...and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword.
Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
… I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations...
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in…
At once I was in the Spirit...
And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure.
They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.
Armageddon…a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake.
From the sky huge hailstones about 100 pounds each fell upon men.
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful...
Behold, I am coming soon!
Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
N14 Office...New Testament Philosophy
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Rejoice with those who rejoice.
Live in harmony with one another.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.
Sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Devote yourselves to prayer…
Now make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you
Test everything. Hold onto the good. Avoid every kind of evil.
Train yourself to be godly.
Do not neglect your gift…
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
The spirit is the truth
Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.
N15 Office...New Testament Sex
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.
…offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord.
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you...therefore honor God with your body.
Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer.
But if an unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs – how can he please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world – how he can please his wife – and his interests are divided.
An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lords affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world – how she can please her husband.
He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body…
However, each one of you must love his wife as he loves himself.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God…
Keep yourself pure.
