2.12  Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,  13  for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 14  Do all things without grumbling or disputing,  15  that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of...

2.5  Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,  6  who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,  7  but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.  8  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  9  Therefore God...

121.1  I lift up my eyes to the hills.     From where does my help come? 2  My help comes from the Lord,     who made heaven and earth. 3  He will not let your foot be moved;     he who keeps you will not slumber. 4  Behold, he who keeps Israel     will neither slumber nor sleep. 5  The Lord is your keeper;     the Lord is your shade on your right hand. 6  The sun shall not strike you by day,     ...

The Song of Moses 15.1  Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;     the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. 2  The Lord is my strength and my song,     and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him,     my father's God, and I will exalt him. 3  The Lord is a man of war...

14.13  And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.  14  The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” 15  The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward.  16  Lift up your staff, and stretch out your h...

Pillars of Cloud and Fire 17  When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, “Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt.”  18  But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle. ...

13.1  The Lord said to Moses,  2  “Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine.” 3  Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.  4  Today, in...

2.1  So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,  2  complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.  3  Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.  4  Let each of you look not only to his own int...

12.1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. 3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest n...

7:17 Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood... 8:5 And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the canals and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt!’” 8:16 Then the Lord said to...

7.1  And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet.  2  You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land.  3  But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,  4  Pharaoh will not listen to you....

10  So the Lord said to Moses,  11  “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.”  12  But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?”  13  But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egy...

1.27  Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,  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...

The Resurrection of the Dead 15.12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testi...

21.1  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  This took pl...

6.1  But the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.” 2  God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord.  3  I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them.  4  I also established my coven...

1.12  I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,  13  so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.  14  And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15  Some indeed preach Christ f...

5.1  Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”  2  But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.”  3  Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go...

4.18  Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please let me go back to my brothers in Egypt to see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”  19  And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”  20  So Moses took his wife and his sons and had them ride on a donkey, and went back to th...

4 .1 Then Moses answered, “But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’”  2  The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.”  3  And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it.  4  But the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it...

3.13  Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14  God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”  15  God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your f...

2.23  During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God.  24  And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.  25  God saw the people of Israel—and God knew. 3.1  Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law,...

2.11  One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people.  12  He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.  13  When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike y...

1.9  And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,  10  so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,  11  filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

1.22  Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.” 2.1  Now a man from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman.  2  The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. 3  When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a...
