Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life.”

John 4:13‭-‬14 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.4.13-14.ERV

John 2:18‭-‬22

Some Jews said to Jesus, “Show us a miracle as a sign from God. Prove that you have the right to do these things.” 

Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple and I will build it again in three days.” They answered, “People worked 46 years to build this Temple! Do you really believe you can build it again in three days?” 

But the temple Jesus meant was his own body. After he was raised from death, his followers remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scriptures, and they believed the words Jesus said.

John 2:18‭-‬22 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.2.18-22.ERV

John 2:13‭-‬16

It was almost time for the Jewish Passover, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. There in the Temple area he saw men selling cattle, sheep, and doves. He saw others sitting at tables, exchanging and trading people’s money. 

Jesus made a whip with some pieces of rope. Then he forced all these men and the sheep and cattle to leave the Temple area. He turned over the tables of the money traders and scattered their money. 

Then he said to those who were selling pigeons, “Take these things out of here! Don’t make my Father’s house a place for buying and selling!”

John 2:13‭-‬16 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.2.13-16.ERV

John 2:3‭-‬5‭, ‬7‭-‬11

At the wedding there was not enough wine, so Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 

Jesus answered, “Dear woman, why are you telling me this? It is not yet time for me to begin my work.” 

His mother said to the servants, “Do what he tells you.” Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the waterpots with water.” So they filled them to the top. Then he said to them, “Now dip out some water and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” 

So they did what he said. Then the man in charge tasted it, but the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who brought the water knew.

He called the bridegroom and said to him, “People always serve the best wine first. Later, when the guests are drunk, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine until now.” 

This was the first of all the miraculous signs Jesus did. He did it in the town of Cana in Galilee. By this he showed his divine greatness, and his followers believed in him.

John 2:3‭-‬5‭, ‬7‭-‬11 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.2.3-11.ERV

Luke 2:10‭-‬14

The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid. I have some very good news for you—news that will make everyone happy. 

Today your Savior was born in David’s town. He is the Messiah, the Lord. This is how you will know him: You will find a baby wrapped in pieces of cloth and lying in a feeding box.” 

Then a huge army of angels from heaven joined the first angel, and they were all praising God, saying, “Praise God in heaven, and on earth let there be peace to the people who please him.”

Luke 2:10‭-‬14 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/luk.2.10-14.ERV

Luke 1:30‭-‬33

The angel said to her, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, because God is very pleased with you. 

Listen! You will become pregnant and have a baby boy. You will name him Jesus. He will be great. 

People will call him the Son of the Most High God, and the Lord God will make him king like his ancestor David. 

He will rule over the people of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

John 3:20‭-‬21

Everyone who does evil hates the light. They will not come to the light, because the light will show all the bad things they have done. 

But anyone who follows the true way comes to the light. Then the light will show that whatever they have done was done through God.

John 3:20‭-‬21 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.3.20-21.ERV

John 3:17‭-‬19

God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him. 

People who believe in God’s Son are not judged guilty. But people who do not believe are already judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son. 

They are judged by this fact: The light has come into the world. But they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.

John 3:17‭-‬19 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.3.17-19.ERV

John 3:14‭-‬16

 “Moses lifted up the snake in the desert. It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too. Then everyone who believes in him can have eternal life.” 

Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

John 3:14‭-‬16 ERV

John 3:3‭, ‬5‭-‬6

Jesus answered, “I assure you, everyone must be born again. Anyone who is not born again cannot be in God’s kingdom.” 

Jesus answered, “Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God’s kingdom. 

The only life people get from their human parents is physical. But the new life that the Spirit gives a person is spiritual.

John 3:3‭, ‬5‭-‬6 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.3.3-6.ERV

John 1:32‭-‬34

Then John said this for everyone to hear: “I also did not know who the Messiah was. 

But the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘You will see the Spirit come down and rest on a man. He is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ 

I have seen this happen. I saw the Spirit come down from heaven like a dove and rest on this man. So this is what I tell people: ‘He is the Son of God.’”

John 1:11‭-‬13

He came to the world that was his own. And his own people did not accept him. 

But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God. 

They became God’s children, but not in the way babies are usually born. It was not because of any human desire or plan. They were born from God himself.

John 1:11‭-‬13 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/jhn.1.11-13.ERV

Romans 16:25

Praise God! He is the one who can make you strong in faith. He can use the Good News that I teach to make you strong. It is the message about Jesus Christ that I tell people. That message is the secret truth that was hidden for ages and ages but has been made known.

Romans 14:21‭-‬23

It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else that hurts the faith of your brother or sister. 

You should keep your beliefs about these things a secret between yourself and God. 

It is a blessing to be able to do what you think is right without feeling guilty. 

But anyone who eats something without being sure it is right is doing wrong. That is because they did not believe it was right. 

And if you do anything that you believe is not right, it is sin.

Romans 14:21‭-‬23 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.14.21-23.ERV

Romans 14:14‭-‬15

I know that there is no food that is wrong to eat. The Lord Jesus is the one who convinced me of that. But if someone believes that something is wrong, then it is wrong for that person. 

If you hurt the faith of your brother or sister because of something you eat, you are not really following the way of love. Don’t destroy anyone’s faith by eating something they think is wrong. Christ died for them.

Romans 14:14‭-‬15 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.14.14-15.ERV

Romans 14:10‭, ‬12

So why do you judge your brother or sister in Christ? Or why do you think that you are better than they are? We will all stand before God, and he will judge us all. 

So each of us will have to explain to God about the things we do.

Romans 14:10‭, ‬12 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.14.10-12.ERV

Romans 14:8‭-‬9

If we live, we are living for the Lord. And if we die, we are dying for the Lord. So living or dying, we belong to the Lord. 

That is why Christ died and rose from death to live again—so that he could be Lord over those who have died and those who are living.

Romans 14:8‭-‬9 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.14.8-9.ERV

Romans 14:1‭, ‬4

Be willing to accept those who still have doubts about what believers can do. And don’t argue with them about their different ideas. 

You cannot judge the servants of someone else. Their own master decides if they are doing right or wrong. And the Lord’s servants will be right, because the Lord is able to make them right.

Romans 14:1‭, ‬4 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.14.1-4.ERV

Romans 13:13‭-‬14

We should live in a right way, like people who belong to the day. We should not have wild parties or be drunk. We should not be involved in sexual sin or any kind of immoral behavior. We should not cause arguments and trouble or be jealous. 

But be like the Lord Jesus Christ, so that when people see what you do, they will see Christ. Don’t think about how to satisfy the desires of your sinful self.

Romans 13:13‭-‬14 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.13.10.ERV

Romans 13:3‭-‬5

People who do right don’t have to fear the rulers. But those who do wrong must fear them. 

Do you want to be free from fearing them? Then do only what is right, and they will praise you.

Rulers are God’s servants to help you. But if you do wrong, you have reason to be afraid. 

They have the power to punish, and they will use it. They are God’s servants to punish those who do wrong. 

So you must obey the government, not just because you might be punished, but because you know it is the right thing to do.

Romans 13:3‭-‬5 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.13.3-5.ERV

Nehemiah 8:10

Romans 12:20‭-‬21

But you should do this: 

“If you have enemies who are hungry, give them something to eat. 

If you have enemies who are thirsty, give them something to drink. 

In doing this you will make them feel ashamed.”

Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.

Romans 12:16 ERV

Romans 12:14‭, ‬17‭, ‬19

Wish only good for those who treat you badly. Ask God to bless them, not curse them. 

If someone does you wrong, don’t try to pay them back by hurting them. Try to do what everyone thinks is right. 

My friends, don’t try to punish anyone who does wrong to you. Wait for God to punish them with his anger. 

In the Scriptures the Lord says, “I am the one who punishes; I will pay people back.”Deuteronomy 32:35

Romans 12:10‭-‬11

Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honor than you give yourself.

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.12.10-11.ERV

Romans 12:2

Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.

Romans 12:2 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.12.2.ERV

Romans 12:1

So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. 

Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way.

Romans 12:1 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.12.1.ERV

Romans 11:33

Yes, God’s riches are very great! His wisdom and knowledge have no end! No one can explain what God decides. No one can understand his ways.

Romans 11:33 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.11.33.ERV

Romans 11:32

All people have refused to obey God. And he has put them all together as people who don’t obey him so that he can show mercy to everyone.

Romans 11:32 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.11.32.ERV

Romans 11:29

God never changes his mind about the people he calls. He never decides to take back the blessings he has given them.

Romans 11:29 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.11.29.ERV

Romans 11:19‭-‬23

 You might say, “Branches were broken off so that I could be joined to their tree.” That is true.

But those branches were broken off because they did not believe. And you continue to be part of the tree only because you believe. 

Don’t be proud, but be afraid. If God did not let the natural branches of that tree stay, he will not let you stay if you stop believing. 

So you see that God is kind, but he can also be very strict. He punishes those who stop following him. But he is kind to you, if you continue trusting in his kindness. 

If you don’t continue depending on him, you will be cut off from the tree. And if the Jews will believe in God again, he will accept them back. He is able to put them back where they were.

Romans 11:19‭-‬23 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.11.19-23.ERV

Romans 11:5‭-‬7

 It is the same now. God has chosen a few people by his grace. And if he chose them by grace, then it is not what they have done that made them his people. 

If they could be made his people by what they did, his gift of grace would not really be a gift.

So this is what has happened: The people of Israel wanted God’s blessing, but they did not all get it. The people he chose did get his blessing, but the others became hard and refused to listen to him.

Romans 11:5‭-‬7 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.11.5-7.ERV

Romans 10:14‭-‬15‭, ‬17

But before people can pray to the Lord for help, they must believe in him. And before they can believe in the Lord, they must hear about him.

 And for anyone to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them. And before anyone can go and tell them, they must be sent. As the Scriptures say, “How wonderful it is to see someone coming to tell good news!” 

So faith comes from hearing the Good News. And people hear the Good News when someone tells them about Christ.

Romans 10:14‭-‬15‭, ‬17 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.10.14-17.ERV 

2 Chronicles 20:15‭, ‬17

Jahaziel said, “Listen to me King Jehoshaphat and everyone living in Judah and Jerusalem! The Lord says this to you: ‘Don’t be afraid or worry about this large army, because the battle is not your battle. It is God’s battle! 

You will not have to fight this battle. Just stand there and watch the Lord save you. Judah and Jerusalem, don’t be afraid. Don’t worry, because the Lord is with you. So go out to stand against those people tomorrow.’”

2 Chronicles 20:15‭, ‬17 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/2ch.20.15-17.ERV

Romans 10:11‭-‬12

 Yes, the Scriptures say, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed.” 

It says this because there is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. 

The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help.

Romans 10:11‭-‬12 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.10.11-12.ERV

Romans 10:9‭-‬11

 If you openly say, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved. 

Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we openly say that we believe in him, and so we are saved.

Yes, the Scriptures say, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed.”

Romans 10:9‭-‬11 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.10.9-11.ERV

 Christ ended the law so that everyone who believes in him is made right with God.

Romans 10:4 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.10.4.ERV

Matthew 6:25‭-‬34

 “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it. 

Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are? 

You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it. 

“And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers. 

If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small! 

“Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. 

What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need. 

So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries.

Matthew 6:25‭-‬34 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/mat.6.25-34.ERV

Romans 9:20b‭-‬21

A clay jar does not question the one who made it. It does not say, “Why did you make me like this?” The one who makes the jar can make anything he wants. 

He uses the same clay to make different things. He might make one thing for special purposes and another for daily use.

Romans 9:20‭-‬21 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.9.20-21.ERV

Romans 9:30‭-‬32

 So what does all this mean? It means that people who are not Jews were made right with God because of their faith, even though they were not trying to make themselves right. 

And the people of Israel, who tried to make themselves right with God by following the law, did not succeed. 

They failed because they tried to make themselves right by the things they did. They did not trust in God to make them right. They fell over the stone that makes people fall.

Romans 9:30‭-‬32 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.9.30-32.ERV

Romans 9:11‭-‬12‭, ‬14‭-‬16

 But before the two sons were born, God told Rebecca, “The older son will serve the younger.” This was before the boys had done anything good or bad. 

God said this before they were born so that the boy he wanted would be chosen because of God’s own plan. He was chosen because he was the one God wanted to call, not because of anything the boys did. 

So what does this mean? That God is not fair? We cannot say that. God said to Moses, “I will show mercy to anyone I want to show mercy to. I will show pity to anyone I choose.” 

So God will choose anyone he decides to show mercy to, and his choice does not depend on what people want or try to do.

Romans 9:11‭-‬12‭, ‬14‭-‬16 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.9.11-16.ERV

Romans 8:28‭-‬30

 We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan. 

God knew them before he made the world. And he decided that they would be like his Son. Then Jesus would be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters. 

God planned for them to be like his Son. He chose them and made them right with him. And after he made them right, he gave them his glory.

Romans 8:28‭-‬30 ERV

https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.8.28-30.ERV

Romans 8:26‭-‬27

 Also, the Spirit helps us. We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. 

We don’t know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself speaks to God for us. 

He begs God for us, speaking to him with feelings too deep for words. 

God already knows our deepest thoughts. And he understands what the Spirit is saying, because the Spirit speaks for his people in the way that agrees with what God wants.

Romans 8:26‭-‬27 ERV

 “Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 “Can anything separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or problems or persecution separate us from his love? If we have no food or clothes or face danger or even death, will that separate us from his love?

But in all these troubles we have complete victory through God, who has shown his love for us.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:35, 37‬ ‭ERV‬‬

 “So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can stand against us. And God is with us. 

He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things. 

Who can accuse the people God has chosen? No one! God is the one who makes them right. 

Who can say that God’s people are guilty? No one! Christ Jesus died for us, but that is not all. He was also raised from death. And now he is at God’s right side, speaking to him for us.”

 “And the Spirit himself speaks to our spirits and makes us sure that we are God’s children. 

If we are God’s children, we will get the blessings God has for his people. 

He will give us all that he has given Christ. But we must suffer like Christ suffered. Then we will be able to share his glory.”

Romans‬ ‭8:14-16

 “The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them. 

The Spirit that we received is not a spirit that makes us slaves again and causes us to fear. 

The Spirit that we have makes us God’s chosen children. 

And with that Spirit we cry out, “ Abba, Father.” 

And the Spirit himself speaks to our spirits and makes us sure that we are God’s children.”

Romans‬ ‭8:12-13

 “So, my brothers and sisters, we must not be ruled by our sinful selves. We must not live the way our sinful selves want. 

If you use your lives to do what your sinful selves want, you will die spiritually. But if you use the Spirit’s help to stop doing the wrong things you do with your body, you will have true life.”

Romans‬ ‭8:5-9

 “People who live following their sinful selves think only about what they want. But those who live following the Spirit are thinking about what the Spirit wants them to do. 

If your thinking is controlled by your sinful self, there is spiritual death. But if your thinking is controlled by the Spirit, there is life and peace. 

Why is this true? Because anyone whose thinking is controlled by their sinful self is against God. They refuse to obey God’s law. And really they are not able to obey it. Those who are ruled by their sinful selves cannot please God. 

But you are not ruled by your sinful selves. You are ruled by the Spirit, if that Spirit of God really lives in you. But whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Christ.”

Romans‬ ‭8:3-4‬

 “The law was without power because it was made weak by our sinful selves. But God did what the law could not do: He sent his own Son to earth with the same human life that everyone else uses for sin. 

God sent him to be an offering to pay for sin. So God used a human life to destroy sin. He did this so that we could be right just as the law said we must be. Now we don’t live following our sinful selves. We live following the Spirit.”

Romans‬ ‭7:21-25

 “So I have learned this rule: When I want to do good, evil is there with me. In my mind I am happy with God’s law. But I see another law working in my body. That law makes war against the law that my mind accepts. 

That other law working in my body is the law of sin, and that law makes me its prisoner. What a miserable person I am! Who will save me from this body that brings me death? 

I thank God for his salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord! So in my mind I am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful self I am a slave to the law of sin.”

Romans 7:14‭-‬17

 We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not. I am so human. Sin rules me as if I were its slave. 

I don’t understand why I act the way I do. I don’t do the good I want to do, and I do the evil I hate.

 And if I don’t want to do what I do, that means I agree that the law is good. But I am not really the one doing the evil. It is sin living in me that does it.

Romans 7:14‭-‬17 ERV

Romans‬ ‭7:7-8, 13

 “You might think I am saying that sin and the law are the same. That is not true. But the law was the only way I could learn what sin means. 

I would never have known it is wrong to want something that is not mine. But the law said, “You must not want what belongs to someone else.” And sin found a way to use that command and make me want all kinds of things that weren’t mine. 

So sin came to me because of the command. But without the law, sin has no power.

Does this mean that something that is good brought death to me? No, it was sin that used the good command to bring me death. 

This shows how terrible sin really is. It can use a good command to produce a result that shows sin at its very worst.”

I mean that while we were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through his Son’s death. And the fact that we are now God’s friends makes it even more certain that he will save us through his Son’s life. 

And not only will we be saved, but we also rejoice right now in what God has done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God’s friends.”

Abraham was well aware of this, but his faith in God never became weak. He never doubted that God would do what he promised. He never stopped believing. In fact, he grew stronger in his faith and just praised God. 

Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he promised. So that’s why “he was accepted as one who is right with God.””

Abraham was circumcised later to show that God accepted him. His circumcision was proof that he was right with God through faith before he was circumcised. 

So Abraham is the father of all those who believe but are not circumcised. They believe and are accepted as people who are right with God.”

I mean we are made right with God through faith, not through what we have done to follow the law. This is what we believe.

So do we destroy the law by following the way of faith? Not at all! In fact, faith causes us to be what the law actually wants.”

God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair. He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. And in our own time he still does what is right. 

God worked all this out in a way that allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus.”

God makes people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe in Christ.

Everyone is the same. All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness. They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.”

For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character].”

And since you do the same things as those people you judge, surely you understand that God will punish you too. How could you think you would be able to escape his judgment?

They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. They gossip and say evil things about each other. 

They hate God. They are rude, proud, and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents, they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others. 

They know God’s law says that anyone who lives like that should die. But they not only continue to do these things themselves, but they also encourage others who do them.”

They bowed down and worshiped the things God made instead of worshiping the God who made those things. He is the one who should be praised forever. Amen. 

Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men and started having sex with other women.
