RO 10:8 But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
RO 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
RO 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
RO 10:11 For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”
RO 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
RO 10:13 for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

PR 12:21 No harm befalls the righteous,
But the wicked are filled with trouble.
PR 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.
PR 12:23 A prudent man conceals knowledge,
But the heart of fools proclaims folly.

PR 17:10 A rebuke goes deeper into one who has understanding
Than a hundred blows into a fool.

AC 10:25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.
AC 10:26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “ Stand up; I too am just a man.”

1PE 1:17 If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;
1PE 1:18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,
1PE 1:19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

Psalm 115:3-8


3But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.
4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man's hands.
5They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.

Heb 7:23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office;
Heb 7:24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
Heb 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Heb 7:26 Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
Heb 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Heb 7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

JN 3:14 “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;
JN 3:15 so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.
JN 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
JN 3:17 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

AC 1:9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
AC 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
AC 1:11 They also said, “ Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

Lk 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?
Lk 6:47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
Lk 6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
Lk 6:49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

1TI 3:1 It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.
1TI 3:2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
1TI 3:3 not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money.
1TI 3:4 He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity
1TI 3:5 (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?),
