Stand fast in the
Faith
2 Cor 13:4-5
(KJV)
{Jesus Christ}, For though he
was crucified through weakness,
yet he liveth by the power of
God.
For we also are weak in
him,
but we shall live with him
by the power of God toward you.
{5} Examine yourselves, whether ye
be in the faith; prove your own
selves.
Know ye not your own selves, how
that Jesus Christ is in you,
except ye be
reprobates? Acts 14:21-22
(KJV)
And when they had preached the
gospel to that city, and had taught many,
they returned again to Lystra, and
to Iconium, and Antioch,
{22} Confirming the souls
of the disciples,
and exhorting them to
continue in the faith,
and that we must through much
tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Acts 16:4-5
(KJV)
And as they went through the
cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep,
that were ordained of the apostles
and elders which were at Jerusalem.
{5} And so were the
churches established in the faith,
and increased in number
daily.
Rom 13:11-14
(KJV)
And that, knowing the time, that
now it is high time to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed.
{12} The night is far
spent, the day is at hand:
let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour of
light.
{13} Let us walk
honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness,
not in chambering
(Grk=illicit sex) and
wantonness, not in strife and envying.
{14} But put ye on the Lord
Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the
flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
1 Cor 16:13-14
(KJV)
Watch ye, stand fast in the
faith,
quit you{Grk=conduct
yourselves} like men, be strong.
{14} Let all your things be done
with charity.
Col 1:20-23
(KJV)
And, {Christ}, having made peace
through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things
unto himself; by him,
I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
{21} And you, that were
sometime alienated
and enemies in your mind by
wicked works,
yet now hath he reconciled
{22} In the body of his
flesh through death,
to present you holy and
unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
{23} If ye continue in the
faith grounded and settled,
and be not moved away from
the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard,
and which was preached to
every creature which is under heaven;
whereof I Paul am made a
minister;
Col 2:6-10
(KJV)
As ye have therefore received
Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
{7} Rooted and built up in
him,
and stablished in the faith,
as ye have been taught,
abounding therein with
thanksgiving.
{8} Beware lest any man
spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after
the rudiments of the world,
and not after
Christ.
{9} For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
{10} And ye are
complete in him,
which is the head of all
principality and power:
1 Tim 1:4-7
(KJV)
Neither give heed to
fables{Grk=mysterious teachings} and endless genealogies,
which minister questions,
rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
{5} Now the end of the
commandment is charity out of a pure heart,
and of a good conscience,
and of faith unfeigned:
{6} From which some having
swerved
have turned aside unto vain
jangling{Grk=profitless babbling};
{7} Desiring to be
teachers of the law;
understanding neither what they
say, nor whereof they affirm.
Titus 1:9-16
(KJV)
Holding fast the faithful word as
he hath been taught,
that he may be able by sound
doctrine
both to exhort and to convince the
gainsayers{Grk=opposers}.
{10} For there are many
unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
specially they of the
circumcision:
{11} Whose mouths must be
stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought
not,
for filthy
lucre's{Grk=shameful profitting's} sake.
{12} One of themselves, even
a prophet of their own, said,
The Cretians are alway
liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
{13} This witness is
true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in
the faith;
{14} Not giving heed to
Jewish fables{Grk=myths},
and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth.
{15} Unto the pure
all things are pure:
but unto them that are
defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure;
but even their mind and
conscience is defiled.
{16} They profess that they
know God;
but in works they deny
him,
being abominable, and
disobedient,
and unto every good work
reprobate{Grk=depraved,ungodly}.
{Titus 2:1} But speak thou
the things which become sound doctrine:
1 Pet 5:6-11
(KJV)
Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due
time:
{7} Casting all your care
upon him; for he careth for you.
{8} Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may
devour:
{9} Whom resist
stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.
{10} But the God of all
grace,
who hath called us unto his
eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered
a while, make you perfect,
stablish, strengthen, settle
you.
{11} To him be
glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
