The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2  O Lord, how long shall I cry for help,     and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!”     and you will not save? 3  Why do you make me see iniquity,     and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me;     strife and contention arise. 4  So the law is paralyzed,     and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround th...

4  John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,  5  and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.

Matthew 21:1-11 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,  2  saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.  3  If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.”  4  Th...

Luke 24:13-35 13  That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,  14  and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.  15  While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.  16  But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.  17  And he said to them, “What is this conversat...

Joshua 7:1-13 But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lordburned against the people of Israel. 2  Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men we...

2 Corinthians 10:1-5 & Philippians 3:17-19 I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—  2  I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.  3  For though we walk i...

1 John 4:7-12 7  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.  8  Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.  9  In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.  10  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us...

Revelation 2:1-7 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2  “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false.  3  I know you are endurin...

Psalm 139:1-18 1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2  You know when I sit down and when I rise up;     you discern my thoughts from afar. 3  You search out my path and my lying down     and are acquainted with all my ways. 4  Even before a word is on my tongue,     behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5  You hem me in, behind and before,     and lay your hand upon me. 6  Such knowledge...

2 Corinthians 8:1-9 1 We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia,  2  for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.  3  For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord,  4  begging us ear...

Matthew 18:15-20 15  “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16  But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.  17  If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church.

2 Chronicles 29:1-11 1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.  2  And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 3  In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord and rep...

Luke 2:10-20 10  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.  11  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  12  And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”  13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the h...

John 3:9-17 9  Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?”  10  Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?  11  Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you[ a ] do not receive our testimony.  12  If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell y...

John 1:14, John 18:37-38 14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son[ a ] from the Father, full of grace and truth. 37  Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the tru...

Galatians 3:28-4:7 28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  29  And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. 1  I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything,  2  but he is under guardia...

Philippians 1:28 - 2:11 28  and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29  For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,  30  engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have. 1  So if there i...

Matthew 6:5-13 5  “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.  6  But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 7  “And...

Colossians 2:6-10 6  Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7  rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 8  See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.  9  For in him the...
