Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 30+ TLB
Matthew 5:3-12 " Humble men are very fortunate!" he told them, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.
Those who mourn are fortunate! for they shall be comforted.
The meek and lowly are fortunate! for the whole wide world belongs to them.
Happy are those who long to be just and good, for the shall be completely satisfied.
Happy are the kind and merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
Happy are those whose hearts are pure, for they shall see God.
Happy are those who strive for peace--they shall be called the sons of God.
Happy are those are persecuted because they are good, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
When you are reviled and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers--wonderful!
Be happy about it! Be very glad! for a tremendous reward awaits you up in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted too.
Matthew 10:34-36 " Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to earth! No, rather, a sword.
I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother -in-law--
a man's worst enemies will be right in his own home!
Matthew 19:28-30 And Jesus replied, "When I, the Messiah, shall sit upon my glorious throne in the Kingdom, you my disciples shall certainly sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And anyone who gives up his home, brothers, sisters, fathers, mother, wife, children or property, to follow me, shall receive a hundred times as much in return, and shall have eternal life.
But many who are first now will be last then; and some who are last now will be first then."
Luke 14:26-27 "Anyone who wants to be my follower must love me far more than he does his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters,--yes, more than his own life--otherwise he cannot be my disciple.
And no one can be my disciple who does not carry his own cross and follow me.
Romans 12:14-21 If someone mistreats you because you are a Christian, don't curse him; pray that God will bless him.
When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad. share their sorrow.
Work happily together. Don't try to act big. Don't try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don't think you know it all!
Never pay back evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through.
Don't quarrel with anyone. Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible.
Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God, for he has said the he will repay those who deserve it. Don't take the law into your own hands."
Instead, feed your enemy if he is hungry. if he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be "heaping coals of fire on his head." In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself for what he has done to you.
Don't let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.
1 Corinthians 7:5 So do not refuse these rights to each other. The only exception to this rule would be the agreement of both husband and wife to refrain from the rights of marriage for a limited time, so that they can give themselves more completely to prayer. Afterwards, they should come together again so that Satan won't be able to tempt them because of their lack of self-control.
1 Corinthians 14:26-32 Well, my brothers, let's add up what I am saying, When you meet together some will sing, another will teach, 0r tell some special information God has given him, or speak in an unknown language, or tell what someone else is saying who is speaking in unknown language, but everything that is done must be useful to all, and build them up in the Lord.
No more than two or three should speak in an unknown language, and they must speak one at a time, and someone must be ready to interpret what they are saying,
But if no one is present who can interpret, they must not speak out loud. They must talk silently to themselves and to God in the unknown language but not publicly.
Two or three may prophesy, one at a time, if they have the gift, while all others listen. But if, while someone is prophesying, someone else receives a message or idea from the Lord, the one who is speaking should stop.
In this way all who have the gift of prophecy can speak, one after the another, and everyone will learn and be encouraged and helped.
Remember that a person who has a message from God has the power to stop himself or wait his turn.
