1 Corinthians 14:20-40 20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.  21 In the Law it is written: “With other tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, i...

1 Corinthians 14:6-19 6 Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?  7 Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the pipe or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?  8 Again, if the trumpet...

1 Corinthians 14 1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.  2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.  3 But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging and comfort.  4 Anyone who speaks in a tongue edifies themselves, but...

1 Corinthians 13 1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do...

The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of g...

1 John 1:5-10 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.  6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.  7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.  8 If we...

1 Peter 1:13-25 13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.  14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.  15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;  16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 17 Since you c...

Acts 9:1-19 1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest  2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.  3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him...

Why do you alone sit as judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?” 15 Moses answered him, “Because the p...

Exodus 18:1-12 1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her  3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land”;  4 and...

Exodus 17:8-16 8 The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.  9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites.
