So do not be afraid. I am with you. Do not be terrified. I am your God. I will make you strong and help you. I will hold you safe in my hands. I always do what is right.

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision.“ Don’t be afraid,” he said.“ Keep on speaking. Don’t be silent.I am with you. No one will attack you and harm you. I have many people in this city.”

Joshua, no one will be able to oppose you as long as you live. I will be with you, just as I was with Moses. I will never leave you. I will never desert you.

I will not leave you like children who don’t have parents. I will come to you.Before long, the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.On that day you will realize that I am in my Father. You will know that you are in me, and I am in you.Anyone who has my commands and obeys them loves me. My Father will love the one who loves me. I too will love them. And I will show myself to them.”Then Judas spoke.“ Lord,” he said,“ why do you plan to show yourself only to us? Why not also to the world?” The Judas who spoke those words was not Judas Iscariot.Jesus replied,“ Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. We will come to them and make our home with them.

“ The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.”( Isaiah 7:14) The name Immanuel means“ God with us.”

The Lord was with Joseph. He gave him great success. Joseph lived in Potiphar’s house.Joseph’s master saw that the Lord was with him. He saw that the Lord made Joseph successful in everything he did.

The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.

Jesus is a witness about these things. He says,“ Yes. I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

But that is not the way of life in Christ that you learned about.You heard about Christ and were taught about life in him. What you learned was the truth about Jesus.You were taught not to live the way you used to. You must get rid of your old way of life. That’s because it has been made impure by the desire for things that lead you astray.You were taught to be made new in your thinking.You were taught to start living a new life. It is created to be truly good and holy, just as God is.So each of you must get rid of your lying. Speak the truth to your neighbor. We are all parts of one body.Scripture says,“ When you are angry, do not sin.”( Psalm 4:4) Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.Don’t give the devil a chance.Anyone who has been stealing must never steal again. Instead, they must work. They must do something useful with their own hands. Then they will have something to give to people in need.Don’t let any evil talk come out of your mouths. Say only what will help to build others up and meet their needs. Then what you say will help those who listen.Do not make God’s Holy Spirit mourn. The Holy Spirit is the proof that you belong to God. And the Spirit is the proof that God will set you completely free.Get rid of all hard feelings, anger and rage. Stop all fighting and lying. Don’t have anything to do with any kind of hatred.Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive one another, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done.

Where two or three people gather in my name, I am there with them.”

But what you teach must agree with true teaching.Tell the older men that in anything they do, they must not go too far. They must be worthy of respect. They must control themselves. They must have true faith. They must love others. They must not give up.In the same way, teach the older women to lead a holy life. They must not tell lies about others. They must not let wine control them. Instead, they must teach what is good.Then they can advise the younger women to love their husbands and children.The younger women must control themselves and be pure. They must take good care of their homes. They must be kind. They must follow the lead of their husbands. Then no one will be able to speak evil things against God’s word.In the same way, help the young men to control themselves.Do what is good. Set an example for them in everything. When you teach, be honest and serious.No one can question the truth. So teach what is true. Then those who oppose you will be ashamed. That’s because they will have nothing bad to say about us.Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything they do. Tell them to try to please their masters. They must not talk back to them.They must not steal from them. Instead, they must show that they can be trusted completely. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior appealing in every way.

Suppose anyone thinks they are a prophet. Or suppose they think they have other gifts given by the Holy Spirit. They should agree that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.

The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.

Now I want to talk about some other matters, brothers and sisters. We taught you how to live in a way that pleases God. In fact, that is how you are living. In the name of the Lord Jesus we ask and beg you to do it more and more.You know the directions we gave you. They were given by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

So Christ himself gave the gift of the apostles to the church. He gave the prophets and those who preach the good news. And he also gave the pastors and teachers as a gift to the church.He gave all these people so that they might prepare God’s people to serve. Then the body of Christ will be built up.That will continue until we all become one in the faith. We will also become one in the knowledge of God’s Son. Then we will be grown up in the faith. We will receive everything that Christ has for us.We will no longer be babies in the faith. We won’t be like ships tossed around by the waves. We won’t be blown here and there by every new teaching. We won’t be blown around by cleverness and tricks. Certain people use them to hide their evil plans.Instead, we will speak the truth in love. So we will grow up in every way to become the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the body.He makes the whole body grow and build itself up in love. Under the control of Christ, each part of the body does its work. It supports the other parts. In that way, the body is joined and held together.Here is what I’m telling you. I am speaking for the Lord as I warn you. You must no longer live as the Gentiles do. Their thoughts don’t have any purpose.

Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere. The Lord worked with them. And he backed up his word by the signs that went with it.

Christ is the one we preach about. With all the wisdom we have, we warn and teach everyone. When we bring them to God, we want them to be like Christ. We want them to be grown up as people who belong to Christ.

God said,“ I will be with you. I will give you a sign. It will prove that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship me on this mountain.”

the Lord was with him. He was kind to him. So the man running the prison was pleased with Joseph.

So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge.To knowledge, add the ability to control yourselves. To the ability to control yourselves, add the strength to keep going. To the strength to keep going, add godliness.To godliness, add kindness for one another. And to kindness for one another, add love.All these things should describe you more and more. They will make you useful and fruitful as you know our Lord Jesus Christ better.But what if these things don’t describe someone at all? Then that person can’t see very well. In fact, they are blind. They have forgotten that their past sins have been washed away.My brothers and sisters, try very hard to show that God has appointed you to be saved. Try hard to show that he has chosen you. If you do everything I have just said, you will never trip and fall.You will receive a rich welcome into the kingdom that lasts forever. It is the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Keep us from sinning when we are tempted. Save us from the evil one.’

“ So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash.”

They will sweep on into Judah like a flood. They will pass through Judah and reach all the way to Jerusalem. Immanuel, they will attack your land like an eagle. Their wings will spread out and cover it.”Sound the battle cry, you nations! But you will be torn apart. Listen, all you lands far away! Prepare for battle! But you will be torn apart. Prepare for battle! But you will be torn apart.Make your battle plans! But you won’t succeed. Give your orders! But they won’t be carried out. That’s because God is with us.

The believers studied what the apostles taught. They shared their lives together. They ate and prayed together.

I praise you for being faithful in remembering me. I also praise you for staying true to the teachings of the past. You have stayed true to them, just as I gave them to you.

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you. Don’t turn away from his commands to the right or the left.

Once you were not a people. But now you are the people of God. Once you had not received mercy. But now you have received mercy.Dear friends, you are outsiders and those who wander in this world. So I’m asking you not to give in to your sinful desires. They fight against your soul.People who don’t believe might say you are doing wrong. But lead good lives among them. Then they will see your good deeds. And they will give glory to God on the day he comes to judge.Follow the lead of every human authority. Do this for the Lord’s sake. Obey the emperor. He is the highest authority.Obey the governors. The emperor sends them to punish those who do wrong. He also sends them to praise those who do right.By doing good you will put a stop to the talk of foolish people. They don’t know what they are saying.Live as free people. But don’t use your freedom to cover up evil. Live as people who are God’s slaves.Show proper respect to everyone. Love the family of believers. Have respect for God. Honor the emperor.Slaves, obey your masters out of deep respect for God. Obey not only those who are good and kind. Obey also those who are not kind.Suppose a person suffers pain unfairly because they want to obey God. This is worthy of praise.

The enemy who plants them is the devil. The harvest is judgment day. And the workers are angels.“ The weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire. That is how it will be on judgment day.

“ Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will have the right to come to the tree of life. They will be allowed to go through the gates into the city.

This is how it will be on judgment day. The angels will come. They will separate the people who did what is wrong from those who did what is right.

Give praise to his glorious name forever. May his glory fill the whole earth. Amen and Amen.

Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answered the king.“ Amen!” he said.“ May the Lord your God make it come true.

The Lord stood at my side. He gave me the strength to preach the whole message. Then all the Gentiles heard it. I was saved from the lion’s mouth.

I haven’t let anyone keep me from telling you everything God wants you to do.

You know that nothing has kept me from preaching whatever would help you. I have taught you in public and from house to house.I have told both Jews and Greeks that they must turn away from their sins to God. They must have faith in our Lord Jesus.

Give praise to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and ever. Then all the people said,“ Amen!” They also said,“ Praise the Lord.”

Be sure you do everything I am commanding you to do. Do not add anything to my commands. And do not take anything away from them.

I want you to remember the words the holy prophets spoke in the past. Remember the command our Lord and Savior gave through your apostles.

I passed on to you what I received from the Lord. On the night the Lord Jesus was handed over to his enemies, he took bread.

I am the Living One. I was dead. But now look! I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys to Death and Hell.

All who are forced to serve as slaves should consider their masters worthy of full respect. Then people will not speak evil things against God’s name and against what we teach.Some slaves have masters who are believers. They shouldn’t show their masters disrespect just because they are also believers. Instead, they should serve them even better. That’s because their masters are loved by them as believers. These masters are committed to caring for their slaves. These are the things you are to teach. Try hard to get the believers to do them.Suppose someone teaches something different than I have taught. Suppose that person doesn’t agree with the true teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. Suppose they don’t agree with godly teaching.Then that person is proud and doesn’t understand anything. They like to argue more than they should. They can’t agree about what words mean. All of this results in wanting what others have. It causes fighting, harmful talk, and evil distrust.

Brothers and sisters, here is a command we give you. We give it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep away from every believer who doesn’t want to work and makes trouble. Keep away from any believer who doesn’t live up to the teaching you received from us.You know how you should follow our example. We worked when we were with you.We didn’t eat anyone’s food without paying for it. In fact, it was just the opposite. We worked night and day. We worked very hard so that we wouldn’t cause any expense to any of you.We worked, even though we have the right to receive help from you. We did it in order to be a model for you to follow.Even when we were with you, we gave you a rule. We said,“ Anyone who won’t work shouldn’t be allowed to eat.”We hear that some people among you don’t want to work and are making trouble. They aren’t really busy. Instead, they are bothering others.We belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. So we strongly command people like that to settle down. They have to earn the food they eat.

Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives. There the disciples came to him in private.“ Tell us,” they said.“ When will this happen? And what will be the sign of your coming? What will be the sign of the end?”
