Let's begin with this one ...

John 13:16-20

In all truth I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, no messenger is greater than the one who sent him.
'Now that you know this, blessed are you if you behave accordingly.
I am not speaking about all of you: I know the ones I have chosen; but what scripture says must be fulfilled: 'He who shares my table takes advantage of me.
I tell you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe that I am He.
In all truth I tell you, whoever welcomes the one I send, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.'
 
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said,
Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the
moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Genesis 37:9
 
Revelations 12: 1-5

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was pregnant, and in labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet.
Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born.
The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne,
 
Isaiah 52:7

How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
who publishes salvation,
who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
 
Acts 13:44-52

The next Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the word of God.
When they saw the crowds, the Jews, filled with jealousy, used blasphemies to contradict everything Paul said.
Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly. 'We had to proclaim the word of God to you first, but since you have rejected it, since you do not think yourselves worthy of eternal life, here and now we turn to the gentiles.
For this is what the Lord commanded us to do when he said: I have made you a light to the nations, so that my salvation may reach the remotest parts of the earth.'
It made the gentiles very happy to hear this and they gave thanks to the Lord for his message; all who were destined for eternal life became believers.
Thus the word of the Lord spread through the whole countryside.
But the Jews worked on some of the devout women of the upper classes and the leading men of the city; they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their territory.
So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went off to Iconium; but the converts were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
 
Psalms 15: 1-5

O Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may abide on your holy mountain?

The one who leads a blameless life
and does what is right, who speaks the truth from the heart

and does not slander anyone, who does not harm a friend
and does not scorn a neighbor,

Who looks with disdain on the wicked but honors those who fear the Lord,
who abides by his oath, no matter what the cost,

Who does not charge interest on a loan and refuses to accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will never fall.
 
John 14:27-31

Peace I leave with you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
You heard me say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
I shall not talk to you much longer, because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me,
but the world must recognize that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded. Come now, let us go.
 
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing
some have unwittingly entertained angels.

Hebrews 13:2
 
John 14:23-29

Jesus replied: Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him.
Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not my own: it is the word of the Father who sent me.
I have said these things to you while still with you;
but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you.
Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
You heard me say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
 
Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

-- 1 Samuel 18:27
 
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12
 
Exodus 23 : 1 - 8
“You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.
You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute.
“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.
“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute.
Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.
And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.
 
You blind guides!
You strain out a knat but swallow a camel.

Matthew 23:24

A stone that causes men to stumble.
And a rock that makes them fall.

Isaiah 8:14
 
Acts 7:55-60

But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand.
'Look! I can see heaven thrown open,' he said, 'and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.'
All the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they made a concerted rush at him,
thrust him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses put down their clothes at the feet of a young man called Saul.
As they were stoning him, Stephen said in invocation, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'
Then he knelt down and said aloud, 'Lord, do not hold this sin against them.' And with these words he fell asleep.
 
John 3:17

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
 
John 20:19-23

In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, 'Peace be with you,'
and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord,
and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.'
After saying this he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.
 
1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8
Love is patient and kind, love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand it's own way. It is not irritable and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever.
