Bible verses about "lost" | Living_Oracles

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

⁹ The Lord does not delay his promise in the manner some account delaying; but he exercises long-suffering toward us, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should come to reformation.

²³ Jesus answering, said to him, If a man love me, he will observe my word; and my Father will love him; and we will come to him, and dwell with him. ²⁴ He who loves me not, disregards my words; yet the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's, who sent me. ²⁵ I tell you these things, while I remain with you. ²⁶ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I have told you. ²⁷ Peace I leave you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Be not disheartened; be not intimidated. ²⁸ You have heard me say, I go away, and will return to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice that I go to the Father; because my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ This I tell you now, before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe. ³⁰ I shall not, henceforth, have much conversation with you; for the prince of the world is coming, though he will find nothing in me; ³¹ but this must be that the world may know that I love the Father, and do whatsoever he commands me. Arise, let us go hence.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. ² Every barren branch in me, he lops off; every fruitful branch he cleans by pruning, to render it more fruitful. ³ As for you, you are already clean, through the instructions I have given 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, no more can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in me, and in whom I abide, produces much fruit; for, severed from me, you can do nothing. ⁶ If any man abide not in me, he is cast forth like withered branches, which are gathered for fuel, and burnt. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you may ask what you will, and it shall be granted you. ⁸ In this is my Father glorified, that you produce much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. ⁹ As the Father loves me, so do I love you: continue in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall continue in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love. ¹¹ I give you these admonitions, that I may continue to have joy in you, and that your joy may be complete. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I love you. ¹³ No man has greater love than this, to lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his master will do: but I name you friends; for whatever I have learned from my Father, I impart to you. ¹⁶ It is not you who have chosen me; but it is I who have chosen you, and ordained you to go and bear fruit: fruit which will prove permanent, that the Father may give you whatsoever you shall ask him in my name. ¹⁷ This I command you, that you love one another.

⁸ For by favor you are saved through faith; and this salvation not by yourselves; it is the gift of God- ⁹ not by works, that no one may boast.
