James 1:17 ESV / 5 helpful votes   Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Numbers 23:19 ESV / 5 helpful votes   God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Romans 12:2 ESV / 4 helpful votes   Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 10:10 ESV / 4 helpful votes   For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 1 John 5:4 ESV / 3 helpful votes   For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 2 Peter 3:9 ESV / 3 helpful votes   The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. Hebrews 13:8 ESV / 3 helpful votes   Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Romans 12:1-2 ESV / 3 helpful votes   I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 8:7 ESV / 3 helpful votes   For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Acts 2:1-47 ESV / 3 helpful votes   When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ... Matthew 7:21-23 ESV / 3 helpful votes   “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Malachi 3:6 ESV / 3 helpful votes   “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. Psalm 51:1-19 ESV / 3 helpful votes   To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. ... 1 John 1:9 ESV / 2 helpful votes   If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. James 3:1-18 ESV / 2 helpful votes   Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! ... Philippians 4:13 ESV / 2 helpful votes   I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Ephesians 3:1-21 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. ... Ephesians 2:10 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, Romans 8:5-8 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 6:23 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:4 ESV / 2 helpful votes   We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 3:1-31 ESV / 2 helpful votes   Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) ... Romans 2:29 ESV / 2 helpful votes   But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. Romans 2:24 ESV / 2 helpful votes   For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Romans 2:22 ESV / 2 helpful votes   You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? Romans 2:9 ESV / 2 helpful votes   There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, Romans 2:1-29 ESV / 2 helpful votes   Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. ... Romans 1:1-32 ESV / 2 helpful votes   Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, ... Acts 26:14 ESV / 2 helpful votes   And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ Acts 13:2-3 ESV / 2 helpful votes   While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

    Jesus...or Barabbus?!

    Jesus Or Barabbus   Matthew 27:16-26 ESV / 6 helpful votes   And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.” Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. ... Mark 15:7-15 ESV / 5 helpful votes   And among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a man called Barabbas. And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he usually did for them. And he answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him up. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. ... Luke 23:18-25 ESV / 5 helpful votes   But they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas”— a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder. Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus, but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!” A third time he said to them, “Why? What evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.” ... John 18:39-40 ESV / 4 helpful votes   But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber. Acts 3:14 ESV / 4 helpful votes   But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, Matthew 27:20-23 ESV / 4 helpful votes   Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified!” And he said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!” Mark 15:11 ESV / 4 helpful votes   But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas instead. Luke 23:24 ESV / 4 helpful votes   So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. John 19:1 ESV / 4 helpful votes   Then Pilate took Jesus and flogged him. Acts 3:13 ESV / 4 helpful votes   The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

See to it yourself.” And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money.” So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. ... John 6:67-71 ESV / 72 helpful votes   So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him. John 12:4-6 ESV / 64 helpful votes   But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.

He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them. And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.

And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) “For it is written in the Book of Psalms, “‘May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it’; and “‘Let another take his office.’ ...

Matthew 5:14 ESV / 6 helpful votes   “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 1 John 1:5 ESV / 5 helpful votes   This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. Ephesians 5:1-33 ESV / 5 helpful votes   Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ...

You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. ... 1 John 2:9 ESV / 4 helpful votes   Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 1 John 2:1-29 ESV / 4 helpful votes   My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.

John 8:44 ESV / 2 helpful votes   You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.
