Matthew Week 133

Matthew Week 133

 

Matthew 23:25-28 ESV

 

25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

 

27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

 

 

 

Hebrews 10:14 ESV

 

14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

 

 

 

Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV

 

24 let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

 

 

 

Hebrews 10:32-39 ESV

 

32 But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.

 

 

 

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For,

 

“Yet a little while,

 

and the coming one will come and will not delay;

 

38 but my righteous one shall live by faith,

 

and if he shrinks back,

 

my soul has no pleasure in him.”

 

39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

 

 

 

1 Corinthians 9:26-27 NASB 95

 

26 Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; 27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

 

 

 

 

Numbers 19:16 ESV

 

16 Whoever in the open field touches someone who was killed with a sword or who died naturally, or touches a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

 

 

 

1 Samuel 16:6-7 NASB95

 

6 When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

 

 

 

Isaiah 29:13 NASB95

 

Then the Lord said,

 

“Because this people draw near with their words

 

And honor Me with their lip service,

 

But they remove their hearts far from Me,

 

And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,

 

 

 

Isaiah 29:15 NASB95

 

Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord,

 

And whose deeds are done in a dark place,

 

And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”

 

 

 

Psalm 51:6 NASB95

 

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,

 

And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.

 

 

 

Psalm 51:10 NASB95

 

Create in me a clean heart, O God,

 

And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
