Ministry to children, therefore, should be conducted in a humble spirit of service rather than in a patronizing manner, and should be viewed as a privilege rather than as an undesirable chore left to those rho are unable to attain to a higher calling.

COMMANDMENTS-EPISTLES

ROM 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

ROM 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

ROM 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

ROM 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

ROM 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

ROM 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

ROM 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

ROM 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

ROM 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

ROM 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

ROM 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

ROM 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

ROM 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

ROM 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

ROM 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

ROM 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

ROM 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

ROM 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

ROM 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

ROM 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

ROM 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

ROM 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

ROM 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

ROM 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

ROM 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

ROM 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

ROM 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

ROM 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

ROM 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

ROM 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

ROM 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

1CO 8:1 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

1CO 8:7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

1CO 8:8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

1CO 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

1CO 8:10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

1CO 8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

1CO 8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

1CO 8:13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

1CO 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

1CO 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

1CO 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

1CO 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

1CO 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.

1CO 10:28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:

1CO 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience?

1CO 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

1CO 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

1CO 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

1CO 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

1CO 16:14 Let all your things be done with charity.

2CO 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

GAL 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

GAL 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

GAL 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

GAL 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

EPH 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

EPH 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

EPH 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

EPH 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

EPH 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

EPH 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

EPH 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

EPH 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

EPH 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

EPH 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

EPH 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

EPH 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

EPH 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

EPH 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

EPH 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

EPH 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

EPH 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

EPH 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

EPH 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

EPH 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

EPH 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

EPH 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

EPH 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

EPH 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

EPH 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

EPH 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

EPH 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

EPH 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

EPH 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

EPH 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

EPH 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

PHI 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

PHI 1:28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

PHI 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

PHI 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

PHI 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

PHI 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

PHI 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

PHI 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

PHI 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

PHI 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

PHI 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

PHI 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

PHI 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

PHI 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

PHI 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

PHI 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

PHI 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

PHI 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

PHI 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

COL 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

COL 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

COL 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

COL 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

COL 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

COL 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

COL 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

COL 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

COL 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

COL 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

COL 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

COL 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

COL 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

COL 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

COL 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

COL 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

COL 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

COL 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

1TH 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

1TH 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

1TH 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

1TH 4:5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

1TH 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

1TH 4:9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

1TH 4:10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

1TH 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

1TH 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

1TH 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

1TH 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

1TH 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

1TH 5:13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

1TH 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

1TH 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

1TH 5:16 Rejoice evermore.

1TH 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

1TH 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1TH 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.

1TH 5:20 Despise not prophesyings.

1TH 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

1TH 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

2TH 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

2TH 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

2TH 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

2TH 3:8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

2TH 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

2TH 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

2TH 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

2TH 3:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

2TH 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

2TH 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

2TH 3:15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

1TI 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

1TI 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

1TI 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1TI 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1TI 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1TI 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1TI 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1TI 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1TI 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1TI 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1TI 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

1TI 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

1TI 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

1TI 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1TI 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1TI 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1TI 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.

1TI 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.

1TI 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

1TI 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1TI 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1TI 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

1TI 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1TI 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1TI 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

1TI 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

1TI 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

1TI 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1TI 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

1TI 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

1TI 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

1TI 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

1TI 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

1TI 5:2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

1TI 5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.

1TI 5:4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

1TI 5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

1TI 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

1TI 5:7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

1TI 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1TI 5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.

1TI 5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

1TI 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

1TI 5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

1TI 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

1TI 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

1TI 5:16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

1TI 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1TI 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

1TI 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

1TI 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

1TI 5:21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

1TI 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

1TI 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

1TI 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

1TI 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

1TI 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

1TI 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

1TI 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

1TI 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

2TI 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

2TI 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

2TI 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2TI 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2TI 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

2TI 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

2TI 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

2TI 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2TI 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

2TI 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

2TI 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

TIT 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

TIT 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

TIT 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

TIT 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

TIT 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

TIT 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

TIT 1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

TIT 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

TIT 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

TIT 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

TIT 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

TIT 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

TIT 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

TIT 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

TIT 2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

TIT 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

TIT 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

TIT 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

TIT 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

TIT 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

HEB 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

HEB 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

HEB 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

HEB 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

HEB 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

HEB 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

HEB 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

HEB 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

HEB 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

HEB 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

HEB 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

HEB 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

HEB 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

HEB 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

HEB 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

HEB 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

HEB 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

HEB 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.

HEB 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

HEB 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

HEB 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

HEB 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

HEB 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

HEB 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

HEB 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

HEB 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
