John 3:16: "For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life" "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God's son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever. "God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life." "Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son. God gave his Son so that every person who believes in him would not be lost, but have life forever."
Romans 3:31 "Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important." "Does this mean that we do away with the Law when we put our trust in Christ? No, not at all. It means we know the Law is important." "Does faith make the law useless? Not at all! We agree with the law." "So do we destroy the law by following the way of faith? No! Faith causes us to be what the law truly wants."
2 Timothy 3:16: "Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:" "All the Holy Writing are God-given and are made alive by Him. Man is helped when he is taught God's World. It shows what is wrong. It changes the way of a man's life. It shows him how to be right with God." "God has breathed life into all of Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right." "All Scripture is given by God. And all Scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people the things that are wrong in their lives. It is useful for correcting faults, and teaching us how to live right."
Revelation 14:6,7 "And I saw another angel in flight between heaven and earth, having eternal good news to give to those who are on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and language and people, Saying with a loud voice, Have fear of God and give him glory; because the hour of his judging is come; and give worship to him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water." "Then I saw another angel flying in the heavens. He was carrying the Good News that lasts forever. He was preaching to every nation and to every family group and to the people of every language and to all the people of the earth. He said with a loud voice. "Honor God with love and fear. The time has come for Him to say who is guilty among men. Worship Him Who made heaven and earth and the sea and the places where water comes out of the earth." "I saw another angel. He was flying high in the air. He came to tell everyone on earth the good news that will always be true. He told it to every nation, tribe, language and people. In a loud voice he said, "Have respect for God. Give him glory. The hour has come for God to judge. Worship him who made the heavens and the earth. Worship him who made the sea and the springs of water." "Then I saw another angel flying high in the air. The angel had an eternal gospel to preach to the people who live on the earth -- to every nation, tribe, language, and race of people. The angel said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him praise. The time has come for God to judge all people. Worship God. He made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the springs of water.
