Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.  KJV ( I celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter during worship and feasts.  I worship Him daily)

THEREFORE, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.   I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.

And I intreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 

Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say, Rejoice.  Let your moderation be known unto all men.  The Lord is at hand.   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known unto God.  

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.   Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Those things, which ye have learned, and received, and have heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.   But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.   I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.  Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 

For even in Thessaloni-caye sent once and again unto my necessity.   Not because I desire a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.  But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever.   Amen.   Salute every saint in Christ Jesus.   The brethren which are with me greet you.  All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  

THIS second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandments of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?

For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.   For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are gone now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement and perdition of the ungodly men.  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   Wherefore beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.   And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.  But, grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.  Amen.  

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: and the people whom the he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 

The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?  When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. KJV 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️ #JesusisLord #Faith #GodPutsOurTearsInABottle #Godisforus

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.  Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gaits. KJV #Proverbs31wife #godlybeauty #christianliving
