1 Thessalonians 4 Rapture

1st Thess 4
Part#1

1Th 4:1 Furthermore then we (servant leadership) beseech (request) you (Christians), brethren, and exhort (invite) you (Christians) by the Lord Jesus, that as you (Christians) have received of us (servant leadership) how you (Christians) ought to walk and to please God, so you (Christians) would abound (thrive) more and more.

Christians Invited (Fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22-25)

1. Rom 12:1-2 I (Paul) beseech you (Christians) therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your (physical) bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And (Christians) be not conformed to this world (2Cor 4:4): but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2. 2Co 5:1-2 For we know that if our earthly house (physical body) of this tabernacle were dissolved, we (Christians) have a building of God, an house (physical body) not made with hands (Acts 17:24 1Cor 3:16), eternal in the heavens (Heb 12:23). 2Co 5:2 For in this we (Christians) groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house (physical body) which is from heaven:
3. Joh 2:19-22 Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this (2nd Jewish) temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you (John 3:1-8) rear it up in three days? Joh 2:21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. Joh 2:22 When therefore he was risen (Matt 27:50-53 Eph 4:8) from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
4. 2Co 6:1-2 We (servant leadership) then, as workers together with him (Jesus), beseech you (Christians) also that you receive not the grace of God in vain. 2Co 6:2 (For he says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored (sustained) you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
5. Eph 4:1 I (Paul) therefore, the prisoner of the Lord (Jesus Acts 2:36), beseech you (Christians) that you walk worthy of the vocation (purpose) wherewith you (Christians) are called (christened),
6. Phm 1:9-10 Yet for love's sake I (Philemon) rather beseech you (Christians), being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus (the) Christ. Phm 1:10 I(Philemon) beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I (Philemon) have begotten in my bonds:
7. Heb 13:22 And I beseech you (Christian), brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
8. Eph 4:18-24 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them (rejectors), because of the blindness of their heart: Eph 4:19 Who (rejectors) being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness (lust), to work all uncleanness with greediness. Eph 4:20 But you have not so learned Christ; Eph 4:21 If so be that you have heard him (Christ), and have been taught by him, as the truth (John 14:6) is in Jesus: Eph 4:22 That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts (1John 2:16); Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. See Heb 5:12-6:1-6 paper

1. 1Th 4:1-2 Furthermore then we (servant leadership) beseech you (Christians), brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received of us (servant leadership) how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound (flourish) more and more. 1Th 4:2 For you (Christians) know what commandments (Matt 22:37-40 Col 2:14 Rom 10:4) we (servant leadership) gave you (Christians) by the Lord Jesus (Acts 2:36).
2. 2Th 2:1-3 Now we (servant leadership) beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus (the) Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2Th 2:2 That you (Christians) be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us (servant leadership), as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you (Christians) by any means: for that day (1Cor 15) shall not come, except there comes a falling away first (Heb 5:12-6:1-6), and that man of sin (Rev 13:1-10 Dan 11:36-45 {1st half of the seven year tribulation) be revealed, the son of perdition (takes tittle 2nd half of Tribultion});
3. 1Ti 5:21 I (Paul) charge you (Christians) before God, and the Lord Jesus (the) Christ, and the elect angels, that you (Christians) observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality (favoritism).
4. 1Ti 6:13-14 I (Paul) give you (Christians) charge in the sight of God, who quickens all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 1Ti 6:14 That you (Christians) keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing (Rev 1:7 1Cor 15) of our Lord Jesus (the) Christ:
5. 2Ti 4:1-4 I (Paul) charge you (Christians) therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus (the) Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2Ti 4:2 (Christians) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they (1Tim 4:1 Rev 2&3) will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts (Rom 1:21-32 Isa 30:10 2Tim 4:3) shall they (rejectors) heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2Ti 4:4 And they (rejectors) shall turn away their ears from the truth (John 14:6), and shall be turned unto fables (stories).

Pleasing God

1. Act 20:27 For I (Paul) have not shunned to declare unto you (Christians) all the counsel (Rev 10:7 Eph 3:10) of God. Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves (servant leadership), and to all the flock (Christians), over the which the Holy Ghost has made you (servant leadership) overseers (servants of Christians), to feed the (True) church (Matt 16:13-20 Col 1:13-18 Heb 12:23) of God, which he has purchased with his own blood (Eph 1:7 Col 1:14).
2. 1Co 11:23 For I (Paul) have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you (Christians), that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed (Matt 26:14-16) took bread:

1. 1Co 11:27-28 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

• Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden underfoot the Son of God (Jesus), and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace? Jude 1:23 spotted by the flesh

1. Heb 11:38-40 (Of whom the world was not worthy (see marriage parable paper Matt 22:1-14 they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
2. Php 1:27 Only let your (Christians) conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ (Rom 1:16 2Cor 4:4 1Cor 15:1-4): that whether I (Paul) come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you (Christians) stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
3. 1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I (Paul) declare unto you (Christians) the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you (Christians) have received, and wherein you (Christians) stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also you (Christians) are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. See Heb 5:12-6:1-6)
4. 1Th 2:12-13 That you (Christians) would walk worthy of God, who has called you (Christians Eph 4:30) unto his kingdom and glory. 1Th 2:13 For this cause also thank we (Christians) God without ceasing, because, when you received the word of God which you (Christians) heard of us (servant leadership), you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you (Christians) that believe.
5. Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Rom 8:9 But you (Christians) are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you (Christians Acts 17:24 1Cor 6:16). Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his (Christ). Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you (Christians), the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
6. Col 1:9 For this cause we (servant leadership) also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you (Christians), and to desire that you (Christians) might be filled with the knowledge of his (God) will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; Col 1:10 That you (Christians) might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work (Titus 3:5 Matt 22:37-40), and increasing in the knowledge (Hos 6:6 Rom 11:3) of God; 2Tim 2:15
7. Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him (God): for he that comes to God must believe that he (God) is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
8. Job 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
9. Pro 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day. Continued on next page:

1. Joh 15:1 I (Jesus) am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Joh 15:2 Every branch in me (Jesus) that bear not fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he cleans it (branch), that it may bring forth more fruit. . Joh 15:3 Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
2. 1Co 15:58 Therefore, my (Paul) beloved (Christian) brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you (Christians) know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
3. Php 3:13-15 Brethren, I (Paul) count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before, Php 3:14 I (Paul) press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Php 3:15 Let us (Christians) therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you (Christians) are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to you.
4. 2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given to us (Christians) exceeding great and precious promises; that by these you (Christians) might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2Pe 1:5 And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your (Christians) faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 2Pe 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 2Pe 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 2Pe 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you (Christians) shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus (the) Christ. 2Pe 1:9 But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purified from his old sins. 2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you (Christians) do these things, you shall never fall:
5. 2Ti 2:14 Of these things (Christians) put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 2Ti 2:15 Study to show yourself (Christians) approved to God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings (1Tim 1:6): for they will increase to more ungodliness.

1Th 4:2 For you (Christians) know what commandments we (servant leadership) gave you (Christians) by the Lord Jesus.

• Mat 22:37 KJV Jesus said unto him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all you mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Commandments of Freedom

1. Eze 3:17-18 Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. Eze 3:18 When I say to the wicked, you shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
2. Mat 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted John 20:24-29). Mat 28:18 And Jesus came, and spoke to them, saying, all power is given to me in heaven and upon earth. Mat 28:19 Go you (11 Apostles) therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father (Title), and of the Son (Title), and of the Holy Spirit (Title). Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatever I (Jesus) have commanded you (11 Apostles): and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen.
3. 1Co 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law (Gal 2:17-20) to God, but under the law (Rom 10:9-10 Eph 2:8-10) to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law (Rom 7:4).
4. 2Th 3:6-7 Now we (servant leadership) command you (Christian), brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks (disorderly 2Tim 3:5-7), and not after the tradition which he received from us. 2Th 3:7 For yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 2Tim 3:1-7 Rom 1:21-32)
5. 2Th 3:10 For even when we (servant leadership) were with you (Christians), this we commanded you (Christians), that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Part#2
1Th 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your (Christian) sanctification, that you (Christians) should abstain from fornication (disobedience):
The Will of God (Heb 10:16)

1. Psa 40:7-11 Then said I ( God), Lo, I (God) come: in the volume of the book (John 5:39 Heb 10:7 {Rev 20:12}) it is written of me (Christ), Psa 40:8 I (Christ) delight to do your (God) will, O my (Christ) God: yes, your (God) law is within my (Christ) heart. Psa 40:9 I (Christ) have preached righteousness in the great congregation (Psa 22:25 Heb 12:23 Rev 19:6-9): lo, I (Christ) have not refrained my (Christ) lips, O LORD (GOD), you (God) know. Psa 40:10 I (Christ) have not hid your (God) righteousness within my (Christ) heart (2Cor 5:19); I (Christ) have declared your (God) faithfulness and your (God) salvation: I (Christ) have not concealed your (God) loving-kindness and your (God) truth from the great congregation. Psa 40:11 Withhold not your (God) tender mercies from me (Christ), O LORD (GOD): let your (God) loving-kindness and your (God) truth continually preserve me (Christ).
2. Psa 143:9-12 Deliver me (Christ), O LORD, from my (Christ) enemies: I (Christ) flee to you (God) to hide me (Christ). Psa 143:10 Teach me (Christ) to do your (God) will; for you (God) are my (Christ) God: Your (God) spirit (John 4:24) is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Psa 143:11 Revive me (Christ), O LORD (GOD), for your (God) name's sake: for your (God) righteousness' sake bring my (Christ) soul out of trouble. Psa 143:12 And of your (God) mercy cut off my (Christ) enemies, and destroy all them (rejectors Rom 1:21-32 2Tim 3:1-7) that afflict my (Christ) soul: for I (Christ) am your (God) servant.
3. Mat 7:21 Not everyone that says to me (Jesus) Lord, Lord, shall enter (Matt 15:8 Isa 30:1) into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my (Jesus) Father who (God) is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me (Jesus) in that day, Lord, Lord, have we (rejectors) not prophesied in your (Jesus) name? and in your (Jesus) name (Acts 4:12) have cast out demons? and in your (Jesus) name done many wonderful works (Titus 4:5)? Mat 7:23 And then will I (Jesus) profess to them (rejectors), I (Jesus) never knew you (rejectors Matt 22:11) depart from me (Jesus), you (rejectors) that work iniquity. See Matt 22 marriage parable paper Heb 5:12-6:1-6 paper
4. Mat 12:50 For whoever shall do the will of my (Jesus) Father who (God) is in heaven, the same is my (Jesus) brother (Gal 4:7 Heb 1:2 Heb 11:7), and sister, and mother.
5. Joh 4:34 Jesus says to them, my food is to do the will of him (God) that sent me (Jesus), and to finish his (God) work. Matt 16:13-20)
6. Joh 17:17 Sanctify them (Christians) through your (God) truth: your (God) word is truth.
7. Rom 12:1-2 I (Paul) beseech you (Christians) therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you (Christians) present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your (Christians) reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world (Matt 4:5 1John 2:15 Rev 2&3): but be you (Christians) transformed by the renewing (Titus 3:5 John 3:3-8 1Pet 1:23) of your (Christian) mind, that you (Christians) may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
8. Eph 5:17-18 Wherefore be you (Christians) not unwise, but understanding (2Tim 2:15) what the will of the Lord is. Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled (Acts 17:24 1Cor 6:16) with the Spirit Matt 3:11 John 14:26);
9. Eph 6:5-8 (Christian) Servants, be obedient to them that are your (Christian) masters (bosses) according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your (Christian) heart, as to (following) Christ; Eph 6:6 Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; Eph 6:7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Eph 6:8 Knowing that whatever good thing any (Christian) man does, the same will he (Christian) receive from the Lord, whether he (Christian) be bond or free (John 8:36).
10. Col 1:8-10 Who (Epaphras-minister of Christ Col 1:7) also declared to us (servant leadership) your (Christians) love in the Spirit (John 4:24 John 15:26 2Cor 3:17). Col 1:9 For this cause we (servant leadership) also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you (Christians), and to desire that you may be filled with the knowledge of his (God) will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (James 3:17 1Cor 3:18); Col 1:10 That you (Christians) may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work (Gal 5:22-23), and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11. Heb 10:35-36 Cast not away therefore your (Christians) confidence, which has great recompense of reward. Heb 10:36 For you (Christians) have need of patience, that, after you (Christians) have done the will of God, you (Christians) may receive the promise (John 16:14-16 John 14:26 2Tim 1:1 Titus 1:2 1John 2:25). See the two covenants paper
12. Heb 13:20-21 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our (Christians) Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the (Christian) sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Heb 13:21 Make you (Christians) perfect in every good work to do his (God) will, working in you (Christians) that which is well-pleasing in his (God) sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
13. 1Pe 4:2 That he (Christians) no longer should live the rest of his (Christians) time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
14. 1Jn 2:15 (Christians) Love not the world (sin nature), neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, (1) the lust of the flesh, (2) and the lust of the eyes, (3) and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world (2Cor 4:4 Eph 2:2) . 1Jn 2:17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it: but he (Saints) that does the will (Acts 16:31 Dan 7:27) of God abides forever.
15. Luk 11:2 And he said to them (disciples), when you pray, say, our Father who are in heaven, hallowed be your name. your (God) kingdom come. Your (God) will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

Sanctification of Saints
God Sanctifies Jesus

1. Joh 10:33-39 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you (Jesus); but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God. Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods? Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Joh 10:36 Say you (Jews) of him (God) , whom (Jesus) the Father has sanctified (set apart), and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God? Joh 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. Joh 10:38 But if I do, though you (Jews) believe not me, believe the works: that you (Jews) may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. Joh 10:39 Therefore they (Jews) sought again to take him (Jesus): but he escaped out of their hand,

The Brethren of Jesus Sanctified

1. Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I (Jesus) commend you to God, and to the word of his (God) grace, which is able to build you (brethren) up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (set apart).

Faith in Jesus brings Sanctification

1. Act 26:14-18 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I (Saul) heard a voice (Jesus) speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? it is hard for you to kick against the pricks. Act 26:15 And I said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom you persecute. Act 26:16 But rise, and stand upon your feet: for I have appeared unto you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of these things which you have seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto you; Act 26:17 Delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send you, Act 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified (set apart) by faith that is in me.

Gentile Sanctified by Holy Ghost

1. Rom 15:16 That I (Paul) be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

Christians Sanctified in Jesus

1. 1Co 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be (Christian) saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

God made Sanctification and Gave It to Christians

1. 1Co 1:30 But of him (God) are you (Christians) in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

Christians are Sanctified

1. 1Co 6:9-11 Know you 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, 1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you (Christians) are sanctified, (set apart) but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

God's Will is Christian Sanctification

1. 1Th 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your (Christians) sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication (sex before marriage): 1Th 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel (physical) in sanctification and honor; Continued on next page:

Christian Salvation, Truth, and Sanctification

1. 2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you (Christian), brethren beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Food Choice is Sanctified

1. 1Ti 4:1-5 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some (moral denominationalists) shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines (teachings) of devils (fallen angels); 1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy (false pretense); having their (moral denominationalists) conscience seared with a hot iron; 1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them (Christians) which believe and know the truth. 1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 1Ti 4:5 For it (what to eat) is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Purged, Sanctified, and for God's Use

1. 2Ti 2:19-22 Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them (Christians) that are his. And, Let every one (Christians) that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. 2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge (get rid of) himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 2Ti 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Jesus Sanctifies Christians

1. Heb 2:9-11 But we (Christians) see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Heb 2:10 For it became him (Jesus), for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many (Christian) sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Christians are Sanctified by the Holy Spirit

1. 1Pe 1:2-5(Christians) Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you (Christians), and peace, be multiplied. 1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1Pe 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you, 1Pe 1:5 Who (Christians) are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Christians Sanctified by God the Father

1. Jud 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them (Christians) that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

Sanctification = The act of making holy. In an evangelical sense, the act of God's grace by which the affections of men are purified or alienated from sin and the world, and exalted to a supreme love to God.

God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:13. 1 Peter 1:2.
Abstention of Fortification

1. Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: Mat 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
2. 1Co 3:4-6 For while one says, I am of Paul (denominational); and another, I am of Apollos (denominational); are you not carnal (sinful nature)? 1Co 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 1Co 3:6 I (Paul) have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
3. 1Co 6:15 Know you (Christians) not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I (Paul) then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot (denominationalism)? God forbid. 1Co 6:16 What? know you (Christians) not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh. 1Co 6:17 But he (Christians) that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication (denominationalism Col 3:5). Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body.
4. Rev 17:3-6 So he (angel) carried me (John) away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman (evil Jerusalem) sit upon a scarlet colored beast (Lucifer Rev 12:3), full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads (seven kings) and ten horns (ten nations). Rev 17:4 And the woman (evil Jerusalem) was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup (3rd Jewish Temple Rev 11:1-2) in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: Rev 17:5 And upon her (evil Jerusalem) forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (denominations) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Rev 17:6 And I (John) saw the woman (evil Jerusalem) drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I (John) saw her (evil Jerusalem), I wondered with great admiration.

• Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I (Jesus) have a few things against you (general assembly of denominationalism), because you suffer that woman Jezebel (false teacher), which call herself (see calling self into service paper) a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my (Jesus) servants to commit fornication, and to eat things (1Kings 18:19) sacrificed unto idols. Rev 2:21 And I (Jesus) gave her space (Acts 17:30 see age of ignorance paper) to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Rev 2:22 Behold, I (Jesus) will cast her (Jezebel) into a bed (spiritual wickedness 1Tim 4:1), and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Rev 2:23 And I (Jesus) will kill her (Jezebel) children with death (Rev 20:14-15); and all the churches (Rev 1:11) shall know that I (Jesus) am he which searches the reins and hearts: and I (Jesus) will give unto every one of you according to your works.

3. Eze 16:24 That you (denominationalism) have also built unto you an eminent place, and have made you (denominationalism) an high place in every street.

Eze 16:26 You (Jews parallel denominations) have also committed fornication with the Egyptians your neighbors, great of flesh (sin nature); and have increased your whoredoms, to provoke me (God) to anger.
4. Eze 16:31 In that you built your eminent place (denominational sects) in the head of every way, and make your high place (denominational sects) in every street; and have not been as an harlot, in that you scorn (Psa 1 Matt 23:2) hire;

1Th 4:4 That every one of you (Christians) should know how to possess his vessel (physical body) in sanctification and honor;

Christians using their Physical Bodies in Sanctification and Honor

1. Rom 6:18-19 Being then made free from sin, you (Christians) became the servants of righteousness. Rom 6:19 I (Paul) speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your (Christians) flesh: for as you (Christians) have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
2. Rom 12:1-2 I (Paul) beseech you (Christians) therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Rom 12:2 And (Christians) be not conformed to this world: but be you (Christians) transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you (Christians) may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3. 1Pe 2:4-5 To whom coming, as unto a living stone (Jesus), disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 1Pe 2:5 You (Christians) also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house (Heb 12:23), an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus (the) Christ.
4. Hos 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, take away all iniquity, and receive us (Christians) graciously: so will we (Christians) render the calves of our lips.
5. 1Co 6:19-20 What? know you (Christians) not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you (Christians Acts 17:24), which you (Christians) have of God, and you are not your own (Eph 1:14)? 1Co 6:20 For you (Christians) are bought with a price (Eph 1:7 Col 1:14): therefore glorify God in your (Christians) body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

• 1Sa 21:5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yes, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

6. Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, go your way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me (the Lord), to bear my name (Acts 4:12) before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

7. Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen (servant leadership).

8. Rom 9:21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his (God) power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: Rom 9:23 And that he might make known the riches of his (the Lord) glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore (Rom 8:29) prepared unto glory, Rom 9:24 Even us (Christians), whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

9. 2Ti 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. 2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work (Titus 3:5).

10. Php 4:8 Finally, (Christian) brethren, (1) whatsoever things are true, (2) whatsoever things are honest, (3) whatsoever things are just, (4) whatsoever things are pure, (5) whatsoever things are lovely, (6) whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, (Christians) think on these things.

11. Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Jude 1:23 Matt 5:11 Matt 11:11)

12. 2Co 11:2 For I (God) am jealous over you (Christians) with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present (Rev 19:6-9) you (Christians) as a chaste virgin to Christ. See marriage parable, Matt 22:11 sent away

13. Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I (Paul) speak concerning Christ and the (True) church (Matt 16:13-20 Acts 20:28 Col 1:13-18 Heb 12:23).
1Th 4:5 Not in the lust of concupiscence (inner struggle-lusts 1John 2:15), even as the Gentiles which know not God:

Concupiscence-Inner Struggle

1. Col 3:5-6 Mortify (put to death) therefore your (Christians) members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: Col 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience (Eph 2:2):
2. Rom 1:24-26 Wherefore God also gave them (rejectors) up to uncleanness through the lusts of their (rejectors) own hearts, to dishonor their own (rejectors) bodies between themselves: Rom 1:25 Who (rejectors) changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them (rejectors Jer 6:30 2Tim 3:8) up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
3. Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. No, I (Paul) (had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said (Gal 3:24-27), you shall not covet. Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law (Col 2:14 Rom 10:4) sin was dead.
4. Jas 1:13-16 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Jas 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

• Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering (hell fig leaves Gen 3:7), but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

• Rev 6:8 And I (John) looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Eph 4:17-20 This I (Paul) say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you (Christians) henceforth walk not as other (rejectors) Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Eph 4:19 Who (rejectors) being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. Eph 4:20 But you (Christians) have not so learned Christ;
2. 1Pe 4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we (Christians) walked in lasciviousness (filth), lusts, excess of wine, reveling (party), banqueting , and abominable (offensive-disrespect) idolatries:

4. Act 17:30-31 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent: Act 17:31 Because he (God) has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man (Jesus) whom he (God) has ordained; whereof he has given assurance unto all men, in that he (God) has raised him (Jesus) from the dead (Matt 27:50-52 Eph 4:8). see times ignorance paper

6. Gal 4:8-9 Howbeit then, when you (Christians) knew not God, you (immature Christians) did service unto them which by nature are no gods. Gal 4:9 But now, after that you (immature Christians) have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you (immature Christians) again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto you (immature Christians) desire again to be in bondage?

11. Luk 22:3-6 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. Luk 22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he (Judas) might betray him (Jesus) unto them (chief priests).

Mat 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross (2Thess 2:3-4), and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed (Matt 13:13 Rev 2:7); lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart (John 3:8 1Pet 1:23 Matt 18:3 Rom 8:28-30), and should be converted (Acts 28:27 Luke 22:31-32), and I (Jesus) should heal them. Rev 9:20-21
6. Joh 12:40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
7. Luk 22:3 Then entered Satan (Lucifer) into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. Luk 22:4 And he went his way, and communed (1Cor 6:16 Isa 28:15 Rev 6:8) with the chief priests and captains, how he (Judas) might betray him (Jesus) unto them (chief priests). Luk 22:5 And they (chief priests) were glad, and covenanted to give him (Judas) money. Luk 22:6 And he (Judas) promised, and sought opportunity to betray him (Jesus) unto them (chief priests) in the absence of the multitude. See Judas Covenant paper
8. Rev 2:13 I (Jesus) know your (rejectors) works (Titus 3:5), and where you dwell, even where Satan's (Lucifer) seat (throne) is: and you (rejectors) hold fast my (Jesus) name (Acts 4:12), and have not denied my (Jesus) faith (Isa 29:13 2Tim 3:5), even in those days wherein Antipas was my (Jesus) faithful martyr (92AD), who was slain among you (Jews), where Satan (Lucifer) dwells. Stephen parallels Antipas
9. Luk 8:12 Those (rejectors) by the wayside (Matt 7:13-14 Psa 140:5) are they that hear; then comes the devil (Lucifer Matt 4:1 1Pet 5:8), and takes away the word (John 1:1-3 John 1:14) out of their hearts (emotional makeup Matt 15:11), lest they should believe (Jer 6:16-17 Rom 10:9-10 Eph 2:8-10) and be saved. See Heb 5:12-6:1-6 paper

1Th 4:7 For God has not called us (Christians) unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

God Calls Christians unto Holiness

1. Lev 11:44 For I am the LORD your (Jews) God: you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
2. Lev 19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, you shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
3. Rom 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our (Christians) Father, and the Lord Jesus (the) Christ.
4. Rom 8:29 For whom he(God) did foreknow, he (God) also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he (Jesus) might be the firstborn among many (Christian) brethren. Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he (God) did predestinate, them he also called: and whom (Christians) called, them he (God) also justified: and whom he (God) justified, them (Christians) he (God) also glorified.
5. 1Th 1:2 We (servant leadership) give thanks to God always for you (Christians) all, making mention of you in our (servant leadership) prayers;
6. Eph 1:4 According as he (God) has chosen us (Christians) in him (Jesus) before the foundation (Rom 8:28-29 1Pet 1:2) of the world, that we (Christians) should be holy (Eph 4:24) and without blame before him (God) in love:
7. Eph 2:10 For we are his (God) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works (Titus 3:5), which God has before ordained that we (Christians) should walk in them.
8. Eph 4:1 I(Paul) therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you (Christians) that you walk worthy of the vocation (purpose in life John 6:44) wherewith you (Christians) are called, see Marriage parable Matt 22:1-14
9. 2Th 2:13-14 But we (servant leadership) are bound to give thanks always to God for you (Christian), brethren beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning (Gen 1:1) chosen you (Christians) to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit (John 4:24 John 15:25 2Cor 3:17) and belief of the truth (John 14:6): 2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our (servant leadership) gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus (the) Christ.
10. 2Ti 1:9 Who (God) has saved us (Christians), and called us with an holy calling, not according to our (Christians) works (Titus 3:5), but according to his (God) own purpose and grace (Dan 2:21-22 Rom 10:9-10 Eph 2:8-10), which was given (John 1:14 John 19:30) us in Christ Jesus before the world began (Gen 1:1 Rom 8:28-30 Eph 1:11),
11. Heb 12:14 (Christians) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
12. 1Pe 1:14-16 As obedient (Christian) children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts (Gal 5:19-21) in your ignorance: 1Pe 1:15 But as he (God) which has called you (Christians) is holy, so be you (Christians) holy in all manner of conversation (2Cor 1:12 1Pet 3:21); 1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, be you holy; for I (God) am holy.
13. 1Pe 2:9-12 But you (Christians) are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood (Heb 5:6), an holy nation (Heb 12:23 {Psa 83:4}), a peculiar people; that you (Christians) should show forth the praises of him (God) who has called you (Christians) out of darkness (Eph 2:2 John 1:5 ) into his (God) marvelous light: 1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1Pe 2:11 Dearly beloved, I (Paul) beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly (sin nature) lusts, which war (1John 2:15) against the soul; 1Pe 2:12 Having your (Christians) conversation honest (John 4:24) among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you (Christians) as evildoers, they may by your (Christians) good works (Gal 5:21-23 James 2:26 Matt 7:16), which they shall behold, glorify God in the day (John 14:1-3 Matt 27:50-53 1Cor 15:50-58 1Thess 4:13-18) of visitation (1John 3:2 Rev 1:7).
14. 1Pe 2:21-22 For even hereunto were you (Christians) called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you (Christians) should follow his (Christ) steps: 1Pe 2:22 Who (Jesus) did no sin (Isa 53:9 2Cor 5:21), neither was guile found in his (Jesus) mouth:
15. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh (sin nature) are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20-21 Rom 1:21-32
16. Eph 4:19 Who (rejectors) being past feeling have given themselves (rejectors) over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
17. 1Th 2:3 For our (servant leadership) exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
18. 2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them (rejectors) that walk after the flesh (sin nature) in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they (rejectors), self-willed, they (rejectors) are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

• Job 40:19 He (behemoth Lucifer) is the chief of the ways (Isa 45:7 Psa 34:21 Prov 14:12) of God: he (God) that made him (Lucifer Ezek 28:15) can make his sword to approach unto him. See behemoth paper, see Prov 14:12 paper

1. 2Co 6:14-18) Be you (Christians) not unequally yoked (Deut 28:42 Matt 11:30) together with unbelievers (rejectors): for what fellowship has righteousness (2Cor 5:21) with unrighteousness (2Cor 6:15)? and what communion has light (God) with darkness (Lucifer)? 2Co 6:15 And what concord (agreement Isa 28:15 Luke 22:5 Matt 26:15) has Christ (Jesus) with Belial (Lucifer)? or what part has he (Christians) that believes with an infidel (non-believer)? 2Co 6:16 And what agreement has the temple (Acts 17:24 Mark 14:58) of God with idols? for you (Christians) are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them (Christians), and walk in them; and I (God) will be their God, and they (Christians) shall be my people. 2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them (rejectors), and be you (Christians) separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I (God) will receive you (Christians), 2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you (Christians), and you shall be my sons (John 1:12 1Cor 4:20 Matt 11:11) and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

1Th 4:8 He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit.

1Th 4:8 He (rejectors) therefore that despises (rejects), despises not man, but God (John 15:8 John 15:25 1Cor 1:18), who has also given unto us (Christians) his (God) holy Spirit (John 4:24 John 15:26).

Despising God

1. 1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto you: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
2. 1Sa 10:19 And you have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said unto him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
3. Joh 12:48 He that rejects me (Jesus), and receives not my words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge (Rev 20:14-15) him in the last day.
4. Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
5. Pro 23:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
6. Isa 49:7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him (God) whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhorrers, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
7. Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him (Jesus); he has put him to grief: when you (God) shall make his (Jesus) soul an offering (John 19:30) for sin, he (God) shall see his (Jesus) seed (Gen 3:15), he (God) shall prolong his (Jesus) days (Rev 21:1-2), and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his (Jesus) hand.
8. Luk 10:15 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be thrust down to hell.
9. Joh 10:27 My (Jesus) sheep (Christians) hear my voice, and I (Jesus) know (Eph 4:30) them (Christians), and they (Christians) follow (Rom 9:9-10 Eph 2:8-10) me (Jesus):
10. Isa 6:7-11 And he (one of the Seraphim) laid it (coal) upon my (Isaiah) mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your (Isaiah) iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged. Isa 6:8 Also I (Isaiah) heard the voice of the Lord (Ex 6:8 Isa 9:6 John 1:1-3), saying, whom shall I (the Lord) send, and who will go for us (the Lord and Seraphim)? Then said I (Isaiah), here am I; send me. Isa 6:9 And he (the Lord) said, go, and tell this people, hear you (Jews) indeed, but understand not; and see you (Jews) indeed, but perceive not. Isa 6:10 (1) Make the heart of this people (Jews) fat, (2) and make their ears heavy, (3) and shut their(Jews) eyes; (1) lest they see with their eyes, (2) and hear with their ears, (3) and understand with their heart, (4) and convert, (5) and be healed. Isa 6:11 Then said I (Isaiah), Lord, how long? And he (the Lord) answered, until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
11. Act 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. Isa 28:15-22 Hab 1:5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
12. Jud 1:8 Likewise also (1) these filthy dreamers (Matt 15:9 2Tim 3:6 1Tim 4:1) defile the flesh (sin nature), (2) despise dominion (rule over (Eph 1:21 Jude 1:25), (3) and speak evil of dignities (speck evil of respect Hab 1:7 2Pet 1:10).

God Gives Christians His Holy Spirit

1. Neh 9:30 Yet many years did you (God) forbear them (Jews), and testified against them by your spirit (John 4:24 2Cor 3:17) in your prophets: yet would they (Jews) not give ear: therefore gave you (God) them into the hand of the people of the lands.

• 2Co 3:17 Now the Lord (Jesus) is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
• Rev 19:10 And I (John) fell at his (angel) feet to worship him. And he said unto me, see you (John) do it not: I (angel) am your (John) fellowservant, and of your (John) (Christian) brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

1. 1Co 2:10 But God has revealed them unto us (Christians) by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I (Jesus) will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me (Jesus):
2. 1Pe 1:12 Unto whom (prophets)(Matt 16:17) it (prophecy) was revealed, that not unto themselves (prophets), but unto us (Christians) they (prophets) did minister the things (prophecy), which are now reported unto you (Christians) by them (servant leadership) that have preached the gospel (1Cor 15:1-4) unto you (Christians) with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

• Joh 1:33 And I (John the Babtist) knew him (God) not: but he (God) that sent me to baptize with water, (God) the same said unto me, upon whom you (John the Baptist) shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him (Jesus), the same is he (Jesus) which baptizes with the Holy Ghost (John 14:26).

1. Col 1:27 To whom (Christians) God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery (Rev 10:7) among the Gentiles; which is Christ (2Cor 3:17) in you (Christians), the hope of glory:
2. 2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
3. 1Jn 3:24 And he that keeps his (God) commandments dwells in him (God), and he (God) in him (Christians). And hereby we (Christians) know that he (God) abides in us (Christians), by the Spirit which he (God) has given us (Christians). Matt 22:37-40 Col 2:14 Rom 10:4
4. Act 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
5. Act 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwell not in temples made with hands; as says the prophet,

Dealings with the Holy Spirit

1. Act 5:3-4 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan (Lucifer) filled your (Ananias) heart to lie (John 8:44) to the Holy Ghost (Prov 19:5), and to keep back part of the price of the land? Act 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not your (Anaias) own? and after it was sold, was it not in your (Anaias) own power? why have you (Ananias) conceived this thing in your heart? You (Anaisa) have not lied unto men, but unto God.

• 1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan (Lucifer) for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
• Jud 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh (sin nature).

1Th 4:9 But as touching brotherly love you (Christians) need not that I (Paul) write unto you: for you yourselves are taught (1Thess 4:8) of God to love (Matt 22:37-40) one another.

Brotherly Love

1. Lev 19:8 Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
2. Psa 133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
3. Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you (disciples), that you love one another; as I (Jesus) have loved you (disciples), that you (Christians) also love one another. Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that you (disciples) are my (Jesus) disciples, if you (disciples) have love one to another.
4. Joh 15:12 This is my (Jesus) commandment, that you (disciple) love one another, as I have loved you. Joh 15:13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life (John 19:30) for his friends. Joh 15:14 You (disciples) are my (Jesus) friends, if you do whatsoever I (Jesus) command you (disciples). Joh 15:15 Henceforth I (Jesus) call you (disciples) not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I (Jesus) have called you (disciples) friends; for all things that I have heard of my (Jesus) Father I have made known unto you (disciples). Joh 15:16 You (disciples) have not chosen me (Jesus), but I have chosen you, and ordained you (disciples), that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your (disciples) fruit should remain: that whatsoever you (disciples) shall ask of the Father in my name (Acts 4:12), he (God) may give it you (disciples). Joh 15:17 These things I (Jesus) command you (disciples), that you love one another.
5. Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
6. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:9 Eph 2:8-10
7. Eph 4:1 I (Paul) therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you (Christians) that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one (Christians) another in love;
8. Heb 13:1 Let (Christian) brotherly love continue.
9. 1Pe 3:8 Finally, (1) be you (Christians) all of one mind, (2) having compassion one (Christians) of another, (3) love as brethren, (4) be pitiful, be courteous:
10. 2Pe 1:7 And (adding) to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
11. 1Jn 2:10 He that loves his brother abides in the light (John 14:6) , and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. See Heb 5:12-6:1-6 paper
12. 1Jn 3:11 For this is the message that you (Christians) heard from the beginning, that we (Christians) should love one another. 1Jn 3:14 We know that we (Christians) have passed from death unto life (Rev 1:18), because we (Christians) love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death. 1Jn 3:15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer (John 8:44): and you (Christians) know that no murderer has eternal life abiding (Matt 3:18 Acts 4:12) in him. 1Jn 3:16 Hereby perceive we (Christians) the love of God, because he (Jesus) laid down his life for us (Christians): and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1Jn 3:17 But whoso hates this world's good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him? 1Jn 3:18 My (John) little children, let us (Christians) not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1Jn 3:19 And hereby we (Christians) know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our (Christians) hearts before him (God).
13. 1Jn 4:7 Beloved (Christians), let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one (Christians) that love is born (John 3:3-8 1Pet 1:23) of God, and knows God. 1Jn 4:8 He that loves knows not God; for God is love. 1Jn 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us (Christians), because that God sent his only begotten Son (Ex 6:3 Isa 9:6 John 1:1-3) into the world, that we (Christians) might live through him (Jesus). 1Jn 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (appeasement) for our (Christians) sins. 1Jn 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us (Christians), we ought also to love one another. 1Jn 4:12 No man has seen God at any time. If we (Christians) love one another, God dwells (Acts 17:24 Matt 3:18) in us, and his love is perfected in us (Christians). 1Jn 4:13 Hereby know we (Christians) that we dwell in him (God), and he (God) in us (Christians), because he(God) has given (Matt 3:18) us of his (God) Spirit (John 4:24). 1Jn 4:14 And we (Christians) have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son (John 1:1-3) to be the Savior (Rom 10:9-10 Eph 2:8-10) of the world. 1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him (Christians), and he in God. 1Jn 4:16 And we (Christians) have known and believed the love that God has to us (Christians). God is love; and he (Christians) that dwell in love dwells in God, and God in him (Christians).

God Teaches Man Not Man Teaches Man

1. 1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2. Heb 8:10-11 For this is the covenant that I (God) will make with the house of Israel after those days (Tribulation (Jer 30:7), says the Lord; I (God) will put my laws (Matt 22:37-40) into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest )1000-year Kingdom).
3. 1Jn 2:20 But you (Christians) have an unction (anointing) from the Holy One, and you (Christians) know all things. 1Jn 2:21 I (John) have not written unto you (Christians) because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth (John 14:6). 1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar(John 8:44) but he (rejector) that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist (2Thess 2:3-4 Rev 13:1-10), that denies the Father and the Son. 1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denies the Son (Jesus), the same has not the Father: (but) he (Christians) that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1Jn 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you (Christians), which you (Christians) have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain (Heb 5:12-6:1-6) in you, you also shall continue in the Son (Jesus John 1:14 Matt 1:18), and in the Father. 1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that he (God) has promised us (Christians), even eternal life. 1Jn 2:26 These things have I (John) written unto you (Christians) concerning them (rejectors 2Tim 4:1-8 (Rom 1:21-32) that seduce you. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which you (Christians) have received of him (God) abides in you, and you (Christians) need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you (Christians), you shall abide in him (God).
4. Isa 51:13 And forget the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor? Isa 51:14 The captive exile hastens that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
5. Joh 6:44 No man can come to me (Jesus), except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I (Jesus) will raise him up at the last day (Rev 1:7 1Cor 15 1Thess 4:13-17). Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me (Jesus).

• Isa 54:13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
• Eph 4:21-22 If so be that you (Christians) have heard him (God), and have been taught by him (God), as the truth is in Jesus (John 14:6): Eph 4:22 That you put (Christians) off concerning the former conversation the old man (sin nature) , which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

1. Joh 10:27 My (Jesus) sheep (Christians) hear my voice, and I (Jesus) know them (Christians), and they (Christians) follow me (Jesus):
2. Eph 1:17 That the God of our (Christians) Lord Jesus (the) Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you (Christians) the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him (God):
3. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my (Jesus) name, he (Holy Spirit) shall teach you (Christians) all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (Christians).
4. Heb 4:14-16 Seeing then that we (Christians) have a great high priest (Jesus), that is passed into the heavens (Heb 12:23), Jesus the Son of God, let us (Christians) hold fast our profession (1Cor 15:1-4 Eph 4:1). Heb 4:15 For we (Christians) have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Heb 4:16 Let us (Christians) therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we (Christians) may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Reconciliation, Sanctification
5. 1Pe 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves (Christians): for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Eph 2:14-15

1. 2Co 8:1-2 Moreover, (Christian) brethren, we (servant leadership) do you (Christians) to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches (1Cor 16:19 Rom 16:5) of Macedonia; 2Co 8:2 How that in a great trial of affliction (1Pet 5:9) the abundance of their (Christians) joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality (friendly).
2. 2Co 8:8 I (Paul) speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your (Christians) love. 2Co 8:9 For you know the grace of our (Christians) Lord Jesus (the) Christ, that, though he (Jesus) was rich, yet for your (Christians) sakes he (Jesus) became poor, that you (Christians) through (Rom 14:10 2Cor 5:10) his (Jesus) poverty might be rich. 2Co 8:10 And herein I (Paul) give my advice: for this is expedient for you (Christians), who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
3. Eph 1:15 Wherefore I (Paul) also, after I heard of your (Christians) faith in the Lord Jesus, and love (Matt 22:37-40) unto all the saints,
4. Col 1:4 Since we (servant leadership) heard of your (Christians) faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to all the saints,
5. 1Th 1:7 So that you (Christians) were ensamples (examples) to all (Christians) that believe in Macedonia and Achaia (Roman Province).
6. 2Th 1:3 We (servant leadership) are bound to thank God always for you (Christians), brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you (Christians) all toward each other abounds;
7. Phm 1:5-9 Hearing of your (Christians) love and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; Phm 1:6 That the communication of your (Christians) faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Phm 1:7 For we (servant leadership) have great joy and consolation in your (Christians) love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother. Phm 1:8 Wherefore, though I (Paul) might be much bold in Christ to enjoin you (Christians) that which is convenient, Phm 1:9 Yet for love's sake I (Paul) rather beseech you (Christians), being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus (the) Christ.
8. Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your (Christians) love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
9. Php 3:13 Brethren, I (Paul) count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Php 3:14 I (Paul) press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Php 3:15 Let us (Christians) therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you (Christians) be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
10. 1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
11. 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart (Heb 5:12-6:1-6) from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
12. 2Pe 3:18 But (Christians) grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus (the) Christ. To him (Jesus) be glory both now and forever. Amen.
13. Ecc 12:13 Let us (Christians) hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments (Matt 22:37-40): for this is the whole duty of man.

1Th 4:11 And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

1Th 4:11 And (1) that you (Christians) study (2Tim 2:15 Acts 17:11) to be quiet, (2) and to do your own business, (3) and to work with your own hands, (4) as we (servant leadership) commanded you (Christians);

Study and be Quiet

1. Pro 17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
2. Ecc 4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
3. Lam 3:26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
4. 2Th 3:12 Now them (2Thess 3:11 busybodies) that are such we (servant leadership) command and exhort by our Lord Jesus (the) Christ, that with quietness they (busybodies) work, and eat their (2Thess 3:10) own bread. Acts 18:1-3 2Thess 3:8)
5. 1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we (Christians) may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
6. 1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man (Col 3:10 2Cor 5:17 Gal 6:15) of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
7. Rom 15:20 Yes, so have I (Paul) strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named (1Cor 3:11-13), lest I should build upon another man's (denominationalism Rev 2&3) foundation (Deut 32:31-33 Isa 28:15-18): Matt 7:24-27)
8. 2Co 5:9 Wherefore we (Paul) labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him (Jesus).

Do Your Own Business

1. Mar 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, (1) who left his house (city in heaven), (2) and gave authority to his servants, (3) and to every man his work, (4) and commanded the porter to watch.
2. Luk 12:42-43 And the Lord said, who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Luk 12:43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
3. Rom 12:3-7 For I (Paul) say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you (Christians), not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. Rom 12:4 For as we (Christians) have many members in one body (Heb 12:23), and all members have not the same office (responsibility): Rom 12:5 So we (Christians), being many, are one body (Eph 1:22-23) in Christ, and every one members (differs) one of another. Rom 12:6 (Christians) Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us (Christians), (1) whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Rom 12:7 (2) Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: (3) or he that teaches, on teaching; Rom 12:8 (4) Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: (5) he that gives, let him do it with simplicity; (6) he that rules, with diligence; (7) he that show mercy, with cheerfulness.
4. Col 3:22-25 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: Col 3:23 And whatsoever you (Christians) do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Col 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord you (Christians) shall receive the reward of the inheritance (Gal 4:7 Heb 1:2 Heb 12:17): for you (Christians) serve the Lord Christ. Col 3:25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons. 2Thess 3:11
5. 1Ti 5:13 And withal they (1Tim 3:6) learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle (Acts 19:9), but tattlers also and busybodies (1Tim 1:6), speaking things which they ought not.
6. Tit 2:4-10 That they (old women) may teach the young women(1) to be sober (Isa 29:9-13), (2) to love their husbands,(3) to love their children, Tit 2:5 (4) To be discreet, (5) chaste, (6) keepers at home, (7) good, (8) obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Tit 2:6 Young men likewise (1) exhort to be sober minded. Tit 2:7 (2) In all things showing yourself a pattern of good works (Titus 3:5): (3) in doctrine showing uncorruptness, (4) gravity, (5) sincerity, Tit 2:8 (6) Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you (Christian). Tit 2:9 (1) Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, (2) and to please them well in all things; (3) not answering again; Tit 2:10 (4) Not purloining, (5) but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
7. 1Pe 4:10-11 (1) As every (Christian) man has received the gift, (2) even so minister the same one to another, (3) as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1Pe 4:11 If any man speak, (1) let him speak as the oracles of God; (2) if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: (3) that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus (the) Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1Pet 4:15 Continued on next page:

Work with your own Hands

1. Act 20:35 (1) I (Paul) have showed you all things, (2) how that so laboring you (Christians) ought to support the weak, (3) and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
2. Rom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
3. 1Co 4:12 And (1) labor, working with our (Christians) own hands: (2) being reviled, (3) we bless; (4) being persecuted, (5) we suffer it:
4. Eph 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs.
5. Tit 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

1Th 4:12 That you (Christians) may walk honestly toward them that are without (in need Mark 4:11), and that you (Christian) may have lack of nothing (doing the right thing). Matt 22:37-40 Luke 10:25-37

• Neh 9:21 Yes, forty years did you (God) sustain them (Jews) in the wilderness, so that they (Jews) lacked nothing; their (Jews) clothes waxed not old, and their (Jews) feet swelled not.

2nd of Two Commandments (Matt 22:37-40)

1. Rom 12:17 (Christians) Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
2. Rom 13:13 Let us (Christians) walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
3. 2Co 8:20 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us (Christians) in this abundance which is administered by us: 2Co 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
4. 1Th 5:22 (Christians) Abstain from all appearance of evil.
5. Mar 4:11-12 And he (Jesus) said unto them (disciples), unto you (disciples) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them (denominationalism) that are without, all these things are done in parables: Mar 4:12 That seeing they (denominationalism) may see, and not perceive; and hearing they (denominationalism) may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they (denominationalism) should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. Isa 6:10
6. 1Co 5:12 For what have I (Paul) to do to judge them (rejectors) also that are without? do not you (Christians) judge them (Christians) that are within (1Cor 12:27 Heb 12:23)? 1Co 5:13 But them (rejectors) that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves (Christians 2Cor 6:17-18 1Cor 5:5) that wicked person.
7. Col 4:5 (Christians) Walk in wisdom toward them (rejectors) that are without, redeeming the time. Col 4:6 Let your (Christians) speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
8. 1Ti 3:7 Moreover he (Christians) must have a good report of them (rejectors) which are without; lest he (Christians) fall into reproach (find fault Luke 22:31) and the snare (Eph 6:11) of the devil. See snare paper
9. 2Co 11:7 Have I (Paul) committed an offence in abasing (humbled) myself that you (Christians) might be exalted, because I (Paul) have preached to you (Christians) the gospel of God freely (1Cor 9:18)? 2Co 11:8 I (Paul) robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you (Christians) service. 2Co 11:9 And when I (Paul) was present with you (Christians), and wanted, I was chargeable (2Thess 3:8) to no man: for that which was lacking to me (Paul) the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I (Paul) have kept myself from being burdensome unto you (Christians), and so will I (Paul) keep myself. Acts 28:30-31
10. 2Co 8:15 As it is written (Ex 16:18), he that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. Sharing
11. Luk 22:35 And he (Jesus) said unto them (apostles), when I (Jesus) sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked you (apostles) anything? And they said, Nothing. Neh 9:21

Part#7

1Th 4:13 But I (Paul) would not have you (Christians) to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them (Christians) which are asleep (dead), that you (Christians) sorrow (Lev 19:28) not, even as others (rejectors) which have no (1Cor 1:18 Rev 20:14-15) hope.

• Lev 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your (Jews) flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you (Jews): I am the LORD.

Christians not to be Ignorant

1. Act 23:8 For the Sadducees (seat within priestly class) say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees (lawyers of the Jewish written and oral law) confess both.

• Mat 3:7 But when he (Jesus) saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he (Jesus) said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you (Matt 23:33) to flee from the wrath to come?
• Mat 16:11 How is it that you (disciples) do not understand that I (Jesus) spoke it not to you (disciples) concerning bread, that you should beware of the leaven (doctrine Matt 15:9) of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

1. Rom 1:13 Now I (Paul) would not have you (Christians) ignorant (1Cor 15:29), brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (Christians), (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
2. 1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
3. 1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
4. 2Co 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:

Those that are Dead in Christ

• Act 13:36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
• Joh 11:11-13 These things said he: and after that he (Jesus) says unto them, our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I (Jesus) go, that I may awake him (Lazarus) out of sleep (2Cor 5:8 Phil 1:21). Joh 11:12 Then said his (Jesus) disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Joh 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spoke of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
• Mat 27:52 And the graves were opened (Jerusalem); and many bodies of the (Christian) saints which slept (dead) arose, (raising of Paradise)

1. Luk 8:52-53 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he (Jesus) said, weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps (dead 2Cor 5:8 Phil 1:21). Luk 8:53 And they (rejectors) laughed him (Jesus) to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
2. 1Co 15:6 After that, he (Jesus) was seen of above five hundred (Christian) brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep (died).
3. 1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead (Matt 27:51-53), and become the first-fruits of them (in Paradise Luke 16:14-31) that slept (waiting in Paradise).
4. 1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by (Christians) the word of the Lord, that we (Christians) which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord (Rev 1:7) shall not prevent them (Christians) which are asleep (died the last 2000 years).
5. 1Th 5:10 Who (Jesus) died for us (Christians), that, whether we wake or sleep, we (Christians) should live (Rev 21:1-2) together with him (Jesus).

Sorrow Not

1. Lev 19:28 You (Jews) shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
2. Gen 37:35 And all his (Jacob) sons and all his (Jacob) daughters rose up to comfort him; but he (Jacob) refused to be comforted; and he said, for I (Jacob) will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus (Jacob) his father wept for him.
3. Deu 14:1-2 You (Jews) are the children of the LORD your God: you (Jews) shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your (Jews) eyes for the dead. Deu 14:2 For you (Jews) are an holy people unto the LORD your (Jews) God, and the LORD has chosen you (Jews) to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
4. 2Sa 12:19-2o But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead. 2Sa 12:20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
5. Job 1:21 And said, naked came I (Job) out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD (Acts 4:12 Ezek 37:11). Eph 2:11
6. Eze 24:16-18 Son of man (Ezekiel), behold, I (God) take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down. Eze 24:17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of your head upon you, and put on your shoes upon your feet, and cover not your lips, and eat not the bread of men. Eze 24:18 So I (Ezekiel) spoke unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
7. Joh 11:24 Martha says unto him (Jesus), I (Martha) know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. John 11:25
8. Rev 5:5 And one of the elders says unto me (John), weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to lose the seven seals thereof.
9. Jer 31:16 Thus says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

Those Following having no Hope-See Judas Covenant paper

1. 1Co 15:29 Else what shall they (rejectors) do which are baptized for the dead (grave), if the dead (grave) rise not at all? why are they (rejectors) then baptized for the dead?
2. Isa 28:15 Because you (rejectors) have said, we (rejectors) have made a covenant with death, and with hell (Rev 6:8) are we at agreement (2Cor 6:16-17); when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us (rejectors): for we have made lies (Isa 30:10 John 8:44) our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
3. Mat 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, Mat 26:15 And said unto them (chief priests), what will you (chief priests) give me (Judas), and I (Judas) will deliver him (Jesus) unto you (chief priests)? And they (chief priests) covenanted with him (Judas) for thirty pieces of silver. Mat 26:16 And from that time he (Judas) sought opportunity to betray him (Jesus).

• THE FIVE STEP PROCESS OF THE Covenant OF JUDAS-DENOMINATIONALISM

1. Mat 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
2. Mat 26:15 And said unto them, what will you give me, and I will deliver him (Jesus) you?
3. And they (chief priests) covenanted with him (Judas) for thirty pieces of silver (money$$$$$$$$$$$$$).
4. Mat 26:16 From that time he (Judas) sought opportunity to betray him (Jesus).

1. Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator (Matt 27:5). Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives. See two covenant paper

1. Matt 15:14 blind leading the blind
2. Gal 5:4 Cross of Christ is of no effect
3. 1Cor 1:18 preaching of the cross to them that perish foolishness
4. Prov 21:16 the congregation of the dead

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Th 4:14 For if we (Christians) believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them (Christians in graves) also which sleep (2Cor 1:22 Eph 1:13 Eph 4:30) in Jesus will God bring with him. John 11:11-15

Jesus Rose from the Dead Matt 27:51-53 Luke 16:19-31

1. Isa 26:19 Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
2. Rom 8:10-11 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwell (Act 7:48 Acts 17:24 2Cor 6:16-17) in you.
3. 1Co 15:20-23 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. 1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming (Rev 1:7).
4. 2Co 4:13-16 We (Christians) having the same spirit of faith Heb 11:1), according as it is written (Psa 116:10 Pro 21:28), I (Paul) believed, and therefore have I spoken; we (Christians) also believe, and therefore speak (Rom 10:9-10); 2Co 4:14 Knowing that he (God) which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us (Christians) also by Jesus, and shall present us with you (Saints at Corinth). 2Co 4:15 For all things are for your (Christians) sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 2Co 4:16 For which cause we (Christians) faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day (Rom 12:1-2 Titus 3:5).
5. Rev 1:18 I (Jesus) am he that lives (Matt 27:51-53), and was dead (John 19:30); and, behold, I (Jesus) am alive for evermore (Rev 21:1-2), Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Isa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

1. 1Co 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day (Rev 1:7) shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work (Titus 3:5) of what sort it is.
2. Joh 11:11-15 These things said he: and after that he says unto them, our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I (Jesus) go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Joh 11:12 Then said his (Jesus) disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Joh 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spoke of his death: but they (disciples) thought that he (Jesus) had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Joh 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. Joh 11:15 And I (Jesus) am glad for your (disciples) sakes that I (Jesus) was not there, to the intent you (disciples) may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him (Lazarus).
3. Mat 24:31 And he (God) shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his (God) elect (1Pet 1:2 Rom 8:33) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

6. 1Th 4:17 Then we (Christians) which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (Christians from graves) in the clouds (Rev 1:1), to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we (Christians) ever be with the Lord.

By the Word of the Lord

2. 1Ki 13:9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that you came.
3. 1Ki 13:17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, you shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came. 1Ki 13:18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as you are; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
