Leaving

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.

Principles of the doctrine

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

In the beginning was the Word,

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

And most certainly, the mystery of godliness is great:

He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated in the Spirit,
seen by angels,
preached among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.

Let

If then, perfection came through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead.

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
shining brighter and brighter until midday.

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

But when the perfect comes,
the partial will come to an end.

Therefore, dear friends, since we have such promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, completing our sanctification in the fear of God.

for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a slave of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always contending for you in his prayers, so that you can stand mature and fully assured in everything God wills.

But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

Now the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will personally restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little.

No one has ever seen God.

If we love one another, God remains in us and His love is perfected in us.

Laying

The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock.

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the river crashed against that house and couldn’t shake it, because it was well built.

According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it.

storing up for themselves a good reserve for the age to come, so that they may take hold of life that is real.

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription:

The Lord knows those who are His,

and

Everyone who names the name of the Lord
must turn away from unrighteousness.

Repentance

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call to Him while He is near.

“Therefore, house of Israel, I will judge each one of you according to his ways.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “Repent and turn from all your transgressions, so they will not be a stumbling block that causes your punishment.

“Then I will pour out a spirit

of grace and prayer on the house of David and the residents of Jerusalem, and they will look at Me whom they pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child and weep bitterly for Him as one weeps for a firstborn.

and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”

From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”

“He answered, ‘I don’t want to!’ Yet later he changed his mind and went.

So they went out and preached that people should repent.

“Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

When they heard this they became silent. Then they glorified God, saying, “So God has granted repentance resulting in life even to the Gentiles!”

“Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all people everywhere to repent,

I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

Instead, I preached to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.

For godly grief produces a repentance not to be regretted and leading to salvation, but worldly grief produces death.

instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth.

Faith

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.

“I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life.

Then Jesus cried out, “The one who believes in Me believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me.

“Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.

who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

(The one who believes in the Son of God has this testimony within him. The one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony God has given about His Son.)
