- When in sorrow, ...call John 14.
- John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe
in God, believe also in Me.
2 In My Father's House are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and The Way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto Him, LORD, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know
The Way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by Me.
7 If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye
know Him, and have seen Him.
8 Philip saith unto Him, LORD, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not
known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou
then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the Words that
I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth
the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for
the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall
he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in My Name, I will do it.
15 If ye love Me, keep My Commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may
abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit Of Truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him
not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be
in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live,
ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.
21 He that hath My Commandments, and keepeth Them, he it is that loveth Me: and he
that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest
Myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, LORD, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself
unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and
My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
24 He that loveth Me not keepeth not My Sayings: and the Word which ye hear is not
Mine, but the Father's which sent Me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My Name,
He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever
I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved
Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater
than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass,
ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh,
and hath nothing in Me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me
Commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence."
- When men fail you, or you are depressed, ...call Psalm
27.
- Psalm 27:1 "A Psalm of David. The LORD is my Light
and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the Strength of my Life; of whom
shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should
rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell
in the House of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the Beauty of the LORD,
and to inquire in His Temple.
5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His Pavilion: in the secret of His
Tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a Rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore
will I offer in His Tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises
unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When Thou saidst, Seek ye My Face; my heart said unto Thee, Thy Face, LORD, will
I seek.
9 Hide not Thy Face far from me; put not Thy servant away in anger: Thou hast been
my Help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my Salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen
up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land
of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of Good Courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait,
I say, on the LORD."
-
- If you want to be fruitful, ...call John 15.
- John 15:1 "I am the True Vine, and My Father is the
Husbandman.
2 Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that
beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it
abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.
5 I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in Me, He is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men
gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love.
10 If ye keep My Commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My
Father's Commandments, and abide in His love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that
your joy might be full.
12 This is My Commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I Command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord
doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father
I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should
go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall
ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.
17 These things I Command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not
of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth
you.
20 Remember the Word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My Saying,
they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for My Name's sake, because they know
not Him that sent Me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have
no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth Me hateth My Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not
had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their
Law, They hated Me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even
the Spirit Of Truth, Which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning."
-
- When you have sinned, ...call Psalm 51.
- Psalm 51:1 "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David,
when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy
upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of
Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou
mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt
make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than
snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy Salvation; and uphold me with Thy Free Spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto
Thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my Salvation: and my tongue
shall sing aloud of Thy Righteousness.
15 O LORD, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in
burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
Thou wilt not despise.
18 Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of Righteousness, with burnt offering
and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar."
-
- When you worry, ...call Matthew 6:19-34.
- Matthew 6:19 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon Earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and
steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves Treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your Treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole
body shall be full of Light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the Other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the Other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life
more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather
into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow
is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Heavenly Father knoweth
that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for
the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
-
- When you are in danger, ...call Psalm 91.
- Psalm 91:1 "He that dwelleth in the secret place of
the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I
trust.
3 Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His
Truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth
by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth
at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall
not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt
thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set
him on high, because he hath known My Name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I
will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My Salvation."
-
- When God seems far away, ...call Psalm 139.
- Psalm 139:1 "To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
O LORD, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar
off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid Thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou
art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about
me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from Thee; but the night shineth as the day: the
darkness and the light are both alike to Thee.
13 For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy
works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought
in the lowest parts of the Earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in Thy Book all my members
were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of
them.
17 How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I
am still with Thee.
19 Surely Thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and Thine enemies take Thy Name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? and am not I grieved with those that
rise up against Thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
-
- When your faith needs stirring, ...call Hebrews 11.
- Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world,
and became heir of the Righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of Promise, as in a strange country, dwelling
in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same Promise:
10 For he looked for a City which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered
of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him faithful Who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars
of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the Promises, but having seen them
afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they
were strangers and pilgrims on the Earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a Country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out,
they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a Better Country, that is, an Heavenly: wherefore God is not
ashamed to be called their God: for He hath prepared for them a City.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received
the Promises offered up his only begotten son.
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence
also he received him in a figure.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped,
leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of
Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because
they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's
daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for
he had respect unto the recompense of the Reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured,
as seeing Him Who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that
destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying
to do were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven
days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had
received the spies with peace.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of
Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought Righteousness, obtained Promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness
were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not
accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better Resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds
and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword:
they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains,
and in dens and caves of the Earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the Promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not
be made perfect."
-
- When you are lonely and fearful, ...call Psalm 23.
- Psalm 23:1 "A Psalm of David. The LORD is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of Righteousness for His Name's
sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD for ever."
-
- When you grow bitter and critical, ...call I Corinthians
13.
- 1 Corinthians 13:1 "Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, and have not Charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge;
and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Charity,
I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to
be burned, and have not Charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; Charity envieth not; Charity vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh
no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether
there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done
away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as
a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, Charity, these three; but the greatest of these is
Charity."
-
- For Paul's secret to happiness, ...call Colossians 3:12-17.
- Colossians 3:12 "Put on therefore, as the elect of
God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against
any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on Charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called
in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts
to the LORD.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the LORD Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by Him."
-
- For understanding of Christianity, ...call II Corinthians
5:15-19.
- 2 Corinthians 5:15 "And that He died for all, that
they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died
for them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known
Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ,
and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 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."

from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but
the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever
the Son will reveal Him.
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

90.
- Psalm 98:1 "A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song;
for He hath done marvellous things: His right hand, and His holy arm, hath gotten
Him the victory.
2 The LORD hath made known His Salvation: His Righteousness hath He openly showed
in the sight of the heathen.
3 He hath remembered His mercy and His Truth toward the house of Israel: all the
ends of the Earth have seen the Salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the Earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice,
and sing praise.
5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the KING.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9 Before the LORD; for He cometh to judge the Earth: with Righteousness shall He
judge the world, and the people with equity."
-
- When you want Christian assurance, ...call Romans 8:1-30.
- Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the Law
of sin and death.
3 For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending
His Own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after
the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is Life and Peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law
of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God
dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is Life
because of Righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that
raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit
that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do
mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received
the Spirit Of Adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit Itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of
God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so
be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the
sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him
who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until
now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption
of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth,
why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us with groanings
which cannot be uttered.
27 And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because
He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to His purpose.
29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image
of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them
He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified."

2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that
which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good,
and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall Live; and I will
make an Everlasting Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to
the people.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not
thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel;
for He hath glorified thee.
6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him
return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will
abundantly pardon.
8 For My Thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, saith the
LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways,
and My Thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither,
but watereth the Earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed
to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: It shall not return unto
Me void, but It shall accomplish that which I please, and It shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent It.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the
hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall
clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall
come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting
sign that shall not be cut off."

- When you want courage for a task, ...call Joshua 1.
- Joshua 1:1 "Now after the death of Moses the servant
of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses'
minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all
this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto
you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates,
all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the
sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life:
as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an
inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all the Law, which Moses My servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right
hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither
be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for
within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which
the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh,
spake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The
LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which
Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed,
all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as He hath given you, and they also
have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return
unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave
you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and
whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee:
only the LORD thy God be with thee, as He was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken
unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be
strong and of a good courage."

- For how to get along with fellow men, ...call Romans
12.
- Romans 12:1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not
to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according
as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether
prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity;
he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which
is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring
one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the LORD;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to
men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all
men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it
is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the LORD.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in
so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
-
- When you think of investments and returns, ...call Mark
10.
- Mark 10:1 "And He arose from thence, and cometh into
the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto Him
again; and, as He was wont, He taught them again.
2 And the Pharisees came to Him, and asked Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away
his wife? tempting Him.
3 And He answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote
you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house His disciples asked Him again of the same matter.
11 And He saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another,
committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth
adultery.
13 And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and His disciples
rebuked those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the
little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom
of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little
child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.
17 And when He was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to
Him, and asked Him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit Eternal Life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? there is none good but One,
that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the Commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest:
go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have
treasure in Heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto His disciples, How hardly shall they
that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished at His Words. But Jesus answereth again, and
saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter
into the Kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man
to enter into the Kingdom of God.
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can
be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God:
for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto Him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed Thee.
29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath
left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for My sake, and the Gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and
sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world
to come Eternal Life.
31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and
they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And He took again the twelve,
and began to tell them what things should happen unto Him,
33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto
the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn Him to death, and
shall deliver Him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock Him, and shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him, and shall
kill Him: and the third day He shall rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto Him, saying, Master, we would
that Thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36 And He said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 They said unto Him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand, and
the other on Thy left hand, in Thy glory.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that
I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto Him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink
of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall
ye be baptized:
40 But to sit on My right hand and on My left hand is not Mine to give; but it shall
be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42 But Jesus called them to Him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are
accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great
ones exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall
be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to
give His Life a Ransom for many.
46 And they came to Jericho: and as He went out of Jericho with His disciples and
a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway
side begging.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say,
Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great
deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind
man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; He calleth thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
The blind man said unto Him, LORD, that I might receive my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately
he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way."

- If your pocketbook is empty, ...call Psalm 37.
- Psalm 37:1 "A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because
of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou
shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.
6 And He shall bring forth thy Righteousness as the Light, and thy Judgment as the
noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who
prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit
the Earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently
consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the Earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance
of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The LORD shall laugh at him: for He seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the
poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall
be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of
lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and
giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of Him shall inherit the Earth; and they that be cursed
of Him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in His way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him
with His hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the LORD loveth Judgment, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved
for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh Wisdom, and his tongue talketh of Judgment.
31 The Law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep His Way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land:
when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay
tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be
found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall
be cut off.
39 But the Salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their Strength in the
time of trouble.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: He shall deliver them from the
wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him."

- If people seem unkind, ...call John 13.
- John 13:1 "Now before the feast of the Passover, when
Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the
Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son, to betray Him;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He
was come from God, and went to God;
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside His garments; and took a towel, and girded
Himself.
5 After that He poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet,
and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.
6 Then cometh He to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto Him, LORD, dost Thou wash my
feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt
know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto Him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash
thee not, thou hast no part with Me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto Him, LORD, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is
clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11 For He knew who should betray Him; therefore said He, Ye are not all clean.
12 So after He had washed their feet, and had taken His garments, and was set down
again, He said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call Me Master and LORD: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your LORD and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash
one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an Example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither
he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may
be fulfilled, he that eateth bread with Me hath lifted up his heel against Me.
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that
I Am He.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth
Me; and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, He was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom He spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of
whom He spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto Him, LORD, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And
when He had dipped the sop, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou
doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent He spake this unto him.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto
him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should
give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified,
and God is glorified in Him.
32 If God be glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself, and shall straightway
glorify Him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek Me: and as I
said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A New Commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 Simon Peter said unto Him, LORD, whither goest Thou? Jesus answered him, Whither
I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow Me afterwards.
37 Peter said unto Him, LORD, why cannot I follow Thee now? I will lay down my life
for Thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for My sake? Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied Me thrice."

3 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the Earth, and their words to the end of the
world. In them hath He set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a Bridegroom coming out of His chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man
to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and His circuit unto the ends of
it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The Law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD
is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The Statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the Commandment of the
LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the Judgments of the LORD are
true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also
than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great
reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion
over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy
sight, O LORD, my Strength, and my Redeemer."
