"Now in thosedays a decreewent out from CaesarAugustus, that a census be taken of allthe inhabitedearth. This was the firstcensustaken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his owncity. Josephalsowent up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of Davidwhich is calledBethlehem, becausehe was of the house and family of David, in order to registeralong with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. While they were there, the days were completed for her to givebirth. And she gavebirth to her firstbornson; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was noroom for them in the inn. In the sameregion there were some shepherdsstaying out in the fields and keepingwatchover their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stoodbefore them, and the glory of the Lordshonearound them; and they were terriblyfrightened. But the angelsaid to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you goodnews of greatjoywhich will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christthe Lord.

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and expecially to those who are of the household of the faith." ( Galatians 6:7-10 NASB).

"When Jesussaw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He satdown, His disciplescame to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth."Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receivemercy."Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall seeGod."Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be calledsons of God."Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falselysayallkinds of evilagainst you because of Me."Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the sameway they persecuted the prophets who were before you" (Matthew 5:1-12 NASB).
"Beloved, let us loveoneanother, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knowsGod. The one who does not love does not knowGod, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifestedin us, that God has sent His onlybegottenSon into the worldso that we might livethrough Him. In this is love, not that we lovedGod, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4:7-10 NASB).
"But those who want to getrichfall into temptation and a snare and manyfoolish and harmfuldesireswhichplungemen into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of allsorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wanderedaway from the faith and piercedthemselves with manygriefs. But flee from thesethings, you man of God, and pursuerighteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Fight the goodfight of faith; takehold of the eternallifeto which you were called, and you made the goodconfession in the presence of manywitnesses" (1 Timothy 6:9-12 NASB).

"For thisperishablemustput on the imperishable, and thismortal must put on immortality. But whenthisperishable will have put on the imperishable, and thismortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY ? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING ?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victorythrough our LordJesusChrist. Therefore, my belovedbrethren, be steadfast, immovable, alwaysabounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:53-58 NASB).
Jesus said: "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believealso in Me."In My Father'shouse are manydwellingplaces; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you."If I go and prepare a place for you, I will comeagain and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1-3 NASB).

( 1 Peter 1:3-5 NASB )
"Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen. I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:3-8 NASB)
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." (Hebrews 10: 23-25 NASB)
"You have heard that it was said, You SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, and hate your enemy.' "But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."

It is written in Ephesians 5:15-17 (NASB): "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." And Galatians 6:7 (NASB) says: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the firstcommandment with a promise ), SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVELONG ON THE EARTH. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:1-4 NASB).
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked ; for whatever a mansows, this he will alsoreap. For the one who sows to his ownflesh will from the fleshreapcorruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spiritreapeternallife. Let us not loseheart in doinggood, for in duetime we will reap if we do not growweary. Sothen, while we haveopportunity, let us dogood to allpeople, and especially to thosewho are of the household of the faith" (Galtians 6:7-10 NASB).
"The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fearGod and keep His commandments, becausethis applies to everyperson. For God will bringeveryact to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil" (Ecclesiates 12:13-14 NASB).
" He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day; Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or of the destruction that lays waste at noon" (Psalms 91:1-6 NASB).
"Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall through following the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do" (Hebrews 5:11-13 NASB).
"Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained" (Philippians 3:13-16 NASB).
"Therefore take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and having shod your FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming missiles of the evil one" (Ephesians 6:13-16 NASB).
Jesus said: "You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good?For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matthew 12:34-37 NASB).
Jesus said: "For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:43-46 NASB).
"For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions" (Matthew 6:14-15 NASB).
It is written in Ephesians 5:15-17 (NASB): "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." And Galatians 6:7 (NASB) says: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."
Jesus said: "You Will Know Them By Their Fruits" (Matthew 7:15 NASB).
"Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit" (Galatians 5:19-25 NASB).

Jesus said: "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? "If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:44-48 NASB).
"And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20 NASB).
"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me liedown in greenpastures; He leads me besidequietwaters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name'ssake. Eventhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fearnoevil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a tablebefore me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cupoverflows. Surelygoodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORDforever" (Psalms 23:1-6 NASB).

The Excellence of Love 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 NASB
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
"Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." (Eph 4:29-32 NASB).

"Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord-- for we walk by faith, not by sight -- we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad"(2 Corinthians 5:6-10 NASB).
"As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love" Ephesians 4:14-16 NASB).
"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful" (Colossians 3:12-15 NASB).
