Luke, Chapter 22

Then he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 22:20 And in the same way he took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

John 14

14:15 "If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 14:16 Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever – 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

<P _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">Romans

<P _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">9:14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not! 9:15 For he says to Moses:<U _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true"> "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion[/u]." 9:16 So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy. 9:17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh: "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may demonstrate my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth." 9:18 So then, God has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.

<P _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">9:19 You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?" 9:20 <U _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">But who indeed are you – a mere human being – to talk back to God?
[/u]
<P _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">Exodus

<P _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">33:19 And the Lord said, "I will make all my goodness pass before your face, and I will proclaim the Lord by name before you; <U _proxy_jslib_is_proxified="true">I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy."

Ecclesiates

10:4 If the anger of the ruler flares up against you, do not resign from your position,

for a calm response can undo great offenses.

Prayer of Manasseh

4 at whose power all things shudder and tremble,

5 for your glorious magnificence is unbearable,

and the wrath of your threat against sinners cannot be resisted.

6 Yet your promised mercy cannot be measured or scrutinized.

7 For you are the Lord Most High,

compassionate, longsuffering, and extremely merciful,

and relenting at human misfortunes.

Sirach 11:7

[7] Do not find fault before you investigate;
first consider, and then reprove.

Jude

1:10 But these men do not understand the things they slander, and they are being destroyed by the very things that, like irrational animals, they instinctively comprehend.

1:11 Woe to them! For they have traveled down Cain’s path, and because of greed have abandoned themselves to Balaam’s error; hence, they will certainly perish in Korah’s rebellion.

1:12 These men are dangerous reefs at your love feasts, feasting without reverence, feeding only themselves. They are waterless clouds, carried along by the winds; autumn trees without fruit – twice dead, uprooted;

1:13 wild sea waves, spewing out the foam of their shame; wayward stars for whom the utter depths of eternal darkness have been reserved.

1:14 Now Enoch, the seventh in descent beginning with Adam, even prophesied of them, saying, “Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones,

1:15 to execute judgment on all, and to convict every person of all their thoroughly ungodly deeds that they have committed, and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

1:16 These people are grumblers and fault-finders who go wherever their desires lead them, and they give bombastic speeches, enchanting folks for their own gain.

1 Corinthians 12

12:1 With regard to spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 12:2 You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led. 12:3 So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

12:4 Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 12:5 And there are different ministries, but the same Lord. 12:6 And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 12:7 To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all. 12:8 For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 12:10 to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 12:11 It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.
