2 Timothy 3:15-17  ¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.   ¹⁶ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:   ¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

1 Peter 1:23-25  ²³Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.    ²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:   ²⁵ But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Hebrews 4:12  ¹² For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

2. There is one true Godhead . . .

Matthew 28:19  ¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

1 John 5:7  ⁷For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Isaiah 9:6  ⁶For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 1:1  ¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14  ¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

3. Man was created in God's image . . .

Genesis 1:26-31  ²⁶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.   ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.   ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.   ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.   ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.   ³¹ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 3:1-7 ¹ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?   ² And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:   ³ But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.   ⁴ And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:   ⁵ For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.   ⁶ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.   ⁷ And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Romans 5:12-21 ¹² Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:   ¹³ (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.   ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.   ¹⁵ But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.   ¹⁶ And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.   ¹⁷ For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)   ¹⁸ Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.   ¹⁹ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.   ²⁰ Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:   ²¹ That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

4. Salvation of Man
a. Man's only hope of redemption . . .

Psalms 103:3  ³Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Romans 3:24  ²⁴Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 10:8-10  ⁸ But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;   ⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.   ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Ephesians 2:8   ⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

b. The inward evidence . . .

Romans 8:16   ¹⁶The Spirit itself bearth witness with our spirit; that we are the children of God.

1 John 3:23   ²³And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

John 13:35   ³⁵By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

c. Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ . . .

Romans 10:9-10   ⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.   ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Romans 14:10-12   ¹⁰But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.   ¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.   ¹² So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

2 Corinthians 5:10   ¹⁰For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Ephisians 2:8-9   ⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:   ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5-7   ⁵Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;   ⁶ Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;   ⁷ That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

James 2:18   ¹⁸Yea, 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.

5. Baptism in water . . .

Matthew 28:19   ¹⁹Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Acts 10:47-48   ⁴⁷Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?   ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Romans 6:4   ⁴Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

6. The celebration of the Lord's Supper . . .

1 Corinthians 11:24-30  ³⁰ And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.   ²⁵ After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.   ²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.   ²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.   ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.   ²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.   ³⁰ For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

7. All believers are entitled to . . .

Luke 24:49   ⁴⁹And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Acts 1:4-8   ⁴And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.   ⁵ For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.   ⁶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?   ⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.   ⁸ But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 10:44-46   ⁴⁴While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.   ⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.   ⁴⁶ For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

Acts 11:14-16   ¹⁴Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.   ¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.   ¹⁶ Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Acts 15:7-9   ⁷And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.   ⁸ And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;   ⁹ And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

1 Corinthians 12:1-31   ¹Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.   ² Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.   ³ Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.   ⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.   ⁵ And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.   ⁶ And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.   ⁷ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.   ⁸ For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;   ⁹ To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;   ¹⁰ To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:   ¹¹ But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.   ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.   ¹³ For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.   ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many.   ¹⁵ If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?   ¹⁶ And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?   ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?   ¹⁸ But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.   ¹⁹ And if they were all one member, where were the body?   ²⁰ But now are they many members, yet but one body.   ²¹ And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.   ²² Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:   ²³ And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.   ²⁴ For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:   ²⁵ That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.   ²⁶ And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.   ²⁷ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.   ²⁸ And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.   ²⁹ Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?   ³⁰ Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?   ³¹ But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

8. The evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit . . .

Acts 2:4   ⁴And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 10:44-46   ⁴⁴While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.   ⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.   ⁴⁶ For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

Acts 19:2   ²He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Acts 19:6   ⁶And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Acts 1:8   ⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

9. The Church is the Body of Christ . . .

Ephesians 1:22   ²²And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Ephesians 2:19-22   ¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;   ²⁰ And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;   ²¹ In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:   ²² In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Hebrews 12:23   ²³To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

10. Total Prosperity
a. Spiritual

John 3:3   ³Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:11   ¹¹Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21   ¹⁷Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.   ¹⁸ And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;   ¹⁹ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.   ²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.   ²¹ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Romans 10:9-10   ⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.   ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

b. Mental

2 Timothy 1:7   ⁷For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Romans 12:2   ²And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Isaiah 26:3   ³Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

c. Physical

Isaih 53:4-5   ⁴Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.   ⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Matthew 8:17   ¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

1 Peter 2:24   ²⁴Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

d. Financial

3 John 1:2   ²Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Malachi 3:10-11  ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.   ¹¹ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

Luke 6:38   ³⁸Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

2 Corinthians 9:6-10  ⁶ But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.   ⁷ Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.   ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:   ⁹ (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.   ¹⁰ Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

Deuteronomy 28:1-14  ¹ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:   ² And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.   ³ Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.   ⁴ Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.   ⁵ Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.   ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.   ⁷ The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.   ⁸ The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.   ⁹ The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.   ¹⁰ And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.   ¹¹ And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.   ¹² The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.   ¹³ And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:   ¹⁴ And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

e. Social

Proverbs 3:4   ⁴So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

11. Blessed Hope . . .

1 Corinthians 15:51-52  ⁵¹ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,   ⁵² In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17  ¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   ¹⁷ Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

2 Thessalonians 2:1  ¹ Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

12. Those who have not accepted . . .

Revelation 19:20  ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 20:10-15  ¹⁰ And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.   ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.   ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.   ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.   ¹⁴ And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.   ¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

13. The Millennial Reign of Jesus . . .

Romans 11:25  ²⁵ For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Romans 11:27  ²⁷ For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

2 Thessalonians 1:7  ⁷ And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

Revelation 19:11-16  ¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.   ¹² His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.   ¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.   ¹⁴ And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.   ¹⁵ And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.   ¹⁶ And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Revelation 20:1-7  ¹ And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.   2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,   ³ And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.   ⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.   ⁵ But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.   ⁶ Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.   ⁷ And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Revelation 21  ¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   ² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   ³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.   ⁴ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.   ⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.   ⁶ And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.   ⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.   ⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.   ⁹ And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.   ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,   ¹¹ Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;   ¹² And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:   ¹³ On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.   ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.   ¹⁵ And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.   ¹⁶ And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.   ¹⁷ And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.   ¹⁸ And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.   ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;   ²⁰ The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.   ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.   ²² And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.   ²³ And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.   ²⁴ And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.   ²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.   ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.   ²⁷ And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
