GRACE UPON GRACE

PROVERBS 4:18-27   BUT  THE PATH OF THE JUST  IS AS  THE SHINING LIGHT,  THAT SHINETH  MORE AND MORE  UNTO THE PERFECT DAY.  THE WAY IS AS DARKNESS:  THEY KNOW  NOT AT WHAT THEY STUMBLE.   MY SON  ATTEND TO MY WORDS;  INCLINE  THINE EAR  UNTO MY SAYINGS.   LET THEM NOT  DEPART FROM THINE EYES;   KEEP THEM  IN  THE MIDST OF THINE HEART.   FOR  THEY ARE LIFE  UNTO THOSE THAT FIND THEM,  AND  HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH.   KEEP THY HEART   WITH  ALL DILIGENCE;   FOR  OUT OF IT  ARE  THE ISSUES OF LIFE.   PUT AWAY FROM THEE  A FROWARD MOUTH,   AND  PERVERSE LIPS  PUT FAR FROM THEE.  LET THINE EYES  LOOK RIGHT ON, AND  LET THINE EYELIDS  LOOK STRAIGHT  BEFORE THEE.   PONDER  THE PATH OF THY F...

1 CORINTHIANS 15:50-58 NOW THIS I SAY,  BRETHREN, THAT FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD; NEITHER DOTH CORRUPTION INHERIT INCORRUPTION. I SHEW YOU A MYSTERY; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY. SO WHEN THIS CORRUPTIBLE SHALL HAVE PUT ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL SHALL HAVE PUT ON IMMORTALITY, THEN SHALL BE BROUGHT TO PASS THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY? THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN; AND THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW. BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, BE YE STEDFAST, UNMOVABLE, ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE...

1 Timothy 1:12-20   AND I THANK CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD,  WHO HATH ENABLED ME,  FOR HE COUNTED ME FAITHFUL,  PUTTING ME INTO THE MINISTRY;  WHO WAS BEFORE A BLASPHEMER,  AND A PERSECUTOR, AND INJURIOUS:  BUT I OBTAINED MERCY,   BECAUSE I DID IT  IGNORANTLY IN UNBELIEF.   AND  THE GRACE  OF OUR LORD WAS  EXCEEDING ABUNDANT  WITH  FAITH AND LOVE  WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS.   THIS IS A FAITHFUL SAYING,  AND  WORTHY OF ALL ACCEPTATION,   THAT CHRIST JESUS  CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS;  OF WHOM I AM CHIEF.  HOWBEIT FOR THIS CAUSE I OBTAINED MERCY,  THAT IN ME FIRST  JESUS CHRIST  MIGHT SHEW FORTH ALL LONGSUFFERING,  FOR A PATTERN  TO THEM WHICH SHOULD  HEREAFTER BELIEVE ON HIM  TO LIFE EVERLASTING.  NOW UNTO  THE KING ETERNAL,  IMMORTAL,  INVISIBLE,...

ACTS 3:18-26   BUT THOSE THINGS,  WHICH GOD BEFORE HAD SHEWED   BY THE MOUTH  OF  ALL HIS PROPHETS,  THAT CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER, HE HATH SO FULFILLED. REPENT YE THEREFORE,   AND  BE CONVERTED  THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE  BLOTTED OUT,  WHEN  THE TIMES OF REFRESHING  SHALL COME  FROM  THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. AND  HE SHALL SEND JESUS CHRIST,  WHICH BEFORE WAS PREACHED UNTO YOU: WHOM  THE HEAVEN MUST RECEIVE  UNTIL  THE TIMES OF RESTITUTION  OF ALL THINGS,  WHICH GOD HATH SPOKEN   BY THE MOUTH  OF  ALL HIS HOLY PROPHETS  SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN. FOR MOSES TRULY SAID UNTO THE FATHERS,  A PROPHET  SHALL THE LORD YOUR GOD RAISE UP  UNTO YOU OF YOUR BRETHREN,  LIKE UNTO ME;  HIM SHALL YE HEAR  IN ALL THINGS  WHATSOEVER HE SHALL SAY UNTO YOU. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS,  THAT EVERY SOUL...

1 CORINTHIANS 15:23-37   BUT  EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER:   CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS;  AFTERWARD  THEY THAT ARE CHRIST'S  AT HIS COMING.  THEN COMETH THE END,   WHEN HE SHALL HAVE DELIVERED  UP THE KINGDOM OF GOD,  EVEN THE FATHER;  WHEN HE SHALL HAVE   PUT DOWN ALL  RULE AND ALL  AUTHORITY AND POWER.  FOR HE MUST REIGN,  TILL HE HATH PUT ALL  ENEMIES UNDER HIS FEET.    THE LAST ENEMY  THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED  IS DEATH. FOR HE HATH PUT ALL  THINGS UNDER HIS FEET.  BUT WHEN HE SAITH ALL THINGS  ARE PUT UNDER HIM,  IT IS MANIFEST  THAT  HE IS EXCEPTED,  WHICH DID PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM. AND  WHEN ALL THINGS  BE SUBDUED UNTO HIM,   THEN SHALL THE SON ALSO HIMSELF  BE SUBJECT UNTO HIM  THAT PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM,  THAT GOD MAY BE  ALL IN ALL. ELSE WHAT SHALL THEY DO...

ACTS 10:34-48   THEN PETER OPENED HIS MOUTH,  AND SAID,  OF A TRUTH I PERCEIVE  THAT GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS:   BUT  IN EVERY NATION  HE THAT FEARETH HIM,  AND  WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS,  IS  ACCEPTED WITH HIM.   THE WORD WHICH GOD SENT  UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISREAL,  PREACHING PEACE BY JESUS CHRIST  (HE IS LORD OF ALL:)   THAT WORD,  I SAY, YE KNOW,  WHICH WAS PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT ALL JUDAEA,  AND BEGAN FROM GALILEE,  AFTER THE BAPTISM WHICH JOHN PREACHED;  WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD,  HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH  WITH  THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH POWER: AND HEALING  ALL THAT WERE  OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL;  FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM. AND WE ARE WITNESS OF ALL THINGS  WHICH HE DID BOTH IN THE LAND OF THE JEWS,  WHOM THEY SLEW AND HANGED ON A TREE:  HIM GOD RAISED UP THE THI...

JOB 4:12-21     NOW A THING WAS  SECRETLY BROUGHT TO ME,  AND MINE EAR RECEIVED A LITTLE THEREOF. IN  THOUGHTS  FROM THE VISIONS OF THE NIGHT, WHEN  DEEP SLEEP  FALLETH ON MEN,  FEAR CAME UPON ME,  AND  TREMBLING, WHICH MADE  ALL MY BONES TO SHAKE.   THEN A SPIRIT PASSED  BEFORE MY FACE; THE HAIR OF MY FLESH STOOD UP: IT STOOD STILL, BUT  I COULD NOT DISCERN  THE FORM THEREOF:  AN IMAGE WAS  BEFORE MINE EYES,  THERE WAS SILENCE,  AND I HEARD A VOICE, SAYING,  SHALL MORTAL MAN BE MORE JUST THAN GOD?   SHALL A MAN  BE MORE PURE  THAN HIS MAKER?  BEHOLD, HE PUT NO  TRUST IN HIS SERVANTS; AND HIS ANGELS HE CHARGED  WITH FOLLY:HOW MUCH LESS  IN THEM THAT DWELL IN  HOUSES OF CLAY, WHOSE FOUNDATION  IS  THE DUST,  WHICH ARE CRUSHED  BEFORE THE MOTH...

PSALM 103:12-22 AS FAR AS  THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST,   SO FAR HATH HE REMOVED  OUR TRANSGRESSIONS FROM US.  LIKE AS A FATHER PITIETH HIS CHILDREN,  SO THE LORD PITIETH THEM THAT FEAR HIM.   FOR HE KNOWETH  OUR FRAME;  HE REMEMBERETH THAT  WE ARE DUST.  AS FOR MAN,  HIS DAYS ARE AS GRASS:   AS A FLOWER OF THE FIELD,  SO HE FLOURISHETH.  FOR THE WIND PASSETH OVER IT,  AND IT IS GONE;  AND THE PLACE THEREOF  SHALL KNOW IT NO MORE.     BUT THE MERCY  OF THE LORD IS FROM  EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING   UPON THEM THAT FEAR HIM,  AND  HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO  CHILDREN'S CHILDREN;  TO KEEP HIS COVENANT,  AND  TO THOSE THAT REMEMBER  HIS COMMANDMENTS TO DO THEM.  THE LORD HATH PREPARED  HIS THRONE IN THE HEAVENS;  AND  HIS KINGDOM RULETH  OVER ALL. ...

REVELATION 13:1-10   AND I STOOD UPON THE SAND OF THE SEA, AND SAW  A BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, AND UPON HIS HORNS TEN CROWNS, AND UPON HIS HEADS THE NAME OF BLASPHEMY. AND THE BEAST WHICH I  SAW WAS LIKE UNTO A LEOPARD, AND HIS FEET WERE AS THE FEET OF BEAR, AND HIS MOUTH AS THE MOUTH OF A LION: AND THE DRAGON GAVE HIM POWER, AND HIS SEAT, AND GREAT AUTHORITY. AND I SAW ONE OF THE HEADS AS IT WERE WOUNDED TO DEATH; AND HIS DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED: AND ALL THE WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST. AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON WHICH GAVE POWER UNTO THE BEAST: AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE BEAST. SAYING, WHO IS LIKE UNTO THE BEAST? WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM? AND THERE WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM A MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT  THINGS AND BLASPHEMIES; AND POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM TO CONTINUE FORTY AND TWO MONTHS. AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH IN BLASPHEMY AGAINST GOD, TO BLASPHEME HIS NAME, AND HIS TABERNACLE, AND THEM THAT DWELL IN HEAVEN.   AND IT W...

James 3:11-18   DOTH A FOUNTAIN SEND FORTH  AT THE SAME PLACE SWEET WATER AND BITTER? CAN THE FIG TREE,  MY BRETHREN,  BEAR OLIVE BERRIES?  EITHER A VINE, FIGS ?  SO CAN  NO FOUNTAIN  BOTH YIELD  SALT WATER AND FRESH. WHO IS A WISE MAN  AND  ENDUED WITH KNOWLEDGE  AMOUNG YOU?  LET HIM SHEW  OF  A GOOD CONVERSATION  HIS WORKS WITH  MEEKNESS AND WISDOM. BUT  IF YE HAVE  BITTER ENVYING AND STRIFE  IN YOUR HEARTS,  GLORY NOT,  AND  LIE NOT AGAINST THE TRUTH.  THIS WISDOM DESCENDETH  NOT FROM ABOVE,  BUT IS  EARTHLY ,  SENSUAL,  DEVILISH .  FOR WHERE  ENVYING AND STRIFE   IS,  THERE  IS  CONFUSION  AND  EVERY EVIL WORK.   BUT THE WISDOM  THAT IS FROM ABOVE IS  FIRST PURE,   THEN ...
