GRACE UPON GRACE

1 SAMUEL 2:2-3 THERE IS NONE  HOLY  AS  THE LORD:  FOR  THERE IS NONE  BESIDE THEE:  NEITHER  IS  THERE ANY ROCK  LIKE OUR GOD.  TALK NO MORE  SO EXCEEDING  PROUDLY;  LET NOT  ARROGANCY  COME  OUT OF  YOUR  MOUTH:  FOR  THE LORD  IS  A  GOD OF KNOWLEDGE,  AND  BY HIM ACTIONS  ARE  WEIGHED. LOVE

1 CORINTHIANS 14:1-5 FOLLOW AFTER CHARITY,  AND  DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS,  BUT RATHER  THAT  YE  MAY PROPHESY.  FOR HE THAT SPEAKETH  IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE  SPEAKETH NOT UNTO MEN,  BUT UNTO  GOD:  FOR NO MAN  UNDERSTANDETH HIM;  HOWBEIT IN THE SPIRIT  HE SPEAKETH MYSTERIES.  BUT HE  THAT PROPHESIETH  SPEAKETH UNTO MEN  TO  EDIFICATION,  AND  EXHORTATION,  AND  COMFORT.  HE THAT SPEAKETH IN AN UNKNOWN  TONGUE  EDIFIETH HIMSELF;  BUT HE  THAT PROPHESIETH  EDIFIETH THE CHURCH.  I WOULD THAT YE ALL SPAKE  WITH  TONGUES  BUT  RATHER  THAT YE PROPHESIED:   FOR GREATER IS HE THAT PROPHESIETH THAN HE THAT SPEAKETH WITH TONGUES,   EXCEPT HE INTERPRET,  THAT  THE CHURCH  MAY RECEIVE  EDIFYING...

PROVERBS 6:16-24 THESE SIX  THINGS  DOTH THE LORD HATE:  YEA, SEVEN  ARE  AN ABOMINATION  UNTO HIM:   A PROUD LOOK,  A LYING TONGUE,  AND  HANDS THAT SHED  INNOCENT BLOOD,  AN HEART  THAT DEVISETH  WICKED IMAGINATIONS,  FEET THAT BE SWIFT  IN  RUNNING TO MISCHIEF,  A FALSE WITNESS  THAT SPEAKETH LIES,  AND  HE THAT SOWETH DISCORD  AMONG BRETHREN.   MY SON,  KEEP THY FATHER'S COMMANDMENT,  AND  FORSAKE NOT  THE LAW OF THY MOTHER:   BIND  THEM CONTINUALLY  UPON THINE HEART,  AND  TIE THEM ABOUT THY NECK.   WHEN THOU GOEST, IT SHALL LEAD THEE; WHEN THOU SLEEPEST, IT SHALL KEEP THEE; AND WHEN THOU AWAKEST, IT SHALL TALK WITH THEE.   FOR  THE COMMANDMENT  ...

ISAIAH 48:10-13 BEHOLD,  I HAVE REFINED THEE,  BUT NOT  WITH SILVER;   I HAVE CHOSEN THEE  IN  THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION.  FOR  MINE OWN SAKE,  EVEN  FOR  MINE OWN SAKE,  WILL I DO  IT:  FOR  HOW SHOULD  MY NAME BE POLLUTED? AND  I WILL NOT GIVE  MY GLORY  UNTO ANOTHER.   HEARKEN UNTO ME,  O JACOB AND ISRAEL,  MY CALLED; I AM HE,  I AM THE FIRST,  I ALSO AM THE LAST.   MINE HAND ALSO HATH LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH, AND MY RIGHT HAND HATH SPANNED THE HEAVENS: WHEN I CALL UNTO THEM THEY STAND TOGETHER. LOVE

1 TIMOTHY 6:17-19 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; THAT THEY DO GOOD, THAT THEY BE RICH IN GOOD WORKS, READY TO DISTRIBUTE, WILLING TO COMMUNICATE;   LAY UP IN STORE FOR THEMSELVES A GOOD FOUNDATION   AGAINST THE TIME TO COME THAT THEY MAY LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE.   LOVE

1 PETER 3:17-20 FOR  IT IS BETTER,   IF  THE WILL  OF  GOD BE SO,  THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING.   FOR CHRIST ALSO HATH ONCE SUFFERED FOR SINS, THE JUST FOR THE UNJUST, THAT HE MIGHT BRING US TO GOD, BEING  PUT TO DEATH  IN THE FLESH,  BUT  QUICKENED  BY  THE SPIRIT:  BY  WHICH ALSO HE  WENT AND PREACHED  UNTO  THE SPIRITS IN PRISON;  WHICH  SOMETIME  WERE DISOBEDIENT,  WHEN ONCE THE LONGSUFFERING OF GOD WAITED  IN  THE DAYS OF NOAH,  WHILE  THE ARK WAS A PREPARING,  WHEREIN FEW,  THAT IS, EIGHT SOULS WERE SAVED BY WATER. LOVE

1 JOHN 2:15-17 LOVE NOT THE WORLD,  NEITHER THE THINGS  THAT  ARE  IN THE WORLD.  IF ANY MAN LOVE  THE WORLD,  THE LOVE OF THE FATHER  IS  NOT IN HIM.  FOR  ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD,  THE LUST OF THE FLESH,  AND  THE LUST OF THE EYES,  AND  THE PRIDE OF LIFE,  IS NOT  OF  THE FATHER,  BUT IS OF THE WORLD.  AND  THE WORLD PASSETH AWAY,  AND  THE LUST THEREOF:  BUT HE  THAT DOETH  THE WILL OF GOD  ABIDETH FOR EVER.
