Bible verses about "faithful" | Thomson

³¹ Therefore be not anxious, saying, What shall we eat; or, what shall we drink; or, with what shall we be clothed? ³² For about all such things the nations are solicitous: for your heavenly father knoweth that you have need of all these things. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God, and the righteousness required by him, and all those things will be superadded to you.

⁴ Love is long suffering; it aboundeth in kindness. Love is not envious. Love is not insolent: it is not puffed up. ⁵ It doth not behave itself unbecomingly. It is not self interested. It is not easily provoked. It placeth not the evil to account. ⁶ It rejoiceth not in iniquity, but shareth in the joys of truth. ⁷ It beareth all things. It believeth all things. It hopeth all things. It endureth all things patiently.

¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus, to them who are at Philippi, with overseers and deacons, ² favour be to you and peace from God our father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ I thank my God at every mention of you, ⁴ always, in ever prayer of mine for you all, making such supplication with joy, ⁵ for your contribution for the glad tidings; having from the first day till now ⁶ the same confidence, that he who hath begun a good work in you will continue completing it until the day of Jesus Christ; ⁷ as it is just for me to be thus affected towards you all, because you have me in your heart; and in my bonds and in the defence and support of the glad tidings you all continue to be fellow sharers with me of this favour. ⁸ For God be my witness how tenderly I love you all with the affection of Jesus Christ; ⁹ and this I pray that your love may abound still more and more, in knowledge and all discernment, ¹⁰ that you may prove the things which differ"that you may be sincere and inoffensive till the day of Christ, ¹¹ filled with fruits of righteousness, which are by means of Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God. ¹² Now I wish you, brethren, to know that what hath happened to me hath rather conduced to the furtherance of the ¹³ gospel; so that in the whole imperial palace, and all other places, my bonds are well known to be for Christ; ¹⁴ and a greater number of the brethren in the Lord are emboldened by my bonds to venture to speak the word with more freedom and intrepidity. ¹⁵ Some indeed proclaim the Christ out of envy and contention, but others do it out of good will ¹⁶ the former for the sake of strife proclaim the Christ not in a pure manner, thinking to add affliction to my bonds; ¹⁷ but the latter for love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. ¹⁸ What then? Still in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. At this therefore I rejoice and will rejoice. ¹⁹ For I know that this will issue in my deliverance, through your supplications and a supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ, ²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope that I shall in no wise be ashamed; but that in the most open manner, as always so now, Christ shall be magnified in my body, either by life or by death. ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²² But whether the living in flesh is for me a fruit of labour, and what I should chuse, I do not know. ²³ For I am strained between the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ which is by far the best; ²⁴ but to abide in the flesh is more needful on your account. ²⁵ And being confident of this, I know that I shall abide and continue some time with you all for your furtherance and joy in the faith; ²⁶ that by me your glorying in Christ Jesus may abound, by means of my being present with you again. ²⁷ Only conduct yourselves in a manner becoming the glad tidings of the Christ, that whether I come and see you, or if absent I may hear this of you, that you are stedfast in one spirit, and that without being in the least daunted by your opposers, you contend unanimously for the belief of the gospel, ²⁸ which is to them indeed a manifestation of destruction, but to you, of salvation. Now with respect to this from God ²⁹ because this hath been granted to you for Christ, not only to believe in him but also to suffer for him and you are engaged in the same conflict as that in which you saw me and now hear that I am engaged,

¹⁰ Be not terrified at what thou art about to suffer. Behold the devil will soon cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and ye will have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹ Now, faith is a confident expectation of things hoped for; a convincement of the mind with respect to the reality of things not seen.

¹³ No trial hath come upon you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, and will not suffer you to be tried above your strength, but will with the trial make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful, and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰ He who is faithful in very little, is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in very little, is unjust also in much.
