John 1:17
1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but
grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
Exodus 4:9
4:9 And if
they do not believe even these two signs or listen to you,
then take
some water from the Nile and pour it out on the dry ground. The water you take out of the Nile will become blood on the dry ground.”
Exodus 7:19-21
7:19 Then the
Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over Egypt’s waters – over their rivers, over their canals,
over their ponds, and over all their reservoirs
– so that it becomes
blood.’ There will be blood everywhere in
the land of Egypt, even in wooden and stone containers.”
7:20 Moses and Aaron did so,
just as the
Lord had commanded. Moses raised
the staff
and struck the water that was in the Nile right before the eyes
of Pharaoh and his servants,
and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.
7:21 When the fish
that were in the Nile died, the Nile began
to stink, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood
everywhere in the land of Egypt!
Ecclesiastes 9:7
Life is Brief, so Cherish its Joys
9:7 Go, eat your food with joy,
and drink your wine with a happy heart,
because God has already approved your works.
Malachi 2:2
2:2 If you do not listen and take seriously
the need to honor my name,” says the
Lord who rules over all, “I will send judgment
on you and turn your blessings into curses – indeed, I have already done so because you are not taking it to heart.
Malachi 2:2
2:2 If you do not listen and take seriously
the need to honor my name,” says the
Lord who rules over all, “I will send judgment
on you and turn your blessings into curses – indeed, I have already done so because you are not taking it to heart.
Colossians 4:17
4:17 And tell Archippus, “See to it that you complete the ministry you received in the Lord.”
Galatians 3:10-13
3:10 For all who
rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “
Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.”
3:11 Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because
the righteous one will live by faith.
3:12 But the law is not based on faith,
but
the one who does the works of the law
will live by them.
3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming
a curse for us (because it is written, “
Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)
