2:9 (KJS) But we see Jesus, who was made a little
lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with
glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death
for every man.
Titu 2:11 (KJS) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men,
Matt 11:28 (KJS) Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.
002Matt 17:5 (KJS)
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and
behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
John 5:34 (KJS) But I receive not testimony from man: but these
things I say, that ye
might be saved.
003Acts 2:21 (KJS)
And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the
name of the Lord shall be saved.
Matt 7:21 (KJS) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the
will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matt 28:18 (KJS) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Colo 3:17 (KJS) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
004Mark 16:16 (KJS)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall
be
damned.
005John 10:9 (KJS) I
am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 14:6 (KJS) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
2Tim 2:10 (KJS) Therefore I endure all things for the elect's
sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ

006Matt 10:22 (KJS)

that endureth to the end shall be saved.006b
007John 8:32 (KJS)
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 17:17 (KJS) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is
truth.
Roma 10:14 (KJS) How then shall they call on him in whom they
have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they
have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Roma
10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is
written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Roma
10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith,
Lord, who hath believed our report? Roma 10:17 So then faith
[cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Roma 10:18
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into
all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
Matt 13:3 (KJS) And he spake many things unto them in parables,
saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; Matt 13:4 And when he
sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up: Matt 13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where
they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because
they had no deepness of earth: Matt 13:6 And when the sun was up,
they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered
away. Matt 13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung
up, and choked them: Matt 13:8 But other fell into good ground,
and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold,
some thirtyfold. Matt 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matt 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why
speakest thou unto them in parables? Matt 13:11 He answered and
said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Matt 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he
shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall
be taken away even that he hath. Matt 13:13 Therefore speak I to
them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they
hear not, neither do they understand. Matt 13:14 And in them is
fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye
shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see,
and shall not perceive: Matt 13:15 For this people's heart is
waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes
they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their]
eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with
[their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Matt 13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your
ears, for they hear. Matt 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That
many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those
things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear
[those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them]. Matt
13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Matt 13:19 When
any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it]
not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which
was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way
side. Matt 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places,
the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth
it; Matt 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a
while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the
word, by and by he is offended. Matt 13:22 He also that received
seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care
of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word,
and he becometh unfruitful. Matt 13:23 But he that received seed
into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth,
some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
008John 8:24 (KJS) I
said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if
ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
John 20:31 (KJS) But these are written, that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye
might have life through his name.
Hebr 11:6 (KJS) But without faith [it is] impossible to please
[him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and
[that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
009Luke 13:3 (KJS) I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish.
Acts 17:30 (KJS) And the times of this ignorance God winked at;
but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 17:31
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the
world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained;
[whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath
raised him from the dead.
Roma 2:4 (KJS) Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of
God leadeth thee to repentance?
2Cor 7:9 (KJS) Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but
that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a
godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 2Cor
7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be
repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
010Roma 10:10 (KJS)
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 8:37 (KJS) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine
heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Matt 16:16 (KJS) And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the
Christ, the Son of the living God.
011Acts 2:38 (KJS)
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 22:16 (KJS) And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the
Lord.
Gala 3:26 (KJS) For ye are all the children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus. Gala 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized
into Christ have put on Christ.
012Mark 1:4 (KJS)
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.
Matt 3:6 (KJS) And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing
their sins.
013Mark 16:16 (KJS)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
014Acts 2:38 (KJS)
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
015Acts 22:16 (KJS) And now why tarriest
thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on
the name of the Lord.
016Acts 10:33 (KJS) Immediately therefore I
sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now
therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things
that are commanded thee of God.. . . Acts 10:48 (KJS) And he
commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then
prayed they him to tarry certain days.
017Roma 6:3 (KJS)
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into his death?
Gala 3:27 (KJS) For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ.
018Roma 6:3 (KJS)
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ were baptized into his death?
Roma 6:7 (KJS) For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Roma 6:17 (KJS) But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of
sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine
which was delivered you.
0191 Pet 3:21 (KJS)
The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer
of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
020 Romans 8:33 (KJS)
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God
that justifieth.
021 Matt 1:21 (KJS) And
she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.
022 1Cor 6:11 (KJS) And
such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God.
023 Roma 5:9 (KJS) Much
more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him.
024 Roma 3:24 (KJS) Being
justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus:
025 Titus 3:5 (KJS) Not
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;
026 1Cor 15:1 (KJS)
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
stand; 1Cor 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory
what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
027 1Cor 1:21 (KJS) For
after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
028 Romans 5:1 (KJS)
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
029 1Pet 3:21 (KJS) The
like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not
the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a
good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Mark 16:16 (KJS) He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
030 Romans 6:17 (KJS) But
God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have
obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered
you. Roma 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the
servants of righteousness.
Hebr 5:8 (KJS) Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by
the things which he suffered; Hebr 5:9 And being made perfect, he
became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
031 James 2:24 (KJS) Ye
see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith
only.
Phil 2:12 (KJS) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work
out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
032 Romans 8:24 (KJS) For
we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what
a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save
yourselves from this untoward generation.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit
indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
035 James 4:7 (KJS)
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you.
036 James 4:8 (KJS) Draw
nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands,
[ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
037 1Cor 15:2 (KJS) By
which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached
unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
038 John 15:1 (KJS) I am
the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. John 15:2 Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every
[branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring
forth more fruit. John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word
which I have spoken unto you. John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in
you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide
in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:5 I
am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can
do nothing. John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth
as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast
[them] into the fire, and they are burned.
Roma 7:4 (KJS) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to
the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to
another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we
should bring forth fruit unto God.
039 1Cor 9:27 (KJS) But I
keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by
any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
040 1Cor 10:12 (KJS)
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
041 Matthew 4:1--Then was Jesus led up of
the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (4:2)
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an hungred. (4:3) And when the tempter came to him, he
said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be
made bread. (4:4) But he answered and said, It is written, Man
shall not live by bread along, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God. (4:5) Then the devil taketh him up into
the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, (4:6)
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down:
for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning
thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any
time thou dash thy foot against a stone. (4:7) Jesus said unto
him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
(4:8) Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them: (4:9) And saith unto him, All these things will I
give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. (4:10) Then
Jesus saith unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve. (4:11) Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels
came and ministered unto him.
042 1 Corinthians 10:13--There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is]
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear [it].
043 2 Peter 1:5--And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
(1:6) And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience;
and to patience godliness; (1:7) And to godliness brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
