Exodus 20:8-11 KJV
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: [10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: [11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Romans 3:
19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

Acts 16:29-34 kJV

• Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
• And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
• And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
• And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
• And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
• And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

James 2:14-20 KJV
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? [15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, [16] And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? [17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. [18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. [19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2: 21-26

• Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
• Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
• And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
• Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
• Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?
• For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Psalm 56:9-13 kJV

• When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.
• In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.
• In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
• Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
• For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

1 John 4:1-6 kJV

• Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
• Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
• And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
• Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
• They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
• We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

1 Peter 3:8-22 kJV

• Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
• Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
• For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
• Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
• For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.
• And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
• But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
• But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
• Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
• For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
• For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
• By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
• Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
• The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
• Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Hebrews 11:1-3 kJV

• Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
• For by it the elders obtained a good report.
• Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hebrews 13:6 kJV
So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!
