Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

highlighted John 16:7-20 KJV

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me;

highlighted Proverbs 21:1-7 KJV

The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.

And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus; And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

"Now therefore why do you aput God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which bneither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?"But we believe that we are saved through athe grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are."All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were arelating what bsigns and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.After they had stopped speaking, aJames answered, saying, "Brethren, listen to me."aSimeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name."With this the words of athe Prophets agree, just as it is written,'aAFTER THESE THINGS bI will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT,aSO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE Lord, AND ALL THE GENTILES bWHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,'aSAYS THE Lord, WHO bMAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO."Therefore it is amy judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,aSome men came down from Judea and began teaching bthe brethren, "Unless you are ccircumcised according to dthe custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."but that we write to them that they abstain from athings contaminated by idols and from bfornication and from cwhat is strangled and from blood."For aMoses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."Then it seemed good to athe apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to bAntioch with Paul and Barnabas--Judas called Barsabbas, and cSilas, leading men among dthe brethren,and they sent this letter by them, "aThe apostles and the brethren who are elders, to bthe brethren in cAntioch and dSyria and eCilicia who are from the Gentiles, fgreetings."Since we have heard that asome of our number to whom we gave no instruction have bdisturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls,ait seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,men who have arisked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."Therefore we have sent aJudas and bSilas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth."For ait seemed good to bthe Holy Spirit and to cus to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials:that you abstain from athings sacrificed to idols and from ablood and from athings strangled and from afornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell."And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and adebate with them, bthe brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the capostles and elders concerning this issue.So when they were sent away, athey went down to Antioch; and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.When they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement.aJudas and bSilas, also being cprophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened dthe brethren with a lengthy message.After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brethren ain peace to those who had bsent them out.[But it seemed good to Silas to remain there.]But aPaul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and bpreaching with many others also, cthe word of the Lord.Therefore, being asent on their way by the church, they were passing through both bPhoenicia and Samaria, cdescribing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and were bringing great joy to all dthe brethren.When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church and athe apostles and the elders, and they breported all that God had done with them.But some of athe sect of the bPharisees who had believed stood up, saying, "It is necessary to ccircumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses."aThe apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter.After there had been much adebate, Peter stood up and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days bGod made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of cthe gospel and believe."And God, awho knows the heart, testified to them bgiving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us;and aHe made no distinction between us and them, bcleansing their hearts by faith.

highlighted Acts 15:1-35 KJV

Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles. Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still. Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for awe do not know how to pray as we should, but bthe Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;and aHe who searches the hearts knows what bthe mind of the Spirit is, because He cintercedes for the saints according to the will of God.And we know that God causes aall things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are bcalled according to His purpose.For those whom He aforeknew, He also bpredestined to become cconformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the dfirstborn among many brethren;and these whom He apredestined, He also bcalled; and these whom He called, He also cjustified; and these whom He justified, He also dglorified.
