Jesus

“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?

And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.

He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”

I am convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died.

For whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,

so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
