So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

Matthew Chapter 6:4

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:5

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Matthew Chapter 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew Chapter 6:26

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Matthew Chapter 6:27

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

Matthew Chapter 6:28

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Matthew Chapter 6:30

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Matthew Chapter 6:34

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

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.

1 John Chapter 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John Chapter 3:17

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

1 John Chapter 3:18

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1 John Chapter 3:19

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

1 John Chapter 3:20

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

1 John Chapter 3:21

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

1 John Chapter 3:22

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John Chapter 3:23

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

1 John Chapter 3:24

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1 John Chapter 4:7

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

1 John Chapter 4:8

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

1 John Chapter 4:9

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

1 John Chapter 4:10

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John Chapter 4:11

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
