Luke 18:10“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.Luke 18:11The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.Luke 18:12I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’Luke 18:13But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’Luke 18:14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”Luke 18:18A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”Luke 18:19Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God.Luke 18:20You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”Luke 18:21He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”Luke 18:22When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.”Luke 18:23But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.John 8:33They answered him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free?’”John 8:34Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.John 8:35A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.John 8:36If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.John 8:37I know that you are Abraham’s seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.John 8:38I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”John 8:39They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.John 8:40But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.John 8:41You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”John 8:42Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.John 8:43Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.John 8:44You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.John 8:45But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.John 8:46Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?John 8:47He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”John 8:48Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”John 8:49Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.John 8:50But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.John 8:51Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”John 8:52Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’John 8:53Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”John 8:54Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.John 8:55You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.John 8:56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad.”John 8:57The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”John 8:58Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”John 8:59Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through their midst, and so passed by.John 9:28They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.John 9:29We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”John 9:30The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.John 9:31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.John 9:32Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.John 9:33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”John 9:34They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.John 9:39Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”John 9:40Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”John 9:41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.Romans 2:17Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,Romans 2:18and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,Romans 2:19and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,Romans 2:20a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.Romans 3:27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.Romans 10:3For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.Romans 11:19You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”Romans 11:20True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;Romans 11:21for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.2 Corinthians 1:9Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,2 Corinthians 10:17But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”2 Corinthians 10:18For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
