Amshir 5, 1744

8Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.

6I said, "You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.

15Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

16Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

17got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

18Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.

19So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.

20But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

21Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

105Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

135Make Your face shine upon Your servant, And teach me Your statutes.

51Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."

52Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

53Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?"

54Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

55Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, "I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.

56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

57Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

58Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

59Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

11But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

12For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside?

13But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."

1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

4If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

5I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

6But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!

7Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated?

8No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!

9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

11And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

14Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

15and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

16as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

17You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

18but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
