SAINTS OF GOD

KJV Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

KJV Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

KJV Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

KJV Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

KJV Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

KJV Hebrews 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

KJV Hebrews 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

KJV Hebrews 11:11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

KJV Hebrews 11:12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

KJV Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

KJV Hebrews 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

KJV Hebrews 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

KJV Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

KJV Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

KJV Hebrews 11:18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

KJV Hebrews 11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

KJV Hebrews 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

KJV Hebrews 11:25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

KJV Hebrews 11:26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

KJV Hebrews 11:27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

KJV Hebrews 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

KJV Hebrews 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

KJV Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

KJV Hebrews 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

KJV Hebrews 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

KJV Hebrews 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

KJV Hebrews 11:34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

KJV Hebrews 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

KJV Hebrews 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

KJV Hebrews 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

KJV Hebrews 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

KJV Hebrews 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

KJV Hebrews 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

KJV 2 Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

KJV Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

KJV Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

KJV 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

KJV 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

KJV 1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

KJV 1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

KJV 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

KJV 1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

KJV Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

APOSTLE PAUL-NOT A MAN OF ELOQUENCE, BUT A MAN OF FAITH AND POWER

KJV 1 Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

APOSTTLE PAUL WAS A HEBREW AND A PHARISEE CAME FROM TARSUS IN CILLCIA-TRIBE OF BENJAMIN

KJV Philippians 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

STUDIED UNDER GAMALIEL

KJV Acts 22:3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

PERSECUTOR OF CHRISTIANS

KJV Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

KJV Acts 8:2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

KJV Acts 8:3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

KJV Philippians 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

CONVERTED BY JESUS CHRIST

KJV Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

KJV Acts 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

KJV Acts 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

KJV Acts 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

KJV Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

KJV Acts 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

KJV Acts 9:7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

KJV Acts 9:8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

KJV Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

KJV Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

KJV Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

KJV Acts 9:12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

KJV Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

KJV Acts 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

KJV Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

KJV Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

KJV Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

KJV Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

KJV Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

KJV Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

BEGAN HIS MISSIONS CAREER

KJV Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

KJV Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

KJV Acts 13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

BECAME AN APOSTLE

KJV Galatians 2:7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

KJV Galatians 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)

KJV Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

KJV Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

FOUNDED CHURCHES IN ASIA MINOR, GREECE AND MAYBE AS FAR AS SPAIN

KJV Romans 15:24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

KJV Romans 15:28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

HE WAS THE WRITER OF MOST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BOOKS:

ROMANS, 1,2 CORINTHIANS, GALATIANS, EPHESIANS, PHILLIPPIANS, COLOSSIANS, 1,2 THESSALONIANS, 1,2 TIMOTHY, TITUS, PHILEMON

APOSTLE PAUL WAS NOT IMPRESSIVE TO LOOK AT OR TO LISTEN TO

KJV 2 Corinthians 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

KJV 2 Corinthians 10:10 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH HIS ONE EYE

KJV Galatians 4:15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.

HE EVEN ASK THE LORD TO HEAL HIM 3 TIMES

KJV 2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

KJV 2 Corinthians 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

KJV 2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

KJV 2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

BUT HE PREACHED CHRIST IN POWER

KJV 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

KJV 1 Corinthians 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

KJV 1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

KJV 1 Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

KJV 1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

KJV 1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

KJV 1 Corinthians 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

APOSTLE PAUL WAS BEHEADED OUTSIDE OF ROME. BUT HE IS IN HEAVEN AMONG THE CLOUD OF WITNESSES CHEERING US ON.

KJV Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

KJV Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

GENESIS 1:1 NOTES

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

KJV Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

"IN THE BEGINNING" (Baresheet) IS THE TITLE TO GENESIS

In THE TORAH FROM THE PENTATEUCH THE FIRST BOOK IS CALLED BERESHEET FROM PARASHAH 1-(GENESIS)

KJV Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

(I don't think the word "IN THE BEGINNING" is a mistake)
