John 1
Bible-Loving
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all
things were made; without him nothing was made that has been
made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
…
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have
seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth.
Genesis 1
Bible-Loving
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the
earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the
deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw
that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And
there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Hebrews 4

12 For
the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any doubleedged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and
marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
2 Timothy 3: 16
Bible-Loving
16 All
Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God
may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
John 5: 39
Bible-Loving
39 You
study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them
you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about
me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
John 6: 63
Bible-Loving
63 The
Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have
spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.
Matthew 7: 24-27
Bible-Loving
24 “Therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them
into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The
rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat
against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on
the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not
put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on
sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew
and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear
much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing…
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it
will be done for you.
