Jesus ⇔ The Amen
Jesus ⇔ The Amen
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Jesus ⇔ Word of God
Jesus ⇔ Word of God
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

to trust in Jesus ⇔ trust in the Light
to trust in Jesus ⇔ trust in the Light
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
to trust in Jesus ⇔ trust in the Name
to trust in Jesus ⇔ trust in the Name
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
gospel of Jesus ⇔ truth
gospel of Jesus ⇔ truth
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
for the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
gospel of Jesus
gospel of Jesus
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
to trust in Jesus
to trust in Jesus
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
And many more believed because of his own word;
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
And many believed on him there.
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
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.
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
