9. By this the children of God and
the children of the devil are
obvious: anyone who does not
practice righteousness is not of
God, nor the one who does not
love his brother.
(NASB)
10.
11.
12. But as many as received
Him, to them He gave the
right to become children
of God, even to those
who believe in His name,
13. Therefore if anyone is in
Christ, he is a new
creature; the old things
passed away; behold,
new things have come.

16. 13 “You are the salt of the earth;
but if the salt has become
tasteless, how can it be made
salty again? It is no longer good
for anything, except to be
thrown out and trampled
underfoot by men.
17. 14 “You are the light of the
world. A city set on a hill cannot
be hidden;
15 nor does anyone light a lamp
and put it under a basket, but on
the lampstand, and it gives light
to all who are in the house.
18. 16 Let your light shine before
men in such a way that they may
see your good works, and glorify
your Father who is in heaven.

20. 1 Now Naaman, captain of the
army of the king of Aram, was a
great man with his master, and
highly respected, because by
him the LORD had given victory
to Aram. The man was also a
valiant warrior, but he was a
leper.
21. 2 Now the Arameans had gone
out in bands and had taken
captive a little girl from the land
of Israel; and she waited on
Naaman’s wife.
22. 3 She said to her mistress, “I
wish that my master were with
the prophet who is in Samaria!
Then he would cure him of his
leprosy.” 4 Naaman went in and
told his master, saying, “Thus
and thus spoke the girl who is
from the land of Israel.”
23. 5 Then the king of Aram said,
“Go now, and I will send a letter
to the king of Israel.” He
departed and took with him ten
talents of silver and six thousand
shekels of gold and ten changes
of clothes.
24. 9 So Naaman came with his
horses and his chariots and
stood at the doorway of the
house of Elisha.
25. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to
him, saying, “Go and wash in the
Jordan seven times, and your
flesh will be restored to you and
you will be clean.”
26. 11 But Naaman was furious and
went away and said, “Behold, I
thought, ‘He will surely come
out to me and stand and call on
the name of the LORD his God,
and wave his hand over the
place and cure the leper.’
27. 12 Are not Abanah and Pharpar,
the rivers of Damascus, better
than all the waters of Israel?
Could I not wash in them and be
clean?” So he turned and went
away in a rage.
28. 13 Then his servants came near
and spoke to him and said, “My
father, had the prophet told you
to do some great thing, would
you not have done it? How
much more then, when he says
to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
29. 14 So he went down and dipped
himself seven times in the
Jordan, according to the word of
the man of God; and his flesh
was restored like the flesh of a
little child and he was clean.
30. 15 When he returned to the
man of God with all his
company, and came and stood
before him, he said, “Behold
now, I know that there is no God
in all the earth, but in Israel; so
please take a present from your
servant now.”
31. 16 But he said, “As the LORD
lives, before whom I stand, I will
take nothing.” And he urged him
to take it, but he refused.
32. 17 Naaman said, “If not, please
let your servant at least be given
two mules’ load of earth; for
your servant will no longer offer
burnt offering nor will he
sacrifice to other gods, but to
the LORD.
33.
34.
35.
36. 2 Now the Arameans had gone
out in bands and had taken
captive a little girl from the land
of Israel; and she waited on
Naaman’s wife.
37. 3 She said to her mistress, “I
wish that my master were with
the prophet who is in Samaria!
Then he would cure him of his
leprosy.” 4 Naaman went in and
told his master, saying, “Thus
and thus spoke the girl who is
from the land of Israel.”
38. 2 And do not be conformed to
this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind,
so that you may prove what the
will of God is, that which is good
and acceptable and perfect.
39.

41. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to
him, saying, “Go and wash in the
Jordan seven times, and your
flesh will be restored to you and
you will be clean.”
42. 11 But Naaman was furious and
went away and said, “Behold, I
thought, ‘He will surely come
out to me and stand and call on
the name of the LORD his God,
and wave his hand over the
place and cure the leper.’
43. 12 Are not Abanah and Pharpar,
the rivers of Damascus, better
than all the waters of Israel?
Could I not wash in them and be
clean?” So he turned and went
away in a rage.
44. 32 Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free."
45.
46.
47. 18 The fact is, you have had five
husbands, and the man you now
have is not your husband. What
you have just said is quite true."
48. 24 God is spirit, and his
worshipers must worship in
spirit and in truth."
49.
50.
51. 14 So he went down and dipped
himself seven times in the
Jordan, according to the word of
the man of God; and his flesh
was restored like the flesh of a
little child and he was clean.
52. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh
are evident, which are:
immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities,
strife, jealousy, outbursts of
anger, disputes, dissensions,
factions,
53. 21 envying, drunkenness,
carousing, and things like these,
of which I forewarn you, just as I
have forewarned you, that those
who practice such things will not
inherit the kingdom of God.
54. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control;
against such things there is no
law.

57. 8 But Noah found favor in the
eyes of the LORD.
9 These are the records of the
generations of Noah. Noah was
a righteous man, blameless in
his time; Noah walked with God.
