Proverbs 14:12

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its ends is the way to death.

Mark 10:35-44

Then Jacob and John, the sons of Zebedee, come up to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of You.” And He said to them, “What do you want Me do to for you?” They said to Him, “Let us sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” But Yeshua said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink, or endure the immersion I must endure? They said to Him, “We are able.” And Yeshua said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will endure the immersion I must endure. But to sit on My right or left is not MINE to grant – it is for those whom it has been prepared.”

Luke 9:54

When his disciples Jacob and John saw this, they said, “Master, do you want us to command fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?

John 3:19

“Now this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and men loved the darkness instead of the light, because their deeds were evil.

John 19:25-27

Standing near the execution stake of Yeshua were His mother, His mother’s sister, Miriam the wife of Clopas, and Miriam from Magdala. Yeshua saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby. He tells His mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then He tells the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” From that very hour, the disciple took her into his own home.

John 21:7-25

Therefore the Disciple whom Yeshua loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!”

Romans 3:10-18

As it is written, “There is no one righteous – no, not one. There is no one who understands, no one who seeks after ELOHIM. All have turned aside; together they  have become worthless. There is no one who does good – no, not even one! Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues, they keep deceiving. The poison of vipers is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Ruin and misery are in their paths. and the way of the shalom they have not known.

Romans 7:19

For the good that I want, I do not do; but the evil that I do not want, this I practice.

Romans 8:1-4

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Yeshua. For the law of ha Ruach of life in Messiah Yeshua has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what was impossible for the Torah – since it was weakened on account of the flesh – Elohim had done, sending His own Ben in the likeness of sinful flesh – so that the requirement of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Ruach.
