But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us).

He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.

They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.  He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.

Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND HIM ONLY YOU SHALL SERVE.’ “

Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘YOU SHALL NOT TEMPT THE LORD YOUR GOD.’ “

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.’ “

saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

ALL Scripture is God Breathed (Inspired by GOD)

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned

since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—

And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

You are the LORD, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.

And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

Because of our faith, we know that the world was made at God’s command. We also know that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.

You have always been God— long before the birth of the mountains, even before you created the earth and the world.

The Scriptures also say, “In the beginning, Lord, you were the one who laid the foundation of the earth and created the heavens.”
