Matt 11.27-30
Read in contextThe Lord said to his disciples:
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].
28Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
2 Cor 9.12-10.7
Read in contextBrethren,
9:12For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
9:13Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men];
9:14And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
9:15Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.
10:1Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
10:2But I beseech [you], that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
10:3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
10:4(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
10:5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
10:6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
10:7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he [is] Christ's, even so [are] we Christ's.
Gal 5.22-6.2
Read in contextBrethren,
5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5:23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
5:24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
5:25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
5:26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
6:1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
6:2Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Mark 3.19-27
Read in contextAt that time, Jesus
19And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
20And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
22And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
23And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Luke 6.17-23
Read in contextAt that time, Jesus
17And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed [them] all.
20And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
