since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

They said to the woman,“ No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world.”

who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said,“ Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

And again Isaiah says,“ The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.”Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Are they servants of Christ?( I am talking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so: with much greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with more severe beatings, facing death many times.Five times I received from the Jews forty lashes less one.Three times I was beaten with a rod. Once I received a stoning. Three times I suffered shipwreck. A night and a day I spent adrift in the open sea.I have been on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from my own countrymen, in dangers from Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers from false brothers,in hard work and toil, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, many times without food, in cold and without enough clothing.

It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in people.

They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.He led them on a level road, that they might find a city in which to live.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!For he has satisfied those who thirst, and those who hunger he has filled with food.They sat in utter darkness, bound in painful iron chains,because they had rebelled against God’s commands, and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king.So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up.They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.He brought them out of the utter darkness, and tore off their shackles.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!For he shattered the bronze gates, and hacked through the iron bars.They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.They lost their appetite for all food, and they drew near the gates of death.They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done!Some traveled on the sea in ships, and carried cargo over the vast waters.They witnessed the acts of the LORD, his amazing feats on the deep water.He gave the order for a windstorm, and it stirred up the waves of the sea.They reached up to the sky, then dropped into the depths. The sailors’ strength left them because the danger was so great.They swayed and staggered like a drunk, and all their skill proved ineffective.They cried out to the LORD in their distress; he delivered them from their troubles.He calmed the storm, and the waves grew silent.The sailors rejoiced because the waves grew quiet, and he led them to the harbor they desired.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his loyal love, and for the amazing things he has done for people!Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people! Let them praise him in the place where the leaders preside!He turned streams into a desert, springs of water into arid land,and a fruitful land into a barren place, because of the sin of its inhabitants.As for his people, he turned a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into springs of water.He allowed the hungry to settle there, and they established a city in which to live.They cultivated fields, and planted vineyards, which yielded a harvest of fruit.He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number.As for their enemies, they decreased in number and were beaten down, because of painful distress and suffering.He would pour contempt upon princes, and he made them wander in a wasteland with no road.Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep.When the godly see this, they rejoice, and every sinner shuts his mouth.Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the LORD’s acts of loyal love!

Tell me! Present the evidence! Let them consult with one another! Who predicted this in the past? Who announced it beforehand? Was it not I, the LORD? I have no peer, there is no God but me, a God who vindicates and delivers; there is none but me.Turn to me so you can be delivered, all you who live in the earth’s remote regions! For I am God, and I have no peer.

“ I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life.

We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed,always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.

Command those who are rich in this world’s goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.

O LORD WHO RULES OVER ALL, how blessed are those who trust in you!

But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God’s loyal love.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, who is the Spirit of God, rests on you.But let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or as a troublemaker.

for which I suffer hardship to the point of imprisonment as a criminal, but God’s message is not imprisoned!So I endure all things for the sake of those chosen by God, that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory.

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.But as God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in distresses,in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in hunger,by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love,by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left,through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors, and yet true;as unknown, and yet well- known; as dying and yet– see!– we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed;as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

in case I am delayed, to let you know how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, because it is the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth.

Look, God is my deliverer! I will trust in him and not fear. For the LORD gives me strength and protects me; he has become my deliverer.”

We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.

He trusts in God– let God, if he wants to, deliver him now because he said,‘ I am God’s Son’!”

Let those delivered by the LORD speak out, those whom he delivered from the power of the enemy,

For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to die, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, we are dishonored!To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed, brutally treated, and without a roof over our heads.We do hard work, toiling with our own hands. When we are verbally abused, we respond with a blessing, when persecuted, we endure,when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.

Your justice is like the highest mountains, your fairness like the deepest sea; you preserve mankind and the animal kingdom.

Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

The LORD is good– indeed, he is a fortress in time of distress, and he protects those who seek refuge in him.

You, however, have followed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,as well as the persecutions and sufferings that happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra. I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all.Now in fact all who want to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys his servant? Whoever walks in deep darkness, without light, should trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

The LORD helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from evil men and delivers them, for they seek his protection.

He regarded abuse suffered for Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for his eyes were fixed on the reward.

Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed,“ Praised be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent forth his angel and has rescued his servants who trusted in him, ignoring the edict of the king and giving up their bodies rather than serve or pay homage to any god other than their God!

My blessing is on those people who trust in me, who put their confidence in me.
