Jeremiah 17:8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.Jeremiah 17:9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?Jeremiah 17:10I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.Jeremiah 19:10Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,Jeremiah 19:11and shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.Jeremiah 19:12Thus will I do to this place, says Yahweh, and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:Jeremiah 19:13and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.Jeremiah 19:14Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yahweh’s house, and said to all the people:Jonah 4:10Yahweh said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.Jonah 4:11Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”Acts 10:10He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.Acts 10:11He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,Acts 10:12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.Acts 10:13A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”Acts 10:14But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”Acts 10:15A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”Acts 10:16This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.Galatians 4:22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the free woman.Galatians 4:23However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.Galatians 4:24These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.Galatians 4:25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for she is in bondage with her children.Galatians 4:26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.Galatians 4:27For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear. Break forth and shout, you that don’t travail. For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband.”Galatians 4:28Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.Galatians 4:29But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.Galatians 4:30However what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman.”Galatians 4:31So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.2 Timothy 2:3You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.2 Timothy 2:4No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.2 Timothy 2:5Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.2 Timothy 2:6The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.2 Timothy 2:20Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.2 Timothy 2:21If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.James 1:23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;James 1:24for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.James 1:25But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
