Will

For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.

So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith

…and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.

…to be self-controlled, pure, managers of their households, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be discredited.

…and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

…not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.

Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need.

And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.

But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.

But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.

Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?

For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?

They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.

They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.

You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”

You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”

You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”

Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

…and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.

And this we will do, if God permits.

But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.

For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

…saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”

…but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”

But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.

For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.

No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

…how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,

…because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.

…so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.

Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

…but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.

For, “In just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.

But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”

But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he shrinks back, I will take no pleasure in him.”

…even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”

And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,

Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?

At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

…equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.

For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”

You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”

Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.

Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!

Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.

And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
