God’s

“Listen to us, sir. You are God’s chosen one among us. Bury your dead in the finest of our tombs. None of us will withhold his tomb for burying your dead.”

And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder.

And this stone I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth.”

Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”

Then God’s anger was kindled because Balaam was going along, and the angel of the LORD stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

…you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.

The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.

Now Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news of the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she collapsed and gave birth, for her labor pains overtook her.

But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die—he who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God’s help he has accomplished this today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would cut off both me and my son from God’s inheritance.’

Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple;

Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?

He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.

The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.

He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.

“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf.

Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like His?

He is the foremost of God’s works; only his Maker can draw the sword against him.

My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

…until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.

They failed to keep God’s covenant and refused to live by His law.

God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.

Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

So I took all this to heart and concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their deeds, are in God’s hands. Man does not know what lies ahead, whether love or hate.

…to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,

I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath.

“But ask now for God’s favor. Will He be gracious? Since this has come from your hands, will He show you favor?” asks the LORD of Hosts.

But I tell you not to swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it.

Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

For those will be days of tribulation unseen from the beginning of God’s creation until now, and never to be seen again.

And all humanity will see God’s salvation.’”

All the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice. For they had received the baptism of John.

But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.

But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.

But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”

…in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.

And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?

However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.

…because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.

Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

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

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.

For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of retribution to the wrongdoer.

This is also why you pay taxes. For the authorities are God’s servants, who devote themselves to their work.

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

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

…so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

…so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what counts.

As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.

For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. For we are also weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him concerning you.

For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. For we are also weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him concerning you.

In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

…who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

…which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
