The will of God

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

   

St John 6

     

150

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.

   

St Matthew 7

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

   

St Matthew 12

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

   

I Peter 2

     

153

14

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all [men].

154

15

See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men].

155

16

Rejoice evermore.

156

17

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

   

I Thessalonians 5

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.

159

2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

   

Romans 12

     

160

20

For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.

   

I Peter 2

     

161

15

For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

   

James 4

     

162

17

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

   

I John 2

     

163

39

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
