Chapter III - I will instruct and teach thee - Comforting Scriptures
 

Whatsoever ye do

     

1

10

Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

   

Psalms 46

     

2

5

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

   

St Matthew 17

     

3

8

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

   

Psalms 32

     

4

4

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5

5

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

6

6

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

7

7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

   

I Peter 5

     

8

10

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

   

James 4

     

9

11

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

10

12

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

11

13

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

12

14

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

   

Titus 2

     

13

12

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

14

13

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.

15

14

And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

16

15

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

   

Colossians 3

     

17

8

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

18

9

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

19

10

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

20

11

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

   

Thessalonians 5

     

21

5

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

22

6

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

23

7

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

24

8

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

   

II Peter 1

     

25

32

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

   

Ephesians 4

     

26

9

[Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

27

10

[Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

28

11

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

29

12

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

30

13

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

31

14

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

32

15

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

33

16

[Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

34

17

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

35

18

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

36

19

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

37

20

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

38

21

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

   

Romans 12

     

39

22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

40

23

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

   

Galatians 5

     

41

16

These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

42

17

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the LORD.

   

Zechariah 8

     

43

13

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

   

I Peter 2

     

44

8

He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

   

Micah 6

     

45

16

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

   

Hebrews 4

     
46

13

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

   

I Peter 1
