Proverbs 6:16-19 #TPT
There are six evils God truly hates and a seventh that is an abomination to him:
Putting others down while considering yourself superior, spreading lies and rumors, spilling the blood of the innocent,
plotting evil in your heart toward another, gloating over doing what’s plainly wrong,
spouting lies in false testimony, and stirring up strife between friends. These are entirely despicable to God!

1 Corinthians 13:4-10 #TPT
Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.
Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.
Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.
Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others.
Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. Love never stops loving. It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten.
Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial,
but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 #TPT
Let joy be your continual feast.
Make your life a prayer.
And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.
Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.
And don’t be one who scorns prophecies,
but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right.
Avoid every appearance of evil.
Now, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely holy. And may your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.
The one who calls you by name is trustworthy and will thoroughly complete his work in you.

Psalms 34:4-9 #TPT
Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears!
Gaze upon him, join your life with his, and joy will come. Your faces will glisten with glory. You’ll never wear that shame-face again.
When I had nothing, desperate and defeated, I cried out to the Lord and he heard me, bringing his miracle-deliverance when I needed it most.
The angel of Yahweh stooped down to listen as I prayed, encircling me, empowering me, and showing me how to escape. He will do this for everyone who fears God.
Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him.
Worship in awe and wonder, all you who’ve been made holy! For all who fear him will feast with plenty.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 #TPT
But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me.
So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Hebrews 12:11-15 #TPT
Now all discipline seems to be painful at the time, yet later it will produce a transformation of character, bringing a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who yield to it.
So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees,
for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!
In every relationship be swift to choose peace over competition, and run swiftly toward holiness, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
Watch over each other to make sure that no one misses the revelation of God’s grace. And make sure no one lives with a root of bitterness sprouting within them which will only cause trouble and poison the hearts of many.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Galatians 3:11-14 #TPT
It is obvious that no one achieves the righteousness of God by attempting to keep the law, for it is written: “The one who is in a right relationship with God will live by faith!”
But keeping the law does not require faith, but self-effort. For the law teaches, “If you practice the principles of law, you must follow all of them.”
Yet, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed the curse completely as he became a curse in our place. For it is written: “Everyone who is hung upon a tree is cursed.”
Jesus Christ dissolved the curse from our lives, so that in him all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon gentiles. And now through faith we receive the promised Holy Spirit who lives in us.

Psalms 112:1-5 #TPT
Shout in celebration of praise to the Lord! Everyone who loves the Lord and delights in him will cherish his words and be blessed beyond expectation.
Their descendants will be prosperous and influential. Every generation of the righteous will experience his favor.
Great blessing and wealth fills the house of the wise, for their integrity endures forever.
Even if darkness overtakes them, sunrise-brilliance will come bursting through because they are gracious to others, so tender and true.
Life is good for the one who is generous and charitable, conducting affairs with honesty and truth.

Philippians 1:9-11 #TPT
I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things.
This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all —becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.
And you will be filled completely with the fruits of righteousness that are found in Jesus, the Anointed One—bringing great praise and glory to God!

In hope against hope Abraham believed!
Romans 4:18
Proverbs 13:12-14 #TPT
When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul.
Despise the word, will you? Then you’ll pay the price and it won’t be pretty! But the one who honors the Father’s holy instructions will be rewarded.
When the lovers of God teach you truth, a fountain of life opens up within you, and their wise instruction will deliver you from the ways of death.

Revelation 7:13-17 #TPT
Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these in glistening white robes, and where have they come from?”
I answered, “My Lord—you must know.” Then he said to me, “They are ones who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb and have emerged from the midst of great pressure and ordeal.
For this reason they are before the throne of God, ministering to him as priests day and night, within his cloud-filled sanctuary. And the enthroned One spreads over them his tabernacle-shelter.
Their souls will be completely satisfied. And neither the sun nor any scorching heat will affect them.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne continuously shepherds them unto life —guiding them to the everlasting fountains of the water of life. And God will wipe from their eyes every last tear!”

Proverbs 28:1 #TPT
Guilty criminals experience paranoia even though no one threatens them. But the innocent lovers of God, because of righteousness, will have the boldness of a young, ferocious lion!
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Matthew 5:9-12 #TPT
“How joyful you are when you make peace! For then you will be recognized as a true child of God.
“How enriched you are when persecuted for doing what is right! For then you experience the realm of heaven’s kingdom.
“How blessed you are when people insult and persecute you and speak all kinds of cruel lies about you because of your love for me!
So leap for joy—since your heavenly reward is great. For you are being rejected the same way the prophets were before you.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Proverbs 14:25-27 TPT
Speak the truth and you’ll save souls, but in the spreading of lies treachery thrives.
Confidence and strength flood the hearts of the lovers of God who live in awe of him, and their devotion provides their children with a place of shelter and security.
To worship God in wonder and awe opens a fountain of life within you, empowering you to escape death’s domain.
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Luke 22:24-27 #TPT
The disciples bickered over which one of them would be considered the greatest in the kingdom.
Jesus interrupted their argument, saying, “The kings and men of authority in this world rule oppressively over their subjects, claiming that they do it for the good of the people. They are obsessed with how others see them.
But this is not your calling. You will lead by a different model. The greatest one among you will live as one called to serve others without honor. The greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one who has a servant heart.
The leaders who are served are the most important in your eyes, but in the kingdom, it is the servants who lead. Am I not here with you as one who serves?
#Bible #ThePassionTranslation
Isaiah 49:15-17 #TPT
Yahweh responds, “But how could a loving mother forget her nursing child and not deeply love the one she bore? Even if a there is a mother who forgets her child, I could never, no never, forget you.
Can’t you see? I have carved your name on the palms of my hands! Your walls are always my concern.
Your children, your builders, are running back to you as those who ruined and destroyed you are running away.

Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love him in return and will reveal myself to him.”

Luke 24:44-49 #TPT
Then he said to them, “Don’t you remember the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you? I told you that I would fulfill everything written about me, including all the prophecies from the law of Moses through the Psalms and the writings of the prophets.”
He supernaturally unlocked their understanding to receive the revelation of the Scriptures,
and said to them, “Everything that has happened fulfills what the Scriptures prophesied of me. The Messiah was destined to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day.
Now you must go into all the nations and preach repentance and forgiveness of sins so that they will turn to me. Start right here in Jerusalem,
for you are my witnesses and have seen for yourselves all that has transpired.
I will send the fulfillment of the Father’s promise to you, so stay here in the city until you are clothed with the mighty power of heaven.”
