Romans 8:28

Romans 8:28 (MSG)
That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Do not judge

Luke 6:37 (NIVUK)
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Give away

Luke 6:38 (NIVUK)

Galatians 2:6

Galatians 2:6 (MSG)
As for those who were considered important in the church, their reputation doesn't concern me. God isn't impressed with mere appearances, and neither am I. And of course these leaders were able to add nothing to the message I had been preaching. It was soon evident that God had entrusted me with the same message to the non-Jews as Peter had been preaching to the Jews. Recognizing that my calling had been given by God, James, Peter, and John—the pillars of the church—shook hands with me and Barnabas, assigning us to a ministry to the non-Jews, while they continued to be responsible for reaching out to the Jews. The only additional thing they asked was that we remember the poor, and I was already eager to do that.

Hebrews 5:7

Hebrews 5:7 (MSG)
While he lived on earth, anticipating death, Jesus cried out in pain and wept in sorrow as he offered up priestly prayers to God. Because he honored God, God answered him. Though he was God's Son, he learned trusting-obedience by what he suffered, just as we do. Then, having arrived at the full stature of his maturity and having been announced by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who believingly obey him.

Then he focused his attention on Thomas. "Take your finger and examine my hands. Take your hand and stick it in my side. Don't be unbelieving. Believe."

Hebrews 2:1

Hebrews 2:1 (MSG)
It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off. If the old message delivered by the angels was valid and nobody got away with anything, do you think we can risk neglecting this latest message, this magnificent salvation? First of all, it was delivered in person by the Master, then accurately passed on to us by those who heard it from him. All the while God was validating it with gifts through the Holy Spirit, all sorts of signs and miracles, as he saw fit.

Luke 22:27

Luke 22:27 (MSG)
"Who would you rather be: the one who eats the dinner or the one who serves the dinner? You'd rather eat and be served, right? But I've taken my place among you as the one who serves. And you've stuck with me through thick and thin. Now I confer on you the royal authority my Father conferred on me so you can eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and be strengthened as you take up responsibilities among the congregations of God's people.

Ecclesiastes 12:6

Ecclesiastes 12:6 (MSG)
Life, lovely while it lasts, is soon over. Life as we know it, precious and beautiful, ends. The body is put back in the same ground it came from. The spirit returns to God, who first breathed it.

Matthew 15:7 (MSG)
Frauds! Isaiah's prophecy of you hit the bull's-eye:

the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way-Jesus!-a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place.

Then the other disciple, the one who had gotten there first, went into the tomb, took one look at the evidence, and believed.

Matthew 15:9

They act like they're worshiping me, but they don't mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy."

John 13:16

John 13:16 (NLT)
I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.

John 13:17
