SCRIPTURES TO STUDY AND MEMORIZE

Search me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me and know my anxious thoughts, and see if there be any offensive way within me, and lead me in the way everlasting – Psalm 139:23-24

So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself – Ephesians 5:28

With what shall I come before Adonai? With what shall I bow myself before God on high? Shall I present Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves? Will Adonai be pleased with thousands of rams, with hordes of rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my belly for the sin of my soul? He has told you humanity what is good, and what Adonai is seeking from you: Only to practice justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God – Micah 6: 8

Therefore as you received Messiah Yeshua as Lord, so continue to walk in Him – rooted and built up in Him and established in your faith just as you were taught, overflowing with thankfulness. See that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men and the basic principles of the world rather than Messiah – Colossians 2:6-8

Likewise, wives, be submitted to your own husbands so that – even if some do not obey the message – by the wives’ conduct, without a word they may be won over as they observe your pure, reverent conduct. Don’t let your beauty be external – braiding the hair and wearing gold jewelry or fine clothes. Instead let it be in the hidden person of the heart, with the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is the way the holy women, who put their hope in God, used to beautify themselves long ago – being submitted to their own husbands, just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You have become her daughters by doing what is good and not fearing intimidation. In the same way, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way. Though they are weaker partners, honor them as equal heirs of the grace of life. In this way, your prayers will not be hindered – 1 Peter 3:1-7

And calling them over, Yeshua said to them, “You know those recognized as rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones play the tyrant over them. Yet it is not this way among you. But whoever wants to be great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:42-45

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Adonai and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones – Proverbs 3:7-8

Listen to wise counsel – listen to advice and accept instruction, so that in the end you may be wise. Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the counsel of Adonai will stand – Proverbs 19:20-21

Receive my instruction instead of silver and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than jewels, nothing you desire compares with her. “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and acquire knowledge with discretion” – Proverbs 8:10-12

You, however, continue in what you have learned and what you have become convinced of. For you know from whom you have learned, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to make you wise, leading to salvation through trusting in Messiah Yeshua. All Scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for restoration, and for training in righteousness, so that the person belonging to God may be capable, fully equipped for every good deed – 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Now for this very reason, making every effort, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly love; and to brotherly love, love. For if these qualities are in you and increasing, they keep you from becoming idle and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah- 2 Peter 1: 5-8

Walk now in eternal privileges: I wrote these things to you who believe in the name of Ben-Elohim, so you may know that you have eternal life. Now this is the confidence we have before Him – that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have the requests we have asked from Him – 1 John 5:13-15

And He said to them, “Because you trust so little. Amen, I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20-21

I call the heavens and the earth to witness about you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live, by loving Adonai your God, listening to His voice, and clinging to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell on the land that Adonai swore to your fathers – to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob – to give them – Deuteronomy 30:15-20

Seek treasures of Wisdom My son, if you accept My words and treasure My mitzvot within you, making your ear attentive to wisdom, inclining your heart to discernment, yes, if you call out for insight, lifting up your voice for discernment – Proverbs 2:1-3

A call to be Holy – so brace your minds for action. Keep your balance. And set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Yeshua the Messiah. Like obedient children, do not be shaped by the cravings you had formerly in your ignorance. Instead, just like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in everything you do. For it is written “Kedoshim you shall be, for I am kadosh.” – 1 Peter 1:13-16 (“Kedoshim” means to be set apart)

For through the grace given me, I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think – but to use sound judgement, as God has assigned to each person a measure of faith – Romans 12:3

Do nothing out of selfishness or conceit, but with humility consider others as more important than yourselves, looking out not only for your own interests but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves, which also was in Messiah Yeshua, who though existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God, a thing to be grasped. But He emptied Himself – taking on the form of a slave, becoming the likeness of men and being found in appearance as a man. He humbled Himself – becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross – Philippians 2:3-8

Let love be without hypocrisy – detesting what is evil, holding fast to the good. Be tenderly devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in giving honour – Romans 12:9-10

Now may the God of patience and encouragement grant you to be like-minded with one another in the manner of Messiah Yeshua, so that together with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah – Romans 15:5-7

Let no harmful word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for building others up according to the need, so that it gives grace to those who hear it. Do not grieve the Ruach Haccodesh of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness and rage and anger and quarreling and slander, along with all malice. Instead, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other just as God in Messiah also forgave you – Ephesians 4:29-32
