Romans 1 - Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name; The Just Live by Faith; For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek; For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse; who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever; Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.

Romans 2 - The Fairness of God’s Judgment; Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things; Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance; For there is no partiality with God; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Romans 3 - Let God be true but every man a liar; As it is written, That You may be justified in Your words, and may overcome when You are judged; They have all turned aside; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no, not one; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Romans 4 - As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations; in the presence of Him Whom he believed (God); who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Romans 5 - Faith Triumphs in Trouble - Death in Adam, Life in Christ; Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; we also glory in tribulations; knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance character, and character hope; God demonstrates His Own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us; much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him; for if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the One Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

Romans 6 - Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts; and do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin; but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of righteousness to God; for sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under law but under grace; for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 7 - For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the Law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death; sin’s advantage in the Law; what shall we say then; is the Law sin; certainly not; I would not have known sin except through the Law; for I would not have known covetousness unless the Law had said, you shall not covet; for the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

Romans 8 - Salvation from sin, death, and suffering; there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; so then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God; but if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He Who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you; from suffering to glory; God’s everlasting Love.

Romans 9 - Nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac your seed shall be called; for the Scripture says to the Pharaoh; for this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you and that My name may be declared in all the earth; therefore He has mercy on whom He wills and whom He wills He hardens; who are you to reply against God; will the thing formed say to Him who formed it; does not the potter have power over the clay; behold, I lay in Zion a Stumbling Stone and Rock of Offense; whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.

Romans 10 - Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead; you will be saved; for with the heart one believes unto righteousness; with the mouth confession is made unto salvation; whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame; Israel rejects the Gospel; how then shall they call on Him in Whom they have not believed; how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard; how shall they hear without a preacher; so then faith comes by hearing; hearing by the Word of God.

Romans 11 - What then; Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded; just as it is written; God has given them a spirit of stupor; eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; branches were broken off that I might be grafted in; for if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Romans 12 - Living sacrifices to God; Christians should lead transformed lives; serve God with spiritual gifts; bless those who persecute you.

Romans 13 - Submit to government; obey authorities; love your neighbor; put on Christ.

Romans 14 - For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables; therefore let us not judge one another anymore; but rather resolve this; not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

Romans 15 - Bearing others burdens; Paul’s ministry to the Gentiles; glorify God together; avoid divisive persons.

Romans 16 - Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses; contrary to the doctrine which you learned; avoid them; for those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ; by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple; the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.

2 Corinthians 1 - He Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God; For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

2 Corinthians 2 - So that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow; lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

2 Corinthians 3 - Clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart; But their minds were blinded; For until this day the same veil remains un-lifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ; But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 4 - But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing; For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; For the things which are seen are temporary; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 5 - For we walk by faith, not by sight; For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad; Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new; Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us:  we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians 6 - For He says:  In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you; Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation; Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

2 Corinthians 7 - For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

2 Corinthians 8 - For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

2 Corinthians 9 - The Cheerful Giver - But this I say:  He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully; So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver; And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

2 Corinthians 10 - For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds; casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; For his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible; For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

2 Corinthians 11 - Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep.

2 Corinthians 12 - I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows -- such a one was caught up to the third Heaven; The Thorn in the Flesh; And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure; Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me; And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness; Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me; Love for the Church; Now for the third time I am ready to come to you.  And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you.  For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

2 Corinthians 13 - Coming with Authority; Paul’s Warning; Greetings and Benediction; This will be the third time I am coming to you; By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established; Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith.  Test yourselves.  Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed you are disqualified.

Galatians 1 - Paul greets Churches in Galatia; there is only one gospel; gospel is from God, not humans; Paul’s early life & testimony; Contacts at Jerusalem; Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days.

Galatians 2 - For before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision; I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Galatians 3 - Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham; There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 4 - And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, Abba, Father; Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ; What then was the blessing you enjoyed?  For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

Galatians 5 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor un-circumcision avails anything, but faith working through love; For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another; For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself; Walking in the Spirit; I say then:  Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh; Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are:  adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness; But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.  Against such there is no Law; And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires; If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit; Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 6 - Bear and Share the Burdens; Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted; Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap; And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart; Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Ephesians 1 - Paul’s feelings & prayer for Philippians; preaching the gospel from good or bad motives; living or dying; obeying the gospel.

v3: Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,

v4: just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

Ephesians 2 - For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest anyone should boast; For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them; For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.

Ephesians 3 - Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

Ephesians 4 - Therefore He says:  When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men; Now this, He ascended -- what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth; And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; Be angry, and do not sin:  do not let the sun go down on your wrath; nor give place to the devil; Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers; And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 5 - Redeeming the time, because the days are evil; And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit; Marriage -- Christ and the Church; Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord; Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself for her.

Ephesians 6 - Children and Parents - Family Responsibilities; the Christian’s Armor; Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right; Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth; with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men; knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free; Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil; For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places; Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand; Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness; and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all.

 

Philippians 1 - Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Philippians 2 - Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father; Be Light Bearers; Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you to make you will and act according to His good purpose; Do all things without complaining and disputing.

Philippians 3 - But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ; Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead; who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

Philippians 4 - Let your gentleness be known to all men; Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus; Meditate on These Things; Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy -- meditate on these things; Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content; I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me; And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

 

Colossians 1 - He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love; For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him.

Colossians 2 - Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ; Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Colossians 3 - Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth; Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds; Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them; Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged; And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men; knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ; But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

Colossians 4 - Instruction of Masters to servants; Let your speech be with grace; fellow-prisoner salute.

1 Thessalonians 1 - And to wait for His Son from Heaven, Whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 2 - For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

1 Thessalonians 3 - That no man should be moved by these afflictions:  for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto; stand fast in the Lord; To the end He may establish your hearts un-blamable in Holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 4 - For this is the will of God, your sanctification:  that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; The Comfort of Christ’s Second Coming; But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope; For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus; For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep; For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.  And thus we shall always be with the Lord; therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 5 - For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night; See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all; Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you; Do not quench the Spirit; Do not despise prophecies; Abstain from every form of evil.

 

2 Thessalonians 1 - Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you.

2 Thessalonians 2 - Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition; who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God; And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time; For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way; And then the man of sin will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming; The coming of the man of sin is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders; and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved; And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie.

2 Thessalonians 3 - But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one;

Warning Against Idleness; But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us; For even when we were with you, we commanded you this:  If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat; But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good; And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed; Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

 

1 Timothy 1 - Although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

1 Timothy 2 - For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus; Instruction for Men and Women in the Church; I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing; Let a woman learn in silence with all submission; And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

1 Timothy 3 - For if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the Church of God.

1 Timothy 4 - Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth; For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; or it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.

1 Timothy 5 - But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever; And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not; Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure; No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

1 Timothy 6 - Instructions against Error and Greed; If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions; For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out; But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition; For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows; Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses; Guard the Faith; guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge.

 

2 Timothy 1 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 2 - And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also; Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things; If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself; But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness; Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart; And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient; in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth; and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

2 Timothy 3 - Bad people in the last days; controlling and resistant people; endure in persecution; purpose & usefulness of Scripture.
2 Timothy 4 - Urge to preach the message; Paul declares his faithfulness & hope; about people for & against the message; Paul’s closing words.

 

Titus 1 - In hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began; not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth; To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled; They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

Titus 2 - Sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
Titus 3 - Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work; to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.

 

Philemon 1 - Paul writes to a former slave; no longer as a slave but more than a slave -- a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.


Hebrews 1 - God’s Son: reveals God, Creator, greater than angels, called God, eternal kingdom, eternal; angels are spirits who serve God.
Hebrews 2 - Importance & evidence of salvation; humans made future rules; Jesus union with & ministry to people to bring them to salvation.
Hebrews 3 - Jesus is greater than Moses; God’s anger with rebellious Israelites; do not resist God’s voice, be stubborn or disbelieving.

Hebrews 4 - Sabbath comparison; For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it; For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His; For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart; And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account; For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin; Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 5 - And no man takes this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God; So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an high priest; but He that said unto Him, Thou art My Son, to day have I begotten Thee; Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec; For every one that uses milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness.

Hebrews 6 - For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the Heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit; and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come; if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

Hebrews 7 - Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually; Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak.

Hebrews 8 - But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises; For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.

Hebrews 9 - Sanctuary apartment breakdown; Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption; And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission; And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.

Hebrews 10 - Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified; And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God; Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more; Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching; It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 11 - Faith of the fathers:  Examples including:  Abraham, Moses & many others; looking forward by faith to a heavenly home.

Hebrews 12 - Renew Your Spiritual Life; Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us; looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God; The Discipline of God; For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls; Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it; Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord; looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

Hebrews 13 - Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels; Remember the prisoners as if chained with them -- those who are mistreated -- since you yourselves are in the body also; Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have.  For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you; Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account.  Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

James 1 - Enduring faith & wisdom from God, glad with poverty or riches, faithful in difficulties & temptation, hearing & doing good.
James 2 - Treat people equally, do not judge or create distinctions between people; actions as well as our faith put us right with God.
James 3 - Our tongue & words influence our whole being & others; tongue needs to be controlled; wisdom from heaven & unspiritual wisdom.
James 4 - Friendship with the world means to be an enemy of God; warnings against judging each other; not good to boast about our plans.

 

1 Peter 1 - In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials; that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ; having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever.

1 Peter 2 - But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Submission to Government; Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme; For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently?  But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God; Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness -- by Whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 3 - Submission to Husbands; Serving and Suffering for God’s Glory; Suffering for Right and Wrong; by Whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison.
1 Peter 4 - Be hospitable to one another without grumbling; As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God; For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God.

1 Peter 5 - casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you; Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

 

2 Peter 1 - His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue; Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation.

2 Peter 2 - Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment; whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord; For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning; For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the Holy Commandment delivered to them; But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to his own vomit, and, a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

2 Peter 3 - Knowing this first:  that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts; and saying, Where is the promise of His Coming?  For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation; But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day; The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance; The Day of the Lord; But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.


1 John 1 - Word of life declared; fellowship with Father & Son; God is light; walking in the light; our sin & God’s forgiveness.

1 John 2 - The Test of Knowing Christ; My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin.  And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world; The Test of Knowing Him; Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His Commandments; He who says, I know Him, and does not keep His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; But whoever keeps His Word, truly the love of God is perfected in him.  By this we know that we are in Him; He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked; He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now; Do Not Love the World; Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son; But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; The Children of God; And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

1 John 3 - Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is; He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.  For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil; We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death; And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His Commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

1 John 4 - Love for God and One Another; Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world; By this you know the Spirit of God:  Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God; and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.  And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world; He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world; There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear; Obedience by Faith; If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen.

1 John 5 - For there are three that bear witness in Heaven:  the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and These Three are One; Confidence and Compassion in Prayer; Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us; If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death.  There is sin leading to death.  I do not say that he should pray about that; Knowing the True -- Rejecting the False; We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

 

2 John 1 - Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward; If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

 

3 John 1 - Letter to Gaius; taking nothing of the Gentiles; Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

 

Jude 1 - And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; Encounter with Satan; Yet Michael the Archangel, in contending with the devil, when He disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you; how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts; These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

 

Revelation 1 - Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near; and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever; Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him; I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.

Revelation 2 Christ’s Letters to Four Churches; Ephesus; Who walks in the midst of the seven golden Candlesticks; Smyrna; the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate; Pergamos; Thyatira.

Revelation 3 - Christ’s Letters to Three Churches; Sardis; Philadelphia; Laodiceans; cold nor hot.

Revelation 4 - The Throne Room of Heaven; John’s Vision of God’s Throne; After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in Heaven; The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle; The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within.  And they do not rest day or night, saying:  Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.

Revelation 5 - Opening of the scroll and to loosening of the seven seals.

Revelation 6 - The Four Horses; The Third, Fourth, Fifth (Cry of the Myrters) & Sixth Seals.

Revelation 7 - One hundred and forty-four thousand.

Revelation 8 - The Seventh Seal and Four Trumpets; First Trumpet:  Vegetation Struck; Second Trumpet:  The Seas Struck; Third Trumpet:  The Waters Struck; Fourth Trumpet:  The Heavens Struck; Woe, woe, woe.

Revelation 9 - Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.  And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power; In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them; Abaddon, Apollyon; Releasing of the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.

Revelation 10 - Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them; So I went to the angel and said to him, Give me the little book.  And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.

Revelation 11 - Two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth; two olive trees and the two lamp-stands; Two Witnesses Killed; Two Witnesses Resurrected; great earthquake; Then the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen; great hail.

Revelation 12 - Then the woman fled into the wilderness; for one thousand two hundred and sixty days; So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him; the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.

Revelation 13 - The Beast from the Sea and the Beast from the Land; having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.  And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed.  And all the world marveled and followed the beast; It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them.  The Beast from the Earth; Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon; He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads; that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name; the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man:  His number is 666.

Revelation 14 - These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins.  These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes.  These were redeemed from among men, being first-fruits to God and to the Lamb; And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God; The Proclamations of Three Angels.

Revelation 15 - And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God; And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

Revelation 16 - First Bowl:  Loathsome Sores; Second Bowl:  The Sea Turns to Blood; Third Bowl:  The Waters Turn to Blood; Fourth Bowl:  Men Are Scorched; Fifth Bowl:  Darkness and Pain; Sixth Bowl:  Euphrates Dried Up; Armageddon.

Revelation 17 - The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits; The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast; And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 18 - Therefore her plagues will come in one day -- death and mourning and famine; The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall; For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.

Revelation 19 - Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations; He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God; And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army; Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet; These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone; And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse.

Revelation 20 - Satan Bound; the Thousand-Year Reign; Final Judgment; And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years; But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection; Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.  Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years; Satanic Rebellion Crushed; Gog and Magog; cast into the lake of fire.  This is the second death; anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21 - All Things Made New; The New Jerusalem; Bride; God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.  There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away; He who overcomes shall inherit all things; the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl.  And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass; The Glory of the New Jerusalem; the temple.

Revelation 22 - Jesus Testifies to the Churches; I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last; A Warning; Surely I am coming quickly.

BIBLE BOOK SUMMARIES

 

 

That Jesus Christ should be found on every page is a fact.  If you do not find Jesus on any page, attempt to read the page again.

 

The Book of Genesis = The account of the first Adam and his fall and the consequences of that fall.  While Jesus represents the second Adam and how He will redeem the errors of the first Adam.

 

The Book of Exodus = The account of Moses redeeming his people from Satanic influences and slavery, by reason of a man who was drawn out of waters, moved to the wilderness for 40 years, and then returns to deliver his people.  Jesus was baptized in water, is tempted for 40 days in the wilderness, then begins the process of redeeming His people.

 

The Book of Leviticus = This Book is about the high priest cleansing his people from their sins.  Jesus is our High Priest Who cleanses His people from their sins.

 

The Book of Numbers = This Book is about Moses leading the 12 tribes of Israel and calling the 70 elders.  Jesus leads the 12 disciples and ordains 70.

 

The Book of Deuteronomy = This Book is about Moses’ final sermon, in which he calls together all of the 12 tribes, repeats the covenant, goes out into the wilderness to die by himself, and then he dies, is buried, and then is resurrected.  Jesus, before He is to die, calls together the 12 apostles at what is called “The last supper,” then He repeats the covenant, goes out to die alone, and He does die, is buried, and is resurrected.

 

The Book of Joshua = This Book is the account of Israel pushing out Satan from the promised land, starting with a loud shout.  Jesus kicked Satan out of Heaven and now it is time to kick Satan out of control of the earth with His loud shout, “It is finished.”

 

The Book of Judges = This Book is about the 12 tribes of Israel going out to conquer the promised land without the physical leadership of one man.  Jesus, being resurrected, is no longer physically leading the 12 apostles; but they go out to conquer by spreading the Gospel to the known world.

 

The Book of Ruth = This Book is about a gentile woman with a Hebrew mother-in-law.  And this Gentile woman is working in the field, bringing in the sheaves.  And Boaz, who is a type of Christ, watches over her.  And by the way, Ruth says to her mother-in-law, “Your God will be my God.”  Jesus watches over His Gentile converts who are spreading the Gospel.

 

The Book of First Samuel = This Book is about the nation of Israel rejecting the priesthood (Samuel), and wanting an earthly king to rule over them instead.  As it turns out, this became a joining of Church and state.  By the time of Constantine (about 300 A.D.), the church joined its forces with the state.  Note:  But there has always remained a remnant Church somewhere throughout history.    

 

The Books of Second Samuel; First & Second Kings and Chronicles = All these detail Israel’s apostacies.  Which lead them to be captured by a nation called, “Mystery, Babylon,” i.e., pagan Rome, then Papal Rome.  Note:  This chronicles the 1260-year period of earths history, i.e., 538 A.D. to 1798 A.D.

 

The Book of Ezra = This Book contains three decrees that were issued on Israel’s behalf.  The first decree brought attention to the Sanctuary.  In 1844 A.D. Jesus leaves the ministry in the Holy Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary, moving into the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly sanctuary.  The second decree was pronounced against the enemies of God’s people.  This correlates to the Second Angels message against Babylon.  The third decree was for Israel to become its own nation with its own laws and religious system under protection of the ruling nation.  This correlates to the Third Angels message when the Seventh-Day Adventist Church was formed under the protection of the United States of America.

 

The Book of Nehemiah = In this Book is found the fourth decree.  Under the work of the Third Angels message much has been done.  But many have fallen and Christ has not come.  Nehemiah was sent to finish what was started but not finished.  And under the sounding of the Fourth Angle (of Revelation 18), a “loud cry” will be given and the work will be finished.

 

The Book of Esther = This Book is about a “Death Decree” given against the people of God, during the “Time of Trouble,” who refuse to keep the laws of the government, just before the Coming of Christ.  Note:  Since Mordecai would not bow to Haman, he went after Mordecai’s people.  And since Jesus would not bow to Satan, Satan is going after Jesus’ people.

 

The Book of Job = This Book covers the “Time of Trouble.”

 

The Book of Psalms = This Book is the One most referred to Book that people go to read when they are going through a “Time of Trouble.”

 

The Books of Proverbs & Ecclesiastes = These Books are about obtaining “wisdom.”  And “wisdom” is what God’s people will need in order to go through till the end of time on earth.

 

The Book of Song of Solomon = This Book is about the bridegroom coming for his bride.  Jesus will Come for His bride.

 

The Books of the Major Prophets = All relate the Comings of Christ and the setting up of His millennial Kingdom.

 

The Books of the Minor Prophets = All relate the “justice” of God throughout this entire process, and the judgments that will be discussed during the millennial period and eventually carried out after that period.  Thus, ending with the wicked being “ashes under the souls of the redeems feet.”

 

The Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John = These Books talk about how that then Christ will truly be with us (Mat. 1:21) throughout eternity.

 

The Book of Acts = This Book talks about the people of God being united into one Church.  The people of God will be united in one language in Heaven.
