapter 15:24

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Luke Chapter 15:25

Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

Luke Chapter 15:26

And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

Luke Chapter 15:27

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

Luke Chapter 15:28

And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

Luke Chapter 15:29

And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

Luke Chapter 15:30

But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

Luke Chapter 15:31

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

Luke Chapter 15:32

It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

John Chapter 14:2

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John Chapter 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:1

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.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:2

For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:3

If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:4

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 Chapter 5:5

Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:6

Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:8

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:9

Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:10

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:11

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:12

For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:13

For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:14

For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:15

And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:16

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:17

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:18

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:19

To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:20

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Colossians Chapter 3:14

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Colossians Chapter 3:15

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

James Chapter 1:1

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

James Chapter 1:2

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

James Chapter 1:3

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

James Chapter 1:4

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James Chapter 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James Chapter 1:6

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

James Chapter 1:7

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

James Chapter 1:8

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

James Chapter 1:9

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

James Chapter 1:10

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

James Chapter 1:11

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

James Chapter 1:12

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.

James Chapter 1:13

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:

James Chapter 1:14

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

James Chapter 1:15

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

James Chapter 1:16

Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James Chapter 1:17

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.

James Chapter 1:18

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

James Chapter 1:19

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

James Chapter 1:20

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

James Chapter 1:21

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James Chapter 1:22

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

James Chapter 1:23

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:

James Chapter 1:24

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

James Chapter 1:25

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.

James Chapter 1:26

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 Chapter 1:27

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

1 John Chapter 2:1

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:

1 John Chapter 2:2

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John Chapter 2:3

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

1 John Chapter 2:4

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John Chapter 2:5

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1 John Chapter 2:6

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1 John Chapter 2:7

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.

1 John Chapter 2:8

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.

1 John Chapter 2:9

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

1 John Chapter 2:10

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

1 John Chapter 2:11

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.

1 John Chapter 2:12

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

1 John Chapter 2:13

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.

1 John Chapter 2:14

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.

1 John Chapter 2:15

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.

1 John Chapter 2:16

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.

1 John Chapter 2:17

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John Chapter 2:18

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.

1 John Chapter 2:19

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.

1 John Chapter 2:20

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

1 John Chapter 2:21

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.

1 John Chapter 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John Chapter 2:23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

1 John Chapter 2:24

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.

1 John Chapter 2:25

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

1 John Chapter 2:26

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

1 John Chapter 2:27

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.

1 John Chapter 2:28

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.

1 John Chapter 2:29

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Revelation Chapter 7:9

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Revelation Chapter 7:10

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Revelation Chapter 7:11

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

Revelation Chapter 7:12

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
