Genesis 1:26-28

Then GOD said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness! Let them rule over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the sky, over the livestock, over the whole earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the land.” GOD created humankind in HIS image, in the image of GOD HE created them. HE created him, male and female HE created them. GOD blessed them and GOD said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the land, and conquer it. Rule over the fish of the sea, the flying creatures of the sky, and over every animal that crawls on the land.”

Jeremiah 33:1-16

Then the word of ADONAI came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined in the guard’s courtyard, saying:  Thus says Adonai the Adonai who formed it to make it firm—Adonai is HIS NAME. “Call to ME, and I will answer you—I will tell you great and hidden things, which you do not know.” For thus says ADONAI, the ELOHIM of Israel: “Concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are torn down against the siege ramps and against the sword, they are coming to fight with the Chaldeans, but they are about to fill them with the dead bodies of the people whom I will slay in MY anger and in MY fury. I have hidden MY face from this city because of all their wickedness. “Indeed, I will bring it health and healing, and I will surely heal them. I will reveal to them an abundance of shalom and truth. I will restore Judah from exile and Israel from exile, and will rebuild them, as in former times. I will also cleanse them from all their iniquity in which they have sinned against ME, and I will pardon all their wrongs in which they have sinned against ME and in which they have rebelled against ME. “Then this city will be to ME for a name of joy, praise and glory before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do for them, so they will fear and tremble because of all the good and for all the shalom that I do for it.” Thus says Adonai: “Yet again in this place—which you are saying is a waste without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the desolate, without man, without inhabitant and without beast—there will be heard the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them who say:‘Give thanks to Adonai-Tzva’ot, for Adonai is good, for HIS love endures forever!’ as they bring offerings of thanksgiving into the House of Adonai. For I will restore the land from the exile as it was at first,” declares Adonai. Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Yet again will there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, a pasture of shepherds making their flocks lie down. In the towns of the hill country, in the towns of the foothills, in the towns of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, will the flocks again pass under the hands of one who counts them,” declares Adonai. “Behold, days are coming”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“when I will fulfill the good word I spoke concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of Righteousness to spring up for David, and HE will execute justice and righteousness in the land. In those days will Judah be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the NAME by which HE will be called: ADONAI our Righteousness Savior.”

Matthew 23:24

“You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.” This statement is as humorous as it is impossible to imagine; someone trying to strain out a tiny gnat while swallowing a large camel.

Luke 2:41-52

Now HIS parents were going every year to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. When HE became twelve years old, they were going up according to festival custom. As they headed home after completing the days, the boy YESHUA remained in Jerusalem, but HIS parents didn’t know. Supposing HE was in the caravan, they went a day’s journey, then began looking for HIM among relatives and friends. When they did not find HIM, they returned to Jerusalem to search for HIM. After three days they found HIM in the Temple, sitting in the center of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all those hearing HIM were astonished at HIS understanding and HIS answers. When HIS parents saw YESHUA, they were overwhelmed. And HIS mother said to HIM, “Child, why did you do this to us? Look! Your father and I were searching for YOU frantically!” HE said to them, “Why were you searching for ME? Didn’t you know that I must be about the things of MY FATHER?” But they did not grasp the message HE was telling them. Then HE went down with them to Natzeret and was obedient to them. But HIS mother treasured all these words in her heart. And YESHUA kept increasing in wisdom and stature (honor-reputation), and in favor with GOD and men.

John 1:1-14

In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. HE was with GOD in the beginning. All things were made through HIM, and apart from HIM nothing was made that has come into being. In HIM was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it. There came a man sent from GOD, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through HIM everyone might believe. He was not the light, but he came to bear witness concerning the light. The true light, coming into the world, gives light to every man. HE was in the world, and the world was made through HIM; but the world did not know HIM. HE came to HIS own, but HIS own did not receive HIM. But whoever did receive HIM, those trusting in HIS NAME, to these HE gave the right to become children of GOD. They were born not of a bloodline, nor of human desire, nor of man’s will, but of GOD. And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon HIS glory, the glory of the one and only from the FATHER, full of grace and truth.

John 3:16

For YAHWEH so loved the world that HE gave HIS one and only SON, that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it. There came a man sent from GOD, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that through HIM everyone might believe. He was not the light, but he came to bear witness concerning the light. 

John 15:14-16

You are MY friends if you do what I command you. “I am no longer calling you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. Now I have called you friends, because everything I have heard from MY FATHER I have made known to you. You did not choose ME, but I chose you. I selected you so that you would go and produce fruit, and your fruit would remain. Then the FATHER will give you whatever you ask in MY NAME.

John 17:20-23

I pray not on behalf of these only, but also for those who believe in ME through their message, that they all may be one. Just as YOU, Father, are in Me and I am in YOU, so also may they be ONE in US, so the world may believe that YOU sent ME. The glory that YOU have given to ME I have given to them, that they may be one just as WE are one— I in them and YOU in ME—that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that YOU sent ME and loved them as YOU loved ME.

Romans 8:17-21

And if children, also heirs—heirs of GOD and joint-heirs with CHRIST—if indeed we suffer with HIM so that we may also be glorified with HIM. For I consider the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed to us. For the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the children of GOD. For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly but because of the One who subjected it—in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of the children of GOD.

1 Corinthians 5:11-13

But now I am writing to you not to mix together with anyone who is being called a brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy or an idolater or a slanderer or a drunkard or a swindler—not even to eat with such a fellow. For what business do I have judging outsiders? Don’t you judge those who are inside? But those who are outside, GOD judges. Put away the wicked fellow from among yourselves.

1 Corinthians 12:56

There are different kinds of service, but the same LORD. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same GOD at work.

2 Corinthians 5:18

All this is from GOD, who through CHRIST reconciled us to HIMSELF and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.

Galatians 6:9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Ephesians 2:10

For we are GOD’s handiwork, created in CHRIST JESUS to do good works, which GOD prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 3:16-19

I pray that from HIS glorious riches HE would grant you to be strengthened in your inner being with power through HIS RUACH, so that CHRIST may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to grasp with all the kedoshim what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of CHRIST which surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled up with all the fullness of YAHWEH.

Colossians 2:9

For in CHRIST all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.

1 John 2:19

They left us, but they didn’t really belong to us. If they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us so it became clear that none of them belongs to us.
