1: You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. 40 And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 You must be perfect—just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Says Christ, in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 38 to 48.
1B: You must show no pity for the guilty. Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Deuteronomy 19 verse 21.
Notice!! So, but Christ has come in the New Testament Bible in Matthew 5 verse 38 to 48 and exactly tells us that we have heard that it was said eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth but that he tells us that if someone offends us that we should not revenge. So, everyone had once offended someone before. Those are why (Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live prayer) is only written in the Old Testament Bible Exodus 22 verse 18, it is not written in the New Testament Bible. So we can not use it to condemn any human sinner in the New Testament today again. No witch can kill the souls of the pure Christ’s followers proves Christ in Luke 10 verse 19, and in Luke 6 verse 46 to 49. But even if their flesh are killed know that God Almighty wants to take their souls to heaven just like Stephen who was killed by humans, and he made heaven. So, read just the below to see another Old Testament bible that we cannot practice today due to Christ’s death.
1C: Suppose you go out to war against your enemies and the Lord your God hands them over to you, and you take some of them as captives. 11 And suppose you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her and want to marry her. 12 If this happens, you may take her to your home, where she must shave her head, cut her nails, 13 and change the clothes she was wearing when she was captured. She will stay in your home, but let her mourn for her father and mother for a full month. Then you may marry her, and you will be her husband and she will be your wife. 14 But if you marry her and she does not please you, you must let her go free. You may not sell her or treat her as a slave, for you have humiliated her. Deuteronomy 21 verse 10 to 14.
2: For God will not show mercy when he judges a person who has not been merciful; but mercy triumphs over judgment. 14 My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? 15 Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. 16 What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!”—if you don't give them the necessities of life? 17 So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. 18 But someone will say, “One person has faith, another has actions.” My answer is, “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions.” 20 You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless? 21 How was our ancestor Abraham put right with God? It was through his actions, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. 22 Can't you see? His faith and his actions worked together; his faith was made perfect through his actions. 23 And the scripture came true that said, “Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous.” And so Abraham was called God's friend. 24 You see, then, that it is by our actions that we are put right with God, and not by our faith alone. 25 It was the same with the prostitute Rahab. She was put right with God through her actions, by welcoming the Israelite spies and helping them to escape by a different road. 26 So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead. Says James 2 verse 13 to 26.
3: But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone hits you on one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. 30 Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31 Do for others just what you want them to do for you. 32 “If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that! 34 And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount! 35 No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful just as your Father is merciful. 37 “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you. 38 Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands—all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.” 39 And Jesus told them this parable: “One blind man cannot lead another one; if he does, both will fall into a ditch. 43 “A healthy tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a poor tree bear good fruit. 44 Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes or gather grapes from bramble bushes. 45 A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and yet don't do what I tell you? 47 Anyone who comes to me and listens to my words and obeys them—I will show you what he is like. 48 He is like a man who, in building his house, dug deep and laid the foundation on rock. The river flooded over and hit that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But anyone who hears my words and does not obey them is like a man who built his house without laying a foundation; when the flood hit that house it fell at once—and what a terrible crash that was!”. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 27 to 49.
3B: 13 “Suppose a man marries a woman, but after sleeping with her, he turns against her 14 and publicly accuses her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘When I married this woman, I discovered she was not a virgin.’ 15 Then the woman’s father and mother must bring the proof of her virginity to the elders as they judge the case. 20 But if the charge is true and there is no proof that she was a virgin before he married her, 21 then they are to take the man’s wife out to the entrance of her father's house, where the men of her city are to stone her to death. She has done a shameful thing among our people by having intercourse before she was married, while she was still living in her father's house. In this way you will get rid of this evil. 22 “If a man is caught having intercourse with another man's wife, both of them are to be put to death. In this way you will get rid of this evil. 23 “Suppose a man is caught in a town having intercourse with a young woman who is engaged to someone else. 24 You are to take them outside the town and stone them to death. She is to die because she did not cry out for help, although she was in a town, where she could have been heard. And the man is to die because he had intercourse with someone who was engaged. In this way you will get rid of this evil. 25 “Suppose a man out in the countryside rapes a young woman who is engaged to someone else. Then only the man is to be put to death; 26 nothing is to be done to the woman, because she has not committed a sin worthy of death. This case is the same as when one man attacks another man and murders him. (Notice!! To get the whole writings read from verse 13). Says Deuteronomy 22 verse 20 to 26.
Notice!!! Remember, we are not to practice these kinds of Old Testament bible law in the New Testament bible today, which is humans killing each others as says here. So, these above you did read are just to show us that we the humans can never use any Old Testament bible law to judge or condemn other human sinners, due to Christ has died for all sinners’ chances of repentance. If sinners refuse to repent after death only God Almighty can judge them and send them to hell fire for forever punishment. So, when people also quote Old Testament Exodus 22 verse 18 which says, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, it is only recorded in the Old Testament bible, but not in the New Testament bible. In the New Testament bible no human can call any sinner Christ died for witch. Those are why Galatians 5 verse 4 says that people who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut themselves off from Christ, that they are outside God's grace. So, it is mostly referring to these laws of humans condemning other human sinners, just as a man was able to kill his wife just for not being a virgin from her father’s house according to the Old Testament Bible.
4: So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. 33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. 34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 12 verse 32 to 34.
5: All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. 33 The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. 34 There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35 and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need. Acts 4 verse 32 to 37.
6: Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry. 20 Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose. 21 So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. 22 Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice. James 1 verse 19 to 22.
6B: What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world. Says in Good New Bible. James 1 verse 27.
7: When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, 32 and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the righteous people at his right and the others at his left. 34 Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. 35 I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, 36 naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.’ 37 The righteous will then answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? 38 When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ 40 The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels! 42 I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink; 43 I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.’ 44 Then they will answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and we would not help you?’ 45 The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.’ 46 Christ says, those people will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the righteous will go to eternal life.” Says Christ. Matthew 25 verse 31 to 46.
8: For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 6 verse 12.
9: That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 1 verse 26 to 27.
10: Run away from sexual immorality in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. Says Amplified Version Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 18.
11: If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. Says Christ. John 15 verse 7.
12: If you obey me, I will keep loving you, just as my Father keeps loving me, because I have obeyed him. Says Jesus in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. John 15 verse 10.
13: If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. 21 They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. Says Christ. John 15 verse 18 to 21.
14: I have told you this, so that you will not give up your faith. 2 You will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time will come when those who kill you will think that by doing this they are serving God. 3 People will do these things to you because they have not known either the Father or me. 4 But I have told you this, so that when the time comes for them to do these things, you will remember what I told you. Says Christ. John 16 verse 1 to 4.
15: I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world! Says Christ. John 16 verse 33.
Part 2
1: Later that same day Jesus left the house and sat beside the lake, sea of Galilee. 2 A large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat there and taught as the people stood on the shore. 3 He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. 4 As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Notice!! And etc. Says Christ. Matthew 13 verse 1 to 9.
1B: His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?” 11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. 12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. 13 That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand. 14 This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says, ‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend. 15 For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’ 16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 17 I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it. Says Matthew 13 verse 10 to 17.
1C: “Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds: 19 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts. 20 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. 21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word. 22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced. 23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” Says Christ. Matthew 13 verse 18 to 23.
1D: Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 13 verse 24 to 30.
1E: A man sowed good seed but enemy came and sowed weed. The servants told the man about it for them to remove them, and etc. Christ's parable. Says Christ Matthew 13 verse 24 to 30.
1F: To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. Says Christ Matthew 13 verse 12.
2: A stubborn child shall be stoned to death by the Israelites in order to wipe out evil. God Almighty commanded them. Says Deuteronomy 21 verse 18 to 21.
3: A man who spoilt Sabbath day was stoned to death by the Israelites, which God Almighty told Moses that they should stone him to death. They did not know what to do with the man as they caught him, before God Almighty told them to kill him. Says Numbers 15 verse 32 to 36.
3B: Notice!! All these above also proves that we the humans cannot use Old Testament bible law to judge and condemn any human again except only God Almighty can do that. If not, all humans would have killed one another due to Sabbath day and due to children being stubborn as many of us were stubborn and today no human has kept the Sabbath day perfectly since born if I may say.
3C: Then Moses called together the whole community of Israel and told them, “These are the instructions the Lord has commanded you to follow. 2 You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death. 3 You must not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath.” says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Exodus 35 verse 1 to 3.
Notice!! Some bible translations still says (must be put to death)
4B: A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days, says in New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 28 verse 16.
6: A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Says Psalm 90 verse 4.
6B: Seventy years is all we have, eighty years if we are strong; yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow; life is soon over, and we are gone. Says Psalm 90 verse 10.
6C: Notice!! As God told David that he will make his own family make trouble with him and that another person will sleep with his wives before the Israelites openly, as a punishment for committing adultery and killing the husband Uriah, this is the bible chapter where it happened: From, 20 Absalom turned to Ahethophel and said, “Give us your advice! What should we do?” 21 Ahethophel answered, “Some of your father’s wives were left here to take care of the palace. You should have sex with them. Then everyone will find out that you have publicly disgraced your father. This will make you and your followers even more powerful.” 22 Absalom had a tent set up on the flat roof of the palace, and everyone watched as he went into the tent with his father’s wives and slept with them. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 2 Samuel 16 verse 20 to 22.
6D: Notice!! David lamented, my own son is trying to kill me. Says 2 Samuel 16 verse 11.
6E: Notice!! All these we just read above prove that if God is against someone, he can use the person’s family or friends to fight the person.
7: Ahithophel’s advice he gave was as if man had consulted the word of God; that's how all Ahithophel’s counsel was regarded by David and Absalom. Says Amplified Version Bible. 2 Samuel 16 verse 23.
8: Ahethophel's advises Absalom, for David to be killed. Says 2 Samuel 17 verse 1 to 3.
9: God made Ahithophel's good advice to not be followed so disaster befalls Absalom. Says 2 Samuel 17 verse 14.
10: Ahithophel hanged himself, due to his advice on Absalom was not followed. Says 2 Samuel 17 verse 23.
11: Absalom was defeated and killed after his hair was caught hanging on the tree while his mule ran out under him (NOTICE!!! Joab killed him) Says 2 Samuel 18 verse 9.
12: A day will come when Satan will go to even God's temple and sit down and claim to be God. Don't let anyone deceive you. Says Amplified Version Bible. 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 3 to 4.
13: lawless Antichrist through the activity of Satan with great power of all kinds of lying counterfeit miracles, deceptive signs and wonders, with seduction to evil and wickedness will come on those who are perishing, because they didn't welcome the love of the truth of the gospel so as to be saved, they were spiritually blind and rejected the truth that would have saved them. Because of this God will send misleading spirit of error and deception to them, so they will believe lies and be judged and condemned because they refused to believe the truth and the need for salvation through Christ, instead they took pleasure in sin. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 9 to 12.
15: Someone asked Christ what he can do to enter heaven. 17 If you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” the man asked. And Jesus replied: “‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. 19 Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself. 20 “I have obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else must I do?” 21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 23 It would be harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Says Christ. Matthew. 19 verse 16 to 24.
16: We have left everything & followed you. What will we have Peter asked. Christ replied, be sure that when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the New Age, you twelve followers of mine will also sit on thrones, to rule. All who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times more & will be given eternal life. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 19 verse 27 to 30, the end.
16B: Jesus answered: Yes, all of you have become my followers. And so in the future world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, I promise you will sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Says Christ, in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 19 verse 28.
17: Many who now are first will be last, and many who now are last will be first. Says Christ In Matthew 19 verse 30.
18: After the Sabbath as Sunday morning was dawning Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. Says Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 28 verse 1.
19: Go and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this I am with you always even to the end of the age. (Notice!! Christ told his disciples these as he got up from the grave). Says New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 28 verse 19 to 20.
20: A lady who used evil spirit to tell the future and earn money followed Paul and the rest of them shouting, 'These men are servants of the Most High God telling you how to be saved. Paul cast out the evil spirit in her in the name of Jesus Christ. Says Acts 16 verse 16 to 18.
Notice: This proves that evil spirit can see vision too.
20B: So as the master of the lady felt that Paul and Silas had spoilt his source of income from the lady’s magic future telling, he ganged up against Paul and Silas that they preach false message, and Paul and Silas were stripped, they were severely beaten with wooden rods and were thrown into prison. They prayed and sang in the prison and the earthquake happened there and their chains fell off. The prison guard wanted to commit suicide as Paul and Silas were chain less, and they stopped him, and he asked them what to do to be saved, and they told him to believe in Christ both his family to be saved. They preached to him and his household and they baptized them and they were converted to God Almighty. Paul and Silas were officially freed later from the prison. Notice!!! this is just a summary of the story. Says Acts 16 verse 19 to 40, the end.
Notice!! This shows that it is not only in the church building that we can preach or work for God. So, Paul and Silas converted someone for God even in the prison.
21: A teacher of the Law asked. What is the most important commandment? Jesus replied, you have only one Lord & God, love him with all your soul & strength, second is love others as you love yourself. Also Christ replied, no other commandment is more important than these. 32 The man replied to Jesus that he is right, that these two commandments are more important than all the sacrifices and offerings that we could possibly make. Christ saw that he gave a sensible answer & told him that he is not far from heaven. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Mark 12 verse 28 to 34.
22: (Notice!! Good News Translation bible, King James Version bible and New Living Translation bible add animal burnt offering in the verse 33 of this Mark chapter 12)
23: Two things I ask God before I die, keep me from lying, do not let me be rich or poor. Give me only as much food as I need. If I have more, I might say that I do not need you. But if I am poor, I might steal and bring disgrace on my God. Notice!! Agur son of Jakeh. Says Proverbs 30 verse 7 to 9.
24: Animal that takes a human life I will punish it with death, and I will punish anyone that kills. Says Good News Translation. Genesis 9 verse 5.
25: Any human who commit murder shall be put to death, says Leviticus 24 verse 17.
25B: A man who blasphemed against God Almighty was brought to him and he told Moses that the Israelites should use stones to kill the man who blasphemed against his name, which they killed him. God also commanded the Israelites there that even they shall personally kill any human among them or a foreigner who blasphemes against his name. (Notice!! In the new testament no human kills another human again) Says, Leviticus 24 verse 10 to 23. The end.
25C: Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted— 20 a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind. I am the Lord your God.” Says Leviticus 24 verse 19 to 23. The end.
26: Apostle John fell down to worship God's Angel who gave him message but the Angel told him (“No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Christ. Worship only God. Says Revelation 19 verse 9 to 10.
27: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked or sinners, who does not follow their advice, example, or standing in their path or sit down to rest in the seat of scoffers. Says Amplified Version Bible. Psalm 1 verse 1.
28: Be holy, for I am holy, says 1 Peter 1 verse 16.
29: God has no favorite. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as temporary residents. Says 1 Peter 1 verse 17.
30: Yow were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver and gold which lose their value, but with the precious blood of Christ without blemish or spot. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Peter 1 verse 18 to 19.
30B: Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Always be humble and gentle. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 4 verse 2.
31: Be angry, and sin not. let not the sun go down upon your anger. Says Amplified version bible. Ephesians 4 verse 26.
32: Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ. Says Ephesians 4 verse 32.
33: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Says King James Version bible. Hebrews 13 verse 2.
34: Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are. Says Good News Translation bible. Hebrews 13 verse 3.
34B: Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” 6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas or doctrines. Says Hebrews 13 verse 5 to 9.
35: There is no permanent city for us here on earth, we are looking for the city which is to come. Says Hebrews 13 verse 14.
36: Don't forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God. Says New Living Translation bible. Hebrews 13 verse 16.
37: But to keep me from being puffed up with pride because of the many wonderful things I saw I was given a painful physical ailment which acts as Satan's messenger to beat me and keep me from being proud. Three times I prayed to God about it and asked him to take it away. But his answer was, 'My grace is all you need, my power is greatest when you are weak. I am most happy to be proud of my weaknesses in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me. I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak then I am strong. Says in Good New Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 12 verse 7 to 10.
38: But God removed Saul & replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do. Says New Living Translation bible or in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Acts 13 verse 22.
39: Notice!! So if David could fail God even your best pastor can also.
40: Bring your tithe, for the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled. Says Deuteronomy 26 verse 12.
41: Pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses. Says, Deuteronomy 14 verse 8.
Notice!! This Deuteronomy chapter 14 talks about animals that we were to eat according to the Old Testament.
41B: Then go to the place where God has chosen to be worshiped and there in his presence eat the tithes of your grain, wine, and olive oil, and the first-born of your cattle and sheep. Says, Deuteronomy 14 verse 23.
Notice!! This proofs that a pastor who tells his followers to give him all the tithe for only himself is a scammer, because God says here that you are to eat part of your tithe before him. Though remember that the tithe that we pay today after Christ according to John 13 verse 34 to 35 and Luke 3 verse 7 to 11 is using all we have to care for others and preaching to them.
42: Notice!! So this is how believers paid their tithe in the New Testament Bible: All the believers were with one mind and shared among themselves all they had with one mind without saying that any of their belonging belong to any of them, and there was no needy person among them. Says in Good News Translation bible in, Acts 4 verse 32 to 35.
Notice!! Please preach these to all pastors, if we do this there would be no hunger in any church who collect from people.
46: False prophet or false dreamer that misleads you, or your brother or your son or your daughter or your wife you love that suggests to you about worshipping another god, you must kill him or her. Be the first to stone him or her without pity or without protecting him or her, and other people must follow you to stone him or her to death. Also, any town that you live among that worship idol you must kill them by stoning, destroy and burn the town completely as a burnt offering to God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Says New Living Translation bible, Deuteronomy chapter 13.
Notice!! You must never personally kill any human in this New Testament anymore, but this is just to show you the Old Testament judgement, which we too shall never wish bad to any human anymore, nor call any human witch anymore.
46B: But any false prophet who claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’ 21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ 22 If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared. Says Deuteronomy 18 verse 20 to 21 the end.
47: By now you should have been teachers, but once again you need to be taught the simplest things about what God has said. You need milk instead of solid food. Says Hebrews 5 verse 12.
47B: There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. 12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teachers to others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. Says Hebrews 5 verse 11 to 14 the end.
Notice!! If you read this Hebrews chapter 5 backwards from Hebrews chapter 3, it says that our 1st pastors were preaching to all the brothers and sisters in Christ about the order of Christ being our new High Priest. So as bible began to have verses from the year 1560s, so Hebrews chapter 3 was the same letter which carried on till Hebrews chapter 5 where they told all the believers that they were supposed to be all teachers but that they were lazy still. So who says that not all are called to be teachers misunderstands Apostle James. Everyone in Christ who studies Christ’s words daily can preach, including you.
47C: God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. 1 Corinthians 12 verse 28 to 31.
47D: Notice: So when anyone quotes James 3 verse 1 that says that not all are called to be preachers, tell him that it was referring to a lazy set of believers, so Paul says in Hebrews chapter 5 that by now that believers are all supposed to be preachers if they were not lazy. Those are why Christ says in John 14:12 that any believer at all can do more than he did. So anyone that reads all Christ’s words daily and practices them can be a preacher, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12 verse 31 that you shall desire the greater gifts, which means you can be above any of those gifts if not lazy, and those are why Christ says in Matthew 21 verse 21 to 22 that if you believe that you can receive anything you ask for. So if you study all his words and pray towards it you too can be a preacher.
47E: People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right. 11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Says James 3 verse 7 to 11.
47F: But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. 15 For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. 16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. 17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. Says James 3 verse 14 to 17.
48: Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 7 It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were my laws. 8 You put aside God's command and obey human teachings. 9 And Jesus continued, “You have a clever way of rejecting God's law in order to uphold your own teaching. Says Christ. Mark 7 verse 6 to 9.
48B: For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother, and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death. 11 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you. 12 In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents. 13 And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.” Says Christ. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Mark 7 verse 10 to 13.
48C: Notice!! Good News Translation Bible says there: (And there are many other things like this that you do)
48D: A woman came to Christ begging him to heal her daughter from evil demonic spirit. Christ told her to go back home, that she will see her daughter healed from the demonic evil witches spirits. She went home and found her child lying on the bed; the demon had indeed gone out of her daughter. Good News Translation Bible and New Living Translation Bible. Mark 7 verse 25 to 30.
48E: Notice!! So, Christ did not tell the woman to kill the child, that the child has demonic witches in her, like some pastors say today, but he healed the child.
49: Bad companions ruin good character. Do not be fooled. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 15 verse 33.
50: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the God's Kingdom, we'll not die, as trumpet sounds the dead will be raised, mortal will put on immortality. Says 1 Corinthians 15 verse 50 to 58.
50B: I am the least of all the apostles, I do not even deserve to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted God's church. I have worked harder than any of the other Apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace. Says Paul. 1 Corinthians 15 verse 9 to 10.
51: Call to me when trouble comes, I will save you. Says Psalm 50 verse 15.
51B: Christ saw a man who was sick for 38 in the pool of Bethesda. He asked him if he would like to walk again, but the man was saying that no one to put him in the pool. Christ did not tell him to jump in the pool to get well, but he told him to stand up and walk that he was healed. Which happened. Says John 5 verse 1 to 9.
52: Christ healed a lame man who was sick for 38 years and told him that he is healed, to stop sinning or something worse may happen to him again. Says John 5 verse 5 to 14.
52B: For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son. Says Christ. John 5 verse 22.
52C: You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. John 5 verse 39 to 40.
53: Do not do your good deeds in public like hypocrites. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. Says Christ. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 6 verse 1 to 4.
53B: Notice!! Good News Translation bible says, do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it.
53C: Our Lord's prayer. Says Christ. In Matthew 6 verse 9 to 13.
54: If you don't forgive others that wronged you God will not forgive you, but if you do God will forgive yours too. Says Matthew 6 verse 14 to 15.
55: Store not your wealth in this world where there are thieves, moths, but in heaven. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also. Jesus says. In Matthew 6 verse 19 to 21.
56: But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is. Says New Living Translation bible. Matthew 6 verse 23.
57: You can't serve two masters. You'll either hate one and love the other, you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and money. Says Christ, in New International Version bible or Good News Translation bible. Matthew 6 verse 24.
57B: (Notice!!! But King James Version bible calls it Mammon)
58: Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by people but chosen by God as valuable. Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ. Says Good News Translation bible, 1 Peter 2 verse 4 to 5.
Notice!! Concerning just this above you just read, Contemporary English Version bible says, come to Jesus Christ.
59: For you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 2 verse 9.
Notice!! King James Version Bible calls it a holy nation.
59B: Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 2 verse 12.
59C: For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. 22 He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. Says 1 Peter 2 verse 21 to 22.
60: I am writing this to you, my children, so that you will not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf, Jesus Christ, the righteous one. 2 And Christ himself is the means by which our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also the sins of everyone. 3 If we obey God's commands, then we are sure that we know him. 4 If we say that we know him, but do not obey his commands, we are liars and there is no truth in us. 5 But if we obey his word, we are the ones whose love for God has really been made perfect. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God: 6 if we say that we remain in union with God, we should live just as Jesus Christ did. Says 1 John 2 verse 1 to 6.
60B: Christ is the sacrifice that atones for our sins, and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 John 2 verse 1 to 2.
60C: My dear friends, this command I am writing you is not new; it is the old command, the one you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the message you have already heard. 8 However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ and also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining. 9 If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour. 10 If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin. 11 But if we hate others, we are in the darkness; we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 7 to 11.
60D: If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour. Says 1 John 2 verse 9.
61: Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father. Everything that belongs to the world, what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of—none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world. The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever. Says 1 John 2 verse 15 to 17.
61B: But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you do not need any man to teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 27.
61C: But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 27.
61D Notice!! As the above says that The Lord has anointed you so, you do not need any special anointing from any human being to work for God Almighty.
61E: But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ. Says in Good News Translation Bible and New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 27.
62: Don't think you can escape punishment by saying that Abraham is your ancestor. God can make descendants for Abraham with rock. The ax is ready to cut down the trees at the roots; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown in the fire. Says Matthew 3 verse 9 to 10.
62B When John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to be baptized, he said to them, “You snakes—who told you that you could escape from the punishment God is about to send? 8 Do those things that will show that you have turned from your sins. Says Matthew 3 verse 7 to 8.
62C: Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. 2 Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters. 1 Timothy 5 verse 1 to 2.
63: Now a true widow, a woman who is truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God. She prays night and day, asking God for his help. 6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. Says New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 5 verse 5 to 6.
63B: And these things command, that they may be blameless. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Says New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 5 verse 7 to 8.
Notice: New Living Translation Bible says, give these instructions to the church so that no one will be open to criticism. Says 1 Timothy 5 verse 7.
63C: Rebuke publicly all those who commit sins, so that the rest may be afraid. Says 1 Timothy 5 verse 20.
64: Do not lay hands on anyone hastily to dedicate them to God's service, take no part in the sins of others. Says 1 Timothy 5 verse 22.
65: When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people. It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 5 verse 9 to 13 the end.
66: Notice!! It is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning, but King James Version bible calls it fornicator. says 1 Corinthians 5 verse 9 to 13.
55B: Dear friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. 5 But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he’s the one to fear. Says Christ, Luke 12 verse 4 to 5.
67: A man in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left us.” 14 Jesus answered him, “Friend, who gave me the right to judge or to divide the property between you two?” 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own. Says Christ in New Living Translation bible. Luke 12 verse 13 to 15.
67A: And he went on to say to them all, "Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be. Says Jesus in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 12 verse 15.
68: Then Jesus told them this parable: “There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops. 17 He began to think to himself, ‘I don't have a place to keep all my crops. What can I do? 18 This is what I will do,’ he told himself; ‘I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store the grain and all my other goods. 19 Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’” 21 And Jesus concluded, “This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight. Says Luke 12 verse 16 to 21.
69: Then Jesus said to the disciples, “And so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body. 23 Life is much more important than food, and the body much more important than clothes. 24 Look at the crows: they don't plant seeds or gather a harvest; they don't have storage rooms or barns; God feeds them! You are worth so much more than birds! 25 Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? 26 If you can't manage even such a small thing, why worry about the other things? 27 Look how the wild flowers grow: they don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. 28 It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have! 29 “So don't be all upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink. 30 (For the pagans of this world are always concerned about all these things.) Your Father knows that you need these things. 31 Instead, be concerned with his Kingdom, and he will provide you with these things. Says Christ. Luke 12 verse 22 to 31.
70: So, don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. 33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. 34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Says Christ, in New Living Translation bible. Luke 12 verse 32 to 34.
70B: The servant who knows what his master wants him to do, but does not get himself ready and do it, will be punished with a heavy whipping. 48 But the servant who does not know what his master wants, and yet does something for which he deserves a whipping, will be punished with a light whipping. Much is required from the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom much more is given. Says Christ. Luke 12 verse 47 to 48.
71: And when you ask, you do not receive it, because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own pleasures. 4 Unfaithful people! Don't you know that to be the world's friend means to be God's enemy? If you want to be the world's friend, you make yourself God's enemy. Says, James 4 verse 3 to 4.
71B: Submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you. James 4 verse 7.
72: There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, who's able to save & destroy. who are you to judge your neighbor. Says Good News Translation bible. James 4 verse 12.
73: However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says, 49 ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that?’ asks the Lord. ‘Could you build me such a resting place?
50 Didn’t my hands make both heaven and earth? Acts 7 verse 54 to 60.
73B: When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Says King James Version Bible. Acts 7 verse 54 to 60.
74: Don't use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as d way u fix your hair, or the jewelry u put on, or the dresses you wear. Instead your beauty should consist of your true inner self, the ageless beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of the greatest value in God's sight. (Notice!!! King James Version bible calls it Plait). Says Good News Translation bible. 1 Peter 3 verse 3 to 4.
75: Husbands honor your wives. Treat her with understanding. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered. Says 1 Peter 3 verse 7.
76: To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another. 9 Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised to give you when he called you. 10 As the scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep from speaking evil and stop telling lies. 11 You must turn away from evil and do good; you must strive for peace with all your heart. 12 For the Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers; but he opposes those who do evil. Says Good News Translation bible. 1 Peter 3 verse 8 to 12.
77: Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. 10 For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies. 11 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. 12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil. Says New Living Translation bible. 1 Peter 3 verse 8 to 12.
77B: The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil. Says 1 Peter 3 verse 12.
78: And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 1.
78B: Don’t be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 2.
79: Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. Says Good News Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 2.
80: Do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest in your thinking, and judge yourself according to the amount of faith that God has given you. 4 We have many parts in the one body, and all these parts have different functions. 5 In the same way, though we are many, we are one body in union with Christ, and we are all joined to each other as different parts of one body. 6 So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God's message, we should do it according to the faith that we have; 7 if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach; 8 if it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully. 9 Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. 10 Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one another. Says Good News Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 3 to 10.
80A: When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Says New Living Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 13.
80B: Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers. Says Good News Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 13.
80C: Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 14 to 16.
80D: Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 16.
81E: If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good. 18 Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody. Says Good News Translation Bible. Romans 12 verse 17 to 18.
80F: Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Says New Living Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 18.
80G: Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Says Good News Translation Bible. Romans 12 verse 19.
80H: Instead, as the scripture says: “If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing this you will make them burn with shame. Says Romans 12 verse 20.
80J: Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good. Says Romans 12 verse 21.
81: An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them should be thought of as the greatest. 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the pagans have power over their people, and the rulers claim the title ‘Friends of the People.’ 26 But this is not the way it is with you; rather, the greatest one among you must be like the youngest, and the leader must be like the servant. 27 Who is greater, the one who sits down to eat or the one who serves? The one who sits down, of course. But I am among you as one who serves. Says Christ. Luke 22 verse 24 to 27.
82: Do not plant two kinds of seed in the same field. Do not wear clothes made of two kinds of material. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Leviticus 19 verse 19.
Notice!! Concerning the clothes, King James Version Bible calls it, linen and woollen garments.
82B: Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head or trim your beard. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Leviticus 19 verse 27.
(Notice!! Concerning this you just did read, New International Version Bible Translation says clip off the edges of your beard, Amplified Version Bible Translation says mar) So these are to show us what are in the Old Testament Bible. So who does were clothes of two different martials or who cuts hair style and trims his bears, to avoid hell fire he or she should also know that (Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live prayer) is only written in the Old Testament Bible Exodus 22 verse 18, it is not written in the New Testament Bible. So we can not use it to condemn any human sinner in the New Testament today again. No witch can kill the souls of the pure Christ’s followers proves Christ in Luke 10 verse 19, and in Luke 6 verse 46 to 49. But even if their flesh are killed know that God Almighty wants to take their souls to heaven just like Stephen who was killed by humans, and he made heaven.
83: Do not follow the majority when they do wrong or when they give testimony that perverts justice. Says Good News Translation bible. Exodus 23 verse 2.
84: This was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from death. 15 After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these? “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. 16 Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. 17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep. (Notice!! Good News Translation bible says Take care of my sheep). Says Christ. John 21 verse 14 to 17.
84B: Now, there are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written. Says John 21 verse 25.
85: Don't think that God's weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help, it is because of your sins that he doesn't hear you, it separates you from him. Says Isaiah 59 verse 1 to the end.
86: Evil spirit that was living inside a man called Legion saw Jesus and recognized him & called his name asked him what do you want from me!! He begged that Jesus drives him inside pigs which did. The man became well after Jesus drove out the demonic spirit. Says Mark 5 verse 1 to 20.
87: The daily food requirements for Solomon’s palace were 150 bushels of flour and 300 bushels of meal, also cows fat oxen all together, 100 sheep or goats. As well as other animals like deer, gazelles and fowls. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Kings 4 verse 22 to 23.
88: NOTICE: If you convert 150 bushels of flour into KG it gives five thousand Kilograms of flour, and 300 bushels of meal gives ten thousand kilograms of food meals.
89: I have seen everything done in this world, and I tell you, it is all useless. It is like chasing the wind (Solomon says). In Good News Translation bible. Ecclesiastes 1 verse 14.
89B: What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1 verse 9.
90: Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas were also killed in a war between the Israelites and the Philistines who also killed thirty thousand Israeli armies the same day and took the Ark of God. When the messenger told Eli the priest what happened, Eli fell backward from his seat and broke his neck and died. Eli’s daughter-in-law the wife of Phinehas who was pregnant heard all that happened, and due to that she went into early child delivery labor and died. She named her baby son Ekabod (which means “Where is the glory?”) Then she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been captured. Says, 1 Samuel 4 verse 1 to 22, the end.
90B: I did say that your house and of Aaron shall be priest forever, but now no more. I will honor those who honor me, and despise those who despise me. Says Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Samuel 2 verse 30.
90C: The Lord gives both death and life; he brings some down to the grave but raises others up, Says 1 Samuel 2 verse 6.
90D: Now the sons of Eli were worthless men who had no respect for God and they also had no respect for their duties as priests. They would send servants to use pronged fork to deep into the meat sacrifice being offered to God to get any meat that comes out for them. All the offerings of the Israelites who came to Shiloh were treated this way. Sometimes the servants they send will demand raw meat that is being offered to God to be given to Eli’s sons for their personal use. Sometimes who is offering the meat will tell them allow the fat to be burned then you will take the other ones as you want, but the servants will say, no, give it to me now or we will take it by force. This sin of the sons of Eli was extremely serious in God's sight, because they treated the offerings to the Lord with such disrespect. Now Eli was very old, and he knew the evil his sons were doing to the people of Israel and how they were sleeping with the young women who assisted at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Eli warned his sons to stop the evil they were doing but they refused to stop, for God had decided to kill them. A prophet prophesied to Eli that God gave Aaron his ancestor order to have some parts of the offering, but that why did he not seriously warn his children to stop being greedy from the portion of God’s sacrifices? He also asked Eli, do you honor your children more than God by letting them eat and get fat from God’s portion of sacrifices? 30 Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ‘I did indeed say that your house and that of Aaron your father would walk in priestly service before Me forever.’ But now the Lord declares, ‘Far be it from Me, for those who honor Me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disgraced. 31 He told Eli that God will put an end to his family, so it will no longer serve as his priests. That all the members of his family will die before their time. None will reach old age. 33 Yet I will keep one of your descendants alive, and he will serve me as priest, but he will become blind and lose all hope, and all your other descendants will die a violent death. I will cause your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, to die on the same day! 35 I will choose a priest who will be faithful to me and do everything I want him to do, and your surviving families will go to that priest and beg for food to satisfy their hunger, and they will beg to do some job among the priests to be able to get something to eat. Says 1 Samuel 2 verse 12 to 36, the end.
91: Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Says 2 Timothy 3 verse 12.
91B: In the last days people will love only themselves and money, they will be unloving and unforgiving, hey will slander others and have no self-control, they will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. (Notice!! This is just a brief) Says 2 Timothy chapter 3.
92: Eyes have not seen, ear has not heard, heart of man has not imagined who God has prepared for his lovers. Says 1 Corinthians 2 verse 9.
92B: I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. Says New Living Translation bible. 1 Corinthians 2 verse 4 to 5.
92C: I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. 6 Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten. 7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God, his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. 8 But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. 9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepare for those who love him. 10 But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. 11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 13 When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths. 14 But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. 15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. 16 For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him? But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. Says 1 Corinthians 2 verse 1 to 16 the end.
93: You must not be called ‘Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. 9 And you must not call anyone here on earth ‘Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. 10 Nor should you be called ‘Leader,’ because your one and only leader is the Messiah. 11 The greatest one among you must be your servant. 12 Whoever makes himself great will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be made great. Says Christ. Matthew 23 verse 8 to 12.
94: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 23 verse 14.
95: What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 13.
96: What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 15.
97: What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 23.
98: 25 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! 26 You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too. 27 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. 28 Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 25 to 28.
99: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Paul says. Philippians 1 verse 21.
100: It is a hard choice to make. I want to die and be with Christ, because that would be much better. Paul says. Philippians 1 verse 23.
101: False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. 2 Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. 3 In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake. Says 2 Peter 2 verse 1 to 3.
102: God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell fire, where they are kept chained in darkness, waiting for the Day of Judgment. Says 2 Peter 2 verse 4.
102B: For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly. Says King James Version Bible. 2 Peter 2 verse 4 to 5.
103: It would have been much better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and then turn away from the sacred command that was given them. Says 2 Peter 2 verse 21.
104: Fake Prophets would be fed bitterness of wormwood, and be given poisonous water of gall to drink, leading you into futility, speak vision of their mind & imagination. Says Amplified Version Bible. Jeremiah 23 verse 15 to 40.
105: Go to the lost sheep of the people of Israel. 7 Go and preach, ‘The Kingdom of heaven is near!’ 8 Heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, heal those who suffer from dreaded skin diseases, and drive out demons. You have received without paying, so give without being paid. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 6 to 8.
105B: You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 22.
106: Fear not those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, rather be afraid of God, who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 28.
106B: And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When you are persecuted in one town, run away to another one. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 22 to 23.
107: Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword. 35 ‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 Your enemies will be right in your own household!’ Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 34 to 36.
Notice!! As Christ says that, don’t imagine that he came to bring peace, he mainly means that his messages will make families or people to disagree with his followers and even fight them and hate them, due to Satan in those who fight his followers which makes them to hate the true messages of Christ. Those are why Christ tells us in the verse 23 of the same Matthew 10, that if they fight us in one town run to another. So, Christ does not mean that we shall be revenging on sinners whom he died for. Christ’s only enemy is Satan who enters into people to sin, but not people themselves.
108: If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. 38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. 39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 37 to 42. The end.
110: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 5 verse 1 to 2.
111: Appeal to the church elders among you. I am a witness of Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that will be revealed. I appeal to you 2 to be shepherds of the flock that God gave you and to take care of it willingly, as God wants you to, and not unwillingly. Do your work, not for mere pay, but from a real desire to serve. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 5 verse 1 to 2.
112: Don’t be bossy to those people who are in your care, but set an example for them. Then when Christ the Chief Shepherd returns, you will be given a crown that will never lose its glory. All of you young people should obey your elders. In fact, everyone should be humble toward everyone else. The Scriptures say, “God opposes proud people, but he helps everyone who is humble.” Be humble in the presence of God’s mighty power, and he will honor you when the time comes. Says Contemporary English Version Bible. 1 Peter 5 verse 3 to 6.
113: Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ. I praise you for holding the tradition I pass to you. Paul spoke to church. (Notice!! Down of this speaks of covering hair). 1 Corinthians 11 verse 1 to 2.
114: For in death there is no remembrance of thee, in the grave who shall give thee thanks. Says Psalm 6 verse 5.
115: For the living know that they shall die. Says Ecclesiastes 9 verse 5.
115B: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 1 to 2.
116: For you died to this world, and your new real life is hidden with Christ in God. Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 3.
116B: You must put to death the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry). Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 5.
117: Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 14.
117B: Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Colossians 3 verse 14.
118: From Christ's sacrificial death he freed us from our sins and made us a kingdom of priests to serve his God & Father. Says Revelation 1 verse 5 to 6.
119: The righteous man perishes [at the hand of evil], and no one takes it to heart; Faithful and devout men are taken away, while no one understands
That the righteous person is taken away [to be spared] from disaster and evil. He enters into peace through death. They rest in their beds graves. Each one who walked uprightly following God’s will, living with integrity. Says Amplified Version Bible. Isaiah 57 verse 1 to 2.
120: Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die. Says New Living Translation Bible. Isaiah 57 verse 1 to 2.
121: Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed. Says Christ. Mark 16 verse 15 to 18.
122: Notice!!! This verse 17 of Mark Chapter 16 I just read above means all of us can do it.
122B: After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. Says, Mark 16 verse 9.
123: But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 8 verse 6.
124: Notice!! So, one who knows his right in Christ does not necessarily need a pastor as his mediator.
124B: The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. 2 If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. 3 But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year. 4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. 6 You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin. 7 Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God— as is written about me in the Scriptures.’” 8 First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). 9 Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. 10 For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. 11 Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 12 But Christ our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time forever. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. 18 So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed. 19 We have, then, my friends, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus. 20 He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain, that is, through his own body into the Most Holy Place. Hebrews 10 verse 1 to 20.
125: So, God does away with all the old sacrifices and puts the sacrifice of Christ in their place. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 10 verse 9.
125B: Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 10 verse 9.
126: Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. Says Hebrews 10 verse 26.
127: Great crowd followed Christ as he was going. He made them to sit down under grasses. Him & his Apostles sought for food to feed them & sought for two fish and five loaves of bread they got from a boy & shared them with the people. Says John 6 verse 1 to 15.
128: After Christ fed the 5,000 they wanted to make him king by force for what he did, and he noticed and escaped. Says John 6 verse 15.
129: They found him on the other side of the lake and asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs. 27 But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.” Says John 6 verse 25 to 27.
129: So they asked him, “What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?” 29 Jesus answered, “What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent. John 6 verse 28 to 29.
130: Notice!!! If Christ never showed the people love by feeding them first he may not have got them to preach to them.
131: Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me, Christ says. John 6 verse 37.
132: I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh. Says Christ. John 6 verse 47 to 51.
132B: Many of Christ's disciples felt that his message was too hard for them and left him. He turned to the twelve Apostles and asked them if they want to go too. Then Christ said, “That is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me. He told them that one of them being Judas will betray him. Says, John 6 verse 60 to 70.
133: That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. Says New Living Translation Bible. Acts 17 verse 10 to 11.
134: He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25 and human hands can’t serve his needs, for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. Says New Living Translation Bible. Acts 17 verse 24 to 25.
135: From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. Says New Living Translation Bible. Acts 17 verse 26.
136: God can send a bad ruler to punish his people who sin like he used King Nebuchadnezzar and calls him his servant to punish Judah. Says Amplified Version Bible. Jeremiah 25 verse 9.
137: God says to his people, When you became slaves no money was paid for you, in the same way nothing will be paid to set you free. Says Isaiah 52 verse 3.
138: He who thinks he stands firm be careful, take heed lest you fall. Says 1 Corinthians 10 verse 12.
139: All your temptations do normally come to everyone. He'll not let you be tempted beyond your ability, he'll give you the way of escape. Says 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13.
140 Melchizedek was both king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He was the one who went out and gave Abraham his blessing, when Abraham returned from killing the kings. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 7 verse 1.
Notice!! King James Version Bible calls it slaughter of the kings. This is to show wars that happened in the Old Testament Bible, which we don’t do again due to Christ. Abraham fought who captured Lot which is also referenced in Genesis 14 verse 17.
140B: Now the law of Moses required that the priests, who are descendants of Levi, must collect a tithe from the rest of the people of Israel, who are also descendants of Abraham. 8 The priests who collect tithes are men who die. Says Hebrews 7 verse 5 to 8.
140C: If the priesthood is changed the law must also be changed to permit it. 18 Old priesthood was set aside due to its weakness, Christ is forever High Priest without sin. 20 This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron’s descendants became priests without such an oath, 21 but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him, “The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: ‘You are a priest forever.’” 22 Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God. 22 Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God. 28 The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 7 verse 11 to 28, the end.
140D: For, on the one hand, a former commandment is cancelled because of its weakness and uselessness, because of its inability to justify the sinner before God. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 7 verse 18.
140E: The Law of Moses appoints men who are imperfect to be high priests; but God's promise made with the vow, which came later than the Law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 7 verse 28.
141: The whole point of what we are saying is that we have such a High Priest, who sits at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in heaven. 2 He serves as high priest in the heavenly Tabernacle, that is, in the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. 3 Every high priest is appointed to present offerings and animal sacrifices to God, and so our High Priest must also have something to offer. 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts required by the Jewish Law. 5 The work they do as priests is really only a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. 6 But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. Says in New Living Translation Bible and Good News Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 1 to 6.
141B: Now Jesus our High Priest has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood. He mediates for us for better covenant. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 verse 6.
141C: 7 If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. 8 But when God found fault with the people, he said: 9 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on them, says the Lord. 10 But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest will know me already. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 verse 7 to 11.
141D: By God speaking of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 verse 13, the end.
142: That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 1.
(Notice!! Reading down explains it all)
143: 2 A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God. 3 Behind the second curtain was the tent called the Most Holy Place. 4 In it were the gold altar for the burning of incense and the Covenant Box all covered with gold and containing the gold jar with the manna in it, Aaron's stick that had sprouted leaves, and the two stone tablets with the commandments written on them. 5 Above the Box were the winged creatures representing God's presence, with their wings spread over the place where sins were forgiven. 6 This is how those things have been arranged. The priests go into the outer tent every day to perform their duties, 7 but only the high priest goes into the inner tent, and he does so only once a year. He takes with him blood which he offers to God on behalf of himself and for the sins which the people have committed without knowing they were sinning. 9 This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper's heart perfect. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 2 to 9. Hebrews 9 verse 2 to 9.
144: since they have to do only with food, drink, and various purification ceremonies. These are all outward rules, which apply only until the time when God will establish the new order. 11 But Christ has already come as the High Priest of the good things that are already here. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. 12 When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, he did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, he took his own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us. Says in Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 10 to 12.
145: So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. Hebrews 9 verse 11.
146: Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer could cleanse people’s bodies from ceremonial impurity. 14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 13 to 14.
147: And for this reason, Christ is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 15.
148: For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in effect. 16 In the case of a will it is necessary to prove that the person who made a will has died, 17 for a will means nothing while the person who made it is still alive; it goes into effect only after the person who made it is dead. Says in Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 15 to 17.
149: In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 22.
150: That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals. 24 For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf. 25 And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place year after year with the blood of an animal. 26 If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 23 to 26.
150B: And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, Says Hebrews 9 verse 27.
150C: So also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Says Hebrews 9 verse 28, the end.
150D: By these regulations the Holy Spirit revealed that the entrance to the Most Holy Place was not freely open as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. Says in New Living Translation Bible and New International Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 8.
151: Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum? When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Christ says. Matthew 9 verse 10 to 13.
151B: Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Says, Matthew 9 verse 35 to 38 the end.
152: Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee (by the sea side). A crowd came to him, and he started teaching them. 14 As he walked along, he saw a tax collector, Levi son of Alphaeus, sitting in his office. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him. Mark 2 verse 13 to 14.
152B: Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) 16 But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?17 Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) 16 But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum? 17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners. Says Christ. Mark 2 verse 15 to 17.
152B: When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers ! 2 Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? 3 Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. 4 If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church? 5 I am saying this to shame you. Isn’t there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues? 6 But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers! 7 Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your fellow believers. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 1 to 8.
153: Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts 10 or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves—none of these will possess God's Kingdom. 11 Some of you were like that. But you have been purified from sin; you have been dedicated to God; you have been put right with God by the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Says New Living Translation Bible or Good News Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 9 to 11.
154: Run away from sexual immorality in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. Says Amplified Version Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 18.
155: (Notice!! Greek bible calls it porneian, prostitution. Oxford Dictionary also explains it as 'The unworthy or corrupt use of one's talents for personal or financial gain.
156: Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God. Says 1 Corinthians 6 verse 19.
157: he bought you for a price. So, use your bodies for God's glory. Says 1 Corinthians 6 verse 20. The end.
158: Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together? 15 How can Christ and the Devil agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 How can God's temple come to terms with pagan idols? For we are the temple of the living God! As God himself has said, “I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” 17 And so the Lord says, “You must leave them and separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with what is unclean, and I will accept you. 18 I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. Says 2 Corinthians 6 verse 14 to 18 the end.
159: The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins. Says 2 Peter 3 verse 9.
160: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a terrible noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish. 11 Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? Your lives should be holy and dedicated to God, 12 as you wait for the Day of God and do your best to make it come soon—the Day when the heavens will burn up and be destroyed, and the heavenly bodies will be melted by the heat. 13 But we wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home. 14 And so, my friends, as you wait for that Day, do your best to be pure and faultless in God's sight and to be at peace with him. Says New Living Translation Bible. 2 Peter 3 verse 10 to 14.
160B: 13 But we wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home. Says 2 Peter 3 verse 13.
161: Look on our Lord's patience as the opportunity he is giving you to be saved, just as our dear friend Paul wrote to you, using the wisdom that God gave him. 16 This is what he says in all his letters when he writes on the subject. There are some difficult things in his letters which ignorant and unstable people explain falsely, as they do with other passages of the Scriptures. So they bring on their own destruction. 17 But you, my friends, already know this. Be on your guard, then, so that you will not be led away by the errors of lawless people and fall from your safe position. 18 But continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, now and forever! Amen. Says 2 Peter 3 verse 15 to 18. The end.
161B: What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That’s why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 9 verse 18.
162: I am nobody's slave, but I make myself everybody's slave in order to win as many as possible for Christ. Says 1 Corinthians 9 verse 19.
162B: When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. 21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. 22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. 23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. Says 1 Corinthians 9 verse 20-23.
162C: I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. Says Paul, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 9 verse 27, the end.
164: I give you a new commandment, love one another with unselfish concern as I've loved you, so everyone will know that you are my disciples. Jesus says. Amplified Version Bible. John 13 verse 34 to 35.
165: My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Says in New International Version Bible for the best explanation. James 2 verse 1.
165B: Never you treat people differently according to their outward appearance. Suppose a rich man wearing a gold ring and fine clothes comes to your meeting, and a poor man in ragged clothes also comes if you show more respect to the well-dressed man and say to him, have this best seat here but say to the poor man stand over there or sit here on the floor by my feet then you are guilty of creating distinctions among yourselves and of making judgments based on evil motives. 5 Listen, God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him. You Will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, (Love your neighbor as u love yourself). If you treat people according to their outward appearance, you are guilty of sin, and the Law condemns you as a lawbreaker. Says Good News Translation Bible. James 2 verse 1 to 9.
166: Listen, my dear friends, God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him. Says James 2 verse 5.
168: Whoever breaks one commandment is guilty of breaking them all. Says James 2 verse 10.
Notice!!! (Whoever breaks one commandment broke them all) does not mean that we can continue in sin, because Christ says in Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23 that even his followers who do not live righteously shall never make heaven. So this also mainly means that we had once sinned before.
168B: God will not show mercy when he judges the person who has not been merciful; but mercy triumphs over judgement. Says James 2 verse 13.
169: Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. 16 What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!”—if you don't give them the necessities of life? 17 So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. Says James 2 verse 15 to 17.
170: Do you believe that there is only one God Good! The demons also believe and tremble with fear. Says James 2 verse 19.
171: it is by our actions that we are put right with God, and not by our faith alone. Says James 2 verse 24.
172: It was the same with the prostitute Rahab. She was put right with God through her actions, by welcoming the Israelite spies and helping them to escape by a different road. 26 So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead. Says James 2 verse 25 to 26.
173: Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me. Says Christ. Luke 11 verse 23.
173B: When an evil spirit goes out of a person, it travels over dry country looking for a place to rest. If it can't find one, it says to itself, ‘I will go back to my house.’ 25 So it goes back and finds the house clean and all fixed up. 26 Then it goes out and brings seven other spirits even worse than itself, and they come and live there. So when it is all over, that person is in worse shape than at the beginning. Says Christ. Luke 11 verse 24 to 26.
174: As the crowd pressed in on Jesus, he said, “This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah. 30 What happened to him was a sign to the people of Nineveh that God had sent him. What happens to the Son of Man will be a sign to these people that he was sent by God. Says Christ. Luke 11 verse 29 to 30.
174B: We say this because we have confidence in God through Christ. 5 There is nothing in us that allows us to claim that we are capable of doing this work. The capacity we have comes from God. Says Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 4 to 5.
174C: He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 6.
175: The Law was carved in letters on stone tablets, and God's glory appeared when it was given. Even though the brightness on Moses' face was fading, it was so strong that the people of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed on him. If the Law, which brings death when it is in force, came with such glory, 8 how much greater is the glory that belongs to the activity of the Spirit! 9 The system which brings condemnation was glorious; how much more glorious is the activity which brings salvation! 10 We may say that because of the far brighter glory now the glory that was so bright in the past is gone. 11 For if there was glory in that which lasted for a while, how much more glory is there in that which lasts forever! 12 Because we have this hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who had to put a veil over his face so that the people of Israel would not see the brightness fade and disappear. 14 Their minds, indeed, were closed; and to this very day their minds are covered with the same veil as they read the books of the old covenant. The veil is removed only when a person is joined to Christ. 15 Even today, whenever they read the Law of Moses, the veil still covers their minds. 16 But it can be removed, as the scripture says about Moses: “His veil was removed when he turned to the Lord.” 17 Now, “the Lord” in this passage is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom. 18 All of us, then, reflect the glory of the Lord with uncovered faces; and that same glory, coming from the Lord, who is the Spirit, transforms us into his likeness in an ever greater degree of glory. Says Good News Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 7 to 18.
175C: The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away.8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! 12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. Says New Living Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 7 to 18.
176: Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. Notice!! Paul says. 1 Corinthians 11 verse 1.
177: I am so glad that you always keep me in your thoughts, and that you are following the teachings I passed on to you. Notice!! Says Paul. 1 Corinthians 11 verse 2.
177B: Be anxious for nothing, or don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4 verse 7.
178: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Says Paul. Good New Translation Bible or King James Version Bible. Philippians 4 verse 13.
179: Paul thanked a church for support they gave him and he told them that their gift were more than enough and gave them the receipt. Says in Good New Translation Bible for the best explanation. Philippians 4 verse 14 to 23, the end.
180: If God had not shortened the days, no human would have been saved, but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose for Himself, he shortened the days. Says Christ. Mark 13 verse 20.
181: Can any mortal be pure? Can anyone born of a woman be just? Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight. How much less pure is a corrupt and sinful person with a thirst for wickedness!. Says Job 15 verse 14 to 16.
182: If my people shall humbly pray, seek my face, turn from their evil I will hear and forgive them and heal their land. Says King James Version Bible or New King James Version Bible. 2 Chronicles 7 verse 14.
183: “No!” David said. “Don’t kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the Lord’s anointed one? 10 Surely the Lord will strike Saul down someday, or he will die of old age or in battle. 11 The Lord forbid that I should kill the one he has anointed! But take his spear and that jug of water beside his head, and then let’s get out of here!” 12 So David took the spear and jug of water that were near Saul’s head. Then he and Abishai got away without anyone seeing them or even waking up, because the Lord had put Saul’s men into a deep sleep. 1 Samuel 26 verse 9 to 12.
Notice!!! This also teaches, if God is with you, he can put your enemies who come to attack you to sleep.
183B: God's Angel appeared to Zechariah as he was boning incense in the temple as a Jewish priest, and told him that his wife Elizabeth will bear a son, that he will be great in God's eye, that he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before his birth, that he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God, that he will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah, and that Zechariah will have great joy and gladness with many that will rejoice at his birth. As John The Baptist the baby was born, Zechariah prophesied that John is a mighty son sent by God from the royal line of King David. John grew up and became strong in spirit. And he lived in the wilderness until he began his public ministry to the Israel. Says Luke chapter 1.
Notice: This teaches, if John who was great before God could live in the wilderness as a poor man and Matthew 3 verse 4 says that he wore Carmel skin as cloth with locusts and wild honey as food, so one can be a great godly man and still live poor.
184: At this time a message from God came to John son of Zechariah, who was living in the wilderness. Luke 3 verse 4.
184B: When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee the coming wrath? 8 Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. 9 Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.” 10 The crowds asked, “What should we do?” 11 John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.” Say John The Baptist. Luke 3 verse 7 to 11.
185: You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled. Says in New King James version and King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Deuteronomy 22 verse 9.
185B: You must not wear clothing made of wool and linen woven together. Deuteronomy 22 verse 11.
Notice!! These above two show us what were being practiced in the Old Testament.
186: Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. Says New King James Version Bible. Proverbs 21 verse 2.
187: If you refuse to listen to the cry of the poor, your own cry for help will not be heard. Says Proverbs 21 verse 13.
188: Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need. Says New Living Translation Bible. Proverbs 21 verse 13.
188B: Human wisdom, brilliance, insight—they are of no help if the Lord is against you. Says Proverbs 21 verse 30.
188C: You can get horses ready for battle, but it is the Lord who gives victory. Says Proverbs 21 verse 31.
189: If you see a fellow believer sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 17 All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death. Says 1 John 5 verse 16 to 17.
190: Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors—for they will invite you back, and in this way you will be paid for what you did. 13 When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind; 14 and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death. Says Christ. Luke 14 verse 12 to 14.
191: Those who come to me cannot be my disciples unless they love me more than they love father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and themselves as well. 27 Those who do not carry their own cross and come after me cannot be my disciples. 28 If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job. 29 If you don't, you will not be able to finish the tower after laying the foundation; and all who see what happened will make fun of you. 30 ‘You began to build but can't finish the job!’ they will say. 31 If a king goes out with ten thousand men to fight another king who comes against him with twenty thousand men, he will sit down first and decide if he is strong enough to face that other king. 32 If he isn't, he will send messengers to meet the other king to ask for terms of peace while he is still a long way off. 33 In the same way,” concluded Jesus, “none of you can be my disciple unless you give up everything you have. 34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. 35 It is no good for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Listen, then, if you have ears!” Says Christ, in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 14 verse 26 to 35. the end.
Notice!!! In King James Version bible and some other bible versions they are written in this Luke 14 verse 26 that Christ says that if you do not hate your family for his sake that you cannot be his disciple. But Christ means there, one loving him more than his family. So, Christ does not mean that one should hate his family, as in normal hating like wishing someone bad and etcetera.
192: If a man is eager to be a church leader, he desires an excellent work. 2 A church leader must be without fault; he must have only one wife, be sober, self-controlled, and orderly; he must welcome strangers in his home; he must be able to teach; 3 he must not be a drunkard or a violent man, but gentle and peaceful; he must not love money; 4 he must be able to manage his own family well and make his children obey him with all respect. 5 For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of the church of God? 6 He must be mature in the faith, so that he will not swell up with pride and be condemned, as the Devil was. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 3 verse 1 to 6.
193: I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up here in Jerusalem as a student of Gamaliel. I received strict instruction in the Law of our ancestors and was just as dedicated to God as are all of you who are here today. 4 I persecuted to the death the people who followed this Way. I arrested men and women and threw them into prison. 5 The High Priest and the whole Council can prove that I am telling the truth. I received from them letters written to fellow Jews in Damascus, so I went there to arrest these people and bring them back in chains to Jerusalem to be punished. Paul says. Good News Translation Bible. Acts 22 verse 2 to 5.
194: And when your witness Stephen was put to death, I myself was there, approving of his murder and taking care of the cloaks of his murderers. Paul says. Acts 22 verse 20.
195: I have never refused to help the poor; never have I let widows live in despair or let orphans go hungry while I ate. All my life I have taken care of them. When I found someone in need, too poor to buy clothes, I would give him clothing made of wool that had come from my own flock of sheep. Then he would praise me with all his heart. If I have ever cheated an orphan, knowing I could win in court, then may my arms be broken; may they be torn from my shoulders. Because I fear God's punishment, I could never do such a thing. I have never trusted in riches or taken pride in my wealth. Job 31 verse 16 to 25.
196: Notice!! Job lamented these to God, which are why God found him righteous. So, what of us?
197: So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. 2 You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. 3 You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols. 4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. 5 But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead. 6 That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, so although they were destined to die like all people, they now live forever with God in the Spirit. 7 The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. 8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. 10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Peter 4 verse 1 to 10.
198: My dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful test you are suffering, as though something unusual were happening to you. 13 Rather be glad that you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may be full of joy when his glory is revealed. 14 Happy are you if you are insulted because you are Christ's followers; this means that the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is resting on you. 15 If you suffer, it must not be because you are a murderer or a thief or a criminal or a meddler in other people's affairs. 16 However, if you suffer because you are a Christian, don't be ashamed of it, but thank God that you bear Christ's name. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Peter 4 verse 12 to 16.
198B: For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? New Living Translation Bible. 1 Peter 4 verse 17.
199: Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. Says Hebrews 1 verse 1 to 2.
Notice!! Amplified bible Says it that God has spoken to us through Jesus.
201: So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 John 1 verse 6.
202: If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. Says 1 John 1 verse 6 to 10.
203: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. John 10 verse 11 to 16.
204: I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me. Says Christ. John 10 verse 14.
204B: The Father and I are one. Says Christ. John 10 verse 30.
204C: Jesus answered, “It is written in your own Law that God said, ‘You are gods.’ 35 We know that what the scripture says is true forever; and God called those people gods, the people to whom his message was given. Says Christ. John 10 verse 34 to 35.
205: Jesus made himself poor for your sake, in order to make you rich by means of his poverty, though he was rich. 2 Corinthians 8 verse 9.
205B: Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you do not have. 13 Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. 2 Corinthians 8 verse 12 to 13.
206: As you have plenty help those who are in need. Then, when you are in need and they have plenty they will help you. In this way both are treated equally. Says Good News Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 8 verse 14.
206B: And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” 10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. 13 As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 9 verse 8 to 12.
206C: And because of the proof which this service of yours brings, many will give glory to God for your loyalty to the gospel of Christ, which you profess, and for your generosity in sharing with them and everyone else. Says in Good News Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 9 verse 9 to 13.
207: About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance.” His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness? Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have? Seven loaves,” they replied. So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd. A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus also blessed these and told the disciples to distribute them. They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food. There were about four thousand men in the crowd that day, and Jesus sent them home after they had eaten. Says Christ. Mark 8 verse 1 to 9.
208: Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. Christ said. Luke 23 verse 34.
208B: The scenario of Christ and the two criminals is found in, Luke 23 from verse 39 down.
209:19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores. Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and he went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side. The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’ But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there. Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment. But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote. The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God. But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead. Said by Jesus. Luke 16 verse 19 to 31, the end.
209B: And he said unto them, you are the ones who justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Said Jesus, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 16 verse 15.
210: People who came to kill the adulterous woman told Christ that they caught her in adultery and that the law of Moses says that such woman should be killed. But Christ told them there that who among them that had not sinned before, let him be the first to stone the woman to death. As they heard this, they all left the woman. Christ asked the woman, where are your accusers? She said they were gone, and Christ told her that him too did not condemn her, that she should go and sin no more. Says Christ. John 8 verse 4 to 11.
210B: Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. John 8 verse 34.
210C: So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. John 8 verse 36.
211: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Christ told who were judging him for healing on the Sabbath as they to circumcise that day too. Says Christ. John 7 verse 24.
212: I am surprised at you! In no time at all you are deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ, and are accepting another gospel. 7 Actually, there is no “other gospel,” but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell. Says Paul. Galatians 1 verse 6 to 8.
213: We have said it before, and now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different from the one you accepted, may he be condemned to hell! 10 Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God's approval! Am I trying to be popular with people? If I were still trying to do so, I would not be a servant of Christ. Says Paul. Galatians 1 verse 9 to 10.
213B: Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. 12 I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ. 13 You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it. 14 I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors. 21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And still the churches in Christ that are in Judea didn’t know me personally. 23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me. Says Paul, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 1 verse 11 to 24, the end.
214: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Says King James Version Bible. Hebrews 12 verse 2.
215: Have you forgotten the encouraging words which God speaks to you as his children “My child, pay attention when the Lord corrects you, and do not be discouraged when he rebukes you. Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves, and punishes everyone he accepts as a child.” Endure what you suffer as being a father's punishment; your suffering shows that God is treating you as his children. Was there ever a child who was not punished by his father? If you are not punished, as all his children are, it means you are not real children, but bastards. In the case of our human fathers, they punished us and we respected them. How much more, then, should we submit to our spiritual Father and live! Our human fathers punished us for a short time, as it seemed right to them; but God does it for our own good, so that we may share his holiness. When we are punished, it seems to us at the time something to make us sad, not glad. Later, however, those who have been disciplined by such punishment reap the peaceful reward of a righteous life. Says Hebrews 12 verse 5 to 11.
216: Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it. Says Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 12 verse 14.
217: Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Says King James Version Bible. Hebrews 12 verse 14.
218: You have come to Jesus, who arranged the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that promises much better things than does the blood of Abel. Says Hebrews 12 verse 24.
219: I have given you authority, so that you can walk on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the Enemy, and nothing will hurt you. Says Jesus. Luke 10 verse 19.
220: One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!” The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor? Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here. Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy. Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same. Says Christ. Luke 10 verse 25 to 37.
221: In Luke 10 verse 32, Contemporary English Version calls is a Temple Helper. New Living Translation Bible Calls is a temple assistant. While others call it Levite.
221B: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Says Romans 3 verse 23.
221C: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous, not even one. Says Romans 3 verse 10.
Notice!!! This saying (No one is righteous) does not mean that we can continue in sin, because Christ says in Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23 that even his followers who do not live righteously shall never make heaven. So it mainly means that we had once sinned before.
222: Let God must be true, even though all human beings are liars. As the scripture. Says Romans 3 verse 4.
222B: Are we Jews better than the gentiles? no, Jews and Gentiles are all under the power of sin. Says Romans 3 verse 9.
222C: Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law. Says Romans 3 verse 31.
223: Liars, cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, immoral, magicians, idols worshipers shall have their place in lake burning with fire, which is the second death. Says Revelation 21 verse 8.
224: Life of every living thing is in the blood, do not eat any meat with blood still in it, one who does so will no longer be God's own. Good News Translation Bible. Leviticus 17 verse 14.
225: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 3.
226: Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 5.
227: Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;
God will satisfy them fully. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 6.
228: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 7.
229: Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 8.
229B: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 9.
230: Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 10.
231: Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 11 to 12.
232: You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 13.
233: You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. 16 In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 14 to 16.
233B: “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. 18 Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with—not until the end of all things.19 So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5:17 to 19.
Notice!!! Christ’s saying here that he never abolished the law does not mean that we should continue following the particular old testament laws that allowed us to personally be condemning others, those are why he said in the same Matthew 5 verse 38 to 48 that you have heard that others say an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a toot, but he says here that when someone does you wrong do not pay him with evil but love him and pray for him. So which Christ was saying against Deuteronomy 19:21 revenging law we were permitted to do revenge, both revenging for an eye for and eye and a tooth for a toot, and etc.
234: You have heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial.’ 22 But now I tell you: if you are angry with your brother you will be brought to trial, if you call your brother ‘You good-for-nothing!’ you will be brought before the Council, and if you call your brother a worthless fool you will be in danger of going to the fire of hell. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 5 verse 21 to 22.
234B: But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 22.
235: So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 23 to 24.
236: If someone brings a lawsuit against you and takes you to court, settle the dispute while there is time, before you get to court. Once you are there, you will be turned over to the judge, who will hand you over to the police, and you will be put in jail. 26 There you will stay, I tell you, until you pay the last penny of your fine. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 5 verse 25 to 26.
237: You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery. 28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 27 to 28.
238: So if your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose a part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell. 30 If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than to have your whole body go off to hell. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 29 to 30.
239: It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ 32 But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 31 to 32.
240: Do not swear. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 33 to 36.
241: Just say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Anything else you say comes from the Evil One. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 37.
242: You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. Says Christ, in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 38 to 39.
243: And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 40 to 42.
244: You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 You must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 43 to 48.
245: Christ answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 6 On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was paralyzed. Luke 6 verse 3 to 6.
245B: Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 20 to 23.
245C: But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. 25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry.

New International Version Bible. Luke 6 verse 24 to 26.
245D: But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone hits you on one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. 30 Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31 Do for others just what you want them to do for you. 32 “If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that! 34 And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount! 35 No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful just as your Father is merciful. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Luke 6 verse 27 to 36.

Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 41 to 42.
251: 43, “A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.44 A tree is identified by its fruit.

What you say flows from what is in your heart. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 43 45.
252: 46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation.

Such things must happen, but they do not mean that the end has come. 7 Countries will fight each other; kingdoms will attack one another. There will be famines and earthquakes everywhere. 8 All these things are like the first pains of childbirth. Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 3 to 8.
256: Then you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and be put to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. 10 Many will give up their faith at that time; they will betray one another and hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will appear and fool many people. 12 Such will be the spread of evil that many people's love will grow cold. 13 But whoever holds out to the end will be saved. 14 And this Good News about the Kingdom will be preached through all the world for a witness to all people; and then the end will come. (Notice!! Jesus says in verse 4 to 13). Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 9 to 14.

Matthew 22 verse 24 to 32.
264: A teacher of religious law asked Christ, Teacher,” he asked, “which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and the most important commandment. 39 The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ 40 The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments.

Says Romans 13 verse 8 to 10.
269: Jesus looked around and saw rich people dropping their gifts in the Temple treasury, 2 and he also saw a very poor widow dropping in two little copper coins. 3 He said, “I tell you that this poor widow put in more than all the others. 4 For the others offered their gifts from what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, gave all she had to live on. Says Luke 21 verse 1 to 4.
269B: Some of the disciples were talking about the Temple, how beautiful it looked with its fine stones and the gifts offered to God. Jesus said, 6 “All this you see, the time will come when not a single stone here will be left in its place; everyone will be thrown down. Says Luke 21 verse 4 to 6.

They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people. 48 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” 49 So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss. 50 Then the men grabbed Jesus and arrested him. Matthew 26 verse 45 to 50.
270G: But one of those who were with Jesus drew his sword and struck at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear. 52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “All who take the sword will die by the sword. 53 Don't you know that I could call on my Father for help, and at once he would send me more than twelve armies of angels? 54 But in that case, how could the Scriptures come true which say that this is what must happen? Christ says. Matthew 26 verse 51 to 54.
270H: Then Christ said to the crowd, “Am I a robber that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? Why did you not arrest me in the Temple? I was there in the temple teaching every day.

270J: Then all the Christ’s disciples left him and ran away. 57 Then the people who had arrested Jesus led him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of religious law and the elders had gathered. 58 Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end. 59 Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus, so they could put him to death. 60 But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward 61 who declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’” 62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?” 63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy. 66 What is your verdict?” “Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!” 67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?” Says New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 26 verse 56 to 68.
270K A little later some of the other bystanders came over to Peter and said, “You must be one of them; we can tell by your Galilean accent. 74 Then Peter said, "I swear that I am telling the truth! May God punish me if I am not! I do not know that man!" Just then a rooster crowed. Says Good New Translation Bible for the best explanation. 75 Suddenly, Christ’s words flashed through Peter’s mind, as he told him that before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he went away, weeping bitterly. Matthew 26 verse 73 to 75.
Notice!! This shows that if Pater our first pastor could lie and deny Christ even the best pastor you trust could do the same too if he is not at watch. So trust only Christ Jesus alone 100%.

They rebuked him and told him to repent to avoid hell fire, for thinking that he can buy holy spirit with money. Says Acts 8 verse 9 to 24.
272B I want you to stay in Ephesus, just as I urged you when I was on my way to Macedonia. Some people there are teaching false doctrines, and you must order them to stop. 4 Tell them to give up those legends and those long lists of ancestors, which only produce arguments; they do not serve God's plan, which is known by faith. 5 The purpose of this order is to arouse the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a genuine faith. 6 Some people have turned away from these and have lost their way in foolish discussions. 7 They want to be teachers of God's law, but they do not understand their own words or the matters about which they speak with so much confidence. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 1 verse 3 to 7.
273: I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength for my work. I thank him for considering me worthy and appointing me to serve him, 13 even though in the past I spoke evil of him and persecuted and insulted him. But God was merciful to me because I did not yet have faith and so did not know what I was doing. 14 And our Lord poured out his abundant grace on me and gave me the faith and love which are ours in union with Christ Jesus. 15 This is a true saying, to be completely accepted and believed: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am the worst of them, 16 but God was merciful to me in order that Christ Jesus might show his full patience in dealing with me the worst of sinners as an example for all those who would later believe in him and receive eternal life.

No! None of the good he did will be remembered. He will die because of his unfaithfulness and his sins. Says Ezekiel 18 verse 21 to 24.

285: Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice. Says James 1 verse 22.

After I come I shall give letters of introduction to those you have approved, and send them to take your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems worthwhile for me to go, then they can go along with me.

The people of the earth will be happy because of the death of these two. They will celebrate and send presents to each other, because those two prophets brought much suffering upon the whole human race. After three and a half days a life-giving breath came from God and entered them, and they stood up; and all who saw them were terrified. Then the two prophets heard a loud voice say to them from heaven, “Come up here!” As their enemies watched, they went up into heaven in a cloud.

318: But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the Lord, your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Samuel 15 verse 22.
318B: Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king. 5 Samuel saw Eliab and he taught that he was God's chosen one. But God told him to pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. I do not judge as people judge says God. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart. Jesse called his others sons, but God rejected them all. 11 Samuel asked, are only these your sons? Jesse answered, “There is still the youngest, but he is out taking care of the sheep, and Samuel said, call him. As David came God told Samuel that he is the one. 13 So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David from that day on. Says 1 Samuel 16 verse 1 to 12.
Notice!!! So, it is not by mere appearance that you can know a pure man of God
318C: Now the Spirit of God Almighty had left Saul, and the Lord sent a tormenting spirit that filled him with depression and fear. (Notice!! Reading down explains that they brought David to be playing harp to heal Saul’s bad spirit) Says 1 Samuel 16 verse 14.
Notice!!! This above shows that the spirit of God may have left a man like in Saul’s case, and the man could still be a leader for years, as the above also says that David was very youngest among Jesses’ sons, and 2 Samuel 5 verse 4 says that David was 30 years when he became king. So, which means Saul was the leader of Israel maybe for years irrespective of the spirit of God having left him, before David became the Leader of Israel. So be careful of a pastor that you follow to make sure that the spirit of God has not left him.
319: Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So, because you have rejected the command of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.” Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Samuel 15 verse 23.
320: Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do. Says Acts 3 verse 19.
321: If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 1 to 3.
322: If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 3.
323: Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; 5 love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; 6 love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. 7 Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 4 to 7.
324: does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil. Says New King James Version Bible or King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 5.
325: Love never fails, it never fades nor ends. But as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for the gift of special knowledge, it will pass away. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 8.
326: Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 8.
327: Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 8.
327B: Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 9.
327C: Three things will last forever, faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 13.
327D: Those of you who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut yourselves off from Christ. You are outside God's grace. Says Galatians 5 verse 4.
Notice!!! This mainly means that we shall not use old testament law to condemn others anymore as permitted in the old testament law Deuteronomy 19 verse 21 and etc. So, otherwise we cut ourselves away from Christ and cut ourselves from grace. So, it does not mean that we shall continue sinning, because Christ says in Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23 that even his followers who do not live righteously shall never make heaven.
328: So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. Galatians 5 verse 1.
328B: For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Says New Living Translation Bible for best understanding. Galatians 5 verse 13.
329: All the whole Law is summed up in one commandment: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” 15 But if you act like wild animals, hurting and harming each other, then watch out, or you will completely destroy one another. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 5 verse 14 to 15.
330: Let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature. 17 For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do. Says Galatians 5 verse 16 to 17.
331: But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. 19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 5 verse 18 to 26 the end.
331B: Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best understanding. Galatians 5 verse 24.
332: He was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11 For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’ 12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Says Acts 4 verse 10 to 12.
333: The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus. Says Good News Translation Bible. Acts 4 verse 13.
334: Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. 9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 31 verse 8 to 9.
334B: Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Protect the rights of all who are helpless. 9 Speak for them and be a righteous judge. Protect the rights of the poor and needy. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 31 verse 8 to 9.
Notice!! King James Version Bible also says be a righteous judge in this Proverbs 31 verse 8 to 9.
335: For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Says Ephesians 2 verse 6.
336: Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, and to be ready to do good in every way. 2 Tell them not to speak evil of anyone, but to be peaceful and friendly, and always to show a gentle attitude toward everyone. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and wrong. We were slaves to passions and pleasures of all kinds. We spent our lives in malice and envy; others hated us and we hated them. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior was revealed, 5 he saved us. It was not because of any good deeds that we ourselves had done, but because of his own mercy that he saved us, through the Holy Spirit, who gives us new birth and new life by washing us. 6 God poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that by his grace we might be put right with God and come into possession of the eternal life we hope for. Says Good News Translation Bible. Titus 3 verse 1 to 7.
337: But avoid stupid arguments, long lists of ancestors, quarrels, and fights about the Law. They are useless and worthless. 10 Give at least two warnings to those who cause divisions, and then have nothing more to do with them. Titus 3 verse 9 to 10.
337B: Give at least two warnings to those who cause divisions, and then have nothing more to do with them. Titus 3 verse 10.
338: And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. 8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. Says Colossians 2 verse 6 to 8.
338B: He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. Says Colossians 2 verse 6-14.
339: You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,21 “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? 22 Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. Says Colossians 2 verse 20-22.
340: The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” Says New Living Translation Bible. John 4 verse 9.
340B: So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?” 21 Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.22 You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. 23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. Says New Living Translation Bible. John 4 verse 20 to 24.
341: The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. Says Psalm 25 verse 14.
343: Shimei was insulting and cursing David that God has given Absalom his Kingdom, which he took from Saul and killed some of his family. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 2 Samuel 16 verse 5 to 14.
344: Shimei fell down before David and begged him forgive for the insult he gave him before, and David swore unto him that he will not die. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 2 Samuel 19 verse 16 to 23.
344B: David asked God why famine in Israel. God told him it was because Saul killed The Gibeonites. David asked The Gibeonites what they wanted, but they requested for Saul's seven sons to give them to kill. Saul's five grandsons from his daughter Merab, the wife of Adriel son of Barzillai from Meholah were among seven David chose and gave them. The scriptures says there that they killed them before God. Says 2 Samuel 21 verse 1 to 9.
345: Shimei cursed me bitterly the other day. He met me and begged me and I promised him in God's name that I would not kill him. You are a wise man, and you will know how to arrange a bloody death for him. In verse 10 exactly after these speech David died after telling Solomon these. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 King 2 verse 1 to 10.
346: Solomon killed his half Senior brother Adonijah because he begged Solomon's mother Bathsheba who pleaded on his behalf that Solomon gives him Abishag who was a young girl brought to be keeping David warn while alive. (Notice!!! Adonijah wanted the throne before). (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 1 King 2 verse 13 to 25.
347: Solomon told Shimei to build house in Jerusalem and never leave there, they both agreed. three years later Shimei's servants ran away and he went to look for them and brought them back. Solomon told him that he warned him not to leave Jerusalem which they agreed, and he reminded him what he did to his father. He killed Shimei. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 1 King 2 verse 36 to 46, The end.
347B: Adonijah Absalom's elder brother rebelled against King David and took Joab King David’s army commander in chief, and Abiathar the priest into his confidence and they agreed to help him become king. He invited all his brothers—the other sons of King David—and all the royal officials of Judah. They were feasting and drinking with him and shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the king’s bodyguard or his brother Solomon. Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and others refused to support Adonijah. 34 When King David heard about these he quickly ordered Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to anoint Solomon king over Israel. Says 1 Kings chapter 1.
348: Bathsheba told David about her pregnancy. David called Uriah the Hittite from war and gave him a letter to give Joab, containing that he puts him in a dangerous war zone and pull back for him to be killed. Joab did as instructed, and Uriah was killed. David married her and God was upset. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 2 Samuel 11 verse 1 to 27, The end.
349: Saul sent his messengers to David to deceive him into marrying his daughter. David was thinking that it is not possible due to his being a poor boy. But Saul was convincing David and he said, give me one hundred foreskins of dead Philistines as a revenge on my enemies, as a payment for the bride to marry my daughter. Saul told David this with the intention that Philistines will kill him while doing that, so that he would not be the one to do it again as he tried to kill him before and failed. But David went and killed two hundred Philistines and took their foreskins to Saul and counted them all out one by one to him. So, Saul gave him his daughter and became more afraid of him and his enemy from that day throughout. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 1 Samuel 18 verse 6 to 30, The end.
350: I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 4 to 5.
350B: These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 19.
350C: 11 How terrible for them! They have followed the way that Cain took. For the sake of money they have given themselves over to the error that Balaam committed. 12 With their shameless carousing they are like dirty spots in your fellowship meals. They take care only of themselves. They are like trees that bear no fruit. The Lord will come with many thousands of his holy angels 15 to bring judgment on all. 18 When the last days come, people will appear who will make fun of you, people who follow their own godless desires.” 19 These are the people who cause divisions, who are controlled by their natural desires, who do not have the Spirit. Says in Good News Translation Bible or New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 11 to 19.
351: Show mercy toward those who have doubts; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; and to others show mercy mixed with fear, but hate their very clothes, stained by their sinful lusts. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 22 to 23.
351B: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. Says 2 Timothy 4 verse 1 to 2.
352: The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear. Says 2 Timothy 4 verse 3.
352B: They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Timothy 4 verse 4.
352C: Timothy, please come as soon as you can. 10 Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this world and has gone to Thessalonica. Says, 2 Timothy 4 verse 9 to 10.
353: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 8 verse 1.
353B: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Says King James Version Bible. Romans 8 verse 2.
354: The Holy Spirit will give you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you free from sin and death. 3 The Law of Moses cannot do this, because our selfish desires make the Law weak. But God set you free when he sent his own Son to be like us sinners and to be a sacrifice for our sin. God used Christ’s body to condemn sin. 4 He did this, so that we would do what the Law commands by obeying the Spirit instead of our own desires. 5 People who are ruled by their desires think only of themselves. Everyone who is ruled by the Holy Spirit thinks about spiritual things. 6 If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace. 7 Our desires fight against God, because they do not and cannot obey God’s laws. 8 If we follow our desires, we cannot please God. 9 You are no longer ruled by your desires, but by God’s Spirit, who lives in you. People who don’t have the Spirit of Christ in them don’t belong to him. 10 But Christ lives in you. So you are alive because God has accepted you, even though your bodies must die because of your sins. 11 Yet God raised Jesus to life! God’s Spirit now lives in you, and he will raise you to life by his Spirit. 12 My dear friends, we must not live to satisfy our desires. 13 If you do, you will die. But you will live, if by the help of God’s Spirit you say “No” to your desires. 14 Only those people who are led by God’s Spirit are his children. Says Contemporary English Version Bible. Romans 8 verse 2 to 14.
354B: Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death? 36 As the scripture says, “For your sake we are in danger of death at all times; we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!38 For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, 39 neither the world above nor the world below, there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8 verse 35 to 39, The end.
355: 10 Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s slave. 11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?” John 18 verse 10 to 11.
355B: 33 Pilate called for Jesus to be brought to him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked Christ. 35 Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?” 36 Christ answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world. Jesus answered. Says in New Living Translation Bible. John 18 verse 33 to 36.
356: At that time the disciples came to Jesus, asking, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” 2 So Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them, 3 and said, “I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. 4 The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child. (Notice!! Jesus said from verse 3). Says Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 18 verse 1 to 4.
356B: But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 18 verse 6.
357: Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree, that is, are of one mind, in harmony, about anything that they ask within the will of God, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Says in some Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 18 verse 19.
358: For where two or three are gathered in My name meeting together as My followers, I am there among them. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 18 verse 20.
359: Parable of the unfaithful wicked servant, a king and his unforgiven servant who refused to forgive his other servant as his master forgave him too. The master said that he would reverse that forgiveness and throw him to the prison. Christ says that it is how it would be for anyone of us who refuses to forgive other. Says Christ. Matthew 18 verse 23 to 35, The end.
359B: One day some parents brought their little children to Christ so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they tried to stop the parents, saying that they were bothering Christ. 16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who does not receive the Kingdom of God Almighty like a child will never enter the Kingdom of God Almighty. Says Christ, in Luke 18 verse 16 to 17.
359C Christ said to his disciples, “Listen, we’re going up to Jerusalem, where all the predictions of the prophets concerning the Son of Man will come true. 32 He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon. 33 They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.” Says Christ, in Luke 18 verse 31 to 33.
359C: Jesus went on into Jericho and was passing through. 2 There was a chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus, who was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was a little man and could not see Jesus because of the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, who was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today.” 6 Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed him with great joy. 7 All the people who saw it started to complain saying that Christ has gone to visit the home of a notorious sinner to eat with him!” 8 Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.” 9 Christ said to him, “Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a descendant of Abraham. 10 And Christ continues to say here, The Son of Man came to seek and to save people who are lost.” Says in New Living Translation Bible and Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 19 verse 1 to 10.
359D: And as for these enemies of mine who didn’t want me to be their king bring them in and execute them right here in front of me.’” Says Christ, in Luke 19 verse 27. Notice!!! If you use New Living Translation Bible for better understanding to continue reading this Luke 19 from verse 28 it says after Christ was telling the story. So meaning Christ was just telling a story here, or a parable as some bible translations also call it, which is why if you start reading this Luke chapter 19 from verse 11 it clearly says that Christ was telling people a parable, which the parable continued till this Luke chapter 19 verse 27. So Christ was not commanding his followers to kill any unbelievers or any human in this Luke chapter 19 verse 27, and Christ never commanded any human on earth to revenge anywhere at all. So if you read this Luke chapter 19 from verse 11 till 28 in full context to understand it very well Christ was only telling people a parable of a particular king who was judging his unfaithful servants to death, which is like a parable of what will happen when God Almighty will judge the world after this current world, just like the parable in Matthew chapter 25 which Christ says there that at the end of this world when he comes again that the unfaithful shall land in Hell fire. So many people who do not understand this Luke chapter 19 take just one line which is verse 27 without reading the whole Luke chapter 19 in full to understand it very well, so they say that Christ was radical, that he says that his disciples should kill unbelievers. But Christ never commanded anywhere on earth for us to revenge on any human, but only God Almighty shall judge and allow sinners die to hell fire after this life on earth. Those are why the same Christ says in John 18 verse 36 that if his kingdom is of this world that his followers would have fought to defend him from who came to kill him. Luke 19 verse 27.
359E: After that, he taught daily in the Temple, but the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders of the people began planning how to kill him. 48 But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 19 verse 47 to 48.
360: Our dedication to Christ makes us look like fools, but you claim to be so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are so powerful! You are honored, but we are ridiculed. 11 To this very moment we go hungry and thirsty; we are clothed in rags; we are beaten; we wander from place to place; 12 we wear ourselves out with hard work. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; 13 when we are insulted, we answer back with kind words. We are no more than this world's garbage; we are the scum of the earth to this very moment! Says Apostles, Good in News Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 4 verse 10 to 13.
361: Every plant which my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up,” answered Jesus. 14 “Don't worry about them! They are blind leaders of the blind; and when one blind man leads another, both fall into a ditch.” Says Christ about Pharisees who disagree with him. Matthew 15 verse 13 to 14.
361B: But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 15 verse 18 to 21.
362: Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death. 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.” “What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.” 5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself. 6 The leading priests picked up the coins. “It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,” they said, “since it was payment for murder. 18 Governo Pilate knew very well that the religious leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy. 20 Meanwhile, the leading priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death. Matthew 27 verse 1 to 20.
362: Christ again gave a loud cry and breathed his last and died. Says in Good News Translation Bible and Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 27 verse 50.
362B: Then the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split apart, 52 the graves broke open, and many of God's people who had died were raised to life. Says Matthew 27 verse 51 to 52.
363: My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere. 2 This is how you will be able to know whether it is God's Spirit: anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ came as a human being has the Spirit who comes from God. (Notice!! Even Satan believes. So, it is by practicing the law, not by saying) Says 1 John 4 verse 1 to 2.
364: But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Says in Good News Translation Bible and King James Version Bible. 1 John 4 verse 4.
365: Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 John 4 verse 7 to 8.
366: If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won’t be worried about the day of judgment. A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 4 verse 17 to 18.
367: We love because God loved us first. 20 But if we say we love God and don’t love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don’t love the people we can see? 21 The commandment that God has given us is: “Love God and love each other. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 4 verse 19 to 21.
368: We love because God first loved us. 20 If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen. 21 The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 4 verse 19 to 21.
369: The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord; the earth and all who live on it are his. Says Psalm 24 verse 1.
370: I chose you before I gave you life, and before you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations. Says Jeremiah 1 verse 5.
371: The righteous will possess the land and live in it forever. Says Psalm 37 verse 29.
372: To the church that meets in your, house. Philemon 1 verse 2.
372B: This letter is from Paul, a prisoner for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy. I am writing to Philemon, our beloved co-worker, 2 and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your house. Philemon 1 verse 1 to 2.
373: My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. Says New Living Translation Bible. Psalm 119 verse 71.
373B: My punishment was good for me, because it made me learn your commands. Says Good News Translation Bible. Psalm 119 verse 71.
374: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. Says King James Version Bible. Job 1 verse 6.
374B. One day when Job's children were having a feast at the home of their oldest brother, 14 a messenger came running to Job. “We were plowing the fields with the oxen,” he said, “and the donkeys were in a nearby pasture. 15 Suddenly the Sabeansm attacked and stole them all. They killed every one of your servants except me. I am the only one who escaped to tell you. 16 Before he had finished speaking, another servant came and said, “Lightning struck the sheep and the shepherds and killed them all. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 17 Before he had finished speaking, another servant came and said, “Three bands of Chaldean raiders attacked us, took away the camels, and killed all your servants except me. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 18 Before he had finished speaking, another servant came and said, “Your children were having a feast at the home of your oldest son, 19 when a storm swept in from the desert. It blew the house down and killed them all. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 20 Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief. He shaved his head and threw himself face downward on the ground. 21 He said, “I was born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The Lord gave, and now he has taken away. May his name be praised!” 22 In spite of everything that had happened, Job did not sin by blaming God. Job 1 verse 13 to 22. The end.
374C: Notice: Above you red proves that Satan did not need human beings to get Job’s children. So, in verse 7 to 12 God gave Satan permission to tempt Job but do not touch his soul.
374D: O!!! foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? Says Paul Galatians 3 verse 1.
Notice!!! Paul calling Galatians fool here does not mean that we too should be calling others fool as a doctrine, because remember that Paul says in Philippians 3:12 that he does not claim to be perfect. So, Christ our perfect example warned us in Matthew 5:22 that calling others fool leads to hell fire.
375: But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” 11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.” 13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 3 verse 10 to 14.
375B: But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” Says Galatians 3 verse 10.
376: Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people. 20, Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham. 21, Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it. 22, But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ. 23, Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed. 24, Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. 26, For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27, And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 3 verse 19 to 27.
377. There is no longer Jew or Gentile slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 3 verse 28.
378: And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 3 verse 29.
379: There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so. And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. Says Christ. John 14 verse 2 to 3.
380: Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me. Says Christ. John 14 verse 6.
381: I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do, yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father. Says Christ. John 14 verse 12.
382: I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the Son. 14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it. Says Christ. John 14 verse 13 to 14.
383: If you love me, you will obey my commandments. Says Christ. John 14 verse 15.
384: Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. John 14 verse 21.
385: Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them. 24 Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me. Says Christ. John 14 verse 23 to 24.
385: The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you. Says Christ. John 14 verse 26.
386: Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I. Says Christ. John 14 verse 27 to 28.
387: The ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me. Says Christ. John 14 verse 30.
390: King Ahab, the 7th king of Israel asked Naboth to give him his vineyard so that he can exchange it for another land, or pay him the money for it, that it is nearer to his palace, that he wants to be using it for his vegetable garden. But Naboth refused. Ahab went home angry and refused to eat, because Naboth refused. Jezebel his wife asked him, what made you angry? He told her. She told Ahab to eat, that she will get the land from Naboth. She planned with two men to give false witnesses and accused Naboth of cursing God and cursing King, and they stoned him to death. Jezebel told Ahab to take the land, that Naboth is now dead. Ahab went to the land to claim it. God told Elijah to go and message King Ahab of Israel, to tell him that at the very place he killed Naboth and dogs licked up Naboth's blood is where dogs will lick up his blood also. Verse 21 to 22 says, that God said that he will bring disaster on Naboth and consume him and his family, as him God destroyed the family of Jeroboam. 23 “And regarding Jezebel, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel’s body at the plot of land in Jezreel. 25 No one else did evil like King Ahab, due to his wife encouraged him to do evil also. 26 His worst sin was worshipping idols. Says 1 Kings 21.
390B: Ahab the King of Israel told his officials that the town of Ramoth-gilead belongs to them for them to go and recapture it. 5 Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah who visited king Ahab added, “But first let us find out what the Lord says.” 6 So king Ahab summoned the prophets, about 400 of them, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I hold back?” They all replied, “Yes, go right ahead! The Lord will give the king victory.” 7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not also a prophet of the Lord here? We should ask him the same question.” 8 The king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, “There is one more man who could consult the Lord for us, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me! His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.” Jehoshaphat advised that they should call him, which Ahab did call him. 13 Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him, “Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with them and promise success.” 14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as the Lord lives, I will say only what the Lord tells me to say.” 15 When Micaiah arrived before the king, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we hold back?” Micaiah replied sarcastically, “Yes, go up and be victorious, for the Lord will give the king victory!” 16 But the king replied sharply, “How many times must I demand that you speak only the truth to me when you speak for the Lord?” 17 Then Micaiah told him, “In a vision I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘Their master has been killed. Send them home in peace.’ 18 “Didn’t I tell you?” the king of Israel exclaimed to Jehoshaphat. “He never prophesies anything but trouble for me.” 19 Then Micaiah continued, “Listen to what the Lord says! I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him, on his right and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, ‘Who can entice Ahab to go into battle against Ramoth-gilead so he can be killed?’ 21 and finally a spirit approached the Lord and said, ‘I can do it!’ 22 “‘How will you do this?’ the Lord asked. “And the spirit replied, ‘I will go out and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to speak lies.’ “‘You will succeed,’ said the Lord. ‘Go ahead and do it.’ 23 “So you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all your prophets. For the Lord has pronounced your doom.” 24 Then Zedekiah walked up to Micaiah and slapped him across the face, and asked him, “Since when did the Spirit of the Lord leave me to speak to you?” he demanded. 25 Micaiah replied to him that they would find out soon. 26 King Ahab ordered that Micaiah would be arrested for prophesying the truth that he does not like. He ordered that they feed him only bread and water until he returns safely from the battle, as he claimed! King Ahab went to the war, he died in the war by the arrow that was randomly shot at Israeli troops. 37 So the king died, and his body was taken to Samaria and buried there. 38 Then his chariot was washed beside the pool of Samaria, and dogs came and licked his blood, just as the Lord had promised. Says, 1 Kings 22 verse 1 to 38.
390C: From verse 30: Jehu commanded that Jezebel should be thrown down out of the window, and her blood spattered against the wall and on the horses. And Jehu trampled her body under his horses’ hooves. Jehu commanded and said, go and bury this cursed woman. But when they went out to bury her, they found only her skull, her feet, and her hands. When they returned and told Jehu, he stated, “This fulfills the message from the Lord, which he spoke through his servant Elijah. ‘At the plot of land in Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel’s body. Her remains will be scattered like dung on the plot of land in Jezreel, so that no one will be able to recognize her.’” Says, 2 Kings chapter 9.
391: Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 1 to 2.
391B: Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes, these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 3 to 4.
391C: You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Says in New Living Translation Bible or Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 5.
391D: Try to learn what pleases the Lord. Says Ephesians 5 verse 10.
392: Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 11.
393: If your leaders say to you, Look, God's kingdom is in the sky, then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you It is in the sea, then the fish will precede you. Rather, God's kingdom is inside you and it is outside you. Says Christ. Gospel of Thomas 3.
394: Split a piece of wood and I am there. Lift up the stone and you will find Me there. Says Christ. Gospel of Thomas 77.
394B: And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. 6 Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is. 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. 1 John 3 verse 5 to 9.
394: Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God's children. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 10.
395: We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 14.
396: Those who hate others are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life in them. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 15.
397: This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We too, then, ought to give our lives for others. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 16.
398: We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. That’s why we must give our lives for each other. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 16.
399: If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God? 18 My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action. 19 This, then, is how we will know that we belong to the truth; this is how we will be confident in God's presence. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 17 to 19.
400: Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again. Says Christ. John 3 verse 3.
401: 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. Says Christ. John 3 verse 16.
402: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. John 3 verse 17.
403: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. John 3 verse 18.
403B: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, because their actions were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. Says Christ. John 3 verse 19 to 21.
404: John The Baptist answered, “No one can have anything unless God gives it. Says John 3 verse 27.
404B: He must become greater; I must become less. 32 The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. Notice!!! If you read the whole of this chapter 3 you will know that John The Baptist was talking about Christ here. But precisely, John 3 verse 30 to 36, the end.
404B: You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. 2 And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. 3 Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? 4 Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? Says, Romans 2 verse 1 to 4.
405: when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render to every man according to his deeds. Says in King James Version Bible. Romans 2 verse 6.

406: For it is not by hearing the Law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the Law commands. Says Romans 2 verse 13.
406B: Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. 15 They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation, Romans 2 verse 14 to 15.
406C: You are so proud of knowing the law, but you dishonor God by breaking it. 24 No wonder the Scriptures say, “The Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you. Romans 2 verse 23 to 24.
407: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 6 verse 1.
407B: Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. Romans 6 verse 14.
Notice!!! (You are no longer under the law does not mean that we should continue sinning) But it mostly means that humans can no longer use Old Testament law to personally condemn their fellow humans, but only God personally judges and condemns who does not obey him forever.
408: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Says King James Version Bible, Romans 6 verse 23.
409: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Says Christ. Matthew 16 verse 18.
410: Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s point of view. (Notice!!! Some bible translations say that Peter’s thoughts didn’t come from God, but from human nature. This was as Peter was advising Christ that he wouldn't die, which he knew he would deny him) Says Christ. New Living Translation Bible, Matthew 16 verse 23.
411: Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me, as My disciple, he must deny himself, set aside selfish interests, and take up his cross, expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come, and follow Me, believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me. 25 For whoever wishes to save his life in this world will eventually lose it through death, but whoever loses his life in this world for My sake will find it, that is, life with Me for all eternity. Says Christ, in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 16 verse 24 to 25.
412: For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world wealth, fame, success, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Says Christ, in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 16 verse 26.
413: God Almighty says, ‘When I bring an army against a country, the people of that land choose one of their own to be a watchman. 3 When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. 4 Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die. 5 They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives. 6 But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths. 7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Says New Living Translation Bible. Ezekiel 33 verse 1 to 9.
414: A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty. Says Proverbs 22 verse 16.

415B: Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home. Says Romans 16 verse 5.
415C: My host Gaius, in whose house the church meets, sends you his greetings. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation, Romans 16 verse 23.
416: I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them! 18 For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people. Says Romans 16 verse 17 to 18.
416B: Notice: All these are letter sent from Paul while he was in Corinth.
417: But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong. 12 Before some men who had been sent by James arrived there, Peter had been eating with the Gentile believers. But after these men arrived, he drew back and would not eat with the Gentiles, because he was afraid of those who were in favor of circumcising them. 13 The other Jewish believers also started acting like cowards along with Peter; and even Barnabas was swept along by their cowardly action. 14 When I saw that they were not walking a straight path in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you have been living like a Gentile, not like a Jew. How, then, can you try to force Gentiles to live like Jews?” Says Paul. Galatians 2 verse 11 to 14.
418: Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law. Says N L T bible. Galatians 2 verse 16.
419: But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! 18 Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 2 verse 17 to 18.
419B: For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So, I died to the law, I stopped trying to meet all its requirements so that I might live for God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 2 verse 19.
420: My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. Says Galatians 2 verse 20.
421: For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. Says Galatians 2 verse 21.
422: For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 6 verse 12.
423: Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks. 12 We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 So put on God's armor now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground. 14 So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, 15 and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace. 16 At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One. 17 And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. 18 Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God's people. Ephesians 6 verse 11 to 18.
424: While they were at Lystra, Paul and Barnabas came upon a man with crippled feet. He had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was sitting 9 and listening as Paul preached. Looking straight at him, Paul realized he had faith to be healed. 10 So Paul called to him in a loud voice, “Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking. 11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their local dialect, “These men are gods in human form!” 12 They decided that Barnabas was the Greek god Zeus and that Paul was Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. 13 Now the temple of Zeus was located just outside the town. So the priest of the temple and the crowd brought bulls and wreaths of flowers to the town gates, and they prepared to offer sacrifices to the apostles. 14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting, 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. 16 In the past he permitted all the nations to go their own ways, 17 but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.”18 But even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could scarcely restrain the people from sacrificing to them. Acts 14 verse 8 to 18.
425: 19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead. 20 But as the believers gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe. 21 After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia, 22 where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. Says Acts 14 verse 19 to 22.
427: 2 Watch out for those who do evil things, those dogs, those who insist on cutting the body. 3 It is we, not they, who have received the true circumcision, for we worship God by means of his Spirit and rejoice in our life in union with Christ Jesus. We do not put any trust in external ceremonies. 4 I could, of course, put my trust in such things. If any of you think you can trust in external ceremonies, I have even more reason to feel that way. 5 I was circumcised when I was a week old. I am an Israelite by birth, of the tribe of Benjamin, a pure-blooded Hebrew. As far as keeping the Jewish Law is concerned, I was a Pharisee, 6 and I was so zealous that I persecuted the church. As far as a person can be righteous by obeying the commands of the Law, I was without fault. 7 But all those things that I might count as profit I now reckon as loss for Christ's sake. 8 Not only those things; I reckon everything as complete loss for the sake of what is so much more valuable, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have thrown everything away; I consider it all as mere garbage, so that I may gain Christ 9 and be completely united with him. I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith. 10 All I want is to know Christ and to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings and become like him in his death, 11 in the hope that I myself will be raised from death to life. 12 I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself. Says Paul in Good News Translation Bible. Philippians 3 verse 1 to 12.
427B: I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself. Says Paul in Good News Translation Bible. Philippians 3 verse 12.
428: Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Says Paul in New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Philippians 3 verse 17 to 21, the end.
429: After John’s disciples left, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. “What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? 25 Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes? No, people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces. 26 Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 7 verse 24 to 26.
430: I tell you,” Jesus added, “John is greater than anyone who has ever lived. But the one who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John. Says Christ. Luke 7 verse 28.

433: When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Says King James Version Bible. Proverbs 16 verse 7.
433: What you think is the right road may lead to death. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 16 verse 25.
434: There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 16 verse 25.
435: Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for. 25 And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done. Says Christ in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Mark 11 verse 22 to 25.
436: Tell my people Israel of their sins! 2 Yet they act so devoutly religious.
They come to the Temple every day and seem delighted to learn all about me. They act like a righteous nation that would never abandon the laws of its God. They ask me to take action on their behalf, pretending they want to be near me. 3 ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say. ‘Why aren’t you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don’t even notice it!’ “I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers. 4 What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me. 5 You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting? Do you really think this will please the Lord? 6 “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. 7 Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. 8 “Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind. 9 Then when you call, the Lord will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply. “Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors! 10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. 12 Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes. Says, Isaiah chapter 58.
437: And Jesus concluded, “Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour. At that time the Kingdom of heaven will be like this. Once there was a man who was about to leave home on a trip; he called his servants and put them in charge of his property. 15 He gave to each one according to his ability: to one he gave five thousand gold coins, to another he gave two thousand, and to another he gave one thousand. Then he left on his trip. 16 The servant who had received five thousand coins went at once and invested his money and earned another five thousand. 17 In the same way the servant who had received two thousand coins earned another two thousand. 18 But the servant who had received one thousand coins went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money. 19 “After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. 20 The servant who had received five thousand coins came in and handed over the other five thousand. ‘You gave me five thousand coins, sir,’ he said. ‘Look! Here are another five thousand that I have earned.’ 21 ‘Well done, you good and faithful servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share my happiness!’ 22 Then the servant who had been given two thousand coins came in and said, ‘You gave me two thousand coins, sir. Look! Here are another two thousand that I have earned.’ 23 ‘Well done, you good and faithful servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share my happiness!’ 24 Then the servant who had received one thousand coins came in and said, ‘Sir, I know you are a hard man; you reap harvests where you did not plant, and you gather crops where you did not scatter seed. 25 I was afraid, so I went off and hid your money in the ground. Look! Here is what belongs to you.’ 26 ‘You bad and lazy servant!’ his master said. ‘You knew, did you, that I reap harvests where I did not plant, and gather crops where I did not scatter seed? 27 Well, then, you should have deposited my money in the bank, and I would have received it all back with interest when I returned. 28 Now, take the money away from him and give it to the one who has ten thousand coins. 29 For to every person who has something, even more will be given, and he will have more than enough; but the person who has nothing, even the little that he has will be taken away from him. 30 As for this useless servant—throw him outside in the darkness; there he will cry and gnash his teeth.’ Says Christ. Matthew 25 verse 13 to 30.
438: Dead man stood up alive from death as his body was thrown into Elisha’s grave. Says 2 Kings 13 verse 21.
439: 25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. 26 To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. 27 You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud. Says New Living Translation Bible. Psalm 18 verse 25 to 27.
440: Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble. 2 The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies. 3 The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health. Psalm 41 verse 1 to 3.
441: Give glory to the LORD your God before it is too late. Acknowledge him before he brings darkness upon you, causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains. For then, when you look for light, you will find only terrible darkness and gloom. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Jeremiah 13 verse 16.
442: Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up. 2 We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. 3 If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 1 to 3.
443: Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 4.
444: You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 5.
445: We told you about Jesus, and you received the Holy Spirit and accepted our message. But you let some people tell you about another Jesus. Now you are ready to receive another spirit and accept a different message. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 11 verse 4.
446: I robbed other churches by accepting more than their share of financial support for my ministry to you. Says Amplified Version Bible. 2 Corinthians 11 verse 8.
447: Those men are not true apostles, they are false apostles, who lie about their work and disguise themselves to look like real apostles of Christ. 14 Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light!! (Notice!! Paul tells a church) Says, 2 Corinthians 11 verse 13 to 14.
447B Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they servants of Christ? I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again. 24 Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. 26 I have travelled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not. 27 I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm. 28 Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak without my feeling that weakness? Who is led astray, and I do not burn with anger? 30 If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am. Says, 2 Corinthians 11 verse 22 to 33 the end.
448: For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. Says New Living Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 1.
449: Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever. Says Contemporary English Version Bible. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 1.
449B: We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. 4 We want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 6 As long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 8 We would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 2 to 8.
450: He died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for him who died and was raised to life for their sake. Says, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 15.
450B: No longer, then, do we judge anyone by human standards. Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so. Says G N T. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 16.
450C: Which is also explained as (know no man by flesh)
451: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Says, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17.
452: Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. Says Revelation 12 verse 12.
453: According to the Old Testament law, God told the Israelites to sacrifice animal burnt offering as a sin offering, that their sins will be forgiven while that. They shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent, put their hands on its head, and kill it there in the Lord's presence. And that the High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent. The High Priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it in front of the sacred curtain seven times. The High Priest shall put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the incense altar in the Tent. He shall pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar used for burning sacrifices, which is at the entrance of the Tent. The priest shall take the animal's fat and burn it on the altar used for the burnt offerings, just as he does with the fat from the animal killed for the fellowship offerings. They also used to bring either sheep or goat for sin offerings. Notice!! To read the whole chapter visit, Leviticus chapter 4.
454: You hate justice and who speaks the truth. You oppressed the poor and robbed them of their grain. I hate your religious festivals. I will not accept your offerings. Stop your noisy songs. Instead, let justice flow like a stream, and righteousness like a river that never goes dry. (Notice!! This is shortened verses. (God told the Israelite). Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Amos 5 verse 7 to 24.
455: You people are doomed! You twist the truth and stomp on justice. The Lord said: You people hate judges and honest witnesses; you abuse the poor and demand heavy taxes from them. You have built expensive homes, but you won’t enjoy them; you have planted vineyards, but you will get no wine. I am the Lord, and I know your terrible sins. You cheat honest people and take bribes; you rob the poor of justice. If you really want to live, you must stop doing wrong and start doing right. I, the Lord God All-Powerful, will then be on your side, just as you claim I am. Choose good instead of evil! See that justice is done. This is what the Lord has sworn: Noisy crying will be heard in every town and street. Even farmers will be told to mourn for the dead, together with those who are paid to mourn. Your vineyards will be filled with crying and weeping, because I will punish you. I, the Lord, have spoken! You look forward to the day when the Lord comes to judge. But you are in for trouble! It won’t be a time of sunshine; all will be darkness. You will run from a lion, only to meet a bear. You will escape to your house, rest your hand on the wall, and be bitten by a snake. The day when the Lord judges will be dark, very dark, without a ray of light. 21 I, the Lord, hate and despise your religious celebrations and your times of worship. I won’t accept your offerings or animal sacrifices, not even your very best. No more of your noisy songs! I won’t listen when you play your harps. But let justice and fairness flow like a river that never runs dry. (NOTICE!! God told his people Israel) Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Amos 5 verse 7 to 24.
455B: “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. Says Christ. Matthew 7 verse 12.
456: You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Says Christ. New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 7 verse 13 to 14.
457: Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. 21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Says Christ. New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23.
458: In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. 5 We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. Says in New Living Translation bible and in Good News Translation bible for the best understanding. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 4 to 5.
458B We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by our sincere love. 7 We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense. Says in New Living Translation bible and in Good News Translation bible for the best understanding. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 6 to 7.
458C: Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best understanding. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 9 to 10.
458D: Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 16 And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they will be my people. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 14 to 16.
458E: Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. 2 I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you were not ready for anything stronger. And you still are not ready, 3 for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Does that not prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Are you not living like people of the world? 4 When one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos”—aren't you acting like worldly people? 5 After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are simply God's servants, by whom you were led to believe. Each one of us does the work which the Lord gave him to do: 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plant, but it was God who made the plant grow. 7 The one who plants and the one who waters really do not matter. It is God who matters, because he makes the plant grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9 For we are both God’s workers. You are God’s building. Says 1 Corinthians 3 verse 1 to 9.
458F: Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 17 God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. Says 1 Corinthians 3 verse 16.
458G: Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.” 20 And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise; he knows they are worthless.” 21 So don’t boast about following a particular human leader. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 3 verse 18 to 21.
459: Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” Says Christ. John 11 verse 25 to 26.
460: Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Do not look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Says Good News Translation Bible, or New Living Translation bible for the best understanding. Philippians 2 verse 3 to 5.
460B: He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God. 7 Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant. He became like a human being and appeared in human likeness. 8 He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death, his death on the cross. Says Good News Translation Bible. Philippians 2 verse 6 to 8.
461: For this reason, God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name. 10 And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees, 11 and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Says, Philippians 2 verse 9 to 11.
462: Whoever teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching of our religion 4 is swollen with pride and knows nothing. He has an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words, and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 3 to 4.
463: and perpetual friction between men who are corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, who think that godliness is a source of profit, a lucrative, money-making business, withdraw from them. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 6 verse 5.
464: and constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich. 6 Well, religion does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 6 verse 5 to 6.
465: What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What can we take out of the world? Nothing! 8 So then, if we have food and clothes, that should be enough for us. 9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil. Some have been so eager to have it that they have wandered away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many sorrows. 11 But you, man of God, avoid all these things. Strive for righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Run your best in the race of faith, and win eternal life for yourself; for it was to this life that God called you when you firmly professed your faith before many witnesses. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 7 to 12.
466: Verse 17, teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment, says N L T. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share with others. 19 In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 17 to 19.
467: Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” 21 For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 20 to 21.
468: 15 I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! 16 But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich and well off; I have all I need.’ But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind. 18 I advise you, then, to buy gold from me, pure gold, in order to be rich. Buy also white clothing to dress yourself and cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy also some ointment to put on your eyes, so that you may see. 19 I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins. 20 Listen! I stand at the door and knock; if any hear my voice and open the door, I will come into their house and eat with them, and they will eat with me. 21 To those who win the victory I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on his throne. 22 “If you have ears, then, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches! Says Christ. Revelation 3 verse 15 to 22. The end.
469: To those who win the victory I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on his throne. Says Christ. Revelation 3 verse 21.

471: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves. 3 “Worship no god but me. 4 “Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. 5 Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation. Says Good News Translation Bible. Exodus 20 verse 2 to 5.
472: You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me. Says John 12 verse 8.
472B: There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with other Israelites in need. Says, Deuteronomy 15 verse 11.
472C: I know about your suffering and your poverty, but you are rich! I know the blasphemy of those opposing you. They say they are Jews, but they are not, because their synagogue belongs to Satan. Says Christ. Revelation 2 verse 9.
473: Don't be afraid of anything you are about to suffer. Listen! The Devil will put you to the test by having some of you thrown into prison, and your troubles will last ten days. Be faithful to me, even if it means death, and I will give you life as your prize of victory. Says Christ. Revelation 2 verse 10.
474: Stop believing those deceitful words, ‘We are safe! This is the Lord's Temple, this is the Lord's Temple, this is the Lord's Temple!’ 5 “Change the way you are living and stop doing the things you are doing. Be fair in your treatment of one another. 6 Stop taking advantage of aliens, orphans, and widows. Stop killing innocent people in this land. Stop worshiping other gods, for that will destroy you. 7 If you change, I will let you go on living here in the land which I gave your ancestors as a permanent possession. 8 “Look, you put your trust in deceitful words. 9 You steal, murder, commit adultery, tell lies under oath, offer sacrifices to Baal, and worship gods that you had not known before. 10 You do these things I hate, and then you come and stand in my presence, in my own Temple, and say, ‘We are safe!’ 11 Do you think that my Temple is a hiding place for robbers? I have seen what you are doing. 12 Go to Shiloh, the first place where I chose to be worshiped, and see what I did to it because of the sins of my people Israel. 13 You have committed all these sins, and even though I spoke to you over and over again, you refused to listen. You would not answer when I called you. 14 And so, what I did to Shiloh I will do to this Temple of mine, in which you trust. Here in this place that I gave to your ancestors and you, I will do the same thing that I did to Shiloh. 15 I will drive you out of my sight as I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel. I, the Lord, have spoken. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jeremiah 7 verse 4 to 15.
474B. Notice!! New Living Translation Bible says in verse 4 to 7 of Jeremiah 7: But don’t be fooled by those who promise you safety simply because the Lord’s Temple is here. They chant, “The Lord’s Temple is here! The Lord’s Temple is here!” 5 But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice; 6 only if you stop exploiting foreigners, orphans, and widows; only if you stop your murdering; and only if you stop harming yourselves by worshiping idols. 7 Then I will let you stay in this land that I gave to your ancestors to keep forever.
475: Then I will destroy this Temple as I destroyed Shiloh, the place where the Tabernacle was located. And I will make Jerusalem an object of cursing in every nation on earth. (Notice!! If you read from verse 1 God talks to disobedient Israelites, if they refuse to change) Says Jeremiah 26 verse 6.
476: Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you, when you already have it with you. Says Proverbs 3 verse 28.
477: Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3 verse 3.
478: The Sovereign Lord never does anything without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets. Amos 3 verse 7.
479: Help carry one another's burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 6 verse 2.
480: So, let us not become tired of doing good, for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone especially to those in the family of faith. Says Galatians 6 verse 9 to 10.
481: A Christian wife or husband can marry an unbeliever and God can through him or her accept the other person. He or she should not divorce him or her. (Notice!! This is just a Summary of the reading) Says 1 Corinthians 7 verse 12 to 14.
482: I don’t know of anything that the Lord said about people who have never been married. But I will tell you what I think. And you can trust me, because the Lord has treated me with kindness. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 7:25.
483: We are now going through hard times, and I think it is best for you to stay as you are. 27 If you are married, stay married. If you are not married, don’t try to get married. 28 It isn’t wrong to marry, even if you have never been married before. But those who marry will have a lot of trouble, and I want to protect you from that. 29 My friends, what I mean is that the Lord will soon come, and it won’t matter if you are married or not. 30 It will be all the same if you are crying or laughing, or if you are buying or are completely broke. 31 It won’t make any difference how much good you are getting from this world or how much you like it. This world as we know it is now passing away. (Notice!!! Paul gives his opinion) Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 7 verse 26 to 31.
484: Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. Says Proverbs 24 verse 17.
484B: Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob I would give to their descendants. I have let you see it, but I will not let you go there.”5 So Moses, the Lord's servant, died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said he would. (Notice: This was as God took him to Mount Nebo) Says Deuteronomy 34 verse 1 to 5.
485: There has never been a prophet in Israel like Moses; the Lord spoke with him face-to-face. Says Deuteronomy 34 verse 10.
486: The Lord said to Moses, take the stick that is in front of the Covenant Box, and assemble the whole community. In front of them all speak to the rock there, and water will gush out of it for the people to drink. Moses assembled the people in front of the rock and said, “Listen, you rebels! Do we have to get water out of this rock for you?” Moses raised the stick and struck the rock twice with it, and a great stream of water gushed out, and all the people and their animals drank. But God told Moses and Aaron, “because you did not have enough faith to acknowledge my holy power before the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land that I promised to give them.” Says Numbers 20 verse 7 to 12.
487: The Lord says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house, then, could you build for me, what kind of place for me to live in? 2 I myself created the whole universe! I am pleased with those who are humble and repentant, who fear me and obey me. Says Isaiah 66 verse 1 to 2.
Notice!!! Christ replied Satan who told him to worship him there to give him kingdoms of the world.
488: Then Jesus went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath he went as usual to the synagogue. Or, as his custom was he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read the Scriptures. Luke 4 verse 16.
488B: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 4 verse 18.
489: Notice!!! Christ drove out Demonic witches spirit inside a man. And also he healed those who were demonic bound too and healed everyone who was sick that came to him there. Luke 4 verse 31 to 41. the end.
491: Verse says 15: For he said to Moses, I will have mercy on anyone I wish, I will take pity on anyone I wish. Notice!! From verse 25 says: This is what he says in the book of Hosea: The people who were not mine I will call ‘My People. The nation that I did not love I will call ‘My Beloved. 26 And in the very place where they were told, ‘You are not my people, there they will be called the children of the living God. 27 And Isaiah exclaims about Israel: Even if the people of Israel are as many as the grains of sand by the sea, yet only a few of them will be saved. 30 So we say that the Gentiles, who were not trying to put themselves right with God, were put right with him through faith; 31 while God's people, the Israel who were seeking a law that would put them right with God, did not find it. 32 And why not? Because they did not depend on faith but on what they did. And so they stumbled over the “stumbling stone. Romans 9 verse 15 to 33. The end.
492: Notice!! This above was referring to what God told Moses in Exodus 33 verse 19.
493: Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life. Says New Living Translation Bible. Psalm 62 verse 10.
494: So then, let us stop judging one another. Instead, you should decide never to do anything that would make others stumble or fall into sin. Says Good News Translation Bible. Romans 14 verse 13.
495: When you are with unbelievers, always make good use of the time. 6 Be pleasant and hold their interest when you speak the message. Choose your words carefully and be ready to give answers to anyone who asks questions. Says Colossians 4 verse 5 to 6
496: Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death, and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. Says Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 2 verse 14 to 15.
497: For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened, those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come, 6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance, by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 6 verse 4 to 6.
498: Honor the Lord, all his people, those who obey him have all they need. 10 Even lions go hungry for lack of food, but those who obey the Lord lack nothing good. Says Psalm 34 verse 9 to 10.
499: Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. 15 Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie or practice falsehood. Says Christ, in New International Version Bible and New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Revelation 22 verse 14 to 15.

501: Apostles of Christ were arguing again within themselves, who is the greatest. But Christ knew what they were thinking and told them there that if they welcome little children that they welcome him, and he still told them there that the one who is least among them is the greatest. Says Luke 9 verse 46 to 48.
Notice!! Apostles did such argument again about who is the greatest, in Luke 22 verse 24 to 27.
502: John spoke up, “Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group. 50 “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus said to him and to the other disciples, “because whoever is not against us is for us.” Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 9 verse 49 to 50.
502B: Notice!! So, it does not matter if you belong to a church group, so long as you use Christ’s name in truth.
503: Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But the people of the village did not receive Christ, because he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them just as Elijah did?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village. Says Christ in King James Version Bible or New King James Version Bible for the best explanation, Luke 9 verse 51 to 56.
504: As they went on their way, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest.” Says Luke 9 verse 57 to 58.
507: As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind. 2 His disciples asked him, “Teacher, whose sin caused him to be born blind? Was it his own or his parents' sin?” 3 Jesus answered, “His blindness has nothing to do with his sins or his parents' sins. He is blind so that God's power might be seen at work in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me; night is coming when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light for the world.” 6 After he said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; he rubbed the mud on the man's eyes 7 and told him, “Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam.” (This name means “Sent.”) So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing. Says John 9 verse 1 to 7.
508: When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 The man answered, “Tell me who he is, sir, so that I can believe in him!” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have already seen him, and he is the one who is talking with you now.” 38 “I believe, Lord!” the man said, and knelt down before Jesus. Says John 9 verse 35 to 39.
Notice!! These show that the poor and seek are there so that through us healing them first and giving them Christ they will be ok and converted.
509: We know that God does not listen to sinners, he does listen to people who respect him and do what he wants them to do. Says John 9 verse 31.
510: For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others. 11 Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves. 12 People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish. 13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. 14 They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions. 16 Don't be upset when someone becomes rich, when his wealth grows even greater; 17 he cannot take it with him when he dies; his wealth will not go with him to the grave. 18 Even if someone is satisfied with this life and is praised because he is successful, 19 he will join all his ancestors in death, where the darkness lasts forever. 20 Our greatness cannot keep us from death; we will still die like the animals. Says in Good News Translation Bible and New International Version Bible for the best explanation. Psalm 49 verse 10 to 20 the end.
511: Each one of you says something different. One says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Peter”; and another, “I follow Christ.” 13 Christ has been divided into groups! Was it Paul who died on the cross for you? Were you baptized as Paul's disciples? Notice!! Paul asked. 1 Corinthians 1 verse 12 to 13.
512: 18 For the message about Christ's death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is God's power. 19 The scripture says, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars.” God has shown that this world's wisdom is foolishness! 21 For God in his wisdom made it impossible for people to know him by means of their own wisdom. Instead, by means of the so-called “foolish” message we preach, God decided to save those who believe. 22 Jews want miracles for proof, and Greeks look for wisdom. 23 As for us, we proclaim the crucified Christ, a message that is offensive to the Jews and nonsense to the Gentiles; 24 but for those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, this message is Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For what seems to be God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 27 God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. 28 He chose what the world looks down on and despises and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important. 29 This means that no one can boast in God's presence. 30 But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God's holy people and are set free. 1 Corinthians 1 verse 18 to 30. The end.
512B: Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu put coals of fire in their incense burners and sprinkled incense over them. In this way, they disobeyed the Lord by burning before him the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded. 2 Suddenly God sent fire, and it destroyed them to death there in the presence of the Lord, and they died there before The Lord. Says (Douay-Rheims Bible translation) for the best explanation) Leviticus 10 verse 1 to 2.
513: The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons who died after they entered the Lord’s presence and burned the wrong kind of fire before him. 2 The Lord said to Moses, “Warn your brother, Aaron, not to enter the Most Holy Place behind the inner curtain whenever he chooses; if he does, he will die. For the Ark’s cover the place of atonement is there, and I myself am present in the cloud above the atonement cover. New Living Translation Bible. Leviticus 16 verse 1 to 2.
513B: When Aaron enters the sanctuary area, he must follow these instructions fully. He shall bring a bull for a sin offering to take away his sins and his family’s sins, to make them right with God. A goat is to be offered as a sin offering to God, 15 and the goat's blood will also be sprinkled over the atonement cover. 16 Through this process, he will purify the Most Holy Place, and he will do the same for the entire Tabernacle, because of the Israelites’ sins. 10 Another goat which will be a scapegoat chosen for Azazel shall be presented alive to the Lord. 21 Aaron the priest hall put both of his hands on the goat's head and confess over it all the sins of the people of Israel, and so transfer the sins to the goat's head. Then the goat is to be sent off into a desert, to Azazel, in order to take away the sins of the people of Israel, for them to be purified right with God. 13 The priest will also burn incense where the Ark of the covenant was kept which is a place of the atonement in God’s presence. 14 The priest must take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it on the atonement cover. 24 Then Aaron must bathe himself with water and change his clothes and go out to sacrifice a burnt offering for himself and a burnt offering for the people. Through this process he will purify himself and the people, making them right with the Lord. 25 He must then burn all the fat of the sin offering on the altar. (Notice!! These are some duties of the priests and Levites in the Old Testament) To read it in full details visit, Leviticus chapter 16.
513C: Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel climbed up the mountain and saw the God of Israel. They saw God, and they ate and drank together. Says Exodus 24 verse 9 to 11.
Notice!! If Nadab and Abihu the sons of Aaron could see God and ate and drank with him and yet God destroyed them for their unfaithfulness, this shows that one can be a friend of God today, and if he goes evil he maybe destroyed by God again. Some bible translations called them noble men who saw God.
513D: God of Israel specifically chose Aaron and his four sons which were Nadab the most senior, Abihu the 2nd, Eleazar and Ithamar to be priests to minister for him before the Israelites forever. In Exodus 28 verse 1, and in Exodus 29 verse 9.
514: He abandoned his tent in Shiloh, the home where he had lived among us. Says in Good News Translation or New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Psalm 78 verse 60.
514B: He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes. 56 But they kept testing and rebelling against God Most High. They did not obey his laws. 57 They turned back and were as faithless as their parents. They were as undependable as a crooked bow. 58 They angered God by building shrines to other gods; they made him jealous with their idols. 59 When God heard them, he was very angry, and he completely rejected Israel his people. 60 Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people. 61 He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured; he surrendered his glory into enemy hands. 62 He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword, because he was so angry with his own people his special possession. 63 Their young men were killed by fire; their young women died before singing their wedding songs. 64 Their priests were slaughtered, and their widows could not mourn their deaths. Psalm 78 verse 55 to 65. The end.
515: God Almighty rejected the Israelites for chatting the poor, and trampling down the needy and not being honest to one another. So because of that he specifically said that their singing in the temple will be like crying, and that dead bodies will be scattered everywhere. He told them that they can’t wait for the Sabbath day to be over and the religious festivals to end so that they can get back to cheating the helpless. How very bitter that day will be! 11 “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from border to border searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 13 Beautiful girls and strong young men will grow faint in that day, thirsting for the Lord’s word. Say God Almighty. Amos 8 verse 1 to 14. The end.
516: “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the Lord. Amos 8 verse 11.
Notice: Read it down, God’s people were killed by their enemies for their sins.
517: I create both light and darkness; I bring both blessing and disaster. I, the LORD, do all these things. Says Good News Translation Bible. Isaiah 45 verse 7.
517B: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Says King James Versioin Bible. Isaiah 45 verse 7.
518: Then this message came to me from the Lord: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds. Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: What sorrow awaits you shepherds who feed yourselves instead of your flocks. Shouldn’t shepherds feed their sheep? 3 You drink the milk, wear the wool, and butcher the best animals, but you let your flocks starve. 4 You have not taken care of the weak. You have not tended the sick or bound up the injured. You have not gone looking for those who have wandered away and are lost. Instead, you have ruled them with harshness and cruelty. 5 So my sheep have been scattered without a shepherd, and wild animals killed and ate them. 7 “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, you abandoned my flock and left them to be attacked by every wild animal. And though you were my shepherds, you didn’t search for my sheep when they were lost. You took care of yourselves and left the sheep to starve. 9 So listen to me, you shepherds. 10 I, the Sovereign Lord, declare that I am your enemy. I will take my sheep away from you and never again let you be their shepherds; never again will I let you take care only of yourselves. I will rescue my sheep from you and not let you eat them. 11 “I myself will look for my sheep and take care of them. Ezekiel Chapter 34.
519: Many people ran to the sea shore to wait for Christ, and he got out of the boat and began to preach to them there. 35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. 36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” 37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!” 38 “How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.” They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.” 39 Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred. 41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share. 42 They all ate as much as they wanted. Says Mark 6 verse 33 to 42.
520: On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. Others say that they were drunk. Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and told the people that no, that they were not drunk. That it had been prophesied by prophet Joel. 17 ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants— men and women alike— and they will prophesy. 32 “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this. 33 Now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God’s right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today. Says Acts 2 verse 1 to 33.
Notice!! These above show that after the death of Christ God poured out holy spirit on everyone as says from verse 17 of Acts chapter 2, so that they can see visions, prophesy, dream dreams and etc.
521C: And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. Says Acts 2 verse 44 to 45. The end.
521: Study to shew thyself approved unto God. Says King James Version Bible for the best explanation, 2 Timothy 2 verse 15.
522: About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church. 2 He had the apostle James (John’s brother) killed with a sword. 3 When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter. Notice!! Reading this down explains how he imprisoned Peter and how Holy Spirit rescued Peter from the prison, and he was still searching for Peter and even killed the prison guards for that. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation, Acts 12 verse 1 to 18.
523: By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.” Says New Living Translation Bible, Genesis 3 verse 19.
524: God sent Prophet Nathan to King David. He told David, a rich man has many animals, but a poor man has only one lamb. One day the rich man had a guest and instead of the rich man to kill from his many animals he took from the poor man's only loving lamb and killed it for his guest. David vowed with God's name that such a rich wicked man would surely die. Prophet Nathan told David that it was him. God says, ‘I made you king of Israel and rescued you from Saul. 8 I gave you his kingdom and his wives; If this had not been enough, I would have given you twice as much. 10 From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own. You let the Ammonites kill him, and then you took his wife! 11 “This is what the Lord says: Because of what you have done, I will cause your own household to rebel against you. I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view. 12 You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.” 13 Then David confessed to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied, “Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin. 14 Nevertheless, because you didn’t care what the Lord wanted by doing this, your child will die.” The child died later. 24 David got Bathsheba pregnant again and she bore Solomon. 2 Samuel chapter 12.
525: The godly care about the rights of the poor, the wicked don’t care at all. Proverbs 29 verse 7.
526: Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.” Genesis 6 verse 3.
527: The LORD observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and he was so filled with regret. Genesis 6 verse 5 to 6.
Notice!! Reading down of this Genesis chapter 6 described how God Almighty destroyed the previous world, but saved only Noah the righteous man and his family.
528: Old testament scriptures also prophesied about Christ's coming, how he will be killed because of our sins, yet he did not sin, and how he will bear the sins of the world and be buried like a criminal. It says that his life is made an offering for our sins. It also says that there was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. Prophesied by prophet Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 53.
529: With strong arguments Apollos defeated the Jews in public debates by proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah. Notice!! Verse 28 is the main verse. Acts chapter 18.
530: People of Israel have zeal for God, but it is misdirected zeal which is not based on knowledge. 3 For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. 5 For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. 6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” 8 In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart. And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him which he saves them. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 10 verse 1 to 13.
530C: Verse 4, but Christ makes the Law no longer necessary for those who become acceptable to God by faith. 5 Moses said a person could become acceptable to God by obeying the Law. He did this when he wrote, “If you want to live, you must do all the Law commands.” So do not doubt about Christ, just believe in him and believe in his death and you will be saved and as you preach it to others. Says Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 10 verse 4 to 10.
Notice!! In Romans chapter 10 you just red above from verse 5 are just summaries that we removed from the whole chapter.
531: Ezra had devoted his life to studying God's command, to practice them, and to teach them to the people of Israel. Says Ezra chapter 7 verse 10.
532: Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. Says Proverbs chapter 23.
533: I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, or according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. Says Revelation chapter 20 verse 12.
534: When God says (Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm) he was warning the kings of different lands to not touch his people the entire Israelites while they were going to the promised land from Egypt. So everyone in Christ is anointed, but not only the pastors that this is concerning. It is written in Psalm chapter 105 verse 15, precisely.
535: Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. 22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Says Christ. Matthew 21 verse 21 to 22.
535B: “But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. 30 Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go. 31 “Which of the two obeyed his father?” They replied, “The first.” Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. 32 For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins. Says Christ. Matthew 21 verse 28 to 32.
536: Notice!! Christ is not supporting sin or prostitution here, but he means that such people who repent will make heaven than his followers who refused to repent.
537: One day as Christ was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. 2 He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 Stepping into one of the boats, Christ asked Simon who was the owner of the boat, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” 5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” 6 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! 7 A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking. 8 When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me, I’m such a sinful man.” 9 For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him. 10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed. Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus. Luke 5 verse 1 to 11.
Notice!! This exact above teaches that Christ did not need a church temple to have preached to Simon Peter who was a sinner and to preach to the crowds too as he converted Simon Peter that day along with James and John whose boat was used that day to catch the large amount of fish with Peter’s boat.
538: Christ healed a leprous man and told him to go and offer sacrifices as commanded by the Old Testament law God gave through Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. Luke 5 verse 12 to 14.
539: God Almighty’s commands to Moses concerning a leprosy person. A leprosy person shall be brought to a priest and the priest shall go outside the camp to examine him or her. If the leprosy is healed the priest shall command the leper to bring two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop, for cleaning him. The priest will command that one of the birds be killed in a clay pot filled with fresh water. 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 7 And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field. 8 He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days. 9 But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean. 10 “And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs with no defects, and one year old female lamb with no defects, three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering, and a cup of olive oil. 11 Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it as a trespass offering, and the olive oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 13 Then he shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so is the trespass offering. It is a most holy offering. 14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 15 “Then the priest will pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand. 16 Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the olive oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord. 17 And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering. 18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. Through this process, the priest will purify the leprous person before God Almighty. 19 “Then the priest must present the sin offering to purify the person who was cured of the leprosy. After that, the priest will slaughter the burnt offering 20 and offer it on the altar along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person who was healed of leprosy, and the person will be ceremonially clean. 21 “ But anyone who is too poor and cannot afford these offerings may bring one male lamb for a guilt offering which has to be used on him similar to the lamb as described above, and must also include two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of the pair must be used for the sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 30 “Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. 31 One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the leprous person before the Lord. 32: These is the law for a leprous person to be cleansed by a priest. Notice!! We cut many verses here to make it shorter as a summary. King James Version Bible for the best translation. Leviticus 14 verse 1 to 32.
540: Law of molded house or leprous house as God Almighty says it should be knocked down if priest finds it molded. New International Version Bible. Leviticus 14 verse 1 to 33 to 57.

1: You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. 40 And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 You must be perfect—just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Says Christ, in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 38 to 48.
1B: You must show no pity for the guilty. Your rule should be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Deuteronomy 19 verse 21.
Notice!! So, but Christ has come in the New Testament Bible in Matthew 5 verse 38 to 48 and exactly tells us that we have heard that it was said eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth but that he tells us that if someone offends us that we should not revenge. So, everyone had once offended someone before. Those are why (Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live prayer) is only written in the Old Testament Bible Exodus 22 verse 18, it is not written in the New Testament Bible. So we can not use it to condemn any human sinner in the New Testament today again. No witch can kill the souls of the pure Christ’s followers proves Christ in Luke 10 verse 19, and in Luke 6 verse 46 to 49. But even if their flesh are killed know that God Almighty wants to take their souls to heaven just like Stephen who was killed by humans, and he made heaven. So, read just the below to see another Old Testament bible that we cannot practice today due to Christ’s death.
1C: Suppose you go out to war against your enemies and the Lord your God hands them over to you, and you take some of them as captives. 11 And suppose you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her and want to marry her. 12 If this happens, you may take her to your home, where she must shave her head, cut her nails, 13 and change the clothes she was wearing when she was captured. She will stay in your home, but let her mourn for her father and mother for a full month. Then you may marry her, and you will be her husband and she will be your wife. 14 But if you marry her and she does not please you, you must let her go free. You may not sell her or treat her as a slave, for you have humiliated her. Deuteronomy 21 verse 10 to 14.
2: For God will not show mercy when he judges a person who has not been merciful; but mercy triumphs over judgment. 14 My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? 15 Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. 16 What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!”—if you don't give them the necessities of life? 17 So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. 18 But someone will say, “One person has faith, another has actions.” My answer is, “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions.” 20 You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless? 21 How was our ancestor Abraham put right with God? It was through his actions, when he offered his son Isaac on the altar. 22 Can't you see? His faith and his actions worked together; his faith was made perfect through his actions. 23 And the scripture came true that said, “Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous.” And so Abraham was called God's friend. 24 You see, then, that it is by our actions that we are put right with God, and not by our faith alone. 25 It was the same with the prostitute Rahab. She was put right with God through her actions, by welcoming the Israelite spies and helping them to escape by a different road. 26 So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead. Says James 2 verse 13 to 26.
3: But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone hits you on one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. 30 Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31 Do for others just what you want them to do for you. 32 “If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that! 34 And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount! 35 No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful just as your Father is merciful. 37 “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you. 38 Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands—all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.” 39 And Jesus told them this parable: “One blind man cannot lead another one; if he does, both will fall into a ditch. 43 “A healthy tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a poor tree bear good fruit. 44 Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes or gather grapes from bramble bushes. 45 A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and yet don't do what I tell you? 47 Anyone who comes to me and listens to my words and obeys them—I will show you what he is like. 48 He is like a man who, in building his house, dug deep and laid the foundation on rock. The river flooded over and hit that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But anyone who hears my words and does not obey them is like a man who built his house without laying a foundation; when the flood hit that house it fell at once—and what a terrible crash that was!”. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 27 to 49.
3B: 13 “Suppose a man marries a woman, but after sleeping with her, he turns against her 14 and publicly accuses her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘When I married this woman, I discovered she was not a virgin.’ 15 Then the woman’s father and mother must bring the proof of her virginity to the elders as they judge the case. 20 But if the charge is true and there is no proof that she was a virgin before he married her, 21 then they are to take the man’s wife out to the entrance of her father's house, where the men of her city are to stone her to death. She has done a shameful thing among our people by having intercourse before she was married, while she was still living in her father's house. In this way you will get rid of this evil. 22 “If a man is caught having intercourse with another man's wife, both of them are to be put to death. In this way you will get rid of this evil. 23 “Suppose a man is caught in a town having intercourse with a young woman who is engaged to someone else. 24 You are to take them outside the town and stone them to death. She is to die because she did not cry out for help, although she was in a town, where she could have been heard. And the man is to die because he had intercourse with someone who was engaged. In this way you will get rid of this evil. 25 “Suppose a man out in the countryside rapes a young woman who is engaged to someone else. Then only the man is to be put to death; 26 nothing is to be done to the woman, because she has not committed a sin worthy of death. This case is the same as when one man attacks another man and murders him. (Notice!! To get the whole writings read from verse 13). Says Deuteronomy 22 verse 20 to 26.
Notice!!! Remember, we are not to practice these kinds of Old Testament bible law in the New Testament bible today, which is humans killing each others as says here. So, these above you did read are just to show us that we the humans can never use any Old Testament bible law to judge or condemn other human sinners, due to Christ has died for all sinners’ chances of repentance. If sinners refuse to repent after death only God Almighty can judge them and send them to hell fire for forever punishment. So, when people also quote Old Testament Exodus 22 verse 18 which says, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, it is only recorded in the Old Testament bible, but not in the New Testament bible. In the New Testament bible no human can call any sinner Christ died for witch. Those are why Galatians 5 verse 4 says that people who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut themselves off from Christ, that they are outside God's grace. So, it is mostly referring to these laws of humans condemning other human sinners, just as a man was able to kill his wife just for not being a virgin from her father’s house according to the Old Testament Bible.
4: So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. 33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. 34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 12 verse 32 to 34.
5: All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. 33 The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. 34 There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35 and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need. Acts 4 verse 32 to 37.
6: Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry. 20 Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose. 21 So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. 22 Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice. James 1 verse 19 to 22.
6B: What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world. Says in Good New Bible. James 1 verse 27.
7: When the Son of Man comes as King and all the angels with him, he will sit on his royal throne, 32 and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the righteous people at his right and the others at his left. 34 Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world. 35 I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me in your homes, 36 naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.’ 37 The righteous will then answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? 38 When did we ever see you a stranger and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ 40 The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Away from me, you that are under God's curse! Away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels! 42 I was hungry but you would not feed me, thirsty but you would not give me a drink; 43 I was a stranger but you would not welcome me in your homes, naked but you would not clothe me; I was sick and in prison but you would not take care of me.’ 44 Then they will answer him, ‘When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and we would not help you?’ 45 The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.’ 46 Christ says, those people will be sent off to eternal punishment, but the righteous will go to eternal life.” Says Christ. Matthew 25 verse 31 to 46.
8: For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 6 verse 12.
9: That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 1 verse 26 to 27.
10: Run away from sexual immorality in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. Says Amplified Version Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 18.
11: If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. Says Christ. John 15 verse 7.
12: If you obey me, I will keep loving you, just as my Father keeps loving me, because I have obeyed him. Says Jesus in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. John 15 verse 10.
13: If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. 20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. 21 They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me. Says Christ. John 15 verse 18 to 21.
14: I have told you this, so that you will not give up your faith. 2 You will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time will come when those who kill you will think that by doing this they are serving God. 3 People will do these things to you because they have not known either the Father or me. 4 But I have told you this, so that when the time comes for them to do these things, you will remember what I told you. Says Christ. John 16 verse 1 to 4.
15: I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world! Says Christ. John 16 verse 33.
Part 2
1: Later that same day Jesus left the house and sat beside the lake, sea of Galilee. 2 A large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat there and taught as the people stood on the shore. 3 He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one: “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds. 4 As he scattered them across his field, some seeds fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate them. Notice!! And etc. Says Christ. Matthew 13 verse 1 to 9.
1B: His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?” 11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. 12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. 13 That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand. 14 This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says, ‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend. 15 For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’ 16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 17 I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it. Says Matthew 13 verse 10 to 17.
1C: “Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds: 19 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts. 20 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. 21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word. 22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced. 23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” Says Christ. Matthew 13 verse 18 to 23.
1D: Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 13 verse 24 to 30.
1E: A man sowed good seed but enemy came and sowed weed. The servants told the man about it for them to remove them, and etc. Christ's parable. Says Christ Matthew 13 verse 24 to 30.
1F: To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. Says Christ Matthew 13 verse 12.
2: A stubborn child shall be stoned to death by the Israelites in order to wipe out evil. God Almighty commanded them. Says Deuteronomy 21 verse 18 to 21.
3: A man who spoilt Sabbath day was stoned to death by the Israelites, which God Almighty told Moses that they should stone him to death. They did not know what to do with the man as they caught him, before God Almighty told them to kill him. Says Numbers 15 verse 32 to 36.
3B: Notice!! All these above also proves that we the humans cannot use Old Testament bible law to judge and condemn any human again except only God Almighty can do that. If not, all humans would have killed one another due to Sabbath day and due to children being stubborn as many of us were stubborn and today no human has kept the Sabbath day perfectly since born if I may say.
3C: Then Moses called together the whole community of Israel and told them, “These are the instructions the Lord has commanded you to follow. 2 You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death. 3 You must not even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath.” says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Exodus 35 verse 1 to 3.
Notice!! Some bible translations still says (must be put to death)
4B: A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days, says in New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 28 verse 16.
6: A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Says Psalm 90 verse 4.
6B: Seventy years is all we have, eighty years if we are strong; yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow; life is soon over, and we are gone. Says Psalm 90 verse 10.
6C: Notice!! As God told David that he will make his own family make trouble with him and that another person will sleep with his wives before the Israelites openly, as a punishment for committing adultery and killing the husband Uriah, this is the bible chapter where it happened: From, 20 Absalom turned to Ahethophel and said, “Give us your advice! What should we do?” 21 Ahethophel answered, “Some of your father’s wives were left here to take care of the palace. You should have sex with them. Then everyone will find out that you have publicly disgraced your father. This will make you and your followers even more powerful.” 22 Absalom had a tent set up on the flat roof of the palace, and everyone watched as he went into the tent with his father’s wives and slept with them. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 2 Samuel 16 verse 20 to 22.
6D: Notice!! David lamented, my own son is trying to kill me. Says 2 Samuel 16 verse 11.
6E: Notice!! All these we just read above prove that if God is against someone, he can use the person’s family or friends to fight the person.
7: Ahithophel’s advice he gave was as if man had consulted the word of God; that's how all Ahithophel’s counsel was regarded by David and Absalom. Says Amplified Version Bible. 2 Samuel 16 verse 23.
8: Ahethophel's advises Absalom, for David to be killed. Says 2 Samuel 17 verse 1 to 3.
9: God made Ahithophel's good advice to not be followed so disaster befalls Absalom. Says 2 Samuel 17 verse 14.
10: Ahithophel hanged himself, due to his advice on Absalom was not followed. Says 2 Samuel 17 verse 23.
11: Absalom was defeated and killed after his hair was caught hanging on the tree while his mule ran out under him (NOTICE!!! Joab killed him) Says 2 Samuel 18 verse 9.
12: A day will come when Satan will go to even God's temple and sit down and claim to be God. Don't let anyone deceive you. Says Amplified Version Bible. 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 3 to 4.
13: lawless Antichrist through the activity of Satan with great power of all kinds of lying counterfeit miracles, deceptive signs and wonders, with seduction to evil and wickedness will come on those who are perishing, because they didn't welcome the love of the truth of the gospel so as to be saved, they were spiritually blind and rejected the truth that would have saved them. Because of this God will send misleading spirit of error and deception to them, so they will believe lies and be judged and condemned because they refused to believe the truth and the need for salvation through Christ, instead they took pleasure in sin. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 9 to 12.
15: Someone asked Christ what he can do to enter heaven. 17 If you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” the man asked. And Jesus replied: “‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. 19 Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself. 20 “I have obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else must I do?” 21 Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 23 It would be harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Says Christ. Matthew. 19 verse 16 to 24.
16: We have left everything & followed you. What will we have Peter asked. Christ replied, be sure that when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the New Age, you twelve followers of mine will also sit on thrones, to rule. All who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times more & will be given eternal life. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 19 verse 27 to 30, the end.
16B: Jesus answered: Yes, all of you have become my followers. And so in the future world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, I promise you will sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Says Christ, in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 19 verse 28.
17: Many who now are first will be last, and many who now are last will be first. Says Christ In Matthew 19 verse 30.
18: After the Sabbath as Sunday morning was dawning Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. Says Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 28 verse 1.
19: Go and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this I am with you always even to the end of the age. (Notice!! Christ told his disciples these as he got up from the grave). Says New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 28 verse 19 to 20.
20: A lady who used evil spirit to tell the future and earn money followed Paul and the rest of them shouting, 'These men are servants of the Most High God telling you how to be saved. Paul cast out the evil spirit in her in the name of Jesus Christ. Says Acts 16 verse 16 to 18.
Notice: This proves that evil spirit can see vision too.
20B: So as the master of the lady felt that Paul and Silas had spoilt his source of income from the lady’s magic future telling, he ganged up against Paul and Silas that they preach false message, and Paul and Silas were stripped, they were severely beaten with wooden rods and were thrown into prison. They prayed and sang in the prison and the earthquake happened there and their chains fell off. The prison guard wanted to commit suicide as Paul and Silas were chain less, and they stopped him, and he asked them what to do to be saved, and they told him to believe in Christ both his family to be saved. They preached to him and his household and they baptized them and they were converted to God Almighty. Paul and Silas were officially freed later from the prison. Notice!!! this is just a summary of the story. Says Acts 16 verse 19 to 40, the end.
Notice!! This shows that it is not only in the church building that we can preach or work for God. So, Paul and Silas converted someone for God even in the prison.
21: A teacher of the Law asked. What is the most important commandment? Jesus replied, you have only one Lord & God, love him with all your soul & strength, second is love others as you love yourself. Also Christ replied, no other commandment is more important than these. 32 The man replied to Jesus that he is right, that these two commandments are more important than all the sacrifices and offerings that we could possibly make. Christ saw that he gave a sensible answer & told him that he is not far from heaven. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Mark 12 verse 28 to 34.
22: (Notice!! Good News Translation bible, King James Version bible and New Living Translation bible add animal burnt offering in the verse 33 of this Mark chapter 12)
23: Two things I ask God before I die, keep me from lying, do not let me be rich or poor. Give me only as much food as I need. If I have more, I might say that I do not need you. But if I am poor, I might steal and bring disgrace on my God. Notice!! Agur son of Jakeh. Says Proverbs 30 verse 7 to 9.
24: Animal that takes a human life I will punish it with death, and I will punish anyone that kills. Says Good News Translation. Genesis 9 verse 5.
25: Any human who commit murder shall be put to death, says Leviticus 24 verse 17.
25B: A man who blasphemed against God Almighty was brought to him and he told Moses that the Israelites should use stones to kill the man who blasphemed against his name, which they killed him. God also commanded the Israelites there that even they shall personally kill any human among them or a foreigner who blasphemes against his name. (Notice!! In the new testament no human kills another human again) Says, Leviticus 24 verse 10 to 23. The end.
25C: Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted— 20 a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind. I am the Lord your God.” Says Leviticus 24 verse 19 to 23. The end.
26: Apostle John fell down to worship God's Angel who gave him message but the Angel told him (“No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Christ. Worship only God. Says Revelation 19 verse 9 to 10.
27: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked or sinners, who does not follow their advice, example, or standing in their path or sit down to rest in the seat of scoffers. Says Amplified Version Bible. Psalm 1 verse 1.
28: Be holy, for I am holy, says 1 Peter 1 verse 16.

31: Be angry, and sin not. let not the sun go down upon your anger. Says Amplified version bible. Ephesians 4 verse 26.
32: Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ. Says Ephesians 4 verse 32.
33: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Says King James Version bible. Hebrews 13 verse 2.
34: Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are. Says Good News Translation bible. Hebrews 13 verse 3.
34B: Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” 6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas or doctrines. Says Hebrews 13 verse 5 to 9.
35: There is no permanent city for us here on earth, we are looking for the city which is to come. Says Hebrews 13 verse 14.
36: Don't forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God. Says New Living Translation bible. Hebrews 13 verse 16.
37: But to keep me from being puffed up with pride because of the many wonderful things I saw I was given a painful physical ailment which acts as Satan's messenger to beat me and keep me from being proud. Three times I prayed to God about it and asked him to take it away. But his answer was, 'My grace is all you need, my power is greatest when you are weak. I am most happy to be proud of my weaknesses in order to feel the protection of Christ's power over me. I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak then I am strong. Says in Good New Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 12 verse 7 to 10.
38: But God removed Saul & replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do. Says New Living Translation bible or in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Acts 13 verse 22.
39: Notice!! So if David could fail God even your best pastor can also.
40: Bring your tithe, for the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled. Says Deuteronomy 26 verse 12.
41: Pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses. Says, Deuteronomy 14 verse 8.
Notice!! This Deuteronomy chapter 14 talks about animals that we were to eat according to the Old Testament.
41B: Then go to the place where God has chosen to be worshiped and there in his presence eat the tithes of your grain, wine, and olive oil, and the first-born of your cattle and sheep. Says, Deuteronomy 14 verse 23.
Notice!! This proofs that a pastor who tells his followers to give him all the tithe for only himself is a scammer, because God says here that you are to eat part of your tithe before him. Though remember that the tithe that we pay today after Christ according to John 13 verse 34 to 35 and Luke 3 verse 7 to 11 is using all we have to care for others and preaching to them.
42: Notice!! So this is how believers paid their tithe in the New Testament Bible: All the believers were with one mind and shared among themselves all they had with one mind without saying that any of their belonging belong to any of them, and there was no needy person among them. Says in Good News Translation bible in, Acts 4 verse 32 to 35.
Notice!! Please preach these to all pastors, if we do this there would be no hunger in any church who collect from people.
46: False prophet or false dreamer that misleads you, or your brother or your son or your daughter or your wife you love that suggests to you about worshipping another god, you must kill him or her. Be the first to stone him or her without pity or without protecting him or her, and other people must follow you to stone him or her to death. Also, any town that you live among that worship idol you must kill them by stoning, destroy and burn the town completely as a burnt offering to God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Says New Living Translation bible, Deuteronomy chapter 13.
Notice!! You must never personally kill any human in this New Testament anymore, but this is just to show you the Old Testament judgement, which we too shall never wish bad to any human anymore, nor call any human witch anymore.
46B: But any false prophet who claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’ 21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ 22 If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared. Says Deuteronomy 18 verse 20 to 21 the end.
47: By now you should have been teachers, but once again you need to be taught the simplest things about what God has said. You need milk instead of solid food. Says Hebrews 5 verse 12.
47B: There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. 12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teachers to others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. Says Hebrews 5 verse 11 to 14 the end.
Notice!! If you read this Hebrews chapter 5 backwards from Hebrews chapter 3, it says that our 1st pastors were preaching to all the brothers and sisters in Christ about the order of Christ being our new High Priest. So as bible began to have verses from the year 1560s, so Hebrews chapter 3 was the same letter which carried on till Hebrews chapter 5 where they told all the believers that they were supposed to be all teachers but that they were lazy still. So who says that not all are called to be teachers misunderstands Apostle James. Everyone in Christ who studies Christ’s words daily can preach, including you.
47C: God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. 1 Corinthians 12 verse 28 to 31.
47D: Notice: So when anyone quotes James 3 verse 1 that says that not all are called to be preachers, tell him that it was referring to a lazy set of believers, so Paul says in Hebrews chapter 5 that by now that believers are all supposed to be preachers if they were not lazy. Those are why Christ says in John 14:12 that any believer at all can do more than he did. So anyone that reads all Christ’s words daily and practices them can be a preacher, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12 verse 31 that you shall desire the greater gifts, which means you can be above any of those gifts if not lazy, and those are why Christ says in Matthew 21 verse 21 to 22 that if you believe that you can receive anything you ask for. So if you study all his words and pray towards it you too can be a preacher.
47E: People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right. 11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Says James 3 verse 7 to 11.
47F: But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying. 15 For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. 16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. 17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. Says James 3 verse 14 to 17.
48: Jesus replied, “You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 7 It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were my laws. 8 You put aside God's command and obey human teachings. 9 And Jesus continued, “You have a clever way of rejecting God's law in order to uphold your own teaching. Says Christ. Mark 7 verse 6 to 9.
48B: For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother, and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death. 11 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you. 12 In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents. 13 And so you cancel the word of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others.” Says Christ. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Mark 7 verse 10 to 13.
48C: Notice!! Good News Translation Bible says there: (And there are many other things like this that you do)
48D: A woman came to Christ begging him to heal her daughter from evil demonic spirit. Christ told her to go back home, that she will see her daughter healed from the demonic evil witches spirits. She went home and found her child lying on the bed; the demon had indeed gone out of her daughter. Good News Translation Bible and New Living Translation Bible. Mark 7 verse 25 to 30.
48E: Notice!! So, Christ did not tell the woman to kill the child, that the child has demonic witches in her, like some pastors say today, but he healed the child.
49: Bad companions ruin good character. Do not be fooled. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 15 verse 33.
50: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the God's Kingdom, we'll not die, as trumpet sounds the dead will be raised, mortal will put on immortality. Says 1 Corinthians 15 verse 50 to 58.
50B: I am the least of all the apostles, I do not even deserve to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted God's church. I have worked harder than any of the other Apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by his grace. Says Paul. 1 Corinthians 15 verse 9 to 10.
51: Call to me when trouble comes, I will save you. Says Psalm 50 verse 15.
51B: Christ saw a man who was sick for 38 in the pool of Bethesda. He asked him if he would like to walk again, but the man was saying that no one to put him in the pool. Christ did not tell him to jump in the pool to get well, but he told him to stand up and walk that he was healed. Which happened. Says John 5 verse 1 to 9.
52: Christ healed a lame man who was sick for 38 years and told him that he is healed, to stop sinning or something worse may happen to him again. Says John 5 verse 5 to 14.
52B: For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son. Says Christ. John 5 verse 22.
52C: You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. John 5 verse 39 to 40.
53: Do not do your good deeds in public like hypocrites. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. Says Christ. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 6 verse 1 to 4.
53B: Notice!! Good News Translation bible says, do it in such a way that even your closest friend will not know about it.
53C: Our Lord's prayer. Says Christ. In Matthew 6 verse 9 to 13.
54: If you don't forgive others that wronged you God will not forgive you, but if you do God will forgive yours too. Says Matthew 6 verse 14 to 15.
55: Store not your wealth in this world where there are thieves, moths, but in heaven. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also. Jesus says. In Matthew 6 verse 19 to 21.
56: But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is. Says New Living Translation bible. Matthew 6 verse 23.
57: You can't serve two masters. You'll either hate one and love the other, you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and money. Says Christ, in New International Version bible or Good News Translation bible. Matthew 6 verse 24.
57B: (Notice!!! But King James Version bible calls it Mammon)
58: Come to the Lord, the living stone rejected by people but chosen by God as valuable. Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ. Says Good News Translation bible, 1 Peter 2 verse 4 to 5.
Notice!! Concerning just this above you just read, Contemporary English Version bible says, come to Jesus Christ.
59: For you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 2 verse 9.
Notice!! King James Version Bible calls it a holy nation.
59B: Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 2 verse 12.
59C: For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. 22 He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. Says 1 Peter 2 verse 21 to 22.
60: I am writing this to you, my children, so that you will not sin; but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf, Jesus Christ, the righteous one. 2 And Christ himself is the means by which our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also the sins of everyone. 3 If we obey God's commands, then we are sure that we know him. 4 If we say that we know him, but do not obey his commands, we are liars and there is no truth in us. 5 But if we obey his word, we are the ones whose love for God has really been made perfect. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God: 6 if we say that we remain in union with God, we should live just as Jesus Christ did. Says 1 John 2 verse 1 to 6.
60B: Christ is the sacrifice that atones for our sins, and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 John 2 verse 1 to 2.
60C: My dear friends, this command I am writing you is not new; it is the old command, the one you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the message you have already heard. 8 However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ and also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining. 9 If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour. 10 If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin. 11 But if we hate others, we are in the darkness; we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 7 to 11.
60D: If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour. Says 1 John 2 verse 9.
61: Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father. Everything that belongs to the world, what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of—none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world. The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever. Says 1 John 2 verse 15 to 17.
61B: But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you do not need any man to teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 27.
61C: But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.

61E: But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ. Says in Good News Translation Bible and New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 2 verse 27.
62: Don't think you can escape punishment by saying that Abraham is your ancestor. God can make descendants for Abraham with rock. The ax is ready to cut down the trees at the roots; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown in the fire. Says Matthew 3 verse 9 to 10.
62B When John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to be baptized, he said to them, “You snakes—who told you that you could escape from the punishment God is about to send? 8 Do those things that will show that you have turned from your sins. Says Matthew 3 verse 7 to 8.
62C: Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. 2 Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters. 1 Timothy 5 verse 1 to 2.
63: Now a true widow, a woman who is truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God. She prays night and day, asking God for his help. 6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. Says New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 5 verse 5 to 6.
63B: And these things command, that they may be blameless. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Says New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 5 verse 7 to 8.
Notice: New Living Translation Bible says, give these instructions to the church so that no one will be open to criticism. Says 1 Timothy 5 verse 7.
63C: Rebuke publicly all those who commit sins, so that the rest may be afraid. Says 1 Timothy 5 verse 20.

65: When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin. But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that. I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people. It isn’t my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, “You must remove the evil person from among you. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 5 verse 9 to 13 the end.
66: Notice!! It is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning, but King James Version bible calls it fornicator. says 1 Corinthians 5 verse 9 to 13.
55B: Dear friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. 5 But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he’s the one to fear. Says Christ, Luke 12 verse 4 to 5.
67: A man in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the property our father left us.” 14 Jesus answered him, “Friend, who gave me the right to judge or to divide the property between you two?” 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own. Says Christ in New Living Translation bible. Luke 12 verse 13 to 15.
67A: And he went on to say to them all, "Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be. Says Jesus in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 12 verse 15.
68: Then Jesus told them this parable: “There was once a rich man who had land which bore good crops. 17 He began to think to himself, ‘I don't have a place to keep all my crops. What can I do? 18 This is what I will do,’ he told himself; ‘I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, where I will store the grain and all my other goods. 19 Then I will say to myself, Lucky man! You have all the good things you need for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night you will have to give up your life; then who will get all these things you have kept for yourself?’” 21 And Jesus concluded, “This is how it is with those who pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight. Says Luke 12 verse 16 to 21.
69: Then Jesus said to the disciples, “And so I tell you not to worry about the food you need to stay alive or about the clothes you need for your body. 23 Life is much more important than food, and the body much more important than clothes. 24 Look at the crows: they don't plant seeds or gather a harvest; they don't have storage rooms or barns; God feeds them! You are worth so much more than birds! 25 Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? 26 If you can't manage even such a small thing, why worry about the other things? 27 Look how the wild flowers grow: they don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. 28 It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have! 29 “So don't be all upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink. 30 (For the pagans of this world are always concerned about all these things.) Your Father knows that you need these things. 31 Instead, be concerned with his Kingdom, and he will provide you with these things. Says Christ. Luke 12 verse 22 to 31.
70: So, don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. 33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. 34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Says Christ, in New Living Translation bible. Luke 12 verse 32 to 34.
70B: The servant who knows what his master wants him to do, but does not get himself ready and do it, will be punished with a heavy whipping. 48 But the servant who does not know what his master wants, and yet does something for which he deserves a whipping, will be punished with a light whipping. Much is required from the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom much more is given. Says Christ. Luke 12 verse 47 to 48.
71: And when you ask, you do not receive it, because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own pleasures. 4 Unfaithful people! Don't you know that to be the world's friend means to be God's enemy? If you want to be the world's friend, you make yourself God's enemy. Says, James 4 verse 3 to 4.
71B: Submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you. James 4 verse 7.
72: There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, who's able to save & destroy. who are you to judge your neighbor. Says Good News Translation bible. James 4 verse 12.
73: However, the Most High doesn’t live in temples made by human hands. As the prophet says, 49 ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that?’ asks the Lord. ‘Could you build me such a resting place?
50 Didn’t my hands make both heaven and earth? Acts 7 verse 54 to 60.
73B: When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Says King James Version Bible. Acts 7 verse 54 to 60.
74: Don't use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as d way u fix your hair, or the jewelry u put on, or the dresses you wear. Instead your beauty should consist of your true inner self, the ageless beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of the greatest value in God's sight. (Notice!!! King James Version bible calls it Plait). Says Good News Translation bible. 1 Peter 3 verse 3 to 4.
75: Husbands honor your wives. Treat her with understanding. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered. Says 1 Peter 3 verse 7.
76: To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another. 9 Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised to give you when he called you. 10 As the scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep from speaking evil and stop telling lies. 11 You must turn away from evil and do good; you must strive for peace with all your heart. 12 For the Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers; but he opposes those who do evil. Says Good News Translation bible. 1 Peter 3 verse 8 to 12.
77: Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. 10 For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies. 11 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. 12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil. Says New Living Translation bible. 1 Peter 3 verse 8 to 12.
77B: The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil. Says 1 Peter 3 verse 12.
78: And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 1.
78B: Don’t be like the people of this world, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know how to do everything that is good and pleasing to him. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 2.
79: Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. Says Good News Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 2.
80: Do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest in your thinking, and judge yourself according to the amount of faith that God has given you. 4 We have many parts in the one body, and all these parts have different functions. 5 In the same way, though we are many, we are one body in union with Christ, and we are all joined to each other as different parts of one body. 6 So we are to use our different gifts in accordance with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is to speak God's message, we should do it according to the faith that we have; 7 if it is to serve, we should serve; if it is to teach, we should teach; 8 if it is to encourage others, we should do so. Whoever shares with others should do it generously; whoever has authority should work hard; whoever shows kindness to others should do it cheerfully. 9 Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good. 10 Love one another warmly as Christians, and be eager to show respect for one another. Says Good News Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 3 to 10.
80A: When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. Says New Living Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 13.
80B: Share your belongings with your needy fellow Christians, and open your homes to strangers. Says Good News Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 13.
80C: Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 14 to 16.
80D: Have the same concern for everyone. Do not be proud, but accept humble duties. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 12 verse 16.

80F: Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Says New Living Translation bible. Romans 12 verse 18.
80G: Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Says Good News Translation Bible. Romans 12 verse 19.
80H: Instead, as the scripture says: “If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing this you will make them burn with shame. Says Romans 12 verse 20.
80J: Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good. Says Romans 12 verse 21.
81: An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them should be thought of as the greatest. 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the pagans have power over their people, and the rulers claim the title ‘Friends of the People.’ 26 But this is not the way it is with you; rather, the greatest one among you must be like the youngest, and the leader must be like the servant. 27 Who is greater, the one who sits down to eat or the one who serves? The one who sits down, of course. But I am among you as one who serves. Says Christ. Luke 22 verse 24 to 27.
82: Do not plant two kinds of seed in the same field. Do not wear clothes made of two kinds of material. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Leviticus 19 verse 19.
Notice!! Concerning the clothes, King James Version Bible calls it, linen and woollen garments.
82B: Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head or trim your beard. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Leviticus 19 verse 27.
(Notice!! Concerning this you just did read, New International Version Bible Translation says clip off the edges of your beard, Amplified Version Bible Translation says mar) So these are to show us what are in the Old Testament Bible. So who does were clothes of two different martials or who cuts hair style and trims his bears, to avoid hell fire he or she should also know that (Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live prayer) is only written in the Old Testament Bible Exodus 22 verse 18, it is not written in the New Testament Bible. So we can not use it to condemn any human sinner in the New Testament today again. No witch can kill the souls of the pure Christ’s followers proves Christ in Luke 10 verse 19, and in Luke 6 verse 46 to 49. But even if their flesh are killed know that God Almighty wants to take their souls to heaven just like Stephen who was killed by humans, and he made heaven.
83: Do not follow the majority when they do wrong or when they give testimony that perverts justice. Says Good News Translation bible. Exodus 23 verse 2.
84: This was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from death. 15 After breakfast Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these? “Yes, Lord,” Peter replied, “you know I love you.” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus told him. 16 Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said. 17 A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep. (Notice!! Good News Translation bible says Take care of my sheep). Says Christ. John 21 verse 14 to 17.
84B: Now, there are many other things that Jesus did. If they were all written down one by one, I suppose that the whole world could not hold the books that would be written. Says John 21 verse 25.
85: Don't think that God's weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help, it is because of your sins that he doesn't hear you, it separates you from him. Says Isaiah 59 verse 1 to the end.
86: Evil spirit that was living inside a man called Legion saw Jesus and recognized him & called his name asked him what do you want from me!! He begged that Jesus drives him inside pigs which did. The man became well after Jesus drove out the demonic spirit. Says Mark 5 verse 1 to 20.
87: The daily food requirements for Solomon’s palace were 150 bushels of flour and 300 bushels of meal, also cows fat oxen all together, 100 sheep or goats. As well as other animals like deer, gazelles and fowls. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Kings 4 verse 22 to 23.
88: NOTICE: If you convert 150 bushels of flour into KG it gives five thousand Kilograms of flour, and 300 bushels of meal gives ten thousand kilograms of food meals.
89: I have seen everything done in this world, and I tell you, it is all useless. It is like chasing the wind (Solomon says). In Good News Translation bible. Ecclesiastes 1 verse 14.
89B: What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1 verse 9.
90: Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas were also killed in a war between the Israelites and the Philistines who also killed thirty thousand Israeli armies the same day and took the Ark of God. When the messenger told Eli the priest what happened, Eli fell backward from his seat and broke his neck and died. Eli’s daughter-in-law the wife of Phinehas who was pregnant heard all that happened, and due to that she went into early child delivery labor and died. She named her baby son Ekabod (which means “Where is the glory?”) Then she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the Ark of God has been captured. Says, 1 Samuel 4 verse 1 to 22, the end.
90B: I did say that your house and of Aaron shall be priest forever, but now no more. I will honor those who honor me, and despise those who despise me. Says Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Samuel 2 verse 30.
90C: The Lord gives both death and life; he brings some down to the grave but raises others up, Says 1 Samuel 2 verse 6.
90D: Now the sons of Eli were worthless men who had no respect for God and they also had no respect for their duties as priests. They would send servants to use pronged fork to deep into the meat sacrifice being offered to God to get any meat that comes out for them. All the offerings of the Israelites who came to Shiloh were treated this way. Sometimes the servants they send will demand raw meat that is being offered to God to be given to Eli’s sons for their personal use. Sometimes who is offering the meat will tell them allow the fat to be burned then you will take the other ones as you want, but the servants will say, no, give it to me now or we will take it by force. This sin of the sons of Eli was extremely serious in God's sight, because they treated the offerings to the Lord with such disrespect. Now Eli was very old, and he knew the evil his sons were doing to the people of Israel and how they were sleeping with the young women who assisted at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Eli warned his sons to stop the evil they were doing but they refused to stop, for God had decided to kill them. A prophet prophesied to Eli that God gave Aaron his ancestor order to have some parts of the offering, but that why did he not seriously warn his children to stop being greedy from the portion of God’s sacrifices? He also asked Eli, do you honor your children more than God by letting them eat and get fat from God’s portion of sacrifices? 30 Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ‘I did indeed say that your house and that of Aaron your father would walk in priestly service before Me forever.’ But now the Lord declares, ‘Far be it from Me, for those who honor Me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disgraced. 31 He told Eli that God will put an end to his family, so it will no longer serve as his priests. That all the members of his family will die before their time. None will reach old age. 33 Yet I will keep one of your descendants alive, and he will serve me as priest, but he will become blind and lose all hope, and all your other descendants will die a violent death. I will cause your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, to die on the same day! 35 I will choose a priest who will be faithful to me and do everything I want him to do, and your surviving families will go to that priest and beg for food to satisfy their hunger, and they will beg to do some job among the priests to be able to get something to eat. Says 1 Samuel 2 verse 12 to 36, the end.
91: Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Says 2 Timothy 3 verse 12.
91B: In the last days people will love only themselves and money, they will be unloving and unforgiving, hey will slander others and have no self-control, they will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. (Notice!! This is just a brief) Says 2 Timothy chapter 3.
92: Eyes have not seen, ear has not heard, heart of man has not imagined who God has prepared for his lovers. Says 1 Corinthians 2 verse 9.
92B: I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. Says New Living Translation bible. 1 Corinthians 2 verse 4 to 5.
92C: I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. 6 Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten. 7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God, his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. 8 But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. 9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepare for those who love him. 10 But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. 12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. 11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 13 When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths. 14 But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. 15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. 16 For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him? But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. Says 1 Corinthians 2 verse 1 to 16 the end.
93: You must not be called ‘Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. 9 And you must not call anyone here on earth ‘Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. 10 Nor should you be called ‘Leader,’ because your one and only leader is the Messiah. 11 The greatest one among you must be your servant. 12 Whoever makes himself great will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be made great. Says Christ. Matthew 23 verse 8 to 12.
94: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 23 verse 14.
95: What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 13.
96: What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 15.
97: What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 23.
98: 25 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! 26 You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too. 27 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. 28 Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness. Says Christ. New Living Translation bible. Matthew 23 verse 25 to 28.
99: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Paul says. Philippians 1 verse 21.
100: It is a hard choice to make. I want to die and be with Christ, because that would be much better. Paul says. Philippians 1 verse 23.
101: False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines, and will deny the Master who redeemed them, and so they will bring upon themselves sudden destruction. 2 Even so, many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the Way of truth. 3 In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake. Says 2 Peter 2 verse 1 to 3.
102: God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell fire, where they are kept chained in darkness, waiting for the Day of Judgment. Says 2 Peter 2 verse 4.
102B: For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly. Says King James Version Bible. 2 Peter 2 verse 4 to 5.
103: It would have been much better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and then turn away from the sacred command that was given them. Says 2 Peter 2 verse 21.
104: Fake Prophets would be fed bitterness of wormwood, and be given poisonous water of gall to drink, leading you into futility, speak vision of their mind & imagination. Says Amplified Version Bible. Jeremiah 23 verse 15 to 40.
105: Go to the lost sheep of the people of Israel. 7 Go and preach, ‘The Kingdom of heaven is near!’ 8 Heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, heal those who suffer from dreaded skin diseases, and drive out demons. You have received without paying, so give without being paid. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 6 to 8.
105B: You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 22.
106: Fear not those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, rather be afraid of God, who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 28.
106B: And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When you are persecuted in one town, run away to another one. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 22 to 23.
107: Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword. 35 ‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 Your enemies will be right in your own household!’ Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 34 to 36.
Notice!! As Christ says that, don’t imagine that he came to bring peace, he mainly means that his messages will make families or people to disagree with his followers and even fight them and hate them, due to Satan in those who fight his followers which makes them to hate the true messages of Christ. Those are why Christ tells us in the verse 23 of the same Matthew 10, that if they fight us in one town run to another. So, Christ does not mean that we shall be revenging on sinners whom he died for. Christ’s only enemy is Satan who enters into people to sin, but not people themselves.
108: If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. 38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. 39 If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Says Christ. Matthew 10 verse 37 to 42. The end.
110: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 5 verse 1 to 2.
111: Appeal to the church elders among you. I am a witness of Christ's sufferings, and I will share in the glory that will be revealed. I appeal to you 2 to be shepherds of the flock that God gave you and to take care of it willingly, as God wants you to, and not unwillingly. Do your work, not for mere pay, but from a real desire to serve. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Peter 5 verse 1 to 2.
112: Don’t be bossy to those people who are in your care, but set an example for them. Then when Christ the Chief Shepherd returns, you will be given a crown that will never lose its glory. All of you young people should obey your elders. In fact, everyone should be humble toward everyone else. The Scriptures say, “God opposes proud people, but he helps everyone who is humble.” Be humble in the presence of God’s mighty power, and he will honor you when the time comes. Says Contemporary English Version Bible. 1 Peter 5 verse 3 to 6.
113: Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ. I praise you for holding the tradition I pass to you. Paul spoke to church. (Notice!! Down of this speaks of covering hair). 1 Corinthians 11 verse 1 to 2.
114: For in death there is no remembrance of thee, in the grave who shall give thee thanks. Says Psalm 6 verse 5.
115: For the living know that they shall die. Says Ecclesiastes 9 verse 5.
115B: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 1 to 2.
116: For you died to this world, and your new real life is hidden with Christ in God. Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 3.
116B: You must put to death the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry). Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 5.
117: Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Says New Living Translation Bible. Colossians 3 verse 14.
117B: Love is more important than anything else. It is what ties everything completely together. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Colossians 3 verse 14.
118: From Christ's sacrificial death he freed us from our sins and made us a kingdom of priests to serve his God & Father. Says Revelation 1 verse 5 to 6.
119: The righteous man perishes [at the hand of evil], and no one takes it to heart; Faithful and devout men are taken away, while no one understands
That the righteous person is taken away [to be spared] from disaster and evil. He enters into peace through death. They rest in their beds graves. Each one who walked uprightly following God’s will, living with integrity. Says Amplified Version Bible. Isaiah 57 verse 1 to 2.
120: Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die. Says New Living Translation Bible. Isaiah 57 verse 1 to 2.
121: Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed. Says Christ. Mark 16 verse 15 to 18.
122: Notice!!! This verse 17 of Mark Chapter 16 I just read above means all of us can do it.
122B: After Jesus rose from the dead early on Sunday morning, the first person who saw him was Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons. Says, Mark 16 verse 9.
123: But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 8 verse 6.
124: Notice!! So, one who knows his right in Christ does not necessarily need a pastor as his mediator.
124B: The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. 2 If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. 3 But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year. 4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 That is why, when Christ came into the world, he said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer. 6 You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin. 7 Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God— as is written about me in the Scriptures.’” 8 First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). 9 Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. 10 For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time. 11 Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 12 But Christ our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time forever. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy. 18 So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed. 19 We have, then, my friends, complete freedom to go into the Most Holy Place by means of the death of Jesus. 20 He opened for us a new way, a living way, through the curtain, that is, through his own body into the Most Holy Place. Hebrews 10 verse 1 to 20.
125: So, God does away with all the old sacrifices and puts the sacrifice of Christ in their place. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 10 verse 9.
125B: Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 10 verse 9.
126: Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. Says Hebrews 10 verse 26.
127: Great crowd followed Christ as he was going. He made them to sit down under grasses. Him & his Apostles sought for food to feed them & sought for two fish and five loaves of bread they got from a boy & shared them with the people. Says John 6 verse 1 to 15.
128: After Christ fed the 5,000 they wanted to make him king by force for what he did, and he noticed and escaped. Says John 6 verse 15.
129: They found him on the other side of the lake and asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs. 27 But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.” Says John 6 verse 25 to 27.
129: So they asked him, “What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?” 29 Jesus answered, “What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent. John 6 verse 28 to 29.
130: Notice!!! If Christ never showed the people love by feeding them first he may not have got them to preach to them.
131: Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me, Christ says. John 6 verse 37.
132: I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh. Says Christ. John 6 verse 47 to 51.
132B: Many of Christ's disciples felt that his message was too hard for them and left him. He turned to the twelve Apostles and asked them if they want to go too. Then Christ said, “That is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me. He told them that one of them being Judas will betray him. Says, John 6 verse 60 to 70.
133: That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. Says New Living Translation Bible. Acts 17 verse 10 to 11.
134: He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25 and human hands can’t serve his needs, for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. Says New Living Translation Bible. Acts 17 verse 24 to 25.
135: From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. Says New Living Translation Bible. Acts 17 verse 26.
136: God can send a bad ruler to punish his people who sin like he used King Nebuchadnezzar and calls him his servant to punish Judah. Says Amplified Version Bible. Jeremiah 25 verse 9.
137: God says to his people, When you became slaves no money was paid for you, in the same way nothing will be paid to set you free. Says Isaiah 52 verse 3.
138: He who thinks he stands firm be careful, take heed lest you fall. Says 1 Corinthians 10 verse 12.
139: All your temptations do normally come to everyone. He'll not let you be tempted beyond your ability, he'll give you the way of escape. Says 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13.
140 Melchizedek was both king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He was the one who went out and gave Abraham his blessing, when Abraham returned from killing the kings. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 7 verse 1.
Notice!! King James Version Bible calls it slaughter of the kings. This is to show wars that happened in the Old Testament Bible, which we don’t do again due to Christ. Abraham fought who captured Lot which is also referenced in Genesis 14 verse 17.
140B: Now the law of Moses required that the priests, who are descendants of Levi, must collect a tithe from the rest of the people of Israel, who are also descendants of Abraham. 8 The priests who collect tithes are men who die. Says Hebrews 7 verse 5 to 8.
140C: If the priesthood is changed the law must also be changed to permit it. 18 Old priesthood was set aside due to its weakness, Christ is forever High Priest without sin. 20 This new system was established with a solemn oath. Aaron’s descendants became priests without such an oath, 21 but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him, “The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: ‘You are a priest forever.’” 22 Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God. 22 Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God. 28 The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 7 verse 11 to 28, the end.
140D: For, on the one hand, a former commandment is cancelled because of its weakness and uselessness, because of its inability to justify the sinner before God. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 7 verse 18.
140E: The Law of Moses appoints men who are imperfect to be high priests; but God's promise made with the vow, which came later than the Law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 7 verse 28.
141: The whole point of what we are saying is that we have such a High Priest, who sits at the right of the throne of the Divine Majesty in heaven. 2 He serves as high priest in the heavenly Tabernacle, that is, in the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. 3 Every high priest is appointed to present offerings and animal sacrifices to God, and so our High Priest must also have something to offer. 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer the gifts required by the Jewish Law. 5 The work they do as priests is really only a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven. 6 But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. Says in New Living Translation Bible and Good News Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 1 to 6.
141B: Now Jesus our High Priest has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood. He mediates for us for better covenant. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 verse 6.
141C: 7 If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second covenant to replace it. 8 But when God found fault with the people, he said: 9 This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. They did not remain faithful to my covenant, so I turned my back on them, says the Lord. 10 But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives saying, ‘You should know the Lord.’ For everyone, from the least to the greatest will know me already. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 verse 7 to 11.
141D: By God speaking of a “new” covenant, it means he has made the first one obsolete. It is now out of date and will soon disappear. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 8 verse 13, the end.
142: That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 1.
(Notice!! Reading down explains it all)
143: 2 A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God. 3 Behind the second curtain was the tent called the Most Holy Place. 4 In it were the gold altar for the burning of incense and the Covenant Box all covered with gold and containing the gold jar with the manna in it, Aaron's stick that had sprouted leaves, and the two stone tablets with the commandments written on them. 5 Above the Box were the winged creatures representing God's presence, with their wings spread over the place where sins were forgiven. 6 This is how those things have been arranged. The priests go into the outer tent every day to perform their duties, 7 but only the high priest goes into the inner tent, and he does so only once a year. He takes with him blood which he offers to God on behalf of himself and for the sins which the people have committed without knowing they were sinning. 9 This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper's heart perfect. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 2 to 9. Hebrews 9 verse 2 to 9.
144: since they have to do only with food, drink, and various purification ceremonies. These are all outward rules, which apply only until the time when God will establish the new order. 11 But Christ has already come as the High Priest of the good things that are already here. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. 12 When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, he did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, he took his own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us. Says in Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 10 to 12.
145: So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. Hebrews 9 verse 11.
146: Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer could cleanse people’s bodies from ceremonial impurity. 14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 13 to 14.
147: And for this reason, Christ is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 15.
148: For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in effect. 16 In the case of a will it is necessary to prove that the person who made a will has died, 17 for a will means nothing while the person who made it is still alive; it goes into effect only after the person who made it is dead. Says in Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 15 to 17.
149: In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 22.
150: That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals. 24 For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf. 25 And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place year after year with the blood of an animal. 26 If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 9 verse 23 to 26.
150B: And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, Says Hebrews 9 verse 27.
150C: So also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Says Hebrews 9 verse 28, the end.
150D: By these regulations the Holy Spirit revealed that the entrance to the Most Holy Place was not freely open as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning. Says in New Living Translation Bible and New International Version Bible for the best explanation. Hebrews 9 verse 8.
151: Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum? When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Christ says. Matthew 9 verse 10 to 13.
151B: Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Says, Matthew 9 verse 35 to 38 the end.
152: Jesus went back again to the shore of Lake Galilee (by the sea side). A crowd came to him, and he started teaching them. 14 As he walked along, he saw a tax collector, Levi son of Alphaeus, sitting in his office. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up and followed him. Mark 2 verse 13 to 14.
152B: Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) 16 But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?17 Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus’ followers.) 16 But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum? 17 When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners. Says Christ. Mark 2 verse 15 to 17.
152B: When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers ! 2 Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? 3 Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. 4 If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church? 5 I am saying this to shame you. Isn’t there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues? 6 But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers! 7 Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your fellow believers. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 1 to 8.
153: Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts 10 or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves—none of these will possess God's Kingdom. 11 Some of you were like that. But you have been purified from sin; you have been dedicated to God; you have been put right with God by the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. Says New Living Translation Bible or Good News Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 9 to 11.
154: Run away from sexual immorality in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body. Says Amplified Version Bible. 1 Corinthians 6 verse 18.
155: (Notice!! Greek bible calls it porneian, prostitution. Oxford Dictionary also explains it as 'The unworthy or corrupt use of one's talents for personal or financial gain.
156: Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God. Says 1 Corinthians 6 verse 19.
157: he bought you for a price. So, use your bodies for God's glory. Says 1 Corinthians 6 verse 20. The end.
158: Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together? 15 How can Christ and the Devil agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 How can God's temple come to terms with pagan idols? For we are the temple of the living God! As God himself has said, “I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” 17 And so the Lord says, “You must leave them and separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with what is unclean, and I will accept you. 18 I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. Says 2 Corinthians 6 verse 14 to 18 the end.
159: The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins. Says 2 Peter 3 verse 9.
160: But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that Day the heavens will disappear with a terrible noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth with everything in it will vanish. 11 Since all these things will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people should you be? Your lives should be holy and dedicated to God, 12 as you wait for the Day of God and do your best to make it come soon—the Day when the heavens will burn up and be destroyed, and the heavenly bodies will be melted by the heat. 13 But we wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home. 14 And so, my friends, as you wait for that Day, do your best to be pure and faultless in God's sight and to be at peace with him. Says New Living Translation Bible. 2 Peter 3 verse 10 to 14.
160B: 13 But we wait for what God has promised: new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness will be at home. Says 2 Peter 3 verse 13.
161: Look on our Lord's patience as the opportunity he is giving you to be saved, just as our dear friend Paul wrote to you, using the wisdom that God gave him. 16 This is what he says in all his letters when he writes on the subject. There are some difficult things in his letters which ignorant and unstable people explain falsely, as they do with other passages of the Scriptures. So they bring on their own destruction. 17 But you, my friends, already know this. Be on your guard, then, so that you will not be led away by the errors of lawless people and fall from your safe position. 18 But continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, now and forever! Amen. Says 2 Peter 3 verse 15 to 18. The end.
161B: What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That’s why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 9 verse 18.
162: I am nobody's slave, but I make myself everybody's slave in order to win as many as possible for Christ. Says 1 Corinthians 9 verse 19.
162B: When I was with the Jews, I lived like a Jew to bring the Jews to Christ. When I was with those who follow the Jewish law, I too lived under that law. Even though I am not subject to the law, I did this so I could bring to Christ those who are under the law. 21 When I am with the Gentiles who do not follow the Jewish law, I too live apart from that law so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not ignore the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. 22 When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. 23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. Says 1 Corinthians 9 verse 20-23.
162C: I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. Says Paul, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 9 verse 27, the end.
164: I give you a new commandment, love one another with unselfish concern as I've loved you, so everyone will know that you are my disciples. Jesus says. Amplified Version Bible. John 13 verse 34 to 35.
165: My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. Says in New International Version Bible for the best explanation. James 2 verse 1.
165B: Never you treat people differently according to their outward appearance. Suppose a rich man wearing a gold ring and fine clothes comes to your meeting, and a poor man in ragged clothes also comes if you show more respect to the well-dressed man and say to him, have this best seat here but say to the poor man stand over there or sit here on the floor by my feet then you are guilty of creating distinctions among yourselves and of making judgments based on evil motives. 5 Listen, God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him. You Will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, (Love your neighbor as u love yourself). If you treat people according to their outward appearance, you are guilty of sin, and the Law condemns you as a lawbreaker. Says Good News Translation Bible. James 2 verse 1 to 9.
166: Listen, my dear friends, God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him. Says James 2 verse 5.
168: Whoever breaks one commandment is guilty of breaking them all. Says James 2 verse 10.
Notice!!! (Whoever breaks one commandment broke them all) does not mean that we can continue in sin, because Christ says in Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23 that even his followers who do not live righteously shall never make heaven. So this also mainly means that we had once sinned before.
168B: God will not show mercy when he judges the person who has not been merciful; but mercy triumphs over judgement. Says James 2 verse 13.
169: Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. 16 What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!”—if you don't give them the necessities of life? 17 So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. Says James 2 verse 15 to 17.
170: Do you believe that there is only one God Good! The demons also believe and tremble with fear. Says James 2 verse 19.
171: it is by our actions that we are put right with God, and not by our faith alone. Says James 2 verse 24.
172: It was the same with the prostitute Rahab. She was put right with God through her actions, by welcoming the Israelite spies and helping them to escape by a different road. 26 So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead. Says James 2 verse 25 to 26.
173: Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me. Says Christ. Luke 11 verse 23.
173B: When an evil spirit goes out of a person, it travels over dry country looking for a place to rest. If it can't find one, it says to itself, ‘I will go back to my house.’ 25 So it goes back and finds the house clean and all fixed up. 26 Then it goes out and brings seven other spirits even worse than itself, and they come and live there. So when it is all over, that person is in worse shape than at the beginning. Says Christ. Luke 11 verse 24 to 26.
174: As the crowd pressed in on Jesus, he said, “This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah. 30 What happened to him was a sign to the people of Nineveh that God had sent him. What happens to the Son of Man will be a sign to these people that he was sent by God. Says Christ. Luke 11 verse 29 to 30.
174B: We say this because we have confidence in God through Christ. 5 There is nothing in us that allows us to claim that we are capable of doing this work. The capacity we have comes from God. Says Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 4 to 5.
174C: He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 6.
175: The Law was carved in letters on stone tablets, and God's glory appeared when it was given. Even though the brightness on Moses' face was fading, it was so strong that the people of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed on him. If the Law, which brings death when it is in force, came with such glory, 8 how much greater is the glory that belongs to the activity of the Spirit! 9 The system which brings condemnation was glorious; how much more glorious is the activity which brings salvation! 10 We may say that because of the far brighter glory now the glory that was so bright in the past is gone. 11 For if there was glory in that which lasted for a while, how much more glory is there in that which lasts forever! 12 Because we have this hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who had to put a veil over his face so that the people of Israel would not see the brightness fade and disappear. 14 Their minds, indeed, were closed; and to this very day their minds are covered with the same veil as they read the books of the old covenant. The veil is removed only when a person is joined to Christ. 15 Even today, whenever they read the Law of Moses, the veil still covers their minds. 16 But it can be removed, as the scripture says about Moses: “His veil was removed when he turned to the Lord.” 17 Now, “the Lord” in this passage is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom. 18 All of us, then, reflect the glory of the Lord with uncovered faces; and that same glory, coming from the Lord, who is the Spirit, transforms us into his likeness in an ever greater degree of glory. Says Good News Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 7 to 18.
175C: The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away.8 Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? 9 If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! 10 In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. 11 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! 12 Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. 14 But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 15 Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. Says New Living Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 3 verse 7 to 18.
176: Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. Notice!! Paul says. 1 Corinthians 11 verse 1.
177: I am so glad that you always keep me in your thoughts, and that you are following the teachings I passed on to you. Notice!! Says Paul. 1 Corinthians 11 verse 2.
177B: Be anxious for nothing, or don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4 verse 7.
178: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Says Paul. Good New Translation Bible or King James Version Bible. Philippians 4 verse 13.
179: Paul thanked a church for support they gave him and he told them that their gift were more than enough and gave them the receipt. Says in Good New Translation Bible for the best explanation. Philippians 4 verse 14 to 23, the end.
180: If God had not shortened the days, no human would have been saved, but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose for Himself, he shortened the days. Says Christ. Mark 13 verse 20.
181: Can any mortal be pure? Can anyone born of a woman be just? Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight. How much less pure is a corrupt and sinful person with a thirst for wickedness!. Says Job 15 verse 14 to 16.
182: If my people shall humbly pray, seek my face, turn from their evil I will hear and forgive them and heal their land. Says King James Version Bible or New King James Version Bible. 2 Chronicles 7 verse 14.
183: “No!” David said. “Don’t kill him. For who can remain innocent after attacking the Lord’s anointed one? 10 Surely the Lord will strike Saul down someday, or he will die of old age or in battle. 11 The Lord forbid that I should kill the one he has anointed! But take his spear and that jug of water beside his head, and then let’s get out of here!” 12 So David took the spear and jug of water that were near Saul’s head. Then he and Abishai got away without anyone seeing them or even waking up, because the Lord had put Saul’s men into a deep sleep. 1 Samuel 26 verse 9 to 12.
Notice!!! This also teaches, if God is with you, he can put your enemies who come to attack you to sleep.
183B: God's Angel appeared to Zechariah as he was boning incense in the temple as a Jewish priest, and told him that his wife Elizabeth will bear a son, that he will be great in God's eye, that he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before his birth, that he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God, that he will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah, and that Zechariah will have great joy and gladness with many that will rejoice at his birth. As John The Baptist the baby was born, Zechariah prophesied that John is a mighty son sent by God from the royal line of King David. John grew up and became strong in spirit. And he lived in the wilderness until he began his public ministry to the Israel. Says Luke chapter 1.
Notice: This teaches, if John who was great before God could live in the wilderness as a poor man and Matthew 3 verse 4 says that he wore Carmel skin as cloth with locusts and wild honey as food, so one can be a great godly man and still live poor.
184: At this time a message from God came to John son of Zechariah, who was living in the wilderness. Luke 3 verse 4.
184B: When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee the coming wrath? 8 Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. 9 Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.” 10 The crowds asked, “What should we do?” 11 John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.” Say John The Baptist. Luke 3 verse 7 to 11.
185: You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled. Says in New King James version and King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Deuteronomy 22 verse 9.
185B: You must not wear clothing made of wool and linen woven together. Deuteronomy 22 verse 11.
Notice!! These above two show us what were being practiced in the Old Testament.
186: Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. Says New King James Version Bible. Proverbs 21 verse 2.
187: If you refuse to listen to the cry of the poor, your own cry for help will not be heard. Says Proverbs 21 verse 13.
188: Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need. Says New Living Translation Bible. Proverbs 21 verse 13.
188B: Human wisdom, brilliance, insight—they are of no help if the Lord is against you. Says Proverbs 21 verse 30.
188C: You can get horses ready for battle, but it is the Lord who gives victory. Says Proverbs 21 verse 31.
189: If you see a fellow believer sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 17 All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death. Says 1 John 5 verse 16 to 17.
190: Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors—for they will invite you back, and in this way you will be paid for what you did. 13 When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind; 14 and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death. Says Christ. Luke 14 verse 12 to 14.
191: Those who come to me cannot be my disciples unless they love me more than they love father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and themselves as well. 27 Those who do not carry their own cross and come after me cannot be my disciples. 28 If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job. 29 If you don't, you will not be able to finish the tower after laying the foundation; and all who see what happened will make fun of you. 30 ‘You began to build but can't finish the job!’ they will say. 31 If a king goes out with ten thousand men to fight another king who comes against him with twenty thousand men, he will sit down first and decide if he is strong enough to face that other king. 32 If he isn't, he will send messengers to meet the other king to ask for terms of peace while he is still a long way off. 33 In the same way,” concluded Jesus, “none of you can be my disciple unless you give up everything you have. 34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. 35 It is no good for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Listen, then, if you have ears!” Says Christ, in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 14 verse 26 to 35. the end.
Notice!!! In King James Version bible and some other bible versions they are written in this Luke 14 verse 26 that Christ says that if you do not hate your family for his sake that you cannot be his disciple. But Christ means there, one loving him more than his family. So, Christ does not mean that one should hate his family, as in normal hating like wishing someone bad and etcetera.
192: If a man is eager to be a church leader, he desires an excellent work. 2 A church leader must be without fault; he must have only one wife, be sober, self-controlled, and orderly; he must welcome strangers in his home; he must be able to teach; 3 he must not be a drunkard or a violent man, but gentle and peaceful; he must not love money; 4 he must be able to manage his own family well and make his children obey him with all respect. 5 For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of the church of God? 6 He must be mature in the faith, so that he will not swell up with pride and be condemned, as the Devil was. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 3 verse 1 to 6.
193: I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up here in Jerusalem as a student of Gamaliel. I received strict instruction in the Law of our ancestors and was just as dedicated to God as are all of you who are here today. 4 I persecuted to the death the people who followed this Way. I arrested men and women and threw them into prison. 5 The High Priest and the whole Council can prove that I am telling the truth. I received from them letters written to fellow Jews in Damascus, so I went there to arrest these people and bring them back in chains to Jerusalem to be punished. Paul says. Good News Translation Bible. Acts 22 verse 2 to 5.
194: And when your witness Stephen was put to death, I myself was there, approving of his murder and taking care of the cloaks of his murderers. Paul says. Acts 22 verse 20.
195: I have never refused to help the poor; never have I let widows live in despair or let orphans go hungry while I ate. All my life I have taken care of them. When I found someone in need, too poor to buy clothes, I would give him clothing made of wool that had come from my own flock of sheep. Then he would praise me with all his heart. If I have ever cheated an orphan, knowing I could win in court, then may my arms be broken; may they be torn from my shoulders. Because I fear God's punishment, I could never do such a thing. I have never trusted in riches or taken pride in my wealth. Job 31 verse 16 to 25.
196: Notice!! Job lamented these to God, which are why God found him righteous. So, what of us?
197: So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. 2 You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. 3 You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols. 4 Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. 5 But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead. 6 That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, so although they were destined to die like all people, they now live forever with God in the Spirit. 7 The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. 8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. 10 God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Peter 4 verse 1 to 10.
198: My dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful test you are suffering, as though something unusual were happening to you. 13 Rather be glad that you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may be full of joy when his glory is revealed. 14 Happy are you if you are insulted because you are Christ's followers; this means that the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is resting on you. 15 If you suffer, it must not be because you are a murderer or a thief or a criminal or a meddler in other people's affairs. 16 However, if you suffer because you are a Christian, don't be ashamed of it, but thank God that you bear Christ's name. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Peter 4 verse 12 to 16.
198B: For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? New Living Translation Bible. 1 Peter 4 verse 17.
199: Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. Says Hebrews 1 verse 1 to 2.
Notice!! Amplified bible Says it that God has spoken to us through Jesus.
201: So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 John 1 verse 6.
202: If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts. Says 1 John 1 verse 6 to 10.
203: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. John 10 verse 11 to 16.
204: I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me. Says Christ. John 10 verse 14.
204B: The Father and I are one. Says Christ. John 10 verse 30.
204C: Jesus answered, “It is written in your own Law that God said, ‘You are gods.’ 35 We know that what the scripture says is true forever; and God called those people gods, the people to whom his message was given. Says Christ. John 10 verse 34 to 35.
205: Jesus made himself poor for your sake, in order to make you rich by means of his poverty, though he was rich. 2 Corinthians 8 verse 9.
205B: Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you do not have. 13 Of course, I don’t mean your giving should make life easy for others and hard for yourselves. I only mean that there should be some equality. 2 Corinthians 8 verse 12 to 13.
206: As you have plenty help those who are in need. Then, when you are in need and they have plenty they will help you. In this way both are treated equally. Says Good News Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 8 verse 14.
206B: And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” 10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God. 12 So two good things will result from this ministry of giving the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. 13 As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 9 verse 8 to 12.
206C: And because of the proof which this service of yours brings, many will give glory to God for your loyalty to the gospel of Christ, which you profess, and for your generosity in sharing with them and everyone else. Says in Good News Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 9 verse 9 to 13.
207: About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance.” His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness? Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have? Seven loaves,” they replied. So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd. A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus also blessed these and told the disciples to distribute them. They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food. There were about four thousand men in the crowd that day, and Jesus sent them home after they had eaten. Says Christ. Mark 8 verse 1 to 9.
208: Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. Christ said. Luke 23 verse 34.
208B: The scenario of Christ and the two criminals is found in, Luke 23 from verse 39 down.
209:19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores. Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and he went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side. The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’ But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there. Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment. But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote. The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God. But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead. Said by Jesus. Luke 16 verse 19 to 31, the end.
209B: And he said unto them, you are the ones who justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Said Jesus, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 16 verse 15.
210: People who came to kill the adulterous woman told Christ that they caught her in adultery and that the law of Moses says that such woman should be killed. But Christ told them there that who among them that had not sinned before, let him be the first to stone the woman to death. As they heard this, they all left the woman. Christ asked the woman, where are your accusers? She said they were gone, and Christ told her that him too did not condemn her, that she should go and sin no more. Says Christ. John 8 verse 4 to 11.
210B: Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. John 8 verse 34.
210C: So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. John 8 verse 36.
211: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Christ told who were judging him for healing on the Sabbath as they to circumcise that day too. Says Christ. John 7 verse 24.
212: I am surprised at you! In no time at all you are deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ, and are accepting another gospel. 7 Actually, there is no “other gospel,” but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell. Says Paul. Galatians 1 verse 6 to 8.
213: We have said it before, and now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different from the one you accepted, may he be condemned to hell! 10 Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God's approval! Am I trying to be popular with people? If I were still trying to do so, I would not be a servant of Christ. Says Paul. Galatians 1 verse 9 to 10.
213B: Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. 12 I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ. 13 You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God’s church. I did my best to destroy it. 14 I was far ahead of my fellow Jews in my zeal for the traditions of my ancestors. 21 After that visit I went north into the provinces of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And still the churches in Christ that are in Judea didn’t know me personally. 23 All they knew was that people were saying, “The one who used to persecute us is now preaching the very faith he tried to destroy!” 24 And they praised God because of me. Says Paul, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 1 verse 11 to 24, the end.
214: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Says King James Version Bible. Hebrews 12 verse 2.
215: Have you forgotten the encouraging words which God speaks to you as his children “My child, pay attention when the Lord corrects you, and do not be discouraged when he rebukes you. Because the Lord corrects everyone he loves, and punishes everyone he accepts as a child.” Endure what you suffer as being a father's punishment; your suffering shows that God is treating you as his children. Was there ever a child who was not punished by his father? If you are not punished, as all his children are, it means you are not real children, but bastards. In the case of our human fathers, they punished us and we respected them. How much more, then, should we submit to our spiritual Father and live! Our human fathers punished us for a short time, as it seemed right to them; but God does it for our own good, so that we may share his holiness. When we are punished, it seems to us at the time something to make us sad, not glad. Later, however, those who have been disciplined by such punishment reap the peaceful reward of a righteous life. Says Hebrews 12 verse 5 to 11.
216: Try to be at peace with everyone, and try to live a holy life, because no one will see the Lord without it. Says Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 12 verse 14.

218: You have come to Jesus, who arranged the new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that promises much better things than does the blood of Abel. Says Hebrews 12 verse 24.
219: I have given you authority, so that you can walk on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the Enemy, and nothing will hurt you. Says Jesus. Luke 10 verse 19.
220: One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!” The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor? Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here. Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy. Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same. Says Christ. Luke 10 verse 25 to 37.
221: In Luke 10 verse 32, Contemporary English Version calls is a Temple Helper. New Living Translation Bible Calls is a temple assistant. While others call it Levite.
221B: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Says Romans 3 verse 23.
221C: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous, not even one. Says Romans 3 verse 10.
Notice!!! This saying (No one is righteous) does not mean that we can continue in sin, because Christ says in Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23 that even his followers who do not live righteously shall never make heaven. So it mainly means that we had once sinned before.
222: Let God must be true, even though all human beings are liars. As the scripture. Says Romans 3 verse 4.
222B: Are we Jews better than the gentiles? no, Jews and Gentiles are all under the power of sin. Says Romans 3 verse 9.
222C: Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law. Says Romans 3 verse 31.
223: Liars, cowards, traitors, perverts, murderers, immoral, magicians, idols worshipers shall have their place in lake burning with fire, which is the second death. Says Revelation 21 verse 8.
224: Life of every living thing is in the blood, do not eat any meat with blood still in it, one who does so will no longer be God's own. Good News Translation Bible. Leviticus 17 verse 14.
225: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 3.
226: Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 5.
227: Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;
God will satisfy them fully. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 6.
228: Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 7.
229: Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 8.
229B: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 9.

231: Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers. 12 Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. This is how the prophets who lived before you were persecuted. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 11 to 12.
232: You are like salt for the whole human race. But if salt loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. It has become worthless, so it is thrown out and people trample on it. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 13.
233: You are like light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. 16 In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 14 to 16.
233B: “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. 18 Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with—not until the end of all things.19 So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kingdom of heaven. Says Christ. Matthew 5:17 to 19.
Notice!!! Christ’s saying here that he never abolished the law does not mean that we should continue following the particular old testament laws that allowed us to personally be condemning others, those are why he said in the same Matthew 5 verse 38 to 48 that you have heard that others say an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a toot, but he says here that when someone does you wrong do not pay him with evil but love him and pray for him. So which Christ was saying against Deuteronomy 19:21 revenging law we were permitted to do revenge, both revenging for an eye for and eye and a tooth for a toot, and etc.
234: You have heard that people were told in the past, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who does will be brought to trial.’ 22 But now I tell you: if you are angry with your brother you will be brought to trial, if you call your brother ‘You good-for-nothing!’ you will be brought before the Council, and if you call your brother a worthless fool you will be in danger of going to the fire of hell. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 5 verse 21 to 22.
234B: But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 22.
235: So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24 leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 23 to 24.
236: If someone brings a lawsuit against you and takes you to court, settle the dispute while there is time, before you get to court. Once you are there, you will be turned over to the judge, who will hand you over to the police, and you will be put in jail. 26 There you will stay, I tell you, until you pay the last penny of your fine. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 5 verse 25 to 26.
237: You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery. 28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 27 to 28.
238: So if your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose a part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell. 30 If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than to have your whole body go off to hell. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 29 to 30.
239: It was also said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’ 32 But now I tell you: if a man divorces his wife for any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he is guilty of making her commit adultery if she marries again; and the man who marries her commits adultery also. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 31 to 32.
240: Do not swear. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 33 to 36.
241: Just say ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Anything else you say comes from the Evil One. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 37.
242: You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too. Says Christ, in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 5 verse 38 to 39.
243: And if someone takes you to court to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. 41 And if one of the occupation troops forces you to carry his pack one mile, carry it two miles. 42 When someone asks you for something, give it to him; when someone wants to borrow something, lend it to him. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 40 to 42.
244: You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ 44 But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil. 46 Why should God reward you if you love only the people who love you? Even the tax collectors do that! 47 And if you speak only to your friends, have you done anything out of the ordinary? Even the pagans do that! 48 You must be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Says Christ. Matthew 5 verse 43 to 48.
245: Christ answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” 6 On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was paralyzed. Luke 6 verse 3 to 6.
245B: Looking at his disciples, he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. 23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 20 to 23.
245C: But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. 25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets. Says Christ. New International Version Bible. Luke 6 verse 24 to 26.
245D: But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone hits you on one cheek, let him hit the other one too; if someone takes your coat, let him have your shirt as well. 30 Give to everyone who asks you for something, and when someone takes what is yours, do not ask for it back. 31 Do for others just what you want them to do for you. 32 “If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! 33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that! 34 And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount! 35 No! Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God. For he is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful just as your Father is merciful. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Luke 6 verse 27 to 36.
246: 37 “Do not judge others, and God will not judge you; do not condemn others, and God will not condemn you; forgive others, and God will forgive you. Says Christ. Good News Translation Bible. Luke 6 verse 37.
247. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 38.
248: A blind man cannot lead another one; if he does, both will fall into a ditch. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 39.
249: The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. Says Christ. King James Version Bible. Luke 6 verse 40.
250: 41, “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 42 How can you think of saying, ‘Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 41 to 42.
251: 43, “A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.44 A tree is identified by its fruit. Figs are never gathered from thorn bushes, and grapes are not picked from bramble bushes. 45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 43 45.
252: 46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins. Says Christ. Luke 6 verse 46 to 49.
253: Notice!! Names of the Apostles are found in Luke 6 verse 13 to 16.
254: Jesus left and was going away from the Temple when his disciples came to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Yes,” he said, “you may well look at all these. I tell you this: not a single stone here will be left in its place; every one of them will be thrown down. Says Christ. Matthew 24 verse 1 to 2.
255: As Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him in private. “Tell us when all this will be,” they asked, “and what will happen to show that it is the time for your coming and the end of the age.” 4 Jesus answered, “Watch out, and do not let anyone fool you. 5 Many men, claiming to speak for me, will come and say, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will fool many people. 6 You are going to hear the noise of battles close by and the news of battles far away; but do not be troubled. Such things must happen, but they do not mean that the end has come. 7 Countries will fight each other; kingdoms will attack one another. There will be famines and earthquakes everywhere. 8 All these things are like the first pains of childbirth. Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 3 to 8.
256: Then you will be arrested and handed over to be punished and be put to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. 10 Many will give up their faith at that time; they will betray one another and hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will appear and fool many people. 12 Such will be the spread of evil that many people's love will grow cold. 13 But whoever holds out to the end will be saved. 14 And this Good News about the Kingdom will be preached through all the world for a witness to all people; and then the end will come. (Notice!! Jesus says in verse 4 to 13). Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 9 to 14.
257: Then many false prophets will appear and fool many people. 12 Such will be the spread of evil that many people's love will grow cold. 13 But whoever holds out to the end will be saved. Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 11 to 13.
258: How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant and for mothers with little babies! 20 Pray to God that you will not have to run away during the winter or on a Sabbath day! Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 19 to 20.
259: If God doesn’t make the time shorter, no one will be left alive. But because of God’s chosen ones, he will make the time shorter. Says Jesus. Contemporary English Version Bible. Matthew 24 verse 22.
260: Then, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There he is!’—do not believe it. 24 For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear; they will perform great miracles and wonders in order to deceive even God's chosen people, if possible. 25 Listen! I have told you this ahead of time. 26 “Or, if people should tell you, ‘Look, he is out in the desert!’—don't go there; or if they say, ‘Look, he is hiding here!’—don't believe it. Says Jesus. Matthew 24 verse 23 to 26.
261: 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Says Jesus. King James Version Bible. Matthew 8 verse 11 to 12.
Notice: New Living Translation Bible calls it, many Israelites hose for whom the Kingdom was prepared will be thrown into outer darkness.
262: And Jesus concluded, “Many are invited, but few are chosen. Says Jesus. Matthew 22 verse 14.
263: Seven brothers who married a lady and they died one by one in line both the lady, a man asked Christ whose wife shall she be when the dead shall rise. Jesus answered them, “How wrong you are! It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power. For when the dead rise to life, they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry or be given to marriage. Matthew 22 verse 24 to 32.
264: A teacher of religious law asked Christ, Teacher,” he asked, “which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and the most important commandment. 39 The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ 40 The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments. Notice!! Jesus answered a Teacher of law. Matthew 22 verse 36 to 40.
265: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Says Hosea 6 verse 6.
266: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. You priests have refused to acknowledge me and have rejected my teaching, and so I reject you and will not acknowledge your sons as my priests. Says King James Version Bible and Good News Translation Bible. Hosea 4 verse 6.

268C: Owe no man anything, but to love one another. Whoever does this has obeyed the Law. 9 The commandments, “Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not desire what belongs to someone else, all these, and any others besides, are summed up in the one command, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” 10 If you love others, you will never do them wrong; to love, then, is to obey the whole Law. Says Romans 13 verse 8 to 10.
269: Jesus looked around and saw rich people dropping their gifts in the Temple treasury, 2 and he also saw a very poor widow dropping in two little copper coins. 3 He said, “I tell you that this poor widow put in more than all the others. 4 For the others offered their gifts from what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, gave all she had to live on. Says Luke 21 verse 1 to 4.
269B: Some of the disciples were talking about the Temple, how beautiful it looked with its fine stones and the gifts offered to God. Jesus said, 6 “All this you see, the time will come when not a single stone here will be left in its place; everyone will be thrown down. Says Luke 21 verse 4 to 6.
269C: Even those closest to you, your parents, brothers, relatives, and friends will betray you. They will even kill some of you. 17 And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish! 19 By standing firm, you will win your souls. Says Christ. Luke 21:16-19.
Notice!! Christ did not mean that your parents or brothers will automatically betray you in everything, but he means that there may be possibilities of it happening in some cases.
270: At that same time the leading priests and elders were meeting at the residence of Caiaphas, the high priest, 4 they were planning how to capture Jesus Christ secretly and kill him. Matthew 26 verse 3 to 4.
270B: Then one of the Twelve the one called Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. Matthew 26 verse 14 to 16.
270C: For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 26 verse 28.
270D: for this is My blood of the [new and better] covenant, which [ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many as a substitutionary atonement for the forgiveness of sins. Says Christ, in Amplified bible. Matthew 26 verse 28.
270E: Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26 verse 39.
270F: Look, the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!” 47 Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people. 48 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” 49 So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss. 50 Then the men grabbed Jesus and arrested him. Matthew 26 verse 45 to 50.
270G: But one of those who were with Jesus drew his sword and struck at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear. 52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “All who take the sword will die by the sword. 53 Don't you know that I could call on my Father for help, and at once he would send me more than twelve armies of angels? 54 But in that case, how could the Scriptures come true which say that this is what must happen? Christ says. Matthew 26 verse 51 to 54.
270H: Then Christ said to the crowd, “Am I a robber that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? Why did you not arrest me in the Temple? I was there in the temple teaching every day. Says Christ. Notice!! Christ said this same exact thing in Mark 14 verse 49 but he only added there that he was in the temple with them teaching every day. Matthew 26 verse 55.
270J: Then all the Christ’s disciples left him and ran away. 57 Then the people who had arrested Jesus led him to the home of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the teachers of religious law and the elders had gathered. 58 Meanwhile, Peter followed him at a distance and came to the high priest’s courtyard. He went in and sat with the guards and waited to see how it would all end. 59 Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus, so they could put him to death. 60 But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forward 61 who declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’” 62 Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, “Well, aren’t you going to answer these charges? What do you have to say for yourself?” 63 But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I demand in the name of the living God, tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” 64 Jesus replied, “You have said it. And in the future you will see the Son of Man seated in the place of power at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 65 Then the high priest tore his clothing to show his horror and said, “Blasphemy! Why do we need other witnesses? You have all heard his blasphemy. 66 What is your verdict?” “Guilty!” they shouted. “He deserves to die!” 67 Then they spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others slapped him 68 and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah. Who hit you?” Says New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 26 verse 56 to 68.
270K A little later some of the other bystanders came over to Peter and said, “You must be one of them; we can tell by your Galilean accent. 74 Then Peter said, "I swear that I am telling the truth! May God punish me if I am not! I do not know that man!" Just then a rooster crowed. Says Good New Translation Bible for the best explanation. 75 Suddenly, Christ’s words flashed through Peter’s mind, as he told him that before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.” And he went away, weeping bitterly. Matthew 26 verse 73 to 75.
Notice!! This shows that if Pater our first pastor could lie and deny Christ even the best pastor you trust could do the same too if he is not at watch. So trust only Christ Jesus alone 100%.
271: But Saul tried to destroy the church; going from house to house, he dragged out the believers, both men and women, and threw them into jail. (Notice!! This happened after Stephen was killed). Says Acts 8 verse 1 to 3.
272: Simon the sorcerer was also baptized by Peter and John as he saw the power in them and believed. He saw how Peter and John baptized people and prayed and the people received holy spirit. He offered money to them to give him the same power of holy spirit so that he can be using it to lay hands on people too. They rebuked him and told him to repent to avoid hell fire, for thinking that he can buy holy spirit with money. Says Acts 8 verse 9 to 24.
272B I want you to stay in Ephesus, just as I urged you when I was on my way to Macedonia. Some people there are teaching false doctrines, and you must order them to stop. 4 Tell them to give up those legends and those long lists of ancestors, which only produce arguments; they do not serve God's plan, which is known by faith. 5 The purpose of this order is to arouse the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a genuine faith. 6 Some people have turned away from these and have lost their way in foolish discussions. 7 They want to be teachers of God's law, but they do not understand their own words or the matters about which they speak with so much confidence. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 1 verse 3 to 7.
273: I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength for my work. I thank him for considering me worthy and appointing me to serve him, 13 even though in the past I spoke evil of him and persecuted and insulted him. But God was merciful to me because I did not yet have faith and so did not know what I was doing. 14 And our Lord poured out his abundant grace on me and gave me the faith and love which are ours in union with Christ Jesus. 15 This is a true saying, to be completely accepted and believed: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am the worst of them, 16 but God was merciful to me in order that Christ Jesus might show his full patience in dealing with me the worst of sinners as an example for all those who would later believe in him and receive eternal life.

Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned, and save it up, so that there will be no need to collect money when I come. After I come I shall give letters of introduction to those you have approved, and send them to take your gift to Jerusalem. If it seems worthwhile for me to go, then they can go along with me.

Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 2 Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. Says in New Living Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 2 verse 1 to 2.
298: This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For. There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity, the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 2 verse 3 to 6.

The people of the earth will be happy because of the death of these two. They will celebrate and send presents to each other, because those two prophets brought much suffering upon the whole human race. After three and a half days a life-giving breath came from God and entered them, and they stood up; and all who saw them were terrified. Then the two prophets heard a loud voice say to them from heaven, “Come up here!” As their enemies watched, they went up into heaven in a cloud.

They swore a curse on themselves if they failed to obey the Law of God as issued by his servant Moses. They solemnly promised to carefully follow all the commands, regulations, and decrees of the Lord our Lord: Says Nehemiah 10 verse 28 to 29.
312: Priests are to be with Levites as the tithes are collected to keep one tenth of the tithes for running the house of God. Says Nehemiah 10 verse 38.

Says Good News Translation Bible. Acts 20 verse 23 to 24.
315: So, guard yourselves and God’s people. Feed and shepherd God’s flock his church, purchased with his own blood over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders. 29 I know that false teachers, like vicious wolves, will come in among you after I leave, not sparing the flock. 30 Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Acts 20 verse 28 to 30.
315: I have not wanted anyone's silver or gold or clothing. You yourselves know that I have worked with these hands of mine to provide everything that my companions and I have needed.

Says Good News Translation Bible. Acts 20 verse 33 to 35.
316: Saul is Rejected as King of Israel by God Almighty. It repented me that I have set up Saul to be king. Says 1 Samuel 15 verse 10 to 35, the end.
317: Samuel said, “Which does the Lord prefer: obedience or offerings and sacrifices?
318: But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the Lord, your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Samuel 15 verse 22.
318B: Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king. 5 Samuel saw Eliab and he taught that he was God's chosen one. But God told him to pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. I do not judge as people judge says God. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart. Jesse called his others sons, but God rejected them all. 11 Samuel asked, are only these your sons? Jesse answered, “There is still the youngest, but he is out taking care of the sheep, and Samuel said, call him. As David came God told Samuel that he is the one. 13 So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David from that day on. Says 1 Samuel 16 verse 1 to 12.
Notice!!! So, it is not by mere appearance that you can know a pure man of God
318C: Now the Spirit of God Almighty had left Saul, and the Lord sent a tormenting spirit that filled him with depression and fear. (Notice!! Reading down explains that they brought David to be playing harp to heal Saul’s bad spirit) Says 1 Samuel 16 verse 14.
Notice!!! This above shows that the spirit of God may have left a man like in Saul’s case, and the man could still be a leader for years, as the above also says that David was very youngest among Jesses’ sons, and 2 Samuel 5 verse 4 says that David was 30 years when he became king. So, which means Saul was the leader of Israel maybe for years irrespective of the spirit of God having left him, before David became the Leader of Israel. So be careful of a pastor that you follow to make sure that the spirit of God has not left him.
319: Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So, because you have rejected the command of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.” Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Samuel 15 verse 23.

321: If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 1 to 3.
322: If I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it does me no good at all. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 3.
323: Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; 5 love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; 6 love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. 7 Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 4 to 7.
324: does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil. Says New King James Version Bible or King James Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 5.

326: Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in strange tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 13 verse 8.

327D: Those of you who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut yourselves off from Christ. You are outside God's grace. Says Galatians 5 verse 4.
Notice!!! This mainly means that we shall not use old testament law to condemn others anymore as permitted in the old testament law Deuteronomy 19 verse 21 and etc. So, otherwise we cut ourselves away from Christ and cut ourselves from grace. So, it does not mean that we shall continue sinning, because Christ says in Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23 that even his followers who do not live righteously shall never make heaven.
328: So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. Galatians 5 verse 1.
328B: For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. Says New Living Translation Bible for best understanding. Galatians 5 verse 13.
329: All the whole Law is summed up in one commandment: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” 15 But if you act like wild animals, hurting and harming each other, then watch out, or you will completely destroy one another. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 5 verse 14 to 15.
330: Let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature. 17 For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants. These two are enemies, and this means that you cannot do what you want to do. Says Galatians 5 verse 16 to 17.
331: But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. 19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 5 verse 18 to 26 the end.

332: He was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11 For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says, ‘The stone that you builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’ 12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Says Acts 4 verse 10 to 12.
333: The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus. Says Good News Translation Bible. Acts 4 verse 13.

334B: Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Protect the rights of all who are helpless. 9 Speak for them and be a righteous judge. Protect the rights of the poor and needy. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 31 verse 8 to 9.
Notice!! King James Version Bible also says be a righteous judge in this Proverbs 31 verse 8 to 9.
335: For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. Says Ephesians 2 verse 6.
336: Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them, and to be ready to do good in every way. 2 Tell them not to speak evil of anyone, but to be peaceful and friendly, and always to show a gentle attitude toward everyone. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and wrong. We were slaves to passions and pleasures of all kinds. We spent our lives in malice and envy; others hated us and we hated them. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior was revealed, 5 he saved us. It was not because of any good deeds that we ourselves had done, but because of his own mercy that he saved us, through the Holy Spirit, who gives us new birth and new life by washing us. 6 God poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that by his grace we might be put right with God and come into possession of the eternal life we hope for. Says Good News Translation Bible. Titus 3 verse 1 to 7.
337: But avoid stupid arguments, long lists of ancestors, quarrels, and fights about the Law. They are useless and worthless. 10 Give at least two warnings to those who cause divisions, and then have nothing more to do with them. Titus 3 verse 9 to 10.
337B: Give at least two warnings to those who cause divisions, and then have nothing more to do with them. Titus 3 verse 10.
338: And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. 8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. Says Colossians 2 verse 6 to 8.
338B: He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. Says Colossians 2 verse 6-14.
339: You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as,21 “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? 22 Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. Says Colossians 2 verse 20-22.
340: The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” Says New Living Translation Bible. John 4 verse 9.
340B: So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?” 21 Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.22 You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. 23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. Says New Living Translation Bible. John 4 verse 20 to 24.
341: The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant. Says Psalm 25 verse 14.
343: Shimei was insulting and cursing David that God has given Absalom his Kingdom, which he took from Saul and killed some of his family. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 2 Samuel 16 verse 5 to 14.
344: Shimei fell down before David and begged him forgive for the insult he gave him before, and David swore unto him that he will not die. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 2 Samuel 19 verse 16 to 23.
344B: David asked God why famine in Israel. God told him it was because Saul killed The Gibeonites. David asked The Gibeonites what they wanted, but they requested for Saul's seven sons to give them to kill. Saul's five grandsons from his daughter Merab, the wife of Adriel son of Barzillai from Meholah were among seven David chose and gave them. The scriptures says there that they killed them before God. Says 2 Samuel 21 verse 1 to 9.
345: Shimei cursed me bitterly the other day. He met me and begged me and I promised him in God's name that I would not kill him. You are a wise man, and you will know how to arrange a bloody death for him. In verse 10 exactly after these speech David died after telling Solomon these. (Notice!! This is just a brief).

347: Solomon told Shimei to build house in Jerusalem and never leave there, they both agreed. three years later Shimei's servants ran away and he went to look for them and brought them back. Solomon told him that he warned him not to leave Jerusalem which they agreed, and he reminded him what he did to his father. He killed Shimei. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 1 King 2 verse 36 to 46, The end.
347B: Adonijah Absalom's elder brother rebelled against King David and took Joab King David’s army commander in chief, and Abiathar the priest into his confidence and they agreed to help him become king. He invited all his brothers—the other sons of King David—and all the royal officials of Judah. They were feasting and drinking with him and shouting, ‘Long live King Adonijah!’ 10 But he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benaiah or the king’s bodyguard or his brother Solomon. Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and others refused to support Adonijah. 34 When King David heard about these he quickly ordered Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet to anoint Solomon king over Israel. Says 1 Kings chapter 1.
348: Bathsheba told David about her pregnancy. David called Uriah the Hittite from war and gave him a letter to give Joab, containing that he puts him in a dangerous war zone and pull back for him to be killed. Joab did as instructed, and Uriah was killed. David married her and God was upset. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 2 Samuel 11 verse 1 to 27, The end.
349: Saul sent his messengers to David to deceive him into marrying his daughter. David was thinking that it is not possible due to his being a poor boy. But Saul was convincing David and he said, give me one hundred foreskins of dead Philistines as a revenge on my enemies, as a payment for the bride to marry my daughter. Saul told David this with the intention that Philistines will kill him while doing that, so that he would not be the one to do it again as he tried to kill him before and failed. But David went and killed two hundred Philistines and took their foreskins to Saul and counted them all out one by one to him. So, Saul gave him his daughter and became more afraid of him and his enemy from that day throughout. (Notice!! This is just a brief). Says 1 Samuel 18 verse 6 to 30, The end.
350: I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 4 to 5.
350B: These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 19.
350C: 11 How terrible for them! They have followed the way that Cain took. For the sake of money they have given themselves over to the error that Balaam committed. 12 With their shameless carousing they are like dirty spots in your fellowship meals. They take care only of themselves. They are like trees that bear no fruit. The Lord will come with many thousands of his holy angels 15 to bring judgment on all. 18 When the last days come, people will appear who will make fun of you, people who follow their own godless desires.” 19 These are the people who cause divisions, who are controlled by their natural desires, who do not have the Spirit. Says in Good News Translation Bible or New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 11 to 19.
351: Show mercy toward those who have doubts; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; and to others show mercy mixed with fear, but hate their very clothes, stained by their sinful lusts. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jude 1 verse 22 to 23.
351B: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. Says 2 Timothy 4 verse 1 to 2.
352: The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear. Says 2 Timothy 4 verse 3.
352B: They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Timothy 4 verse 4.
352C: Timothy, please come as soon as you can. 10 Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this world and has gone to Thessalonica. Says, 2 Timothy 4 verse 9 to 10.
353: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 8 verse 1.
353B: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Says King James Version Bible. Romans 8 verse 2.
354: The Holy Spirit will give you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you free from sin and death. 3 The Law of Moses cannot do this, because our selfish desires make the Law weak. But God set you free when he sent his own Son to be like us sinners and to be a sacrifice for our sin. God used Christ’s body to condemn sin. 4 He did this, so that we would do what the Law commands by obeying the Spirit instead of our own desires. 5 People who are ruled by their desires think only of themselves. Everyone who is ruled by the Holy Spirit thinks about spiritual things. 6 If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace. 7 Our desires fight against God, because they do not and cannot obey God’s laws. 8 If we follow our desires, we cannot please God. 9 You are no longer ruled by your desires, but by God’s Spirit, who lives in you. People who don’t have the Spirit of Christ in them don’t belong to him. 10 But Christ lives in you. So you are alive because God has accepted you, even though your bodies must die because of your sins. 11 Yet God raised Jesus to life! God’s Spirit now lives in you, and he will raise you to life by his Spirit. 12 My dear friends, we must not live to satisfy our desires. 13 If you do, you will die. But you will live, if by the help of God’s Spirit you say “No” to your desires. 14 Only those people who are led by God’s Spirit are his children. Says Contemporary English Version Bible. Romans 8 verse 2 to 14.
354B: Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death? 36 As the scripture says, “For your sake we are in danger of death at all times; we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us!38 For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, 39 neither the world above nor the world below, there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8 verse 35 to 39, The end.
355: 10 Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s slave. 11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?” John 18 verse 10 to 11.
355B: 33 Pilate called for Jesus to be brought to him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked Christ. 35 Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?” 36 Christ answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world. Jesus answered. Says in New Living Translation Bible. John 18 verse 33 to 36.
356: At that time the disciples came to Jesus, asking, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” 2 So Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them, 3 and said, “I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. 4 The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child. (Notice!! Jesus said from verse 3). Says Good News Translation Bible. Matthew 18 verse 1 to 4.
356B: But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 18 verse 6.
357: Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree, that is, are of one mind, in harmony, about anything that they ask within the will of God, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Says in some Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 18 verse 19.
358: For where two or three are gathered in My name meeting together as My followers, I am there among them. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 18 verse 20.
359: Parable of the unfaithful wicked servant, a king and his unforgiven servant who refused to forgive his other servant as his master forgave him too. The master said that he would reverse that forgiveness and throw him to the prison. Christ says that it is how it would be for anyone of us who refuses to forgive other. Says Christ. Matthew 18 verse 23 to 35, The end.
359B: One day some parents brought their little children to Christ so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they tried to stop the parents, saying that they were bothering Christ. 16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the truth, anyone who does not receive the Kingdom of God Almighty like a child will never enter the Kingdom of God Almighty. Says Christ, in Luke 18 verse 16 to 17.
359C Christ said to his disciples, “Listen, we’re going up to Jerusalem, where all the predictions of the prophets concerning the Son of Man will come true. 32 He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon. 33 They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.” Says Christ, in Luke 18 verse 31 to 33.
359C: Jesus went on into Jericho and was passing through. 2 There was a chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus, who was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was a little man and could not see Jesus because of the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, who was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today.” 6 Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed him with great joy. 7 All the people who saw it started to complain saying that Christ has gone to visit the home of a notorious sinner to eat with him!” 8 Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.” 9 Christ said to him, “Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a descendant of Abraham. 10 And Christ continues to say here, The Son of Man came to seek and to save people who are lost.” Says in New Living Translation Bible and Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 19 verse 1 to 10.
359D: And as for these enemies of mine who didn’t want me to be their king bring them in and execute them right here in front of me.’” Says Christ, in Luke 19 verse 27. Notice!!! If you use New Living Translation Bible for better understanding to continue reading this Luke 19 from verse 28 it says after Christ was telling the story. So meaning Christ was just telling a story here, or a parable as some bible translations also call it, which is why if you start reading this Luke chapter 19 from verse 11 it clearly says that Christ was telling people a parable, which the parable continued till this Luke chapter 19 verse 27. So Christ was not commanding his followers to kill any unbelievers or any human in this Luke chapter 19 verse 27, and Christ never commanded any human on earth to revenge anywhere at all. So if you read this Luke chapter 19 from verse 11 till 28 in full context to understand it very well Christ was only telling people a parable of a particular king who was judging his unfaithful servants to death, which is like a parable of what will happen when God Almighty will judge the world after this current world, just like the parable in Matthew chapter 25 which Christ says there that at the end of this world when he comes again that the unfaithful shall land in Hell fire. So many people who do not understand this Luke chapter 19 take just one line which is verse 27 without reading the whole Luke chapter 19 in full to understand it very well, so they say that Christ was radical, that he says that his disciples should kill unbelievers. But Christ never commanded anywhere on earth for us to revenge on any human, but only God Almighty shall judge and allow sinners die to hell fire after this life on earth. Those are why the same Christ says in John 18 verse 36 that if his kingdom is of this world that his followers would have fought to defend him from who came to kill him. Luke 19 verse 27.
359E: After that, he taught daily in the Temple, but the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders of the people began planning how to kill him. 48 But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 19 verse 47 to 48.
360: Our dedication to Christ makes us look like fools, but you claim to be so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are so powerful! You are honored, but we are ridiculed. 11 To this very moment we go hungry and thirsty; we are clothed in rags; we are beaten; we wander from place to place; 12 we wear ourselves out with hard work. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure; 13 when we are insulted, we answer back with kind words. We are no more than this world's garbage; we are the scum of the earth to this very moment! Says Apostles, Good in News Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 4 verse 10 to 13.
361: Every plant which my Father in heaven did not plant will be pulled up,” answered Jesus. 14 “Don't worry about them! They are blind leaders of the blind; and when one blind man leads another, both fall into a ditch.” Says Christ about Pharisees who disagree with him. Matthew 15 verse 13 to 14.
361B: But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 15 verse 18 to 21.
362: Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death. 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, realized that Jesus had been condemned to die, he was filled with remorse. So he took the thirty pieces of silver back to the leading priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he declared, “for I have betrayed an innocent man.” “What do we care?” they retorted. “That’s your problem.” 5 Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself. 6 The leading priests picked up the coins. “It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,” they said, “since it was payment for murder. 18 Governo Pilate knew very well that the religious leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy. 20 Meanwhile, the leading priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death. Matthew 27 verse 1 to 20.
362: Christ again gave a loud cry and breathed his last and died. Says in Good News Translation Bible and Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 27 verse 50.
362B: Then the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split apart, 52 the graves broke open, and many of God's people who had died were raised to life. Says Matthew 27 verse 51 to 52.
363: My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere. 2 This is how you will be able to know whether it is God's Spirit: anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ came as a human being has the Spirit who comes from God. (Notice!! Even Satan believes. So, it is by practicing the law, not by saying) Says 1 John 4 verse 1 to 2.
364: But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Says in Good News Translation Bible and King James Version Bible. 1 John 4 verse 4.
365: Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 John 4 verse 7 to 8.
366: If we truly love others and live as Christ did in this world, we won’t be worried about the day of judgment. A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 4 verse 17 to 18.
367: We love because God loved us first. 20 But if we say we love God and don’t love each other, we are liars. We cannot see God. So how can we love God, if we don’t love the people we can see? 21 The commandment that God has given us is: “Love God and love each other. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 4 verse 19 to 21.
368: We love because God first loved us. 20 If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen. 21 The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 4 verse 19 to 21.
369: The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord; the earth and all who live on it are his. Says Psalm 24 verse 1.
370: I chose you before I gave you life, and before you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations. Says Jeremiah 1 verse 5.
371: The righteous will possess the land and live in it forever. Says Psalm 37 verse 29.
372: To the church that meets in your, house. Philemon 1 verse 2.
372B: This letter is from Paul, a prisoner for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy. I am writing to Philemon, our beloved co-worker, 2 and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your house. Philemon 1 verse 1 to 2.
373: My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. Says New Living Translation Bible. Psalm 119 verse 71.
373B: My punishment was good for me, because it made me learn your commands. Says Good News Translation Bible. Psalm 119 verse 71.
374: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. Says King James Version Bible. Job 1 verse 6.
374B. One day when Job's children were having a feast at the home of their oldest brother, 14 a messenger came running to Job. “We were plowing the fields with the oxen,” he said, “and the donkeys were in a nearby pasture. 15 Suddenly the Sabeansm attacked and stole them all. They killed every one of your servants except me. I am the only one who escaped to tell you. 16 Before he had finished speaking, another servant came and said, “Lightning struck the sheep and the shepherds and killed them all. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 17 Before he had finished speaking, another servant came and said, “Three bands of Chaldean raiders attacked us, took away the camels, and killed all your servants except me. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 18 Before he had finished speaking, another servant came and said, “Your children were having a feast at the home of your oldest son, 19 when a storm swept in from the desert. It blew the house down and killed them all. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 20 Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief. He shaved his head and threw himself face downward on the ground. 21 He said, “I was born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The Lord gave, and now he has taken away. May his name be praised!” 22 In spite of everything that had happened, Job did not sin by blaming God. Job 1 verse 13 to 22. The end.
374C: Notice: Above you red proves that Satan did not need human beings to get Job’s children. So, in verse 7 to 12 God gave Satan permission to tempt Job but do not touch his soul.
374D: O!!! foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? Says Paul Galatians 3 verse 1.
Notice!!! Paul calling Galatians fool here does not mean that we too should be calling others fool as a doctrine, because remember that Paul says in Philippians 3:12 that he does not claim to be perfect. So, Christ our perfect example warned us in Matthew 5:22 that calling others fool leads to hell fire.
375: But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” 11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.” 13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 3 verse 10 to 14.
375B: But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.” Says Galatians 3 verse 10.
376: Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people. 20, Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when he gave his promise to Abraham. 21, Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it. 22, But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ. 23, Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed. 24, Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith. 25. And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian. 26, For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27, And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 3 verse 19 to 27.
377. There is no longer Jew or Gentile slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 3 verse 28.
378: And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 3 verse 29.
379: There are many rooms in my Father's house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so. And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. Says Christ. John 14 verse 2 to 3.
380: Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me. Says Christ. John 14 verse 6.
381: I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do, yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father. Says Christ. John 14 verse 12.
382: I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the Son. 14 If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it. Says Christ. John 14 verse 13 to 14.
383: If you love me, you will obey my commandments. Says Christ. John 14 verse 15.
384: Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. John 14 verse 21.
385: Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and my Father and I will come to them and live with them. 24 Those who do not love me do not obey my teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father, who sent me. Says Christ. John 14 verse 23 to 24.
385: The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you. Says Christ. John 14 verse 26.
386: Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I. Says Christ. John 14 verse 27 to 28.
387: The ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me. Says Christ. John 14 verse 30.
390: King Ahab, the 7th king of Israel asked Naboth to give him his vineyard so that he can exchange it for another land, or pay him the money for it, that it is nearer to his palace, that he wants to be using it for his vegetable garden. But Naboth refused. Ahab went home angry and refused to eat, because Naboth refused. Jezebel his wife asked him, what made you angry? He told her. She told Ahab to eat, that she will get the land from Naboth. She planned with two men to give false witnesses and accused Naboth of cursing God and cursing King, and they stoned him to death. Jezebel told Ahab to take the land, that Naboth is now dead. Ahab went to the land to claim it. God told Elijah to go and message King Ahab of Israel, to tell him that at the very place he killed Naboth and dogs licked up Naboth's blood is where dogs will lick up his blood also. Verse 21 to 22 says, that God said that he will bring disaster on Naboth and consume him and his family, as him God destroyed the family of Jeroboam. 23 “And regarding Jezebel, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel’s body at the plot of land in Jezreel. 25 No one else did evil like King Ahab, due to his wife encouraged him to do evil also. 26 His worst sin was worshipping idols. Says 1 Kings 21.
390B: Ahab the King of Israel told his officials that the town of Ramoth-gilead belongs to them for them to go and recapture it. 5 Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah who visited king Ahab added, “But first let us find out what the Lord says.” 6 So king Ahab summoned the prophets, about 400 of them, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I hold back?” They all replied, “Yes, go right ahead! The Lord will give the king victory.” 7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not also a prophet of the Lord here? We should ask him the same question.” 8 The king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, “There is one more man who could consult the Lord for us, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me! His name is Micaiah son of Imlah.” Jehoshaphat advised that they should call him, which Ahab did call him. 13 Meanwhile, the messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him, “Look, all the prophets are promising victory for the king. Be sure that you agree with them and promise success.” 14 But Micaiah replied, “As surely as the Lord lives, I will say only what the Lord tells me to say.” 15 When Micaiah arrived before the king, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we hold back?” Micaiah replied sarcastically, “Yes, go up and be victorious, for the Lord will give the king victory!” 16 But the king replied sharply, “How many times must I demand that you speak only the truth to me when you speak for the Lord?” 17 Then Micaiah told him, “In a vision I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘Their master has been killed. Send them home in peace.’ 18 “Didn’t I tell you?” the king of Israel exclaimed to Jehoshaphat. “He never prophesies anything but trouble for me.” 19 Then Micaiah continued, “Listen to what the Lord says! I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the armies of heaven around him, on his right and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, ‘Who can entice Ahab to go into battle against Ramoth-gilead so he can be killed?’ 21 and finally a spirit approached the Lord and said, ‘I can do it!’ 22 “‘How will you do this?’ the Lord asked. “And the spirit replied, ‘I will go out and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to speak lies.’ “‘You will succeed,’ said the Lord. ‘Go ahead and do it.’ 23 “So you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all your prophets. For the Lord has pronounced your doom.” 24 Then Zedekiah walked up to Micaiah and slapped him across the face, and asked him, “Since when did the Spirit of the Lord leave me to speak to you?” he demanded. 25 Micaiah replied to him that they would find out soon. 26 King Ahab ordered that Micaiah would be arrested for prophesying the truth that he does not like. He ordered that they feed him only bread and water until he returns safely from the battle, as he claimed! King Ahab went to the war, he died in the war by the arrow that was randomly shot at Israeli troops. 37 So the king died, and his body was taken to Samaria and buried there. 38 Then his chariot was washed beside the pool of Samaria, and dogs came and licked his blood, just as the Lord had promised. Says, 1 Kings 22 verse 1 to 38.
390C: From verse 30: Jehu commanded that Jezebel should be thrown down out of the window, and her blood spattered against the wall and on the horses. And Jehu trampled her body under his horses’ hooves. Jehu commanded and said, go and bury this cursed woman. But when they went out to bury her, they found only her skull, her feet, and her hands. When they returned and told Jehu, he stated, “This fulfills the message from the Lord, which he spoke through his servant Elijah. ‘At the plot of land in Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel’s body. Her remains will be scattered like dung on the plot of land in Jezreel, so that no one will be able to recognize her.’” Says, 2 Kings chapter 9.
391: Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 1 to 2.
391B: Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. 4 Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes, these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 3 to 4.
391C: You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Says in New Living Translation Bible or Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 5.
391D: Try to learn what pleases the Lord. Says Ephesians 5 verse 10.
392: Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 5 verse 11.
393: If your leaders say to you, Look, God's kingdom is in the sky, then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you It is in the sea, then the fish will precede you. Rather, God's kingdom is inside you and it is outside you. Says Christ. Gospel of Thomas 3.
394: Split a piece of wood and I am there. Lift up the stone and you will find Me there. Says Christ. Gospel of Thomas 77.
394B: And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. 6 Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is. 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. 1 John 3 verse 5 to 9.
394: Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God's children. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 10.
395: We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 14.
396: Those who hate others are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life in them. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 15.
397: This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us. We too, then, ought to give our lives for others. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 16.
398: We know what love is because Jesus gave his life for us. That’s why we must give our lives for each other. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 16.
399: If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God? 18 My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action. 19 This, then, is how we will know that we belong to the truth; this is how we will be confident in God's presence. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 John 3 verse 17 to 19.
400: Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again. Says Christ. John 3 verse 3.
401: 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. Says Christ. John 3 verse 16.
402: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. John 3 verse 17.
403: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. John 3 verse 18.
403B: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, because their actions were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. Says Christ. John 3 verse 19 to 21.
404: John The Baptist answered, “No one can have anything unless God gives it. Says John 3 verse 27.
404B: He must become greater; I must become less. 32 The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. Notice!!! If you read the whole of this chapter 3 you will know that John The Baptist was talking about Christ here. But precisely, John 3 verse 30 to 36, the end.
404B: You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. 2 And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. 3 Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? 4 Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? Says, Romans 2 verse 1 to 4.
405: when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render to every man according to his deeds. Says in King James Version Bible. Romans 2 verse 6.
405B: But God will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation, Romans 2 verse 8.
405C: For there is no respect of persons with God. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Says, Romans 2 verse 11.
405D: For God shows no partiality, no arbitrary favoritism, with Him one person is not more important than another. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 2 verse 11.
406: For it is not by hearing the Law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the Law commands. Says Romans 2 verse 13.
406B: Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. 15 They demonstrate that God’s law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation, Romans 2 verse 14 to 15.
406C: You are so proud of knowing the law, but you dishonor God by breaking it. 24 No wonder the Scriptures say, “The Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you. Romans 2 verse 23 to 24.
407: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 6 verse 1.
407B: Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace. Romans 6 verse 14.
Notice!!! (You are no longer under the law does not mean that we should continue sinning) But it mostly means that humans can no longer use Old Testament law to personally condemn their fellow humans, but only God personally judges and condemns who does not obey him forever.
408: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Says King James Version Bible, Romans 6 verse 23.
409: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Says Christ. Matthew 16 verse 18.
410: Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s point of view. (Notice!!! Some bible translations say that Peter’s thoughts didn’t come from God, but from human nature. This was as Peter was advising Christ that he wouldn't die, which he knew he would deny him) Says Christ. New Living Translation Bible, Matthew 16 verse 23.
411: Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me, as My disciple, he must deny himself, set aside selfish interests, and take up his cross, expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come, and follow Me, believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me. 25 For whoever wishes to save his life in this world will eventually lose it through death, but whoever loses his life in this world for My sake will find it, that is, life with Me for all eternity. Says Christ, in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 16 verse 24 to 25.
412: For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world wealth, fame, success, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Says Christ, in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. Matthew 16 verse 26.
413: God Almighty says, ‘When I bring an army against a country, the people of that land choose one of their own to be a watchman. 3 When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. 4 Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die. 5 They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives. 6 But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths. 7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Says New Living Translation Bible. Ezekiel 33 verse 1 to 9.
414: A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty. Says Proverbs 22 verse 16.
415: Don't make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers. 25 You might learn their habits and not be able to change. Says Good News Translation Bible and in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation, Proverbs 22 verse 24 to 25.
415B: Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home. Says Romans 16 verse 5.
415C: My host Gaius, in whose house the church meets, sends you his greetings. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation, Romans 16 verse 23.
416: I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them! 18 For those who do such things are not serving Christ our Lord, but their own appetites. By their fine words and flattering speech they deceive innocent people. Says Romans 16 verse 17 to 18.
416B: Notice: All these are letter sent from Paul while he was in Corinth.
417: But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public, because he was clearly wrong. 12 Before some men who had been sent by James arrived there, Peter had been eating with the Gentile believers. But after these men arrived, he drew back and would not eat with the Gentiles, because he was afraid of those who were in favor of circumcising them. 13 The other Jewish believers also started acting like cowards along with Peter; and even Barnabas was swept along by their cowardly action. 14 When I saw that they were not walking a straight path in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you have been living like a Gentile, not like a Jew. How, then, can you try to force Gentiles to live like Jews?” Says Paul. Galatians 2 verse 11 to 14.
418: Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law. Says N L T bible. Galatians 2 verse 16.
419: But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! 18 Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. Says New Living Translation Bible. Galatians 2 verse 17 to 18.
419B: For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So, I died to the law, I stopped trying to meet all its requirements so that I might live for God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Galatians 2 verse 19.
420: My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. Says Galatians 2 verse 20.
421: For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. Says Galatians 2 verse 21.
422: For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Ephesians 6 verse 12.
423: Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks. 12 We are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13 So put on God's armor now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground. 14 So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, 15 and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace. 16 At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One. 17 And accept salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. 18 Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God's people. Ephesians 6 verse 11 to 18.
424: While they were at Lystra, Paul and Barnabas came upon a man with crippled feet. He had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was sitting 9 and listening as Paul preached. Looking straight at him, Paul realized he had faith to be healed. 10 So Paul called to him in a loud voice, “Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking. 11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their local dialect, “These men are gods in human form!” 12 They decided that Barnabas was the Greek god Zeus and that Paul was Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. 13 Now the temple of Zeus was located just outside the town. So the priest of the temple and the crowd brought bulls and wreaths of flowers to the town gates, and they prepared to offer sacrifices to the apostles. 14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting, 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. 16 In the past he permitted all the nations to go their own ways, 17 but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.”18 But even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could scarcely restrain the people from sacrificing to them. Acts 14 verse 8 to 18.
425: 19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead. 20 But as the believers gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe. 21 After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia, 22 where they strengthened the believers. They encouraged them to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God. Says Acts 14 verse 19 to 22.
427: 2 Watch out for those who do evil things, those dogs, those who insist on cutting the body. 3 It is we, not they, who have received the true circumcision, for we worship God by means of his Spirit and rejoice in our life in union with Christ Jesus. We do not put any trust in external ceremonies. 4 I could, of course, put my trust in such things. If any of you think you can trust in external ceremonies, I have even more reason to feel that way. 5 I was circumcised when I was a week old. I am an Israelite by birth, of the tribe of Benjamin, a pure-blooded Hebrew. As far as keeping the Jewish Law is concerned, I was a Pharisee, 6 and I was so zealous that I persecuted the church. As far as a person can be righteous by obeying the commands of the Law, I was without fault. 7 But all those things that I might count as profit I now reckon as loss for Christ's sake. 8 Not only those things; I reckon everything as complete loss for the sake of what is so much more valuable, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have thrown everything away; I consider it all as mere garbage, so that I may gain Christ 9 and be completely united with him. I no longer have a righteousness of my own, the kind that is gained by obeying the Law. I now have the righteousness that is given through faith in Christ, the righteousness that comes from God and is based on faith. 10 All I want is to know Christ and to experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings and become like him in his death, 11 in the hope that I myself will be raised from death to life. 12 I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself. Says Paul in Good News Translation Bible. Philippians 3 verse 1 to 12.
427B: I do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to himself. Says Paul in Good News Translation Bible. Philippians 3 verse 12.
428: Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. 18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame who set their mind on earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Says Paul in New King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Philippians 3 verse 17 to 21, the end.
429: After John’s disciples left, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. “What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? 25 Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes? No, people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces. 26 Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet. Says Christ, in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Luke 7 verse 24 to 26.
430: I tell you,” Jesus added, “John is greater than anyone who has ever lived. But the one who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than John. Says Christ. Luke 7 verse 28.
431: What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words. Says Good News Translation Bible. Proverbs 18 verse 21.
432: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Says King James Version Bible. Proverbs 18 verse 21.
433: When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Says King James Version Bible. Proverbs 16 verse 7.
433: What you think is the right road may lead to death. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 16 verse 25.
434: There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Proverbs 16 verse 25.
435: Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for. 25 And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done. Says Christ in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Mark 11 verse 22 to 25.
436: Tell my people Israel of their sins! 2 Yet they act so devoutly religious.
They come to the Temple every day and seem delighted to learn all about me. They act like a righteous nation that would never abandon the laws of its God. They ask me to take action on their behalf, pretending they want to be near me. 3 ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say. ‘Why aren’t you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don’t even notice it!’ “I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers. 4 What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me. 5 You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting? Do you really think this will please the Lord? 6 “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. 7 Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. 8 “Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind. 9 Then when you call, the Lord will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply. “Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors! 10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. 12 Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes. Says, Isaiah chapter 58.
437: And Jesus concluded, “Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour. At that time the Kingdom of heaven will be like this. Once there was a man who was about to leave home on a trip; he called his servants and put them in charge of his property. 15 He gave to each one according to his ability: to one he gave five thousand gold coins, to another he gave two thousand, and to another he gave one thousand. Then he left on his trip. 16 The servant who had received five thousand coins went at once and invested his money and earned another five thousand. 17 In the same way the servant who had received two thousand coins earned another two thousand. 18 But the servant who had received one thousand coins went off, dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money. 19 “After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. 20 The servant who had received five thousand coins came in and handed over the other five thousand. ‘You gave me five thousand coins, sir,’ he said. ‘Look! Here are another five thousand that I have earned.’ 21 ‘Well done, you good and faithful servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share my happiness!’ 22 Then the servant who had been given two thousand coins came in and said, ‘You gave me two thousand coins, sir. Look! Here are another two thousand that I have earned.’ 23 ‘Well done, you good and faithful servant!’ said his master. ‘You have been faithful in managing small amounts, so I will put you in charge of large amounts. Come on in and share my happiness!’ 24 Then the servant who had received one thousand coins came in and said, ‘Sir, I know you are a hard man; you reap harvests where you did not plant, and you gather crops where you did not scatter seed. 25 I was afraid, so I went off and hid your money in the ground. Look! Here is what belongs to you.’ 26 ‘You bad and lazy servant!’ his master said. ‘You knew, did you, that I reap harvests where I did not plant, and gather crops where I did not scatter seed? 27 Well, then, you should have deposited my money in the bank, and I would have received it all back with interest when I returned. 28 Now, take the money away from him and give it to the one who has ten thousand coins. 29 For to every person who has something, even more will be given, and he will have more than enough; but the person who has nothing, even the little that he has will be taken away from him. 30 As for this useless servant—throw him outside in the darkness; there he will cry and gnash his teeth.’ Says Christ. Matthew 25 verse 13 to 30.
438: Dead man stood up alive from death as his body was thrown into Elisha’s grave. Says 2 Kings 13 verse 21.
439: 25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. 26 To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. 27 You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud. Says New Living Translation Bible. Psalm 18 verse 25 to 27.
440: Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble. 2 The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies. 3 The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health. Psalm 41 verse 1 to 3.
441: Give glory to the LORD your God before it is too late. Acknowledge him before he brings darkness upon you, causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains. For then, when you look for light, you will find only terrible darkness and gloom. Says in New Living Translation Bible. Jeremiah 13 verse 16.
442: Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up. 2 We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. 3 If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 1 to 3.
443: Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 4.
444: You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 5.
445: We told you about Jesus, and you received the Holy Spirit and accepted our message. But you let some people tell you about another Jesus. Now you are ready to receive another spirit and accept a different message. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 11 verse 4.
446: I robbed other churches by accepting more than their share of financial support for my ministry to you. Says Amplified Version Bible. 2 Corinthians 11 verse 8.
447: Those men are not true apostles, they are false apostles, who lie about their work and disguise themselves to look like real apostles of Christ. 14 Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light!! (Notice!! Paul tells a church) Says, 2 Corinthians 11 verse 13 to 14.
447B Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they servants of Christ? I have served him far more! I have worked harder, been put in prison more often, been whipped times without number, and faced death again and again. 24 Five different times the Jewish leaders gave me thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked. Once I spent a whole night and a day adrift at sea. 26 I have travelled on many long journeys. I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers. I have faced danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers but are not. 27 I have worked hard and long, enduring many sleepless nights. I have been hungry and thirsty and have often gone without food. I have shivered in the cold, without enough clothing to keep me warm. 28 Then, besides all this, I have the daily burden of my concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak without my feeling that weakness? Who is led astray, and I do not burn with anger? 30 If I must boast, I would rather boast about the things that show how weak I am. Says, 2 Corinthians 11 verse 22 to 33 the end.
448: For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. Says New Living Translation Bible. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 1.
449: Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever. Says Contemporary English Version Bible. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 1.
449B: We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies. 4 We want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 6 As long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 8 We would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 2 to 8.
450: He died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but only for him who died and was raised to life for their sake. Says, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 15.
450B: No longer, then, do we judge anyone by human standards. Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so. Says G N T. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 16.
450C: Which is also explained as (know no man by flesh)
451: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Says, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17.
452: Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. Says Revelation 12 verse 12.
453: According to the Old Testament law, God told the Israelites to sacrifice animal burnt offering as a sin offering, that their sins will be forgiven while that. They shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent, put their hands on its head, and kill it there in the Lord's presence. And that the High Priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent. The High Priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it in front of the sacred curtain seven times. The High Priest shall put some of the blood on the projections at the corners of the incense altar in the Tent. He shall pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar used for burning sacrifices, which is at the entrance of the Tent. The priest shall take the animal's fat and burn it on the altar used for the burnt offerings, just as he does with the fat from the animal killed for the fellowship offerings. They also used to bring either sheep or goat for sin offerings. Notice!! To read the whole chapter visit, Leviticus chapter 4.
454: You hate justice and who speaks the truth. You oppressed the poor and robbed them of their grain. I hate your religious festivals. I will not accept your offerings. Stop your noisy songs. Instead, let justice flow like a stream, and righteousness like a river that never goes dry. (Notice!! This is shortened verses. (God told the Israelite). Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Amos 5 verse 7 to 24.
455: You people are doomed! You twist the truth and stomp on justice. The Lord said: You people hate judges and honest witnesses; you abuse the poor and demand heavy taxes from them. You have built expensive homes, but you won’t enjoy them; you have planted vineyards, but you will get no wine. I am the Lord, and I know your terrible sins. You cheat honest people and take bribes; you rob the poor of justice. If you really want to live, you must stop doing wrong and start doing right. I, the Lord God All-Powerful, will then be on your side, just as you claim I am. Choose good instead of evil! See that justice is done. This is what the Lord has sworn: Noisy crying will be heard in every town and street. Even farmers will be told to mourn for the dead, together with those who are paid to mourn. Your vineyards will be filled with crying and weeping, because I will punish you. I, the Lord, have spoken! You look forward to the day when the Lord comes to judge. But you are in for trouble! It won’t be a time of sunshine; all will be darkness. You will run from a lion, only to meet a bear. You will escape to your house, rest your hand on the wall, and be bitten by a snake. The day when the Lord judges will be dark, very dark, without a ray of light. 21 I, the Lord, hate and despise your religious celebrations and your times of worship. I won’t accept your offerings or animal sacrifices, not even your very best. No more of your noisy songs! I won’t listen when you play your harps. But let justice and fairness flow like a river that never runs dry. (NOTICE!! God told his people Israel) Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Amos 5 verse 7 to 24.
455B: “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets. Says Christ. Matthew 7 verse 12.
456: You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Says Christ. New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 7 verse 13 to 14.
457: Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. 21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Says Christ. New Living Translation Bible. Matthew 7 verse 15 to 23.
458: In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. 5 We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. Says in New Living Translation bible and in Good News Translation bible for the best understanding. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 4 to 5.
458B We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us, and by our sincere love. 7 We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense. Says in New Living Translation bible and in Good News Translation bible for the best understanding. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 6 to 7.
458C: Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything. Says in New Living Translation Bible for the best understanding. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 9 to 10.
458D: Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? 16 And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they will be my people. 2 Corinthians 6 verse 14 to 16.
458E: Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. 2 I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you were not ready for anything stronger. And you still are not ready, 3 for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Does that not prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Are you not living like people of the world? 4 When one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos”—aren't you acting like worldly people? 5 After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are simply God's servants, by whom you were led to believe. Each one of us does the work which the Lord gave him to do: 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plant, but it was God who made the plant grow. 7 The one who plants and the one who waters really do not matter. It is God who matters, because he makes the plant grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9 For we are both God’s workers. You are God’s building. Says 1 Corinthians 3 verse 1 to 9.
458F: Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 17 God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. Says 1 Corinthians 3 verse 16.
458G: Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.” 20 And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise; he knows they are worthless.” 21 So don’t boast about following a particular human leader. Says New Living Translation Bible. 1 Corinthians 3 verse 18 to 21.
459: Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” Says Christ. John 11 verse 25 to 26.
460: Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Do not look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Says Good News Translation Bible, or New Living Translation bible for the best understanding. Philippians 2 verse 3 to 5.
460B: He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God. 7 Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant. He became like a human being and appeared in human likeness. 8 He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death, his death on the cross. Says Good News Translation Bible. Philippians 2 verse 6 to 8.
461: For this reason, God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name. 10 And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees, 11 and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Says, Philippians 2 verse 9 to 11.
462: Whoever teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching of our religion 4 is swollen with pride and knows nothing. He has an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words, and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 3 to 4.
463: and perpetual friction between men who are corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, who think that godliness is a source of profit, a lucrative, money-making business, withdraw from them. Says in Amplified Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 6 verse 5.
464: and constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich. 6 Well, religion does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. 1 Timothy 6 verse 5 to 6.
465: What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What can we take out of the world? Nothing! 8 So then, if we have food and clothes, that should be enough for us. 9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil. Some have been so eager to have it that they have wandered away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many sorrows. 11 But you, man of God, avoid all these things. Strive for righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Run your best in the race of faith, and win eternal life for yourself; for it was to this life that God called you when you firmly professed your faith before many witnesses. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 7 to 12.
466: Verse 17, teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment, says N L T. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share with others. 19 In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 17 to 19.
467: Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” 21 For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith. Says Good News Translation Bible. 1 Timothy 6 verse 20 to 21.
468: 15 I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! 16 But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich and well off; I have all I need.’ But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind. 18 I advise you, then, to buy gold from me, pure gold, in order to be rich. Buy also white clothing to dress yourself and cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy also some ointment to put on your eyes, so that you may see. 19 I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins. 20 Listen! I stand at the door and knock; if any hear my voice and open the door, I will come into their house and eat with them, and they will eat with me. 21 To those who win the victory I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on his throne. 22 “If you have ears, then, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches! Says Christ. Revelation 3 verse 15 to 22. The end.
469: To those who win the victory I will give the right to sit beside me on my throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on his throne. Says Christ. Revelation 3 verse 21.

471: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves. 3 “Worship no god but me. 4 “Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. 5 Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation. Says Good News Translation Bible. Exodus 20 verse 2 to 5.
472: You will always have poor people with you, but you will not always have me. Says John 12 verse 8.

472C: I know about your suffering and your poverty, but you are rich! I know the blasphemy of those opposing you. They say they are Jews, but they are not, because their synagogue belongs to Satan. Says Christ. Revelation 2 verse 9.
473: Don't be afraid of anything you are about to suffer. Listen! The Devil will put you to the test by having some of you thrown into prison, and your troubles will last ten days. Be faithful to me, even if it means death, and I will give you life as your prize of victory. Says Christ. Revelation 2 verse 10.
474: Stop believing those deceitful words, ‘We are safe! This is the Lord's Temple, this is the Lord's Temple, this is the Lord's Temple!’ 5 “Change the way you are living and stop doing the things you are doing. Be fair in your treatment of one another. 6 Stop taking advantage of aliens, orphans, and widows. Stop killing innocent people in this land. Stop worshiping other gods, for that will destroy you. 7 If you change, I will let you go on living here in the land which I gave your ancestors as a permanent possession. 8 “Look, you put your trust in deceitful words. 9 You steal, murder, commit adultery, tell lies under oath, offer sacrifices to Baal, and worship gods that you had not known before. 10 You do these things I hate, and then you come and stand in my presence, in my own Temple, and say, ‘We are safe!’ 11 Do you think that my Temple is a hiding place for robbers? I have seen what you are doing. 12 Go to Shiloh, the first place where I chose to be worshiped, and see what I did to it because of the sins of my people Israel. 13 You have committed all these sins, and even though I spoke to you over and over again, you refused to listen. You would not answer when I called you. 14 And so, what I did to Shiloh I will do to this Temple of mine, in which you trust. Here in this place that I gave to your ancestors and you, I will do the same thing that I did to Shiloh. 15 I will drive you out of my sight as I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel. I, the Lord, have spoken. Says in Good News Translation Bible for the best explanation. Jeremiah 7 verse 4 to 15.
474B. Notice!! New Living Translation Bible says in verse 4 to 7 of Jeremiah 7: But don’t be fooled by those who promise you safety simply because the Lord’s Temple is here. They chant, “The Lord’s Temple is here! The Lord’s Temple is here!” 5 But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice; 6 only if you stop exploiting foreigners, orphans, and widows; only if you stop your murdering; and only if you stop harming yourselves by worshiping idols. 7 Then I will let you stay in this land that I gave to your ancestors to keep forever.
475: Then I will destroy this Temple as I destroyed Shiloh, the place where the Tabernacle was located. And I will make Jerusalem an object of cursing in every nation on earth. (Notice!!

481: A Christian wife or husband can marry an unbeliever and God can through him or her accept the other person. He or she should not divorce him or her. (Notice!! This is just a Summary of the reading) Says 1 Corinthians 7 verse 12 to 14.
482: I don’t know of anything that the Lord said about people who have never been married. But I will tell you what I think. And you can trust me, because the Lord has treated me with kindness. Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 7:25.
483: We are now going through hard times, and I think it is best for you to stay as you are. 27 If you are married, stay married. If you are not married, don’t try to get married. 28 It isn’t wrong to marry, even if you have never been married before. But those who marry will have a lot of trouble, and I want to protect you from that. 29 My friends, what I mean is that the Lord will soon come, and it won’t matter if you are married or not. 30 It will be all the same if you are crying or laughing, or if you are buying or are completely broke. 31 It won’t make any difference how much good you are getting from this world or how much you like it. This world as we know it is now passing away. (Notice!!! Paul gives his opinion) Says in Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. 1 Corinthians 7 verse 26 to 31.
484: Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. Says Proverbs 24 verse 17.
484B: Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob I would give to their descendants. I have let you see it, but I will not let you go there.”5 So Moses, the Lord's servant, died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said he would. (Notice: This was as God took him to Mount Nebo) Says Deuteronomy 34 verse 1 to 5.
485: There has never been a prophet in Israel like Moses; the Lord spoke with him face-to-face. Says Deuteronomy 34 verse 10.
486: The Lord said to Moses, take the stick that is in front of the Covenant Box, and assemble the whole community. In front of them all speak to the rock there, and water will gush out of it for the people to drink. Moses assembled the people in front of the rock and said, “Listen, you rebels! Do we have to get water out of this rock for you?” Moses raised the stick and struck the rock twice with it, and a great stream of water gushed out, and all the people and their animals drank. But God told Moses and Aaron, “because you did not have enough faith to acknowledge my holy power before the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land that I promised to give them.” Says Numbers 20 verse 7 to 12.
487: The Lord says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house, then, could you build for me, what kind of place for me to live in? 2 I myself created the whole universe! I am pleased with those who are humble and repentant, who fear me and obey me. Says Isaiah 66 verse 1 to 2.

Says Christ, in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 4 verse 18.
489: Notice!!! Christ drove out Demonic witches spirit inside a man. And also he healed those who were demonic bound too and healed everyone who was sick that came to him there. Luke 4 verse 31 to 41. the end.
491: Verse says 15: For he said to Moses, I will have mercy on anyone I wish, I will take pity on anyone I wish. Notice!! From verse 25 says: This is what he says in the book of Hosea: The people who were not mine I will call ‘My People. The nation that I did not love I will call ‘My Beloved. 26 And in the very place where they were told, ‘You are not my people, there they will be called the children of the living God. 27 And Isaiah exclaims about Israel: Even if the people of Israel are as many as the grains of sand by the sea, yet only a few of them will be saved. 30 So we say that the Gentiles, who were not trying to put themselves right with God, were put right with him through faith; 31 while God's people, the Israel who were seeking a law that would put them right with God, did not find it. 32 And why not? Because they did not depend on faith but on what they did. And so they stumbled over the “stumbling stone. Romans 9 verse 15 to 33. The end.
492: Notice!! This above was referring to what God told Moses in Exodus 33 verse 19.

496: Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death, and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. Says Good News Translation Bible. Hebrews 2 verse 14 to 15.
497: For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened, those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come, 6 and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance, by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame. Says New Living Translation Bible. Hebrews 6 verse 4 to 6.
498: Honor the Lord, all his people, those who obey him have all they need. 10 Even lions go hungry for lack of food, but those who obey the Lord lack nothing good. Says Psalm 34 verse 9 to 10.

They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. 15 Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie or practice falsehood. Says Christ, in New International Version Bible and New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Revelation 22 verse 14 to 15.

Notice!! Apostles did such argument again about who is the greatest, in Luke 22 verse 24 to 27.
502: John spoke up, “Master, we saw a man driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group. 50 “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus said to him and to the other disciples, “because whoever is not against us is for us.” Says in King James Version Bible for the best explanation. Luke 9 verse 49 to 50.
502B: Notice!! So, it does not matter if you belong to a church group, so long as you use Christ’s name in truth.
503: Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But the people of the village did not receive Christ, because he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them just as Elijah did?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village. Says Christ in King James Version Bible or New King James Version Bible for the best explanation, Luke 9 verse 51 to 56.
504: As they went on their way, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lie down and rest.” Says Luke 9 verse 57 to 58.
507: As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind. 2 His disciples asked him, “Teacher, whose sin caused him to be born blind? Was it his own or his parents' sin?” 3 Jesus answered, “His blindness has nothing to do with his sins or his parents' sins. He is blind so that God's power might be seen at work in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me; night is coming when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light for the world.” 6 After he said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; he rubbed the mud on the man's eyes 7 and told him, “Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam.” (This name means “Sent.”) So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing. Says John 9 verse 1 to 7.
508: When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 The man answered, “Tell me who he is, sir, so that I can believe in him!” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have already seen him, and he is the one who is talking with you now.” 38 “I believe, Lord!” the man said, and knelt down before Jesus. Says John 9 verse 35 to 39.
Notice!! These show that the poor and seek are there so that through us healing them first and giving them Christ they will be ok and converted.
509: We know that God does not listen to sinners, he does listen to people who respect him and do what he wants them to do. Says John 9 verse 31.
510: For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others. 11 Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves. 12 People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish. 13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. 14 They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions. 16 Don't be upset when someone becomes rich, when his wealth grows even greater; 17 he cannot take it with him when he dies; his wealth will not go with him to the grave. 18 Even if someone is satisfied with this life and is praised because he is successful, 19 he will join all his ancestors in death, where the darkness lasts forever. 20 Our greatness cannot keep us from death; we will still die like the animals. Says in Good News Translation Bible and New International Version Bible for the best explanation. Psalm 49 verse 10 to 20 the end.
511: Each one of you says something different. One says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Peter”; and another, “I follow Christ.” 13 Christ has been divided into groups! Was it Paul who died on the cross for you? Were you baptized as Paul's disciples? Notice!! Paul asked. 1 Corinthians 1 verse 12 to 13.
512: 18 For the message about Christ's death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is God's power. 19 The scripture says, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars.” God has shown that this world's wisdom is foolishness! 21 For God in his wisdom made it impossible for people to know him by means of their own wisdom. Instead, by means of the so-called “foolish” message we preach, God decided to save those who believe. 22 Jews want miracles for proof, and Greeks look for wisdom. 23 As for us, we proclaim the crucified Christ, a message that is offensive to the Jews and nonsense to the Gentiles; 24 but for those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, this message is Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For what seems to be God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 27 God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. 28 He chose what the world looks down on and despises and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important. 29 This means that no one can boast in God's presence. 30 But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God's holy people and are set free. 1 Corinthians 1 verse 18 to 30. The end.
512B: Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu put coals of fire in their incense burners and sprinkled incense over them. In this way, they disobeyed the Lord by burning before him the wrong kind of fire, different than he had commanded. 2 Suddenly God sent fire, and it destroyed them to death there in the presence of the Lord, and they died there before The Lord. Says (Douay-Rheims Bible translation) for the best explanation) Leviticus 10 verse 1 to 2.
513: The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of Aaron’s two sons who died after they entered the Lord’s presence and burned the wrong kind of fire before him. 2 The Lord said to Moses, “Warn your brother, Aaron, not to enter the Most Holy Place behind the inner curtain whenever he chooses; if he does, he will die. For the Ark’s cover the place of atonement is there, and I myself am present in the cloud above the atonement cover. New Living Translation Bible. Leviticus 16 verse 1 to 2.
513B: When Aaron enters the sanctuary area, he must follow these instructions fully. He shall bring a bull for a sin offering to take away his sins and his family’s sins, to make them right with God. A goat is to be offered as a sin offering to God, 15 and the goat's blood will also be sprinkled over the atonement cover. 16 Through this process, he will purify the Most Holy Place, and he will do the same for the entire Tabernacle, because of the Israelites’ sins. 10 Another goat which will be a scapegoat chosen for Azazel shall be presented alive to the Lord. 21 Aaron the priest hall put both of his hands on the goat's head and confess over it all the sins of the people of Israel, and so transfer the sins to the goat's head. Then the goat is to be sent off into a desert, to Azazel, in order to take away the sins of the people of Israel, for them to be purified right with God. 13 The priest will also burn incense where the Ark of the covenant was kept which is a place of the atonement in God’s presence. 14 The priest must take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it on the atonement cover. 24 Then Aaron must bathe himself with water and change his clothes and go out to sacrifice a burnt offering for himself and a burnt offering for the people. Through this process he will purify himself and the people, making them right with the Lord. 25 He must then burn all the fat of the sin offering on the altar. (Notice!! These are some duties of the priests and Levites in the Old Testament) To read it in full details visit, Leviticus chapter 16.
513C: Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel climbed up the mountain and saw the God of Israel. They saw God, and they ate and drank together. Says Exodus 24 verse 9 to 11.
Notice!! If Nadab and Abihu the sons of Aaron could see God and ate and drank with him and yet God destroyed them for their unfaithfulness, this shows that one can be a friend of God today, and if he goes evil he maybe destroyed by God again. Some bible translations called them noble men who saw God.
513D: God of Israel specifically chose Aaron and his four sons which were Nadab the most senior, Abihu the 2nd, Eleazar and Ithamar to be priests to minister for him before the Israelites forever. In Exodus 28 verse 1, and in Exodus 29 verse 9.
514: He abandoned his tent in Shiloh, the home where he had lived among us. Says in Good News Translation or New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Psalm 78 verse 60.
514B: He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes. 56 But they kept testing and rebelling against God Most High. They did not obey his laws. 57 They turned back and were as faithless as their parents. They were as undependable as a crooked bow. 58 They angered God by building shrines to other gods; they made him jealous with their idols. 59 When God heard them, he was very angry, and he completely rejected Israel his people. 60 Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people. 61 He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured; he surrendered his glory into enemy hands. 62 He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword, because he was so angry with his own people his special possession. 63 Their young men were killed by fire; their young women died before singing their wedding songs. 64 Their priests were slaughtered, and their widows could not mourn their deaths. Psalm 78 verse 55 to 65. The end.
515: God Almighty rejected the Israelites for chatting the poor, and trampling down the needy and not being honest to one another. So because of that he specifically said that their singing in the temple will be like crying, and that dead bodies will be scattered everywhere. He told them that they can’t wait for the Sabbath day to be over and the religious festivals to end so that they can get back to cheating the helpless. How very bitter that day will be! 11 “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from border to border searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 13 Beautiful girls and strong young men will grow faint in that day, thirsting for the Lord’s word. Say God Almighty. Amos 8 verse 1 to 14. The end.
516: “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread or water but of hearing the words of the Lord. Amos 8 verse 11.
Notice: Read it down, God’s people were killed by their enemies for their sins.
517: I create both light and darkness; I bring both blessing and disaster. I, the LORD, do all these things. Says Good News Translation Bible. Isaiah 45 verse 7.
517B: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Says King James Versioin Bible. Isaiah 45 verse 7.
518: Then this message came to me from the Lord: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds. Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord: What sorrow awaits you shepherds who feed yourselves instead of your flocks. Shouldn’t shepherds feed their sheep? 3 You drink the milk, wear the wool, and butcher the best animals, but you let your flocks starve. 4 You have not taken care of the weak. You have not tended the sick or bound up the injured. You have not gone looking for those who have wandered away and are lost. Instead, you have ruled them with harshness and cruelty. 5 So my sheep have been scattered without a shepherd, and wild animals killed and ate them. 7 “Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, you abandoned my flock and left them to be attacked by every wild animal. And though you were my shepherds, you didn’t search for my sheep when they were lost. You took care of yourselves and left the sheep to starve. 9 So listen to me, you shepherds. 10 I, the Sovereign Lord, declare that I am your enemy. I will take my sheep away from you and never again let you be their shepherds; never again will I let you take care only of yourselves. I will rescue my sheep from you and not let you eat them. 11 “I myself will look for my sheep and take care of them. Ezekiel Chapter 34.
519: Many people ran to the sea shore to wait for Christ, and he got out of the boat and began to preach to them there. 35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. 36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” 37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!” 38 “How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.” They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.” 39 Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred. 41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share. 42 They all ate as much as they wanted. Says Mark 6 verse 33 to 42.
520: On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. Others say that they were drunk. Peter stepped forward with the eleven other apostles and told the people that no, that they were not drunk. That it had been prophesied by prophet Joel. 17 ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants— men and women alike— and they will prophesy. 32 “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this. 33 Now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God’s right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today. Says Acts 2 verse 1 to 33.
Notice!! These above show that after the death of Christ God poured out holy spirit on everyone as says from verse 17 of Acts chapter 2, so that they can see visions, prophesy, dream dreams and etc.
521C: And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. Says Acts 2 verse 44 to 45. The end.
521: Study to shew thyself approved unto God. Says King James Version Bible for the best explanation, 2 Timothy 2 verse 15.
522: About that time King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church. 2 He had the apostle James (John’s brother) killed with a sword. 3 When Herod saw how much this pleased the Jewish people, he also arrested Peter. Notice!! Reading this down explains how he imprisoned Peter and how Holy Spirit rescued Peter from the prison, and he was still searching for Peter and even killed the prison guards for that. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation, Acts 12 verse 1 to 18.
523: By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.” Says New Living Translation Bible, Genesis 3 verse 19.
524: God sent Prophet Nathan to King David. He told David, a rich man has many animals, but a poor man has only one lamb. One day the rich man had a guest and instead of the rich man to kill from his many animals he took from the poor man's only loving lamb and killed it for his guest. David vowed with God's name that such a rich wicked man would surely die. Prophet Nathan told David that it was him. God says, ‘I made you king of Israel and rescued you from Saul. 8 I gave you his kingdom and his wives; If this had not been enough, I would have given you twice as much. 10 From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own. You let the Ammonites kill him, and then you took his wife! 11 “This is what the Lord says: Because of what you have done, I will cause your own household to rebel against you. I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view. 12 You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.” 13 Then David confessed to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied, “Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin. 14 Nevertheless, because you didn’t care what the Lord wanted by doing this, your child will die.” The child died later. 24 David got Bathsheba pregnant again and she bore Solomon. 2 Samuel chapter 12.
525: The godly care about the rights of the poor, the wicked don’t care at all. Proverbs 29 verse 7.
526: Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.” Genesis 6 verse 3.
527: The LORD observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and he was so filled with regret. Genesis 6 verse 5 to 6.
Notice!! Reading down of this Genesis chapter 6 described how God Almighty destroyed the previous world, but saved only Noah the righteous man and his family.
528: Old testament scriptures also prophesied about Christ's coming, how he will be killed because of our sins, yet he did not sin, and how he will bear the sins of the world and be buried like a criminal. It says that his life is made an offering for our sins. It also says that there was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. Prophesied by prophet Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 53.
529: With strong arguments Apollos defeated the Jews in public debates by proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah. Notice!! Verse 28 is the main verse. Acts chapter 18.
530: People of Israel have zeal for God, but it is misdirected zeal which is not based on knowledge. 3 For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. 5 For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. 6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” 8 In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart. And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him which he saves them. Says New Living Translation Bible for the best explanation. Romans 10 verse 1 to 13.
530C: Verse 4, but Christ makes the Law no longer necessary for those who become acceptable to God by faith. 5 Moses said a person could become acceptable to God by obeying the Law. He did this when he wrote, “If you want to live, you must do all the Law commands.” So do not doubt about Christ, just believe in him and believe in his death and you will be saved and as you preach it to others. Says Contemporary English Version Bible for the best explanation. Romans 10 verse 4 to 10.
Notice!! In Romans chapter 10 you just red above from verse 5 are just summaries that we removed from the whole chapter.
531: Ezra had devoted his life to studying God's command, to practice them, and to teach them to the people of Israel. Says Ezra chapter 7 verse 10.
532: Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. Says Proverbs chapter 23.
533: I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, or according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. Says Revelation chapter 20 verse 12.
534: When God says (Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm) he was warning the kings of different lands to not touch his people the entire Israelites while they were going to the promised land from Egypt. So everyone in Christ is anointed, but not only the pastors that this is concerning. It is written in Psalm chapter 105 verse 15, precisely.
535: Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. 22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Says Christ. Matthew 21 verse 21 to 22.
535B: “But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. 30 Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go. 31 “Which of the two obeyed his father?” They replied, “The first.” Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. 32 For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn’t believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins. Says Christ. Matthew 21 verse 28 to 32.
536: Notice!! Christ is not supporting sin or prostitution here, but he means that such people who repent will make heaven than his followers who refused to repent.
537: One day as Christ was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. 2 He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 Stepping into one of the boats, Christ asked Simon who was the owner of the boat, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” 5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.” 6 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! 7 A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking. 8 When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me, I’m such a sinful man.” 9 For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him. 10 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed. Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus. Luke 5 verse 1 to 11.
Notice!! This exact above teaches that Christ did not need a church temple to have preached to Simon Peter who was a sinner and to preach to the crowds too as he converted Simon Peter that day along with James and John whose boat was used that day to catch the large amount of fish with Peter’s boat.
538: Christ healed a leprous man and told him to go and offer sacrifices as commanded by the Old Testament law God gave through Moses for those who have been healed of leprosy. Luke 5 verse 12 to 14.
539: God Almighty’s commands to Moses concerning a leprosy person. A leprosy person shall be brought to a priest and the priest shall go outside the camp to examine him or her. If the leprosy is healed the priest shall command the leper to bring two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop, for cleaning him. The priest will command that one of the birds be killed in a clay pot filled with fresh water. 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 7 And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field. 8 He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days. 9 But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean. 10 “And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs with no defects, and one year old female lamb with no defects, three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering, and a cup of olive oil. 11 Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it as a trespass offering, and the olive oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. 13 Then he shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so is the trespass offering. It is a most holy offering. 14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 15 “Then the priest will pour some of the olive oil into the palm of his own left hand. 16 Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the olive oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord. 17 And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering. 18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. Through this process, the priest will purify the leprous person before God Almighty. 19 “Then the priest must present the sin offering to purify the person who was cured of the leprosy. After that, the priest will slaughter the burnt offering 20 and offer it on the altar along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the person who was healed of leprosy, and the person will be ceremonially clean. 21 “ But anyone who is too poor and cannot afford these offerings may bring one male lamb for a guilt offering which has to be used on him similar to the lamb as described above, and must also include two turtledoves or two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. One of the pair must be used for the sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. 30 “Then the priest will offer the two turtledoves or the two young pigeons, whichever the person can afford. 31 One of them is for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, to be presented along with the grain offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the leprous person before the Lord. 32: These is the law for a leprous person to be cleansed by a priest. Notice!! We cut many verses here to make it shorter as a summary. King James Version Bible for the best translation. Leviticus 14 verse 1 to 32.
540: Law of molded house or leprous house as God Almighty says it should be knocked down if priest finds it molded. New International Version Bible. Leviticus 14 verse 1 to 33 to 57.
