  • For one will scarcely die for a righteous
    personthough perhaps for a good person one would
    dare even to diebut God shows his love for us in
    that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
    us. (Romans 57-8 ESV)
  • among whom we all once lived in the passions of
    our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body
    and the mind, and were by nature children of
    wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being
    rich in mercy, because of the great love with
    which he loved us, even when we were dead in our
    trespasses, made us alive together with Christby
    grace you have been saved(Eph. 23-5 ESV)

  • How much worse punishment, do you think, will be
    deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot
    the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the
    covenant by which he was sanctified, and has
    outraged the Spirit of grace?
  • (Hebrews 1029 ESV)
  • What the true proverb says has happened to them
    The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow,
    after washing herself, returns to wallow in the
    mire.

  • But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
    through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my

    abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that
    in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
  • (1 Corinthians 1557-58 ESV)

  • You did not choose me, but I chose you and
    appointed you that you should go and bear fruit
    and that your fruit should abide, so that
    whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may
    give it to you. (John 1516 ESV)
  • even as he chose us in him before the
    foundation of the world, that we should be holy
    and blameless before him. In love
  • (Ephesians 14 ESV)

that they may all be one, just as you, Father,
are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in
us, so that the world may believe that you have
sent me. (John 1721 ESV)
15
  • Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in
    God believe also in me. (John 141 ESV)
  • Peace I leave with you my peace I give to you.
    Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not
    your hearts be troubled, neither let them be
    afraid. (John 1427 ESV)
  • But now I am going to him who sent me, and none
    of you asks me, Where are you going? But
    because I have said these things to you, sorrow
    has filled your heart. (John 165-6 ESV)

17
  • Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that
    it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot
    hear but your iniquities have made a separation
    between you and your God, and your sins have
    hidden his face from you so that he does not
    hear.
  • (Isaiah 591-2 ESV)

And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to
mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from
among you. (1 Corinthians 52 ESV)
18
  • For this reason the Father loves me, because I
    lay down my life that I may take it up again. No
    one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own
    accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I
    have authority to take it up again. This charge I
    have received from my Father. (John 1017-18
    ESV)

    rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer
    dishonor for the name. (Acts 541 ESV)
