GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 10:16-26
16 - “Behold” Jesus told his disciples, “I am sending you out as sheep into the very midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But be warned, they’ll deliver you over to courts. They’ll scourge you in their halls. 18 You’ll be dragged before governors and kings because of me, to bear witness to them and to the nations. 19 When they deliver you over, don’t be anxious about what you will say, for it will be given to you in that hour. (It will come to you in that hour, from him) what you should say and how you should say it. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will even deliver brother over to death, and the father his child. Children will testify against parents and have them put to death, 22 You will be hated because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, go away to the next, for I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man returns. 24 A disciple isn’t above his teacher, nor is a servant above his master. 25 It’s enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebaal, how much more will they abuse those of his household.
26 But have no fear of them. For there is nothing covered that won’t be revealed, or hidden that will not be made known.

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 5:16-21 ~
16 - The free gift, through Jesus, is not the same as the fall through Adam. There’s a big difference between Adam's sin and God's gift. That one trespass led to penalty. But God's gift even though it followed many trespasses, is unto justification/acquittal. 17 For if, because of the one man, Adam’s trespass, death ruled - much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of justification reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all, so also one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners [hamartians - missing the mark] so also by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to make known the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin rules (results) in death, grace also might reign (result) in righteousness leading to lasting life through Jesus our Lord.
