Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. ...

And when he had
given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this
in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper,

drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink
the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats

Hebrews
4:1-16 ESV / 11 helpful votes
Therefore, while
the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you
should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to
them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not
united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that
rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’”
although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has
somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh
day from all his works.” And again in this passage he said, “They shall not
enter my rest.” ...

with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the
appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. ...

in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not
wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth,
and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ...

The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa,
which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the
days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the

Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers.”
Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will
not revoke the punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing
sledges of iron. So I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, and it shall
devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad. I will break the gate-bar of Damascus, and
cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven, and him who holds the scepter
from Beth-eden; and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir,” says the
Lord. ...

James
4:1-17 ESV / 10 helpful votes
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is
it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not
have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You
do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you
ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not
know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever
wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you
suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over
the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? ...

These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of
Hezekiah king of Judah copied. It is the glory of God to conceal things, but
the glory of kings is to search things out. As the heavens for height, and the
earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable. Take away the dross
from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel; take away the wicked
from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in
righteousness. ...

do if God permits.
