Luke 5:1-11 NIV (New International Version)The Calling of the First Disciples 1One day as Jesuswas standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,[a]with the people crowding around him and listening to theword of God, 2he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing

their nets. 3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a littlefrom shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down[b] thenets for a catch."

5Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. Butbecauseyou say so,I will let down the nets."

6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.7So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled bothboats so full that they began to sink.

8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am asinful man!" 9For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10andso were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.

Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." 11So they pulled theirboats up on shore, left everything and followed him.Footnotes:

Matthew 22:15-22 NIV (New International Version)Paying Taxes to Caesar 15Then the Phariseeswent out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16They sent their disciples to him along with theHerodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way ofGod in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who theyare. 17Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

18But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19Showme the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, "Whoseportrait is this? And whose inscription?"p4MT.22

18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as ithad been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."[b] 19Without weakening in his faith, he faced the factthat his body was as good as deadsince he was about a hundred years oldand that Sarah's wombwas also dead. 20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was

strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21being fully persuaded that God had power to dowhat he had promised.Footnotes:

Matthew 13:53-58 NIV (New International Version)A Prophet Without Honor 53When Jesus hadfinished these parables, he moved on from there. 54Coming to his hometown, he began teaching thepeople in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and thesemiraculous powers?" they asked. 55"Isn't this thecarpenter'sson?Isn't his mother's name Mary,and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56Aren't all his sisters with us?

19After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the righthand of God. 20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with themandconfirmedhis word bythe signs that accompanied it.

Galatians 5:16-26 NIV (New International Version)Life by the Spirit 16So I say, live by the Spirit,

and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contraryto the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.They are inconflictwith each other,so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatryand witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy;drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inheritthe kingdom of God.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to ChristJesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let uskeep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Acts 24:24-27 NIV (New International Version) 24Several days later Felix came with his wifeDrusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ

Jesus. 25As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraidand said, "That's enough for now! You may leave.When I find itconvenient,I will send for you." 26Atthe same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talkedwith him.

27When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, but because Felix wantedto grant a favor to the Jews, he left Paul in prison.

in your kingdom."

22"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them."Can you drink thecupI am goingto drink?"

"We can," they answered.23Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to

grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."24When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers.

James 1:13-15 NIV (New International Version) 13When tempted, no one should say, "God istempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is

Hebrews 6:1-2 NIV (New International Version) 1Thereforelet us leave theelementaryteachings about Christ and go on to maturity,not laying again the foundation of repentance fromacts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God, 2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, theresurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV (New International Version) 8Be self-controlled and alert. Yourenemythe devilprowlsaround like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.9Resist him, standing firm in the faith,because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

Hebrews 5:11-14 NIV (New International Version 11We have much to say about this, but it ishardtoexplainbecause you are slow to learn.12In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers,you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, notsolid food! 13Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching aboutrighteousness. 14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves todistinguish good from evil.

FLISTHebrews 11 NIV (New International Version)By Faith 1Nowfaithis being sure of what we hopefor and certain of what we do not see.2This is what the ancients were commended for.

3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen wasnot made out of what was visible. 4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith hewas commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks,even though he is dead.

5By faithEnoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found,because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was

p10 commended as one who pleased God. 6Andwithout faithit

is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists andthat he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

7By faith Noah,when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyedandwent, even though he did not know where he was going.9By faith he made his home in thepromised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who wereheirs with him of the same promise. 10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whosearchitect and builder is God.


9/45

11By faith Abraham, even though he was past ageand Sarah herself was barrenwasenabled to become a father because he[a]considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12Andso from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the skyand as countless as the sand on the seashore.

13All these people were still living by faith when they died.They did not receive the thingspromised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they werealiens and strangers on earth. 14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country

of their own. 15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunityto return. 16Instead, they were longing for a better countrya heavenly one. Therefore God is notashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

17By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.He who had receivedthe promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18even though God had said to him, "It isthrough Isaac that your offspring[b] will be reckoned."[c]19Abraham reasoned that God could raise thedead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.

20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped as he leaned

on the top of his staff.22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and

gave instructions about his bones.

23By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was noordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

24By faith Moses,when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter.25He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin fora short time. 26He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures ofEgypt,because he was looking ahead to his reward.27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king'sanger; he persevered

p11because he saw him who is invisible. 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so

that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea[d] as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried

to do so, they were drowned.30By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.31By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who

were disobedient.[e]32And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,

David, Samuel and the prophets, 33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, andgained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34quenched the fury of the flames, andescaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful inbattle and routed foreign armies. 35Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others weretortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36Some faced jeersand flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. 37They were stoned[f]; they were sawedin two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute,

persecuted and mistreated 38the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts andmountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.39These were all commended for their faith,yet none of them received what had been

promised.40God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they bemade perfect.Footnotes:

7Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him."8The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. Butjust say the

word,and my servant will be healed. 9For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. Itell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and

he does it."10When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth, I

have not found anyone in Israel with suchgreatfaith.11I say to you that many will come from the eastand the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom ofheaven. 12But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there willbe weeping and gnashing of teeth."

came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28because she thought, "If I just touch hisclothes, I will be healed." 29Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she wasfreed from her suffering.

30At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd andasked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31"You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Whotouched me?' "

32But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33Then the woman, knowing what hadhappened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34He saidto her, "Daughter,yourfaithhas healed you.Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."New International VersionBiblica

James 2:14-19 NIV (New International Version)Faith and Deeds 14What good is it, my brothers, ifa man claims to have faith but has no deeds?

have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind of sinful man[a] is death, but the mindcontrolled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7the sinful mind[b] is hostile to God. It does not submit toGod's law, nor can it do so.8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

Matthew 16:21-28 NIV (New International Version)Jesus Predicts His Death 21From that time onJesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at thehands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the thirdday be raised to life.

22Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. "Never, Lord!" he said. "This shall never happento you!"

23Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me;you donot have inmindthe things of God, but the things of men."

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and takeup his cross and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses hislife for me will find it. 26What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 27For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father'sglory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done. 28I tell youthe truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in hiskingdom."p28

James 1:19-27 NIV (New International Version)Listening and Doing 19My dear brothers, take noteof this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20for man's angerdoes not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and theevil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone wholistens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man wholooks at his face in amirror24and,after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who

looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what hehas heard, but doing ithe will be blessed in what he does.

26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, hedeceives himself and his religion is worthless. 27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure andfaultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from beingpolluted by the world.

For no one could perform themiraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him."

3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is bornagain.[a]"

4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a secondtime into his mother's womb to be born!"

5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born ofwater and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7You should not besurprised at my saying, 'You[c] must be born again.'8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear itssound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of theSpirit."

9"How can this be?" Nicodemus asked.p29

truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do notaccept our testimony. 12I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then willyou believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13No one has ever gone into heaven except the one whocame from heaventhe Son of Man.[d] 14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Sonof Man must be lifted up,
