1Chr.22.8

But GOD prevented me, saying, "You've killed too many people, fought too many wars. You are not the one to honor me by building a sanctuary--you've been responsible for too much killing, too much bloodshed.

1Chr.22.8

But this word of the LORD came to me: 'You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

1Chr.22.8

but the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.

1Chr.22.8

"But the LORD said to me, `You have killed many men in the great battles you have fought. And since you have shed so much blood before me, you will not be the one to build a Temple to honor my name.

1Chr.22.9

But you are going to have a son and he will be a quiet and peaceful man, and I will calm his enemies down on all sides. His very name will speak peace--that is, Solomon, which means Peace--and I'll give peace and rest under his rule.

1Chr.22.9

1Chr.22.19

your part is to give yourselves, heart and soul, to praying to your GOD. So get moving--build the sacred house of worship to GOD! Then bring the Chest of the Covenant of GOD and all the holy furnishings for the worship of God into the sanctuary built in honor of GOD."

1Chr.22.19

Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God. Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD."

1Chr.23.30

They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the evening

1Chr.23.30

to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

1Chr.23.30

And each morning and evening they stood before the LORD to sing songs of thanks and praise to him.

1Chr.23.31

and at the service of Whole-Burnt-Offerings to GOD on Sabbath, at New Moons, and at all festivals. They were on regular duty to serve GOD according to their assignment and the required number.

1Chr.23.31

and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on Sabbaths and at New Moon festivals and at appointed feasts. They were to serve before the LORD regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.

1Chr.23.31

and at every presentation of a burnt offering to the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the set feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the LORD;

1Chr.23.31

They assisted with the burnt offerings that were presented to the LORD on Sabbath days, at new moon celebrations, and at all the appointed festivals. The proper number of Levites served in the LORD's presence at all times, following all the procedures they had been given.

1Chr.23.32

In short, the Levites, with the sons of Aaron as their companions in the ministry of holy worship, were responsible for everything that had to do with worship: the place and times and ordering of worship.

1Chr.23.32

And so the Levites carried out their responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting, for the Holy Place and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, for the service of the temple of the LORD.

1Chr.23.32

and that they should attend to the needs of the tabernacle of meeting, the needs of the holy place, and the needs of the sons of Aaron their brethren in the work of the house of the LORD.

1Chr.23.32

And so, under the supervision of the priests, the Levites watched over the Tabernacle and the Temple and faithfully carried out their duties of service at the house of the LORD.

1Cor.2.6

We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it's not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high-priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so.

1Cor.2.6

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

1Cor.2.6

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

1Cor.2.6

Yet when I am among mature Christians, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world, and not the kind that appeals to the rulers of this world, who are being brought to nothing.

1Cor.2.7

God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don't find it lying around on the surface. It's not the latest message, but more like the oldest--what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene.

1Cor.2.7

No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

1Cor.2.7

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

1Cor.2.7

No, the wisdom we speak of is the secret wisdom of God, which was hidden in former times, though he made it for our benefit before the world began.

1Cor.2.8

The experts of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn't have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross.

1Cor.2.8

None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1Cor.2.8

which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1Cor.2.8

But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would never have crucified our glorious Lord.

1Cor.2.9

That's why we have this Scripture text: No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, Never so much as imagined anything quite like it--What God has arranged for those who love him.

1Cor.2.9

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--

1Cor.2.9

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

1Cor.2.9

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."

1Cor.2.10

But you've seen and heard it because God by his Spirit has brought it all out into the open before you. The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along.

1Cor.2.10

but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.

1Cor.2.10

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

1Cor.2.10

But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God's deep secrets.

1Cor.2.11

Who ever knows what you're thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God--except that he not only knows what he's thinking,

1Cor.2.11

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

1Cor.2.11

For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

1Cor.2.11

No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit.

1Cor.2.12

but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us.

1Cor.2.12

We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

1Cor.2.12

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

1Cor.2.12

And God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world's spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.

1Cor.2.13

We don't have to rely on the world's guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we're passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way.

1Cor.2.13

This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

1Cor.2.13

These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1Cor.2.13

When we tell you this, we do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths.

1Cor.2.14

The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can't receive the gifts of God's Spirit. There's no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit--God's Spirit and our spirits in open communion.

1Cor.2.14

The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1Cor.2.14

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1Cor.2.14

But people who aren't Christians can't understand these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them because only those who have the Spirit can understand what the Spirit means.

1Cor.2.15

Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God's Spirit is doing, and can't be judged by unspiritual critics.

1Cor.2.15

The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:

1Cor.2.15

But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

1Cor.2.15

We who have the Spirit understand these things, but others can't understand us at all.

1Cor.2.16

Isaiah's question, "Is there anyone around who knows God's Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?" has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ's Spirit. [JC]

1Cor.2.16

"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

1Cor.2.16

For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

1Cor.2.16

How could they? For, "Who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who can give him counsel?" But we can understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.

In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

They will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.

Ps.91.13

You'll walk unharmed among lions and snakes, and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

Ps.91.13

You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

Ps.91.13

You will trample down lions and poisonous snakes; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

Ps.91.14

"If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says GOD, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me.

Ps.91.14

"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

Ps.91.14

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

Ps.91.14

The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

Ps.91.15

Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.

Ps.91.15

He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

Ps.91.15

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

Ps.91.15

When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.

Ps.91.16

I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!" A Sabbath song

Ps.91.16

With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Ps.91.16

With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."

Ps.91.16

I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation."
