Isaiah Chapter 55:8

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Isaiah Chapter 55:9

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Ezekiel Chapter 34:4

The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

Matthew Chapter 23:3

All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

Matthew Chapter 23:15

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

John Chapter 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John Chapter 1:2

The same was in the beginning with God.

John Chapter 1:3

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John Chapter 1:4

In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John Chapter 1:5

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John Chapter 1:6

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

John Chapter 1:7

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

John Chapter 1:8

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

John Chapter 1:9

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

John Chapter 1:10

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

John Chapter 1:11

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

John Chapter 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John Chapter 1:13

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John Chapter 1:14

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John Chapter 1:15

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

John Chapter 1:16

And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

John Chapter 1:17

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John Chapter 1:18

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John Chapter 1:19

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

John Chapter 1:20

And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

John Chapter 1:21

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

John Chapter 1:22

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

John Chapter 1:23

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

John Chapter 1:24

And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

John Chapter 1:25

And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

John Chapter 1:26

John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

John Chapter 1:27

He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

John Chapter 1:28

These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

John Chapter 1:29

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

John Chapter 1:30

This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

John Chapter 1:31

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

John Chapter 1:32

And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

John Chapter 1:33

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

John Chapter 1:34

And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

John Chapter 1:35

Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

John Chapter 1:36

And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

John Chapter 1:37

And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

John Chapter 1:38

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

John Chapter 1:39

He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.

John Chapter 1:40

One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

John Chapter 1:41

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

John Chapter 1:42

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

John Chapter 1:43

The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

John Chapter 1:44

Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

John Chapter 1:45

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

John Chapter 1:46

And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

John Chapter 1:47

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

John Chapter 1:48

Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

John Chapter 1:49

Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

John Chapter 1:50

Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

John Chapter 1:51

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

John Chapter 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John Chapter 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John Chapter 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Romans Chapter 15:1

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Romans Chapter 15:2

Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

Romans Chapter 15:3

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

Romans Chapter 15:4

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Romans Chapter 15:5

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

Romans Chapter 15:6

That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans Chapter 15:7

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Romans Chapter 15:8

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Romans Chapter 15:9

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

Romans Chapter 15:10

And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

Romans Chapter 15:11

And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

Romans Chapter 15:12

And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

Romans Chapter 15:13

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Romans Chapter 15:14

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Romans Chapter 15:15

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

Romans Chapter 15:16

That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

Romans Chapter 15:17

I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

Romans Chapter 15:18

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

Romans Chapter 15:19

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

Romans Chapter 15:20

Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

Romans Chapter 15:21

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

Romans Chapter 15:22

For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

Romans Chapter 15:23

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

Romans Chapter 15:24

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

Romans Chapter 15:25

But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

Romans Chapter 15:26

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

Romans Chapter 15:27

It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

Romans Chapter 15:28

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

Romans Chapter 15:29

And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

Romans Chapter 15:30

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Romans Chapter 15:31

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

Romans Chapter 15:32

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

Romans Chapter 15:33

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Galatians Chapter 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Galatians Chapter 5:23

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Ephesians Chapter 4:26

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Hebrews Chapter 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

James Chapter 2:1

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

James Chapter 2:2

For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

James Chapter 2:3

And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

James Chapter 2:4

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

James Chapter 2:5

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

James Chapter 2:6

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

James Chapter 2:7

Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

James Chapter 2:8

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

James Chapter 2:9

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

James Chapter 2:10

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

James Chapter 2:11

For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

James Chapter 2:12

So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

James Chapter 2:13

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

James Chapter 2:14

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

James Chapter 2:15

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

James Chapter 2:16

And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

James Chapter 2:17

Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

James Chapter 2:18

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

James Chapter 2:19

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

James Chapter 2:20

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James Chapter 2:21

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

James Chapter 2:22

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

James Chapter 2:23

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

James Chapter 2:24

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

James Chapter 2:25

Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

James Chapter 2:26

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

1 Peter Chapter 3:15

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

1 John Chapter 3:12

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

3 John Chapter 1:9

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

3 John Chapter 1:10

Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
