[6] For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Book of Matthew: A Centurion solider's Faith



Matthew 8:5-10 (NKJV)

[5]Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
[6] saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
[7]And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
[8] The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.
[9] For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, “Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.”
[10] When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

Book of Luke: Your faith has made you well



Luke 8:43-48 (NKJV)

[43] Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,
[44] came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
[45] And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, Who touched Me?”
[46] But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”
[47] Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
[48] And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

Book of Ephesians: It's by grace we are saved




Ephesians 2:8-10 (NKJV)

[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
[9] not of works, lest anyone should boast.
[10] For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Book of Hebrews: Without faith it is impossible to please God



Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)

[6] But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Book of Luke: Mustard Seed of Faith



Luke 17:5-6 (NKJV)

[5] And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
[6] So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.

Book of John: Not to condemn, but to save



John 3:15-21 (NKJV)

[15] that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
[16] For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
[17] For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
[18] “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[19] And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[20] For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
[21] But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Book of Romans: God’s wrath on unrighteouness



Romans 1:20-32 (NKJV)


[20] 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,
[21] because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
[22] professing to be wise, they became fools,
[23] and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
[24] Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
[25] who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
[26] For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
[27] 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.
[28] 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;
[29] being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
[30] backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
[31] undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
[32] who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Book of Revelation~ Do not add or remove anything



Revelation 22:18-19 (NKJV)

[18] For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
[19] and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Book of Jude~ Apostates Predicted



Jude 1:16-19 (NKJV)

[16] These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.
[17] But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[18] how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
[19] These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

Book of III John~ I had many things to write



III John 1:13-14 (NKJV)

[13] I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink;
[14] but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face.
Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

Book of II John~ Beware of antichrist deceivers



II John 1:7-11 (NKJV)

[7] For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
[8] Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
[9] Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
[10] If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;
[11] for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

Book of I John~ Do not love the things in the world



I John 2:15-17 (NKJV)

[15] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
[16] For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
[17] And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Book of II Peter~ Deceptions of false teachers



2 Peter 2:18-2 (NKJV)

[18] For when they speak great swelling words of emptiness, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error.
[19] While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
[20] 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.
[21] 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.

Book of I Peter~ God resists the proud



I Peter 5:5-8 (NKJV)

[5] Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
[6] Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
[7] casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Book of James: Do not know what tomorrow will bring



James 4:13-17 (NKJV)


[13] Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit;”
[14] whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
[15] Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”
[16] But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
[17] Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Book of Hebrews: By faith we understand



Hebrews 11:1-3 (NKJV)

[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
[2] For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
[3] By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Book of Philemon: Making mention of you always in my prayers



Philemon 1:4-7 (NKJV)

[4] I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
[5] hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
[6] that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
[7] For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

Book of Titus: Qualified Elders



Titus 1:5-9 (NKJV)

[5] For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you—
[6] if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.
[7] For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,
[8] but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled,
[9] holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

Book of II Timothy: Perilous times will come



II Timothy 3:1-5 (NKJV)

[1] But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
[2] For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3] unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
[4] traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
[5] having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Book of I Timothy: Came into the world with nothing, we'll leave with nothing


I Timothy 6:6-1 (NKJV)
[6] Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
[7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
[8] And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
[9] 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.
[10] 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.

Book of II Thessalonians: Pray for Us



II Thessalonians 3:1-5 (NKJV)

[1] Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
[2] and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
[3] But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
[4] And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
[5] Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

Book of I Thessalonians: Dead in Christ will rise first



I Thessalonians 4:14-17 (NKJV)

[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
[15] 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.
[16] 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.
[17] 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.

Book of Colossians: As the elect of God



Colossians 3:12-13 (NKJV)


[12] Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
[13] bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

Book of Philippians: Meditate on these things



Philippians 4:8-9 (NKJV)

[8] 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.
[9] The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Book of Ephesians: Children obey your parents



Ephesians 6:1-4 (NKJV)

[1] Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
[2] “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:
[3] “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
[4] And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Book of Galatians: Be Generous and Do Good



Galatians 6:6-10 (NKJV)

[6] Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
[7] Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
[8] For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
[9] And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
[10] Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Book of II Corinthians: A Cheerful Giver



2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NKJV)

[6] But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
[7 ]So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
[8] 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.

Book of I Corinthians: The Lord’s Supper



I Corinthians 11:23-26 (NKJV)

[23] For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;
[24] and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
[25] In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
[26] For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

Book of Romans: Divisive people need to be avoided



Romans 16:17-20 (NKJV)

[17] Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
[18] For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.
[19] For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.
[20] And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Book of Acts: Shipwrecked on the Island of Malta



Acts 27:39-44 (NKJV)

[39] When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.
[40] And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.
[41] But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
[42] And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
[43] But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,
[44] and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.

Book of John: Breakfast by the sea


John 21:7-12 (NKJV)


[7] Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
[8] But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.
[9] Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
[10] Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
[11] Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
[12] Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.
