Bible verses about "lost" | Anderson

¹² Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a merciful disposition, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering: ¹³ bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any one have a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do you: ¹⁴ and over all these put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. ¹⁵ And let the peace of God, to which you are called in one body, rule in your hearts, and be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, by teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

⁹ The Lord does not delay concerning his promise, as some men count delay, but he is long-suffering toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him: If any one loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, while I am yet with you. ²⁶ But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I have spoken to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, and let it not be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard that I said to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I go to the Father; for my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰ I will not talk much more with you; for the prince of this world is coming, and has nothing in me. ³¹ But this takes place that the world may know that I love the Father, and even as he gave me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. ² Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Now are you pure, through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I will abide in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and such are gathered, and thrown into the fire, and burned. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and in this you will be my disciples. ⁹ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants, because the servant knows not what his master does. But I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you, that you may go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit may remain; that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you may love one another.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: ⁹ not by works, lest any one should boast.
