Thematic Bible: Of the word


Thematic Bible



just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word,





for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

But now finish doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability.

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. read more.

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.


So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.




“Is not My word like fire?” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer which shatters a rock?


Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts,
“Because you have spoken this word,
Behold, I am making My words in your mouth fire
And this people wood, and it will consume them.








Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.
