Luke 18:10‘Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;Luke 18:11the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;Luke 18:12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.Luke 18:13‘And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!Luke 18:14I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.’Luke 18:18And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, ‘Good teacher, what having done—shall I inherit life age-during?’Luke 18:19And Jesus said to him, ‘Why me dost thou call good? no one is good, except One—God;Luke 18:20the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.’Luke 18:21And he said, ‘All these I did keep from my youth;’Luke 18:22and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, ‘Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things—as many as thou hast—sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;’Luke 18:23and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.John 8:33They answered him, ‘Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say—Ye shall become free?’John 8:34Jesus answered them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you—Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,John 8:35and the servant doth not remain in the house—to the age, the son doth remain—to the age;John 8:36if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.John 8:37‘I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;John 8:38I—that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father—ye do.’John 8:39They answered and said to him, ‘Our father is Abraham;’ Jesus saith to them, ‘If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;John 8:40and now, ye seek to kill me—a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;John 8:41ye do the works of your father.’ They said, therefore, to him, ‘We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have—God;’John 8:42Jesus then said to them, ‘If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;John 8:43wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.John 8:44‘Ye are of a father—the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar—also his father.John 8:45‘And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.John 8:46Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?John 8:47he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.’John 8:48The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, ‘Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?’John 8:49Jesus answered, ‘I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;John 8:50and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;John 8:51verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see—to the age.’John 8:52The Jews, therefore, said to him, ‘Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death—to the age!John 8:53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?’John 8:54Jesus answered, ‘If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;John 8:55and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;John 8:56Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.’John 8:57The Jews, therefore, said unto him, ‘Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?’John 8:58Jesus said to them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham’s coming—I am;’John 8:59they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.John 9:28They reviled him, therefore, and said, ‘Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;John 9:29we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one—we have not known whence he is.’John 9:30The man answered and said to them, ‘Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!John 9:31and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;John 9:32from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;John 9:33if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.’John 9:34They answered and said to him, ‘In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!’ and they cast him forth without.John 9:39And Jesus said, ‘For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.’John 9:40And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, ‘Are we also blind?’John 9:41Jesus said to them, ‘If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say—We see, therefore doth your sin remain.Romans 2:17Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,Romans 2:18and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,Romans 2:19and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,Romans 2:20an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.Romans 3:27Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:Romans 10:3for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.Romans 11:19Thou wilt say, then, ‘The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;’ right!Romans 11:20by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;Romans 11:21for if God the natural branches did not spare—lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.2 Corinthians 1:9but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead,2 Corinthians 10:17and he who is boasting—in the Lord let him boast;2 Corinthians 10:18for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.
