  • Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

    Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

    Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

    Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
    Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
    Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

    This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

    For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
    markec
    markec
    And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

    If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
    markec
    markec
    He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

    And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

    He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
    For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

    Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

    For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
    To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

    Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

    Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
    markec
    markec
    Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

    And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
    markec
    markec
    But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

    Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
    Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

    Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
    markec
    markec
    Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

    For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    For by it the elders obtained a good report.
    markec
    markec
    Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

    By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
    markec
    markec
    By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

    But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
    Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

    Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.

    For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
    markec
    markec
    For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

    And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

    But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
    For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

    And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
    markec
    markec
    And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

    But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
    Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

    And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

    In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
    markec
    markec
    Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

    When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
    markec
    markec
    Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

    That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
    If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

    Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

    For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

    When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
    Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

    For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
    markec
    markec
    Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

    That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
    Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

    See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

    Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

    Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
    markec
    markec
    And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

    Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

    Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
    And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

    Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

    Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
    markec
    markec
    And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

    Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
    And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

    Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
    Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

    And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

    To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
    markec
    markec
    Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
    Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

    If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

    Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
    markec
    markec
    For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

    And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

    Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
    markec
    markec
    Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

    And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    markec
    markec
    For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

    For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
    For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

    Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
    markec
    markec
    The "Greek" refers to non Jews so in this context you are the "Greek".
    Late Bloomer

    It must be pride that makes me question that line, knowing full well that greek = gentile. I don't much care for the gentile moniker either. It feels derogatory to me. Lesser than. I struggle with Matthew 15:21-28 as well.
    markec
    markec
    Some people might use that word as a insult just like some say "Jew" in derogatory manner. But such things should not distract you from Word of God.
    I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

    I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

    They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
    markec
    markec
    Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

    As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

    And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
    Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
    Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

    Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

    For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
    markec
    markec
    He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

    As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

    This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
