Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together. (niv)

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. (niv)

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. (niv)

We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things.For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (niv)

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. (niv)

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, (niv)

and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. (niv)

You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. (niv)

and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (niv)

I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. (niv)

Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. (niv)

Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, (niv)

My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises. (niv)

He said to them,“ This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” (niv)

But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (niv)

let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— (niv)

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. (niv)

but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. (niv)

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. (niv)

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. (niv)

I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. (niv)

The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. (niv)

So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.” (niv)

I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine? (niv)

Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. (niv)

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, (niv)

Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. (niv)

When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. (niv)

Philip found Nathanael and told him,“ We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote— Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”“ Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.“ Come and see,” said Philip.When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him,“ Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”“ How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered,“ I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”Then Nathanael declared,“ Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.” (niv)

They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. (niv)

“ Abraham replied,‘ They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ (niv)
