1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

3 Then God said, "*Let there be light"; and there was light.

3 *And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and *upholds all things by *the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

3 By faith we understand that the *world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible.

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,

And by the breath of His mouth all their *lights.

12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to *judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

29 "Is My word not like fire?" declares the Lord, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?

17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

105 Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

130 The unfolding of Your words gives light;

It gives understanding to the simple.

89 Forever, Lord,

Your word stands in heaven.

9 How can a young man keep his way pure?

By keeping it according to Your word.

11 I have treasured Your word in my heart,

So that I may not sin against You.

160 The sum of Your word is truth,

And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting.

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his *natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, *he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all filthiness and all*that remains of wickedness, in *humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

24 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and *acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

4 But He answered and said, "It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ "

4 But He answered and said, "It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ "

28 But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it."

4 And Jesus answered him, "It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’ "

36 And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another, saying, "What is *this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!"

35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

8 The grass withers, the flower fades,

But the word of our God stands forever.

4 For the word of the Lord is right,

And all His work is done in faithfulness.

4 For the word of the Lord is right,

And all His work is done in faithfulness.

5 Every word of God is *pure;

He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

6 For the Lord gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples;

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples;32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

51 Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone follows My word, he will never see death."

24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will follow My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.

3 You are already *clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

22 So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

41 Many more believed because of His word;

38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘*From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ "

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may *be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will *achieve success.

16 Your words were found and I ate them,

And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart;

For I have been called by Your name,

Lord God of armies.

9 *that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, *resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, *resulting in salvation.

4 In God, whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust;

I shall not be afraid.

What can mere*mortals do to me?

30 As for God, His way is *blameless;

The word of the Lord is refined;

He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,

And Your right hand upholds me;

And Your *gentleness makes me great.

36 You enlarge my steps under me,

And my *feet have not slipped.

12 Who is the person who desires life

And loves length of days, that he may see good?

13 Keep your tongue from evil

And your lips from speaking deceit.

3 And He humbled you and let you go hungry, and fed you with the manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, in order to make you *understand that man shall not live on bread alone, but man shall live on everything that comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

2 and like newborn babies, long for the *pure *milk of the word, so that by it you may grow *in respect to salvation,

1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any *affection and compassion, 2 make my joy complete *by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing *from *selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude *in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be *grasped, 7 but *emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and*being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death *on a cross. 9 For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to *desire and to work for His good pleasure.

14 Do all things without complaining or arguments; 15 so that you will *prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you *appear as *lights in the world, 16 holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

19 But I hope, *in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition. 20 For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know of his proven character, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father. 23 Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me; 24 and I trust in the Lord that I myself will also be coming shortly. 25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your *messenger and minister to my need, 26 because he was longing *for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly, so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.29 Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold people like him in high regard, 30 because he came close to death *for the work of Christ, risking his life to compensate *for your absence in your service to me.

18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,

But the tongue of the wise brings healing.

25 Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,

But a good word makes it glad.

11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,

But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,

But a *harsh word stirs up anger.

20 With the *fruit of a person’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied;

He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.

21 Death and life are in the *power of the tongue,

And those who love it will eat its fruit.

18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person.19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and*slanderous statements.

36 But I tell you that for every *careless word that people *speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment.37 For *by your words you will be justified, and *by your words you will be condemned."

34 You *offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things? For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart.

2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in *what he says, he is a perfect man, able to *rein in the whole body as well.

3 Now if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their whole body as well. 4 Look at the ships too: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are nevertheless directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot determines. 5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, the very world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set among *our body’s parts as that which defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of our*life, and is set on fire by *hell. 7 For every *species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human *race. 8 But no one among mankind can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word *of Christ.

18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? On the contrary:

"Their voice has gone out into all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the*world."
