Reading God's Word

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

…so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.

Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law.

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

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
