with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the
form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant
Moses?"
(Deu 7:9-10) "Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God
who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him

to his face.

strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done
foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars."

strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.

aright, And whose spirit was not faithful to God.
(Psa 78:37-38) For their heart was not steadfast with Him, Nor were they
faithful in His covenant. {38} But He, being full of compassion, forgave their
iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,
And did not stir up all His wrath;
(Psa 89:20-24) I have found My servant David; With My holy oil I have anointed
him, {21} With whom My hand shall be established; Also My arm shall strengthen
him. {22} The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

the word that has gone out of My lips.
(Psa 101:6-7) My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, That they may dwell

my presence.
(Psa 119:28-31) My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your
word. {29} Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me Your law graciously.

portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!" {25} The LORD is good to

many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. {10}

unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. {11} "Therefore if you have not
been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true
riches? {12} "And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who
will give you what is your own? {13} "No servant can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

(Gal 5:22-25) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, {23} gentleness, self-control. Against such

its passions and desires. {25} If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the
Spirit.
(Eph 1:1-7) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints
who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: {2} Grace to you and peace
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. {3} Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in
the heavenly places in Christ, {4} just as He chose us in Him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in
love, {5} having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the good pleasure of His will, {6} to the praise of the glory of
His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. {7} In Him we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches
of His grace
(1 Th 5:23-24) Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may
your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. {24} He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
(2 Th 3:3-5) But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from

you do and will do the things we command you. {5} Now may the Lord direct your
hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
(1 Tim 1:12-16) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He
counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, {13} although I was formerly
a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I
did it ignorantly in unbelief. {14} And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly
abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. {15} This is a faithful
saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners, of whom I am chief. {16} However, for this reason I obtained
mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern
to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

Jesus. {2} And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses,

(Heb 3:1-6) Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, {2} who
was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His
house. {3} For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. {4} For every
house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. {5} And Moses
indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those
things which would be spoken afterward, {6} but Christ as a Son over His own
house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of
the hope firm to the end.
(3 John 1:2-8) Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in
health, just as your soul prospers. {3} For I rejoiced greatly when brethren
came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.
{4} I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. {5}
Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers,
{6} who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them
forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, {7}
because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
{8} We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for
the truth.
(Rev 1:4-7) John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and
peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits
who are before His throne, {5} and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the
firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who
loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, {6} and has made us kings
and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and
ever. Amen. {7} Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him,
even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of
Him. Even so, Amen.
(Rev 2:8-11) "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, 'These things says
the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: {9} "I know your works,
tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those
who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. {10} "Do not
fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is
about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will
have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the
crown of life. {11} "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."'
(Rev 17:14) "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them,
for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are
called, chosen, and faithful."
