Hebrews 6 11. And we desire that every one of
you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end:
12. That you be not slothful, but imitators of them who through faith
and patience inherit the promises.
Colossians 3 23. And whatsoever you do, do it
heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men; 24. Knowing that of the Lord
you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord
Christ. 25. But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he
has done: and there is no respect of persons.
John 8 31. Then said Jesus to those Jews which
believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples
indeed; 32. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free. 33. They answered him, We are Abraham's descendant, and were never
in bondage to any man: how do you say say, You shall be made free?
34.
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whosoever commits sin
is the servant of sin. 35. And the servant abided not in the house for
ever: but the Son abides ever. 36. If the Son therefore shall make you
free, you shall be free indeed.
2 Peter 19. While they promise them liberty,
they themselves are the servants of corruption:
for of whom a man is
overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20. For if after they
have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and
overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21. For
it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness,
than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment
delivered unto them.
Romans 2 ....and revelation of the
righteous judgment of God; 6. Who will render to every man according to
his deeds: 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for
glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: 8. But to them that are
contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath, 9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of
man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10. But
glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first,
and also to the Gentile: 11. For there is no respect of persons with
God.
1 Corinthians 6 9. Don't you know that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.
Galatians 5 19. Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, 20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envying's, murders, drunkenness,
raveling's, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have
also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law. 24. And they that are Christ's
have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts
Ephesians 5 1. You be therefore imitators of
God, as dear children; 2. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet smelling savor. 3. But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as is fitting saints;
4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not
convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5. For this you know, that no
whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6. Let no man
deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath
of God upon the children of disobedience. 7. Don't be therefore
partakers with them. 8. For you were sometimes darkness, but now are you
light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9. (For the fruit of the
Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10. Proving what
is acceptable unto the Lord. 11. And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Hebrews 12 13. And make straight paths for your
feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it
rather be healed. 14. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord: 15. Looking diligently lest any man
fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up
trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16. Lest there be any sexually
immoral, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his
birthright. 17. For you know how that afterward, when he would have
inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Revelation 2: 1 To the angel of the church of
Ephesus write; These things said he that holds the seven stars in his
right hand, who walks in the middle of the seven golden candlesticks; 2
I know your works, and your labor, and your patience, and how you can
not bear them which are evil: and you have tried them which say they are
apostles, and are not, and have found them liars: 3 And have borne, and
have patience, and for my name's sake have labored, and have not
fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against you, because you have
left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you are fallen,
and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come to you quickly,
and will remove your candlestick out of his place, except you repent. 6
But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I
also hate. 7 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to
the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of
life, which is in the middle of the paradise of God.
8 And to the angel
of the church in Smyrna write; These things said the first and the last,
which was dead, and is alive; 9 I know your works, and tribulation, and
poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say
they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none
of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast
some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have
tribulation ten days: be you faithful to death, and I will give you a
crown of life. 11 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said
to the churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second
death.
12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things
said he which has the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know your works,
and where you dwell, even where Satan's seat is: and you hold fast my
name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas
was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. 14
But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that
hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block
before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to
commit fornication. 15 So have you also them that hold the doctrine of
the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come to
you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches;
To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will
give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no
man knows saving he that receives it.
18 And to the angel of the church
in Thyatira write; These things said the Son of God, who has his eyes
like to a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19 I know
your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and
your works; and the last to be more than the first. 20 Notwithstanding I
have a few things against you, because you suffer that woman Jezebel,
which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to
commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave
her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold,
I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into
great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill
her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he
which searches the reins and hearts: and I will give to every one of you
according to your works. 24 But to you I say, and to the rest in
Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known
the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put on you none other burden.
25 But that which you have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that
overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him will I give power over
the nations: 27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the
vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received
of my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He that has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches. AKJV
Revelation 3 1 And to the angel of the church in
Sardis write; These things said he that has the seven Spirits of God,
and the seven stars; I know your works, that you have a name that you
live, and are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which
remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect
before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and
hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on
you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come on you. 4
You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their
garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5
He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I
will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess
his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that has an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit said to the churches.
7 And to the angel of
the church in Philadelphia write; These things said he that is holy, he
that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens, and no man
shuts; and shuts, and no man opens; 8 I know your works: behold, I have
set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a
little strength, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name. 9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are
Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and
worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because
you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the
hour of temptation, which shall come on all the world, to try them that
dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you
have, that no man take your crown. 12 Him that overcomes will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will
write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God,
which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God: and
I will write on him my new name. 13 He that has an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit said to the churches.
14 And to the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write; These things said the Amen, the faithful and
true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know your
works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot.
16 So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spew you out of my mouth. 17 Because you say, I am rich, and increased
with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel
you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white
raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness
do not appear; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me. 21 To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in
my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in
his throne. 22 He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said to
the churches. AKJV
Romans 12 21. Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.
1 John 4 4. You are of God, little children, and
have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that
is in the world.
