Trusting Man

Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

`Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all <FI>men<Fi> , — read the full passage →

Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,'

and all, whatever ye may do--out of soul work--as to the Lord, and not to men,

and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?

so that we do boldly say, `The Lord <FI>is<Fi> to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'

And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,

and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,

for through faith we walk, not through sight--

and we--we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

`If ye love me, my commands keep,

For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance <FI>is<Fi> Mine,

A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify <FI>it<Fi> , having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard--to that day.

all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

and if any one for his own--and especially for those of the household--doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
