Thematic Bible: Who partakes with the lord


Thematic Bible



Endure unto chastisement; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father does not chastise? And if you are without chastisement, of which all have been partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Then indeed, we had fathers of our flesh who chastised us, and we endured: how much more then shall we submit to the Father of spirits, and live? read more.
For they indeed for a few days were accustomed to chastise us according to that which seemed right to them; but he made unto our profit, in order that we might partake his holiness.


Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God did not cast away his people whom he foreknew.

Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life. read more.
But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace: and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace. What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy. But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry: if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and save some of them. For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead? But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also. And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;

Therefore, my beloved, fly from idolatry. As I speak to the wise; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? read more.

Therefore we, from the day on which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the perfect knowledge of his will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthily of the Lord in all loyalty, in every good work bearing fruit, and increasing in the perfect knowledge of God. being impowered with all power, according to the might of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy; read more.

Let the servants so many as are under the yoke, esteem those who are their masters worthy of all honor, in order that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed. But let those that have faithful masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather let them serve them, because they are the faithful and beloved who are partaking of the benefaction. Command these things and exhort them.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, coming upon you unto your testing: as some strange thing happening to you: but as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; in order that you may also rejoice in the revelation of his glory, being glad.
