- And take the helmet of salvation as well as the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
- Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.
- Who then can separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?
- Indeed, the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any two-edged sword, it pierces to the point where it divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and the intentions of the heart.
- You shall not oppress the widow or the orphan. If you mistreat them and they cry out to me for help, I will surely hear their cry, and my fury will burn and I will put you to death by the sword. Your wives will be widows and your children will be orphans.
- It was not their own swords that won them the land,
nor did their own arms make them victorious;
rather, it was your right hand and your arm
and the light of your face,
because you loved them.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom. If I give away everything to feed the poor
and hand over my body to be burned,
but do not have love,
I achieve nothing.Next verse!With image
