Matt. 13:54-57 (AeP T21) "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country."



"And when he had come to his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, From where did this man this wisdom and his mighty works come? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And are not his sisters all here with us? From where then did this man get all these things? And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."

"No man can serve two masters..." Matt. 6:24 (AeP T21 version)


"No man can serve two masters, because either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will cling to the one, and hate the other. You cannot serve God and riches."

"And the second is like, namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself." Mark 12:28-34 in the AeP T21 Version

"And one of the Scribes came who had heard them disputing together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, Oh, Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your understanding, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, You will love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

And the Scribe said to him, Well, Master, you have said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he, And to love him with all the heart,and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any questions."

"These things I write to you, so you do not sin." 1 John 2:1-6 (AeP Tyndale21 Version

"My little children, these things I write to you, so you do not sin. If any man sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, who is righteous, And it is he who obtains grace for our sins, and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of all the world. And by this we are sure that we know him: if we keep his commandments. He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Whoever keeps his word, in him is the love of God perfected in deed. And by that, we know that we are in him. He who said he lives in him ought to walk just as he walked."

Scripture: John 1:19-24 in the AeP T21 Version "I am the voice of a crier in the desert"

"And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? And he confessed, and did not deny, but said plainly, I am not Christ. And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you a prophet? And he answered, No. Then they said to him, Who are you, so we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? He said, I am the voice of a crier in the desert, Make straight the road of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. And those who were sent were from the Pharisees."

Matthew 6:14-18 (AeP T21 Version) "Because if you do not forgive the sins of others..."


"Because if you will forgive the sins of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, But if you do not forgive the sins of others, your Father will no longer forgive your sins. Further, when you fast, do not be sad as the hypocrites are, because they disfigure their faces, so they may be seen by others to be fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; So that you do not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly."

Matthew 6:14-18 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels.

John 15:4-8 (AeP T21 version) "Live in me, and let me live in you"

"Live in me, and let me live in you. As the branch cannot produce fruit by itself, unless it lives in the vine, no more can you, unless you live in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in me, and I in him, will produce much fruit. Because without me, you can do nothing. If a man does not live in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and withers, and men gather it, and throw it into the fire, and it burns. If you live in me, and my words live in you, you will ask what you wish, and it will be done to you. In this, my Father is glorified - that you produce much fruit and be my disciples."
- John 15:4-8 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels
