Romans 8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,  2  because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3  For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the fles...

John 4:1-6   Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John—  2  although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.  3  So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. 4  Now he had to go through Samaria.  5  So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.  6  J...

John 3:31-36 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God give...

John 3:22-30 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. 23 Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before John was put in prison.) 25 An argument developed between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over the mat...

John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's o...

John 3:1-15  Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.  2  He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him." 3  Jesus replied,  "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." 4  "How...

John 2:13-25 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold...

John 2:1-12  On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." 4 "Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." 6 Nearby stood si...

John 1:43-51  The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me." 44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. 45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." 46 "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Natha...

John 1:40-42  Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter). W...

John 1:35-39  The next day John was there again (at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing) with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!" 37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means "Teacher"), "...

John 1:24-34  Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" 26 "I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie." 28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where J...

John 1:19-23  Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Messiah."     21 They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"     He said, "I am not."     "Are you the Prophet?"     He answered, "No."     22 Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to...

John 1:14-18  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15  (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, "This is the one I spoke about when I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' ")  16  Out of his fullness we have all received grac...

John 1:9-13     The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.  10  He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.  11  He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.  12  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—  13  children born no...

John 1:1-9 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6  There was a man sent from God whose name was Joh...

Psalm 34:15-22 15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,    and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil,    to blot out their name from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;     he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted     and saves those who are crushed in spirit. 19 The ri...

Psalm 34:8-14 8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;     blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. 9 Fear the LORD, you his holy people,     for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,     but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. 11 Come, my children, listen to me;     I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 Whoever of you loves life     and desires to se...

Psalm 33:16-19 No king is saved by the size of his army;    no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;     despite all its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,     on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death     and keep them alive in famine. What does this say about God? Abou...

Psalm 33:10-15 The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. 11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. 13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; 14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on eart...

  Psalm 33:6-9 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. 7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. 9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. What does this say about God? About people? What is your respons...

Psalm 33:1-5 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;     it is fitting for the upright to praise him. 2 Praise the LORD with the harp;     make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. 3 Sing to him a new song;     play skillfully, and shout for joy. 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;     he is faithful in all he does. 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;     the earth is full of...

Psalm 42:1-5 As the deer pants for streams of water,      so my soul pants for you, my God. 2  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.      When can I go and meet with God? 3  My tears have been my food      day and night, while people say to me all day long,      "Where is your God?" 4  These things I remember      as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God      under the pr...
