Jesus King of Kings
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you
judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you.
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and
pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to
your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the
time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the
plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to
remove the speck from your brother's eye.
______________________________________________________________________
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else,
for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself,
because you who pass judgment do the same things.
______________________________________________________________________
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord
comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will
expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his
praise from God.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first,
he must be the very last, and the servant of all.
______________________________________________________________________
Do not steal. 'Do not lie. 'Do not deceive one another.
Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God.
I am the LORD.
Do not defraud your neighbor or rob him.
Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight.
______________________________________________________________________
the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
______________________________________________________________________
Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life.
______________________________________________________________________
The poor will see and be glad, you who seek God, may your hearts live!
The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
______________________________________________________________________
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD
require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with your God.
______________________________________________________________________
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his
good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts,
do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not
come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find
disorder and every evil practice.
______________________________________________________________________
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he
will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your
hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your
laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before
the Lord, and he will lift you up.
______________________________________________________________________
The LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his
unfailing love.
______________________________________________________________________
Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should
restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the
law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing,
he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions.
Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to
somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.
______________________________________________________________________
if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!
______________________________________________________________________
I am in pain and distress;
may your salvation, O God, protect me.
I will praise God's name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
The poor will see and be glad—
you who seek God, may your hearts live!
The LORD hears the needy
and does not despise his captive people.
______________________________________________________________________
Praise be to the LORD,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song.
______________________________________________________________________
We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.
______________________________________________________________________
In that day you will say:
"I will praise you, O LORD.
Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away
and you have comforted me.
Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation."
With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.
In that day you will say:
"Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
______________________________________________________________________
By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
______________________________________________________________________
Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
______________________________________________________________________
I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a
spacious place.
______________________________________________________________________
God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.
______________________________________________________________________
We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our
hope in you.
______________________________________________________________________
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is
in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots
by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
______________________________________________________________________
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
______________________________________________________________________
God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with
singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
______________________________________________________________________
If one falls down,
his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has
no one to help him up!
______________________________________________________________________
I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as
long as I live.
______________________________________________________________________
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the
LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything
in them.The LORD, who remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind,
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the
righteous.
The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the
widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
______________________________________________________________________
All of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic,
love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
______________________________________________________________________
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son,
purifies us from all sin.
______________________________________________________________________
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of
men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.
Praise be to the LORD,
for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.
In my alarm I said,
"I am cut off from your sight!" Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I
called to you for help.
______________________________________________________________________
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life,
to mind your own business and to work with your hands.
______________________________________________________________________
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on
your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
It is written: As surely as I live,' says the Lord, every knee will
bow before me; every tongue will confess to God. So then,
each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another.
Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or
obstacle in your brother's way.
______________________________________________________________________
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged.
The Judge is standing at the door!
______________________________________________________________________
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the
man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of
God except the Spirit of God.
______________________________________________________________________
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only
Son into the world that we might live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and
sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for[b] our sins.
______________________________________________________________________
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or
hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."No, in all these things
we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
______________________________________________________________________
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God,
and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that
we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world
we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out
fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is
not made perfect in love.
______________________________________________________________________
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by
faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God,"
yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his
brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his
brother.
______________________________________________________________________
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may
have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together
in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one
body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
______________________________________________________________________
And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to
fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to
serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
______________________________________________________________________
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and
self controlled so that you can pray. Above all,
love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.
______________________________________________________________________
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
______________________________________________________________________
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands,
you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's
commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my
joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is
this: Love each other as I have loved you.Greater love has no one
than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my
friends if you do what I command.
______________________________________________________________________
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever
grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord
forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds
them all together in perfect unity.
______________________________________________________________________
Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
and call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
______________________________________________________________________
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like
a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing
firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the
world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in
Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore
you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for
ever and ever. Amen.
______________________________________________________________________
For God gives to a man that is good in His sight, wisdom, and
knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner He gives travail,
to gather and to heap up, that He may give to him that is
good before God.
______________________________________________________________________
I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of
them that turn aside.
______________________________________________________________________
Happy is he that condemns not himself in that thing which he allows.
______________________________________________________________________
James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of
his own lust, and enticed.
______________________________________________________________________
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does
the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God?
______________________________________________________________________
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that
loves another has fulfilled the law.
______________________________________________________________________
I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith,
so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we
have in Christ.
______________________________________________________________________
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.
______________________________________________________________________
The Lord will always have compassion on us.
______________________________________________________________________
Those who walk with the Lord will have compassion.
______________________________________________________________________
Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I
forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”
“No!” Jesus replied, “seventy times seven!”
______________________________________________________________________
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.
______________________________________________________________________
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
______________________________________________________________________
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.
______________________________________________________________________
if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will never
walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies,
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: I am the bread of life.
He who comes to me will never go hungry,
and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: If anyone is thirsty,
let him come to me and drink.
Whoever believes in me,
as the Scripture has said,
streams of living water will flow from within him.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: Whoever finds his life will lose it,
and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus: My command is this:
Love each other as I have loved you.
______________________________________________________________________
I died with Jesus And with Him was buried;
Yet raised from the dead, with a new life to live.
______________________________________________________________________
Jesus is where I need Him, and I am where His love is. Why should
I ever worry if He is always beside me?
______________________________________________________________________
Smile! It will make you look better. Pray, it will keep you strong.
Love, it will make you enjoy life.
______________________________________________________________________
Only a fish knows the splendor of the sea.
Only a Christian knows the glory of God.
