Bible verses about "theology" | MKJV

⁸ For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, ⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast.

¹ Therefore, having left the discourse of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to full growth, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, ² of the baptisms, of doctrine, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. ³ And this we will do, if God permits. ⁴ For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the world to come, ⁶ and who have fallen away; it is impossible, I say, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify the Son of God afresh to themselves and put Him to an open shame. ⁷ (For the earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth plants fit for those by whom it is dressed, receives blessing from God. ⁸ But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected and is a curse, whose end is to be burned.) ⁹ But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you and things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this way. ¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. ¹¹ And we desire that each one of you show the same eagerness to the full assurance of hope to the end, ¹² that you be not slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. ¹³ For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself, ¹⁴ saying, "Surely in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply you." ¹⁵ And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. ¹⁶ For men truly swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. ¹⁷ In this way desiring to declare more fully to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, God interposed by an oath, ¹⁸ so that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us, ¹⁹ which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil, ²⁰ where the Forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. ⁴ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. ⁶ There was a man sent from God; his name was John. ⁷ This one came as a witness, to bear witness concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him. ⁸ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. ⁹ He was the true Light; He enlightens every man coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him. ¹¹ He came to His own, and His own received Him not. ¹² But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name, ¹³ who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God. ¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.

³ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
