Mark 16:15 Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation… 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8 …when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Galatians 1:6-9 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.

Ephesians 3:11 This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord… Ephesians 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

Isaiah 6:3 And one called to another and said: “ Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Revelation 4:8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “ Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

Leviticus 20:26 You shall be holy to me, for I the LORD am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine. 1 Peter 1:13-16 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “ You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

1 John 3:4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

Genesis 3:6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.

James 1:14-15 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Ezekiel 18:20 The soul who sins shall die. 2 Peter 2:4-6 …Please turn there…

Ezekiel 33:11 …I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live… Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God[!] GOD

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.

James 2:14 Can that faith [without works] save him? James 2:19 Even the demons believe—and shudder! James 2:14-26 …please turn there…
