Matthew 3 (NIV
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan
to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be
baptized by you, and do you come to me?"
15 Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is
proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that
moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting
on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am
well pleased."
25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.

14 After John was put in prison,
Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.15
"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of
God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"

14 Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as
they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to
believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15 He said to
them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all
creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe
will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they
will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with
their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will
place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to
them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Luke 22 (NIV)
1 Now the Feast of
Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, 2 and
the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of
Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

Acts 15 (NIV)
5 Then some of the believers who belonged
to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised
and required to obey the law of Moses."
Acts 18 (NIV)
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united
attack on Paul and brought him into court. 13 "This
man," they charged, "is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to
the law."
14 Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio
said to the Jews, "If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or
serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. 15
But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law--settle the matter
yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things." 16 So
he had them ejected from the court. 17 Then they all turned
on Sosthenes the synagogue ruler and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio showed no
concern whatever.
Acts 20 (NIV)
11 Then he went upstairs again and
broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left.
Acts 26 (NIV)
5 They have known me for a long time
and can testify, if they are willing, that according to the strictest sect of our
religion, I lived as a Pharisee.
I Corinthians 14 (NIV)
23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks
in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say
that you are out of your mind?
33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
As in all the congregations of the saints, 34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed
to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their
own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
II Corinthians 11 (NIV)
8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so
as to serve you.
Ephesians 2 (NIV)
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth
and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the
circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)-- 12
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in
Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the
world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away
have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 5 (NIV)
23 For the husband is the head of the
wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Philippians 3 (NIV)
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the
Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard
for you.
2 Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators
of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who
worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the
flesh-- 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.
If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I
have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of
Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic
righteousness, faultless.
Titus 1 (NIV)
10 For there
are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the
circumcision group. 11 They must be silenced, because they
are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the
sake of dishonest gain. 12 Even one of their own prophets has
said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." 13 This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that
they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention
to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth.
I Timothy 3 (NIV)
5 (If anyone does not know how to
manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)
Hebrews 8 (NIV)
6 But the ministry Jesus has received is
as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one,
and it is founded on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with
that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8
But God found fault with the people and said:
"The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. 10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 11 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.12 For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
13 By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
Jude (NIV)
8 In the very same
way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial
beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael,
when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a
slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" 10 Yet these men speak abusively against
whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like
unreasoning animals--these are the very things that destroy them.
Revelation 2 (NIV)
1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the
words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden
lampstands: 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your
perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who
claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.
8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again.
12 "To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword.
18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
Revelation 3 (NIV)
1 "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the
words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds;
you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.
