Read Psalms 23-24

Psalms 23

 ¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures, 

he leads me beside quiet waters,

 ³ he restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness 

for his name's sake.

 ⁴ Even though I walk 

through the valley of the shadow of death,  

I will fear no evil, 

for you are with me; 

your rod and your staff, 

they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me 

in the presence of my enemies. 

You anoint my head with oil; 

my cup overflows.

⁶ Surely goodness and love will follow me 

all the days of my life, 

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD 

forever.

Psalm 24:4-5

 ⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart, 

who does not lift up his soul to an idol 

or swear by what is false.

 ⁵ He will receive blessing from the LORD 

^{and vindication from God his Savior.}

Monday the 13th of July 2009

Read Psalms 25-26

Psalm 25:4, 12, 20-21

⁴ Show me your ways, O LORD, 
       teach me your paths;

 ¹² Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ? 
       He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

 ²⁰ Guard my life and rescue me; 

let me not be put to shame, 

for I take refuge in you. 

²¹ May integrity and uprightness protect me, 

because my hope is in you.

Psalm 26:2-3

 ² Test me, O LORD, and try me, 

examine my heart and my mind. 

³ for your love is ever before me, 

and I walk continually in your truth.

Continuing

Saturday 4th of July 2009

Read Psalms 17-18

Psalms 17:6-7, 15

⁶ I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; 

give ear to me and hear my prayer. 

⁷ Show the wonder of your great love, 

you who save by your right hand 

those who take refuge in you from their foes.

 ¹⁵ And I—in righteousness I will see your face; 

       when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Psalms 18:30

 ³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect; 

       the word of the LORD is flawless. 

       He is a shield 

       for all who take refuge in him.

Sunday the 5th of July 2009

Read Psalms 19-20

Psalm 19:7-8

 ⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect, 

reviving the soul. 

The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, 

making wise the simple.

⁸ The precepts of the LORD are right,

giving joy to the heart.

The commands of the LORD are radiant, 

giving light to the eyes.

Psalm 20:4

 ⁴ May he give you the desire of your heart 

       and make all your plans succeed.

Monday the 6th of July 2009

Read Psalms 21-22

Psalm 21:2

 ² You have granted him the desire of his heart 
       and have not withheld the request of his lips. 
       Selah

Psalm 22:11, 24

¹¹ Do not be far from me,

for trouble is near

and there is no one to help.

²⁴ For he has not despised or disdained 
       the suffering of the afflicted one; 
       he has not hidden his face from him 
       but has listened to his cry for help

Even though I haven't blogged verses for a while I did continue reading the Psalms up until a month ago. Then I started again today. 

I always wrote down some verses that stood out from each chapter in my notebook, like usual. And now I want to post them.

Saturday 27th of June 2009

Read Psalms 11-12

Psalm 11:1a, 7

 ¹ In the LORD I take refuge. 

 ⁷ For the LORD is righteous, 

       he loves justice; 

       upright men will see his face.

Psalms 12:6-7

⁵ "Because of the oppression of the weak 
       and the groaning of the needy, 
       I will now arise," says the LORD. 
       "I will protect them from those who malign them."

⁶ And the words of the LORD are flawless, 

like silver refined in a furnace of clay, 

purified seven times.

⁷ O LORD, you will keep us safe 

and protect us from such people forever.

Tuesday 30th of June 2009

Read Psalms 13-14

Psalms 13:5-6

⁵ But I trust in your unfailing love; 

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

 ⁶ I will sing to the LORD, 

for he has been good to me.

Psalms 14:1

 ¹ The fool ^[a] says in his heart, 
       "There is no God." 
       They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; 
       there is no one who does good.

a. Psalm 14:1 The Hebrew words rendered fool in Psalms denote one who is morally deficient.

Wednesday 1st of July 2009

Read Psalms 15-16

Psalm 15

 ¹ LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? 
       Who may live on your holy hill?

 ² He whose walk is blameless 
       and who does what is righteous, 
       who speaks the truth from his heart

 ³ and has no slander on his tongue, 
       who does his neighbor no wrong 
       and casts no slur on his fellowman,

 ⁴ who despises a vile man 
       but honors those who fear the LORD, 
       who keeps his oath 
       even when it hurts,

 ⁵ who lends his money without usury 
       and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. 
       He who does these things 
       will never be shaken.

Psalms 16:8

 ⁸ I have set the LORD always before me. 
       Because he is at my right hand, 
       I will not be shaken.

Desire

Today I decided to check out some verses by choosing a word as a topic. I chose the word desire and 190 verses came up when I did the search. Want to share a few verses 

The first verse that came up is from Genesis:

Genesis 3:16

To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”

And a few verses from Psalms that I like

Psalm 10:17
LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear

Psalm 20:4
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,And fulfill all your purpose.

Psalm 21:2
You have given him his heart’s desire,And have not withheld the request of his lips.  Selah 

Psalm 27:4
One thing I have desired of the LORD,That will I seek: 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.

and one of my favourite verses

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

and a few verses from the New Testament

Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Mark 8:35
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.

John 15:7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

Psalm 9-10

Today I read Psalm 9-10

Psalm 9:2, 10

 ² I will be glad and rejoice in you; 
       I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

 ¹⁰ Those who know your name will trust in you, 
       for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 10:4

 ⁴ In his pride the wicked does not seek him; 
       in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

Psalm 7-8

Last monday (the 22. of june) I read Psalms 7-8. 

Psalm 7:1a, 10, 17

1 O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; ...

¹⁰ My shield ^[b] is God Most High, 

       who saves the upright in heart. 

¹⁷ I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness 
       and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Psalm 8:5

 ⁵ You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings^[f] 
       and crowned him with glory and honor.

I graduated from university yesterday!

Psalms 5-6

Psalm 5:3, 7, 11-12 

 ³ In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; 
       in the morning I lay my requests before you 
       and wait in expectation.

 ⁷ But I, by your great mercy, 
       will come into your house; 
       in reverence will I bow down 
       toward your holy temple.

¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad; 
       let them ever sing for joy. 
       Spread your protection over them, 
       that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

 ¹² For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; 
       you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Psalm 3-4

Today I read Psalm 3-4.

Psalm 3:3-5, 

 ³ But you are a shield around me, O LORD; 
       you bestow glory on me and lift ^[b] up my head.

 ⁴ To the LORD I cry aloud, 
       and he answers me from his holy hill. 
       Selah

 ⁵ I lie down and sleep; 
       I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

b Psalm 3:3 Or LORD , / my Glorious One, who lifts

Psalm 4:1, 3, 8

 ¹ Answer me when I call to you, 
       O my righteous God. 
       Give me relief from my distress; 
       be merciful to me and hear my prayer.

 ³ Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; 
       the LORD will hear when I call to him.

 ⁸ I will lie down and sleep in peace, 
       for you alone, O LORD, 
       make me dwell in safety.

Psalms

I decided to read next the book of Psalms because I read it very seldom.

Today I read the first two chapters.

Psalm 1:1-2, 3c, 

¹ Blessed is the man 

       who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked 

       or stand in the way of sinners 

       or sit in the seat of mockers.

 ² But his delight is in the law of the LORD, 

       and on his law he meditates day and night.

³ ...Whatever he does prospers.

memory verse: Psalm 1:1

¹ Blessed is the man 

       who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked 

       or stand in the way of sinners 

       or sit in the seat of mockers.

James 5

James 5:7-16

⁷Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. ⁸You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. ⁹Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! 10Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. ¹¹As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. ¹²Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned. 

13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. ¹⁴Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.¹⁵And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

James 3-4

James 3: 13-18

¹³Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. ¹⁴But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. ¹⁵Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. ¹⁶For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. ¹⁷But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. ¹⁸Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

^{James 4:1-3, 7-10, 13-17}

^{1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.} 

^{7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.}

 ¹³Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." ¹⁴Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. ¹⁵Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." ¹⁶As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. ¹⁷Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

James 2

James 2:1, 8, 14, 17, 24, 26

1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. 

8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself,"[a] you are doing right. 

14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 

17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

26As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

a. James 2:8 Lev. 19:18

Finally I have decided what to read next, I'm going to read James. 

James 1:2-8, 12-19, 21-25, 27

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 16Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. 19My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

This is the first time I post Bible verses after getting a used mac ;-) It took me a while to decide what book of the Bible I wanted to post verses from next, but I finally decided to read Romans. I think Romans are one of my favorite books of the Bible. 

Hebrews 13

Hebrews 13: 1-6, 8, 17

1Keep on loving each other as brothers. 2Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. 3Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."[a] 6So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"[b]

8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

17Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

a. Hebrews 13:5 Deut. 31:6

b. Hebrews 13:6 Psalm 118:6,7

Hebrews 9-10

Hebrews 9:11-15, 27-28

11When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here,[b] he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. 12He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. 13The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,[c] so that we may serve the living God!
15For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

b. Hebrews 9:11 Some early manuscripts are to come
c. Hebrews 9:14 Or from useless rituals

Hebrews 10:15-25, 35-36

15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: 16"This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds."[g] 17Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."[h] 18And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. 19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

35So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

g. Hebrews 10:16 Jer. 31:33
h. Hebrews 10:17 Jer. 31:34

Hebrews 7-8

Hebrews 7:25

25Therefore he is able to save completely[c] those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

c. Hebrews 7:25 Or forever

Hebrews 8:1-2

1The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

Hebrews 5-6

Hebrews 5:11-14

11 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 6:4-6, 12

4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away,[d] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

d. Hebrews 6:6 Or and have fallen away

Hebrews 3-4

Hebrews 3: 1, 4, 12-14
1Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus...
4For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end...

Hebrews 4: 12, 16
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews

Next I decided to read Hebrews, today I read the first two chapters.

Hebrew 1:1-2

1God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;...

Hebrew 2:1, 10, 14-15, 18

1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

14Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Joshua, Isaiah and Philippians

Today I had a job interview, and a few hours before the interview, I was getting a little nervous. I went to the prayer meeting at school and picked verses from a small box with Bible verses. God gave me three verses that really spoke to my situation. These three verses were:

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

and

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.

a. Philippians 4:13 NU-Text reads Him who.

All verses are from NKJV.

p.s. The job interview went well. I was a bit nervous on the way but not so nervous during the interview.

2 Timothy 4

2 Timothy 4:2-4, 18

2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

18The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 3

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 14-17

1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 2

2 Timothy 2:1, 11-13, 15-16, 22

1You then...be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
11Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; 12if we endure, we will also reign with him. f we disown him, he will also disown us; 13if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
22Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2 Timothy

So now I have finished reading 1 Timothy. Next I will read 2 Timothy.

here are some verses from the first chapter(2 Timothy 1:7, 9-10, 14) :

7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
9who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
14Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

1 Timothy 6

1 Timothy 6:6-16

6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen

I have created a new blogsite to post verses from the Bible.
Right now I'm reading 1 Timothy

1 Timothy

I started reading 1 Timothy a few days ago. I decided to post a few verses every day, which I did. But then I wanted to make a new blog, to keep the verses apart from my other blog.

These are the verses I have posted on my other blogsite http://puritygirl86.livejournal.com/
until now:

1 Timothy 2
Mar. 2nd, 2009 at 6:45 PM
1 Timothy 2:8-15.
8I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. 9I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15But women[a] will be saved[b] through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

1 Timothy 2:15 Greek she
1 Timothy 2:15 Or restored


1 Timothy 3
Mar. 3rd, 2009 at 9:03 PM
1 Timothy 3:11,14b, 15b
11In the same way, their wives[b] are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. 14...I am writing you these instructions so that, 15...you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

b. 1 Timothy 3:11 Or way, deaconesses


1 Timothy 4
Mar. 4th, 2009 at 9:53 PM
1 Timothy 4:4-5, 12-15
4For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer. 12Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 13Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 15Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.


From now on I will post verses here.
