Paul's Highlights
Paul
highlighted Matthew 15:3-6 NLT
Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God? For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition.

Paul
highlighted Luke 17:7-10 NLT
In the same way, when you obey me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’” “When a servant comes in from plowing or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’? No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’ And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not.

Paul
highlighted Acts 2:39 NLT
This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.”
Jan 9
Paul
highlighted Acts 2:38 NLT
Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Jan 9
Paul
highlighted Colossians 2:14-17 NLT
He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Paul
highlighted John 13:21-30 NASB
When Jesus had said this, He abecame troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that bone of you will betray Me."The disciples began looking at one another, aat a loss to know of which one He was speaking.There was reclining on aJesus' bosom one of His disciples, bwhom Jesus loved.So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking."He, aleaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, athe son of Simon Iscariot.After the morsel, aSatan then bentered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.For some were supposing, because Judas ahad the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of bfor the feast"; or else, that he should cgive something to the poor.So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and ait was night.

Paul
highlighted John 21:20-25 NASB
Peter, turning around, saw the adisciple whom Jesus loved following them; the one who also had bleaned back on His bosom at the supper and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"So Peter seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?"Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain auntil I come, what is that to you? You bfollow Me!"Therefore this saying went out among athe brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain buntil I come, what is that to you?"This is the disciple who ais testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.And there are also amany other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
Nov 10
Paul
highlighted 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 NLT
But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. The husband should fulfill his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband’s needs. The wife gives authority over her body to her husband, and the husband gives authority over his body to his wife. Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan won’t be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Paul
highlighted Proverbs 23:13-14 NLT
Don’t fail to discipline your children. The rod of punishment won’t kill them. Physical discipline may well save them from death.
May 12
Paul
highlighted Isaiah 59:1-4 NLT
Listen! The LORD’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your fingers are filthy with sin. Your lips are full of lies, and your mouth spews corruption. No one cares about being fair and honest. The people’s lawsuits are based on lies. They conceive evil deeds and then give birth to sin.
Feb 15
Paul
highlighted Isaiah 58:1-14 NLT
Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon. The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes. “Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don’t pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the LORD’s holy day. Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day, and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly. Then the LORD will be your delight. I will give you great honor and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob. I, the LORD, have spoken!” “Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don’t be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! Yet they act so pious! They come to the Temple every day and seem delighted to learn all about me. They act like a righteous nation that would never abandon the laws of its God. They ask me to take action on their behalf, pretending they want to be near me. ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say. ‘Why aren’t you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don’t even notice it!’ “I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers. What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me. You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting? Do you really think this will please the LORD? “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. “Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind. Then when you call, the LORD will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply. “Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!

Paul
highlighted Isaiah 45:5-14 NLT
How terrible it would be if a newborn baby said to its father, ‘Why was I born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘Why did you make me this way?’” This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel and your Creator: “Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands? I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command. I will raise up Cyrus to fulfill my righteous purpose, and I will guide his actions. He will restore my city and free my captive people— without seeking a reward! I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!” This is what the LORD says: “You will rule the Egyptians, the Ethiopians, and the Sabeans. They will come to you with all their merchandise, and it will all be yours. They will follow you as prisoners in chains. They will fall to their knees in front of you and say, ‘God is with you, and he is the only God. There is no other.’” I am the LORD; there is no other God. I have equipped you for battle, though you don’t even know me, so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the LORD, and there is no other. I create the light and make the darkness. I send good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things. “Open up, O heavens, and pour out your righteousness. Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together. I, the LORD, created them. “What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, ‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’ Does the pot exclaim, ‘How clumsy can you be?’

Childish leaders oppress my people, and women rule over them. O my people, your leaders mislead you; they send you down the wrong road.
Oct 24
Paul
highlighted 1 Peter 2:19-20 NLT
For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment. Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.
Sep 11
Paul
highlighted 1 Peter 2:21-23 NLT
For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.

Paul
highlighted 1 Peter 2:16 NLT
