Ecclesiastes 1211

The words of wise men are like goads,

and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails;

they are given by one Shepherd

Luke 944 "Let these words sink into your ears…”

John1423 "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and

My Father will love him, and

We will come to him and make Our abode (home) with him…”
21 He who has My commandments and keeps them

he it is that loves Me; and  he who loves Me

will be loved by My Father, and

I will love him and will disclose Myself to him…

 

2 Cor 71 Therefore, having these promises, beloved,

let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,

perfecting holiness in the fear of God

Matt.1028 "Do not fear those who kill the body

but are unable to kill the soul;

but rather fear Him who is able to

destroy both soul and body in hell.

John336"He who   believes in the Son has eternal life;

but he who  does not obey the Son will not see life,

but the wrath of God abides on him."

Rev 217 "He who overcomes will inherit all things, and

I will be his God and he will be My son

8"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and

abominable and murderers and immoral persons and

sorcerers and idolaters and all liars,

their part will be in the lake that burns with fire

and brimstone, which is the second death." 

 

1 Cor 611 Such were some of you; but you were washed,

but you were sanctified, but you were justified

in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and

in the Spirit of our God.

 

1 Pet 211 “Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims,

abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul…”

Rom813   for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die;

but if by the Spirit you are putting to death

the deeds of the body, you will live

2 Pet 29 the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and

to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

10and especially those who  indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and  

despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble…”

 

Matt 527 "You have heard that it was said to those of old

"You shall not commit adultery. 28But I say to you

that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her

has already committed adultery with her in his heart”  

Matt 189"If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and

throw it from you It is better for you to enter life with one eye,

than to have two eyes and be cast into the  fiery hell.

Mark 943 "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off;

it is better for you to enter life crippled, than,

having your two hands, to go into  hell, into the  unquenchable fire,

1 Cor 71 “...it is good for a man not to touch a woman..

7 I wish that all men were even as I myself am.

However, each man has his own gift from God,

one in this manner, and another in that…

29But this I say, brethren, the time is short,

so that from now on even those who have wives

should be as though they had none  

Matt 1912b there are [celibate] eunuchs who have made themselves

[celibate] eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake.

He who is able to accept it, let him accept it

 

Rom 1311 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time

to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand.

Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness,

not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.

 

Lev 192 "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them,

'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy”

Deut 1813 You shall be blameless before the LORD your God.

Matt 548 "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matt 520  "For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses

that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven…”

 

1 Cor 69  Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,

nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,

nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God..

Rev 2127 Nothing impure or unclean will ever enter it, nor

will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful and

no one who practices abomination and lying, (NKJV) ,

but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

John834Jesus.. [said] everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 

35The slave does not remain in the house forever;

the son does remain forever.."

 

Lk 13:24 Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you,

will seek to enter and will not be able.

Matt.713 ..for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction,

and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because  

narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life,

and there are few who find it.

Matt 721Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’

shall enter the kingdom of heaven,

but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that day,

‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,

cast out demons in Your name, and

done many wonders in Your name?’

 

23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;

depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Matt 2530 "Throw out the worthless slave into  the outer darkness;

in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

41b"…Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the  eternal fire

which has been prepared for  the devil and his angels;

 

Jas 121 “Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness,

in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your soul

1 John 32 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and

what we will be has not yet been made known. (SORRY JW’S!)

But we know that when He appears,

we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

3And everyone who has this hope in Him

purifies himself, just as He is pure. NKJV

John724 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and

puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock: NIV  

 

2 Cor 79 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry,

but that your sorrow led to repentance.

10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation,

not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death

Ps 11967 Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word…

Ps 11971 It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes. NIV

 

Eccl 1212But beyond this, my son, be warned:..

13The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: FEAR God and

keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.”
