John 1:47

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, you are my disciples indeed;

For not that which is external is the Jew, nor is that which is external in the flesh circumcision.

Not that the word of God has failed of being accomplished. For all are not Israel who are of Israel;

We are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and trust not in the flesh,

Laying aside therefore all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speakings,

and in their mouth was found no deceit; for they are blameless.

If any one will do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or whether I speak from myself.
