The Bible Proverbs 22 Vs. The Big Beautiful Bill

  7  The rich rule over the poor,      and the borrower is slave to the lender. 8  Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity,      and the rod they wield in fury will be broken. 9  The generous will themselves be blessed,      for they share their food with the poor. 16  One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth      and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty. 22  Do not exploit the poor because they are poor      and do not crush the needy in court, 23  for the  Lord  will take up their case      and will exact life for life. 22  Do not exploit the poor because they are poor      and do not crush the needy in court, 23  for the  Lord  will take up their case      and will exact life for life.

Covenant Theology in Outline Form 18: Transfiguration & Triumph

    The Transfiguration 28  Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.   29  And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white.   30  And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah,   31  who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, [ b ]  which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.   32  Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him.   33  And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said.   34  As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were a...

The DAY Of THE LORD

1 Thessalonians  5  Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you.   2  For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.   3  While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.   4  But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.   5  For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.   6  So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.   7  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.   8  But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith ...

Romans 8: Christ Our.Victory

  8  There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.   2  For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.   3  For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,   4  in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.   5  For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.   6  For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.   7  For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for...
