Jeremiah 17:8He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.Jeremiah 17:9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?Jeremiah 17:10I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.Jeremiah 19:10Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,Jeremiah 19:11and you are to proclaim to them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will shatter this nation and this city, like one shatters a potter’s jar that can never again be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.Jeremiah 19:12This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.Jeremiah 19:13The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled like that place, Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops they burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out drink offerings to other gods.”Jeremiah 19:14Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and proclaimed to all the people,Jonah 4:10But the LORD said, “You cared about the plant, which you neither tended nor made grow. It sprang up in a night and perished in a night.Jonah 4:11So should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well?”Acts 10:10He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.Acts 10:11He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.Acts 10:12It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.Acts 10:13Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”Acts 10:14“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”Acts 10:15The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”Acts 10:16This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.Galatians 4:22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.Galatians 4:23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.Galatians 4:24These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.Galatians 4:25Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.Galatians 4:26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.Galatians 4:27For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”Galatians 4:28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.Galatians 4:29At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.Galatians 4:30But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”Galatians 4:31Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.2 Timothy 2:3Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.2 Timothy 2:4A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.2 Timothy 2:5Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.2 Timothy 2:6The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.2 Timothy 2:20A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use.2 Timothy 2:21So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.James 1:23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,James 1:24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.James 1:25But 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.
