VERILY,   VERILY,   I SAY UNTO YOU

THE WORDS OF CHRIST

7:24 There­fore who­so­ev­er hear­eth these say­ings of mine, and do­eth them, I will lik­en him un­to a wise man, which built his house up­on a rock:

13:31 Heav­en and earth shall pass a­way: but my words shall not pass a­way.

9:26 For who­so­ev­er shall be a­shamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be a­shamed, when he shall come in his own glo­ry, and in his Fa­ther's, and of the ho­ly an­gels.

8:51 If a man keep my say­ing, he shall nev­er see death.

THE SON OF MAN

16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glo­ry of his Fa­ther with his an­gels; and then he shall re­ward eve­ry man ac­cord­ing to his works.

2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath pow­er on earth to for­give sins,

21:36 Watch ye there­fore, and pray al­ways, that ye may be ac­count­ed wor­thy to es­cape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand be­fore the Son of man.

6:27 La­bour not for the meat which per­ish­eth, but for that meat which en­dur­eth un­to ev­er­last­ing life, which the Son of man shall give un­to you: for him hath God the Fa­ther sealed.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD

6:33 But seek ye first the king­dom of God, and his right­eous­ness; and all these things shall be add­ed un­to you.

10:23 How hard­ly shall they that have rich­es en­ter in­to the king­dom of God!

9:62 No man, hav­ing put his hand to the plough, and look­ing back, is fit for the king­dom of God.

3:5 Ex­cept a man be born of wa­ter and of the Spir­it, he can­not en­ter in­to the king­dom of God.

THE FATHER IN HEAVEN

5:48 Be ye there­fore per­fect, e­ven as your Fa­ther which is in heav­en is per­fect.

11:26 But if ye do not for­give, nei­ther will your Fa­ther which is in heav­en for­give your tres­pass­es.

6:36 Be ye there­fore mer­ci­ful, as your Fa­ther al­so is mer­ci­ful.

6:44 No man can come to me, ex­cept the Fa­ther which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

THE CROSS

10:38 And he that tak­eth not his cross, and fol­low­eth af­ter me, is not wor­thy of me.

10:21 One thing … sell what­so­ev­er thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treas­ure in heav­en: and come, take up the cross, and fol­low me.

9:23 If any man will come af­ter me, let him de­ny him­self, and take up his cross dai­ly, and fol­low me.

8:12 I am the light of the world: he that fol­low­eth me shall not walk in dark­ness, but shall have the light of life.

MINISTRY

12:50 For who­so­ev­er shall do the will of my Fa­ther which is in heav­en, the same is my broth­er, and sis­ter, and moth­er.

10:45 For e­ven the Son of man came not to be min­is­tered un­to, but to min­is­ter, and to give his life a ran­som for many.

16:13 No ser­vant can serve two mas­ters: for ei­ther he will hate the one, and love the oth­er; or else he will hold to the one, and de­spise the oth­er. Ye can­not serve God and mam­mon.

12:26 If any man serve me, let him fol­low me; and where I am, there shall al­so my ser­vant be: if any man serve me, him will my Fa­ther hon­our.

LOVE

24:12-13 And be­cause in­iq­ui­ty shall a­bound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall en­dure un­to the end, the same shall be saved.

12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and all thy mind, and with all thy strength: … Thou shalt love thy neigh­bour as thy­self. There is none oth­er com­mand­ment great­er than these.

6:27-28 Love your en­e­mies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which de­spite­ful­ly use you.

14:23-24 If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Fa­ther will love him, and we will come un­to him, and make our a­bode with him. He that lov­eth me not keep­eth not my say­ings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Fa­ther's which sent me.

SALVATION

THE GOSPEL

THE DISCIPLE

ETERNAL LIFE

7:13-14 En­ter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that lead­eth to de­struc­tion, and many there be which go in there­at: Be­cause strait is the gate, and nar­row is the way, which lead­eth un­to life, and few there be that find it.

7:21 Not eve­ry one that saith un­to me, Lord, Lord, shall en­ter in­to the king­dom of heav­en; but he that do­eth the will of my Fa­ther which is in heav­en.

19:24 It is eas­i­er for a cam­el to go through the eye of a nee­dle, than for a rich man to en­ter in­to the king­dom of God.

1:15 The time is ful­filled, and the king­dom of God is at hand: re­pent ye, and be­lieve the gos­pel.

8:35 For who­so­ev­er will save his life shall lose it; but who­so­ev­er shall lose his life for my sake and the gos­pel's, the same shall save it.

10:29-30 There is no man that hath left house, or breth­ren, or sis­ters, or fa­ther, or moth­er, or wife, or chil­dren, or lands, for my sake, and the gos­pel's, But he shall re­ceive an hun­dred­fold now in this time, hous­es, and breth­ren, and sis­ters, and moth­ers, and chil­dren, and lands, with per­se­cu­tions; and in the world to come e­ter­nal life.

6:40 The dis­ci­ple is not a­bove his mas­ter: but eve­ry one that is per­fect shall be as his mas­ter.

14:26-27 If any man come to me, and hate not his fa­ther, and moth­er, and wife, and chil­dren, and breth­ren, and sis­ters, yea, and his own life al­so, he can­not be my dis­ci­ple. And who­so­ev­er doth not bear his cross, and come af­ter me, can­not be my dis­ci­ple.

14:33 So like­wise, who­so­ev­er he be of you that for­sak­eth not all that he hath, he can­not be my dis­ci­ple.

6:47 He that be­liev­eth on me hath ev­er­last­ing life.

6:53-54 Ex­cept ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Who­so eat­eth my flesh, and drink­eth my blood, hath e­ter­nal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

12:25 He that lov­eth his life shall lose it; and he that hat­eth his life in this world shall keep it un­to life e­ter­nal.

17:3 And this is life e­ter­nal, that they might know thee the on­ly true God, and Je­sus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

VERILY,   VERILY,   I SAY UNTO YOU

THE WORD OF GOD

4:4 It is writ­ten, Man shall not live by bread a­lone, but by eve­ry word that pro­ceed­eth out of the mouth of God.

4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

11:28 Yea rath­er, bless­ed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

8:47 He that is of God hear­eth God's words: ye there­fore hear them not, be­cause ye are not of God.

THE SON OF MAN

13:41-42 The Son of man shall send forth his an­gels, and they shall gath­er out of his king­dom all things that of­fend, and them which do in­iq­ui­ty; And shall cast them in­to a fur­nace of fire: there shall be wail­ing and gnash­ing of teeth.

13:26-27 And then shall they see the Son of man com­ing in the clouds with great pow­er and glo­ry. And then shall he send his an­gels, and shall gath­er to­geth­er his e­lect from the four winds, from the ut­ter­most part of the earth to the ut­ter­most part of heav­en.

12:8-9 Who­so­ev­er shall con­fess me be­fore men, him shall the Son of man al­so con­fess be­fore the an­gels of God: But he that de­ni­eth me be­fore men shall be de­nied be­fore the an­gels of God.

5:25-26 The hour is com­ing, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Fa­ther hath life in him­self; so hath he giv­en to the Son to have life in him­self;

THE KINGDOM OF THE FATHER

13:43 Then shall the right­eous shine forth as the sun in the king­dom of their Fa­ther. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10:15 Who­so­ev­er shall not re­ceive the king­dom of God as a lit­tle child, he shall not en­ter there­in.

12:32 Fear not, lit­tle flock; for it is your Fa­ther's good pleas­ure to give you the king­dom.

14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man com­eth un­to the Fa­ther, but by me.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

12:32 And who­so­ev­er speak­eth a word a­gainst the Son of man, it shall be for­giv­en him: but who­so­ev­er speak­eth a­gainst the Ho­ly Ghost, it shall not be for­giv­en him, nei­ther in this world, nei­ther in the world to come.

13:11 But when they shall lead you, and de­liv­er you up, take no thought be­fore­hand what ye shall speak, nei­ther do ye pre­med­i­tate: but what­so­ev­er shall be giv­en you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Ho­ly Ghost.

11:13 If ye then, be­ing e­vil, know how to give good gifts un­to your chil­dren: how much more shall your heav­en­ly Fa­ther give the Ho­ly Spir­it to them that ask him?

15:26 But when the Com­fort­er is come, whom I will send un­to you from the Fa­ther, e­ven the Spir­it of truth, which pro­ceed­eth from the Fa­ther, he shall tes­ti­fy of me:

PERSECUTION

5:10 Bless­ed are they which are per­se­cut­ed for right­eous­ness' sake: for theirs is the king­dom of heav­en.

4:17 And have no root in them­selves, and so en­dure but for a time: af­ter­ward, when af­flic­tion or per­se­cu­tion a­ris­eth for the word's sake, im­me­di­ate­ly they are of­fend­ed.

6:22 Bless­ed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall sep­a­rate you from their com­pa­ny, and shall re­proach you, and cast out your name as e­vil, for the Son of man's sake.

15:20 The ser­vant is not great­er than his lord. If they have per­se­cut­ed me, they will al­so per­se­cute you; if they have kept my say­ing, they will keep yours al­so.

SALVATION

10:22 And ye shall be hat­ed of all men for my name's sake: but he that en­dur­eth to the end shall be saved.

8:36 For what shall it prof­it a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

13:24 Strive to en­ter in at the strait gate: for many, I say un­to you, will seek to en­ter in, and shall not be a­ble.

10:9 I am the door: by me if any man en­ter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pas­ture.

HELL

10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not a­ble to kill the soul: but rath­er fear him which is a­ble to de­stroy both soul and body in hell.

9:47 And if thine eye of­fend thee, pluck it out: it is bet­ter for thee to en­ter in­to the king­dom of God with one eye, than hav­ing two eyes to be cast in­to hell fire:

12:5 But I will fore­warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which af­ter he hath killed hath pow­er to cast in­to hell; yea, I say un­to you, Fear him.

15:6 If a man a­bide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is with­ered; and men gath­er them, and cast them in­to the fire, and they are burned.

LITTLE CHILDREN

THE COMMISSION

THE PARABLE

TRUTH

18:3-5 Ex­cept ye be con­vert­ed, and be­come as lit­tle chil­dren, ye shall not en­ter in­to the king­dom of heav­en. Who­so­ev­er there­fore shall hum­ble him­self as this lit­tle child, the same is great­est in the king­dom of heav­en. And who­so shall re­ceive one such lit­tle child in my name re­ceiv­eth me.

19:14 Suf­fer lit­tle chil­dren, and for­bid them not, to come un­to me: for of such is the king­dom of heav­en.

16:15-18 Go ye in­to all the world, and preach the gos­pel to eve­ry crea­ture. He that be­liev­eth and is bap­tized shall be saved; but he that be­liev­eth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall fol­low them that be­lieve; In my name shall they cast out dev­ils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up ser­pents; and if they drink any dead­ly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall re­cov­er.

8:12-15 Those by the way side are they that hear; then com­eth the dev­il, and tak­eth a­way the word out of their hearts, lest they should be­lieve and be saved.
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, re­ceive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while be­lieve, and in time of temp­ta­tion fall a­way.
And that which fell a­mong thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and rich­es and pleas­ures of this life, and bring no fruit to per­fec­tion.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an hon­est and good heart, hav­ing heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with pa­tience.

4:23 But the hour com­eth, and now is, when the true wor­ship­pers shall wor­ship the Fa­ther in spir­it and in truth: for the Fa­ther seek­eth such to wor­ship him.

8:31-32 If ye con­tin­ue in my word, then are ye my dis­ci­ples in­deed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

17:17 Sanc­ti­fy them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

18:37 … To this end was I born, and for this cause came I in­to the world, that I should bear wit­ness un­to the truth. Eve­ry one that is of the truth hear­eth my voice.
