PSALM 80:14-15 RETURN,  WE BESEECH THEE,  O GOD OF HOSTS:  LOOK DOWN  FROM HEAVEN,  AND  BEHOLD,  AND  VISIT THIS VINE;  AND  THE VINEYARD   WHICH  THY RIGHT HAND  HATH PLANTED,  AND  THE BRANCH THAT  THOU MADEST  STRONG FOR  THYSELF.  LOVE

PSALM 66:7-10 HE RULETH BY HIS POWER   FOR EVER; HIS EYES BEHOLD THE NATIONS:   LET NOT THE REBELLIOUS EXALT THEMSELVES. SELAH. O BLESS OUR GOD,  YE PEOPLE,  AND  MAKE THE VOICE OF HIS PRAISE TO BE HEARD:   WHICH HOLDETH OUR SOUL IN LIFE,   AND  SUFFERETH NOT  OUR FEET  TO BE MOVED.   FOR THOU, O GOD, HAST PROVED US: THOU HAST TRIED US, AS SILVER IS TRIED.  LOVE

COLOSSIANS 2:18-19 LET NO MAN BEGUILE YOU OF YOUR REWARD   IN A VOLUNTARY HUMILITY   AND  WORSHIPING OF ANGELS,   INTRUDING INTO THOSE THINGS WHICH HE HATH NOT SEEN, VAINLY PUFFED UP BY HIS FLESHLY MIND, AND  NOT HOLDING THE HEAD,  FROM WHICH  ALL THE BODY  BY JOINTS AND BANDS  HAVING  NOURISHMENT  MINISTERED,  AND  KNIT TOGETHER,  INCREASETH  WITH  THE INCREASE OF GOD LOVE

ISAIAH 9:6 FOR  UNTO US  A CHILD IS BORN,  UNTO US  A SON IS GIVEN:  AND  THE GOVERNMENT  SHALL BE UPON  HIS SHOULDER;  AND  HIS NAME SHALL  BE CALLED  WONDERFUL,  COUNSELLOR,   THE MIGHTY GOD,  THE EVERLASTING FATHER,  THE PRINCE OF PEACE. LOVE

MATTHEW 2:1-2 NOW  WHEN  JESUS WAS BORN  IN  BETHLEHEM  OF  JUDAEA   IN THE  DAYS OF HEROD THE KING,  BEHOLD  THERE CAME  WISE MEN  FROM  THE EAST TO JERUSALEM,  SAYING,  WHERE IS HE  THAT IS BORN  KING  OF  THE JEWS?   FOR  WE HAVE SEEN  HIS  STAR  IN THE EAST,  AND  ARE COME  TO WORSHIP  HIM.  LOVE 

PSALM 50:1-6 THE MIGHTY GOD,   EVEN  THE LORD,  HATH SPOKEN,  AND  CALLED  THE EARTH  FROM  THE RISING OF THE SUN UNTO  THE GOING DOWN  THEREOF.   OUT OF ZION, THE PERFECTION OF BEAUTY, GOD HATH SHINED.  OUR GOD SHALL COME, AND SHALL NOT KEEP SILENCE:   A FIRE SHALL DEVOUR BEFORE HIM, AND IT SHALL BE VERY TEMPESTUOUS ROUND ABOUT HIM. HE SHALL CALL TO THE HEAVENS FROM ABOVE, AND TO THE EARTH, THAT  HE MAY JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.   GATHER MY SAINTS TOGETHER UNTO ME; THOSE THAT HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH ME BY SACRIFICE. AND  THE HEAVENS  SHALL DECLARE  HIS  RIGHTEOUSNESS:  FOR GOD IS JUDGE HIMSELF .  SELAH.   LOVE

1 KINGS 20:1314 AND,  BEHOLD,  THERE CAME  A PROPHET  UNTO AHAB  KING OF ISRAEL,  SAYING,  THUS SAITH THE LORD,  HAST THOU  SEEN ALL  THIS GREAT MULTITUDE?  BEHOLD,  I WILL  DELIVER IT  INTO THINE HAND THIS DAY;  AND  THOU SHALT  KNOW  THAT  I AM THE LORD.  AND  AHAB SAID,  BY WHOM?  AND  HE SAID,  THUS SAITH  THE LORD,  EVEN BY  THE YOUNG MEN  OF  THE PRINCES  OF  THE PROVINCES.  THEN HE SAID, WHO SHALL ORDER THE BATTLE, AND HE ANSWERED, THOU. LOVE

2 CORINTHIANS 1:18-22 BUT  AS GOD IS TRUE,  OUR WORD  TOWARD YOU  WAS NOT  YEA AND NAY. FOR  THE SON OF GOD,  JESUS CHRIST,  WHO IS  PREACHED  AMONG YOU BY US,  EVEN BY  ME  AND  SILVANUS AND TIMOTHEUS,  WAS NOT  YEA AND NAY,  BUT IN HIM WAS YEA. FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YEA, AND IN HIM AMEN, UNTO THE GLORY OF GOD BY  US.  NOW HE WHICH STABLISHETH US WITH YOU IN CHRIST, AND HATH ANOINTED US, IS GOD; WHO HATH ALSO SEALED US,   AND GIVEN THE EARNEST OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS.   LOVE

ISAIAH 55:5 BEHOLD,  THOU SHALT  CALL A NATION  THAT  THOU KNOWEST NOT,  AND  NATIONS  THAT KNEW  NOT THEE SHALL RUN  UNTO  THEE  BECAUSE  OF THE  LORD THY GOD,  AND  FOR   THE HOLY  ONE  OF  ISRAEL;   FOR  HE  HATH  GLORIFIED  THEE.  LOVE

ISAIAH 57:19-21 I CREATE THE FRUIT  O F  THE LIPS;   PEACE,  PEACE  TO HIM  THAT IS  FAR OFF,  AND  TO HIM  THAT  IS  NEAR,  SAITH THE LORD;  AND  I WILL HEAL HIM.   BUT  THE WICKED  ARE  LIKE  THE TROUBLED SEA,  WHEN IT  CANNOT REST,  WHOSE  WATERS CAST  UP  MIRE AND DIRT.  THERE IS NO PEACE,  SAITH MY GOD,  TO  THE WICKED.  LOVE

PSALM 18:20-24 THE LORD REWARDED  ME  ACCORDING  TO MY RIGHTEOUSNESS;  ACCORDING TO  THE CLEANNESS OF MY HANDS  HATH HE  RECOMPENSED ME.   FOR  I HAVE KEPT  THE WAYS OF THE LORD,  AND  HAVE NOT WICKEDLY  DEPARTED FROM  MY GOD.  FOR ALL HIS  JUDGEMENTS  WERE BEFORE ME,  AND  I DID NOT PUT  AWAY HIS STATUTES  FROM ME.   I WAS ALSO UPRIGHT  BEFORE HIM,  AND  I KEPT MYSELF  FROM  MINE INIQUITY.  THEREFORE  HATH THE LORD  RECOMPENSED ME   ACCORDING  TO MY  RIGHTEOUSNESS,  ACCORDING  TO  THE CLEANNESS  OF  MY HANDS  IN  HIS EYESIGHT.   LOVE

PROVERBS 1:2-6 TO KNOW  WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION;   TO PERCEIVE  THE WORDS OF UNDERSTANDING;  TO RECEIVE  THE INSTRUCTION OF  WISDOM,  JUSTICE,  AND  JUDGMENT,  AND  EQUITY;  TO GIVE SUBTILTY  TO THE SIMPLE,  TO THE YOUNG MAN  KNOWLEDGE AND DISCRETION.  A WISE MAN WILL HEAR,  AND  WILL INCREASE LEARNING;  AND  A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING  SHALL ATTAIN  UNTO WISE COUNSELS:  TO UNDERSTAND A PROVERB,  AND  THE INTERPRETATION;   THE WORDS OF THE WISE,  AND  THEIR DARK SAYINGS.  THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS  THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE:  BUT FOOLS DESPISE  WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION. LOVE

BUT  NEW WINE MUST BE PUT INTO NEW BOTTLES; AND BOTH ARE PRESERVED.   NO MAN ALSO  HAVING DRUNK OLD WINE  STRAIGHTWAY  DESIRETH NEW:  FOR HE SAITH,  THE OLD IS BETTER.   LOVE

ISAIAH 33:14-17 THE SINNERS  IN  ZION ARE AFRAID;  FEARFULNESS  HATH SURPRISED  THE HYPOCRITES.   WHO AMONG  US SHALL DWELL  WITH  THE DEVOURING FIRE?  WHO AMONG  US  SHALL DWELL  WITH  EVERLASTING BURNINGS?  HE THAT  WALKETH RIGHTEOUSLY,  AND  SPEAKETH UPRIGHTLY;  HE THAT  DESPISETH  THE GAIN OF OPPRESSIONS,  THAT  SHAKETH HIS HANDS FROM  HOLDING BRIBES,  THAT  STOPPETH  HIS EARS  FROM  HEARING OF BLOOD,  AND  SHUTTETH  HIS EYES  FROM  SEEING EVIL;  HE SHALL  DWELL ON HIGH:  HIS  PLACE OF DEFENCE  SHALL BE  THE MUNITIONS OF ROCKS:  BREAD  SHALL  BE GIVEN  HIM;  HIS  WATERS  SHALL BE SURE.  THINE EYES SHALL SEE THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY: T...
