14 The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

14 The Word became flesh and tented among us, and we looked upon his glory, glory as of an only son from a father, full of grace and truth.

3 who is the reflection of his glory and the expression of his nature and sustains all things by his word of power, and who, when he had made purification from sins, took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

3 By faith we understand that the worlds came into order at the word of God, so that what is now seen did not come out of things that are visible.

12 For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces until it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and it judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

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

22 Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

22 Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.23 For if one is a hearer of the message and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror.24 He looks at himself and is gone, and immediately forgets what sort of man he was.

21 So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.

24 "Every one, therefore, who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

4 But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "

4 But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "

28 He said, "Blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it!"

4 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone.' "

36 Astonishment fell upon all, and they talked to one another, saying, "What is this word? With authority and power he commands the impure 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.

31 Jesus said to the Jews that had believed him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,

31 Jesus said to the Jews that had believed him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples,32 and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free."

51 Truly, truly, I tell you, if any one keeps my word he will not look on death."

24 Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has life eternal and does not come into condemnation, but has passed over from death into life.

23 Jesus answered him, "If any one loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and abide with him.

3 You are already clean through the word that I have spoken to you.

17 Make them holy through the truth. Thy word is truth.

22 So when he arose from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

41 Many more believed on account of his own words,

38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within him."

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.10 For with the heart a man believes and becomes righteous, and with the mouth he confesses and attains salvation.

2 and, like new-born babes, long for the reasonable pure milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation,

1 IF there is any encouragement in Christ, any persuasive power in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any sympathies and compassions,2 fill up my joy by having the same love, being of the same mind, thinking the same thing,3 doing nothing in a partisan or vainglorious way, but each modestly regarding the others as of more account than himself.4 Do not be each intent on his own interests, but also on the interests of others.5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not think that equality with God was something to be grasped,7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant and coming into the likeness of men,8 and when found in the condition of a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death \'97 death on the cross.9 Therefore, God has highly exalted him and has graciously given him the name which is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow, of beings in heaven and those on earth and those under the earth,11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.12 So then, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with reverence and awe.13 For it is God who is working in you both the willing and the doing because of his kindness.14 Do everything without murmurings or disputings15 that you may be blameless and pure, children of God, spotless in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine as lights in the world,16 holding forth the message of life, so that on the day of Christ I can boast that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.17 But if I am poured out as a libation on your sacrificial offering of faith, I rejoice and share the joy of you all.18 In the same way you must rejoice and share my joy.19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I may be cheered by knowing about you.20 For I have no one likeminded with him who will so sincerely care for your interests.21 For all pursue their own aims, not those of Christ Jesus.22 But you know how he has been tested and how like a child with a father he has served with me in spreading the good news.23 So I hope to send him at once when I see how my affairs are going.24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself shall come quickly.25 I think it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my needs,26 since he longs for you all and is troubled because you have heard that he was sick.27 Indeed he was sick and near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.28 I send him the more readily that you may see him and rejoice again and I be less sorrowful.29 Receive him in the Lord with all joy and hold such men in honor,30 because for the work of Christ he was near to death, hazarding his life to complete the service you were not here to do for me.

18 But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and they defile the man.19 For from the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murders, adulteries, unchastities, thefts, perjuries, profane words.

36 I tell you, for every idle word that men speak they will give full account in the day of judgment,37 for from your words you will be justified and from your words you will be condemned."

34 Brood of vipers, how can you who are evil speak good things? For from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

2 For in many ways we all stumble. If any one never stumbles in his talk, he is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body.

3 If we put bits into the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we turn about their whole bodies.4 See the ships; great as they are and driven by violent winds, they are turned about by a very small rudder wherever the desire of the helmsman chooses.5 Just so the tongue is a small member, but boasts of great things. Think how small a fire may be and yet how vast the forest that it may set ablaze.6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna.7 For every kind of wild beasts and birds and reptiles and animals from the sea is tamed and has been tamed by human kind,8 but the tongue no man is able to tame. It is a restless evil; it is full of deadly poison.

17 So then faith comes from the report and report comes through the word of Christ.18 But I say, it cannot be true that they have not heard, can it? On the contrary, "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the world."
