For aif God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and bcommitted them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;and did not spare athe ancient world, but preserved bNoah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a cflood upon the world of the ungodly;and if He acondemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an bexample to those who would clive ungodly lives thereafter;and if He arescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the bsensual conduct of cunprincipled men

highlighted John 3:17-21 NASB

"For God adid not send the Son into the world bto judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."aHe who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of bthe only begotten Son of God."This is the judgment, that athe Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for btheir deeds were evil."aFor everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."But he who apractices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of awater and the Spirit he cannot enter into bthe kingdom of God."aThat which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'"aThe wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Behold, the Lord alays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.And the people will be like the priest, the servant like his master, the maid like her mistress, the buyer like the seller, the lender like the borrower, the acreditor like the debtor.The earth will be completely laid waste and completely despoiled, for the Lord has spoken this word.The aearth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the bexalted of the people of the earth fade away.The earth is also apolluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, bbroke the everlasting covenant.Therefore, a acurse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the binhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.The anew wine mourns, The vine decays, All the merry-hearted sigh.The agaiety of tambourines ceases, The noise of revelers stops, The gaiety of the harp ceases.They do not drink wine with song; aStrong drink is bbitter to those who drink it.

Desolation is left in the city And the agate is battered to ruins.For athus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, As the shaking of an olive tree, As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.aThey raise their voices, they shout for joy; They cry out from the west concerning the majesty of the Lord.Therefore aglorify the Lord in the east, The bname of the Lord, the God of Israel, In the ccoastlands of the sea.From the aends of the earth we hear songs, "bGlory to the Righteous One," But I say, "cWoe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me! The dtreacherous deal treacherously, And the treacherous deal very treacherously."aTerror and pit and snare Confront you, O inhabitant of the earth.Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit, And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare; For the awindows above are opened, and the bfoundations of the earth shake.aThe earth is broken asunder, The earth is bsplit through, The earth is shaken violently.The earth areels to and fro like a drunkard And it totters like a shack, For its btransgression is heavy upon it, And it will fall, cnever to rise again.So it will happen in that day, That the Lord will apunish the host of heaven on high, And the bkings of the earth on earth.

aAND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTER'S FIELD, AS THE LORD DIRECTED ME."aNow Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the bKing of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "cIt is as you say."And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, aHe did not answer.Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"And aHe did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.aNow at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus awho is called Christ?"For he knew that because of envy they had handed Him over.aWhile he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that brighteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly cin a dream because of Him."aNow when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to aask for Barabbas and to put Jesus to death.But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus awho is called Christ?" They all said, "Crucify Him!"And he said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they kept shouting all the more, saying, "Crucify Him!"When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that aa riot was starting, he took water and bwashed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of cthis Man's blood; dsee to that yourselves."and they bound Him, and led Him away and adelivered Him to bPilate the governor.Then when aJudas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned bthe thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? aSee to that yourself!"And he threw the pieces of silver into athe temple sanctuary and departed; and bhe went away and hanged himself.The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.aFor this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "aAND THEY TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER, THE PRICE OF THE ONE WHOSE PRICE HAD BEEN SET by the sons of Israel;

Most gladly, therefore, I will rather bboast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
