"[18] For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold," (1Pe 1:18 CSB)
"[21] submitting to one another in the fear of Christ. [22] Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord," (Eph 5:21-22 CSB)
"[1] I exhort the elders among you as a fellow elder and witness to the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory about to be revealed: [2] Shepherd God's flock among you, not overseeing out of compulsion but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed for money but eagerly; [3] not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." (1Pe 5:1-3 CSB)
"[13] This is another thing you do. You are covering the LORD's altar with tears, with weeping and groaning, because he no longer respects your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands. [14] And you ask, "Why? " Because even though the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, you have acted treacherously against her. She was your marriage partner and your wife by covenant. [15] Didn't God make them one and give them a portion of spirit? What is the one seeking? Godly offspring. So watch yourselves carefully, so that no one acts treacherously against the wife of his youth." (Mal 2:13-15 CSB)
"[33] To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband." (Eph 5:33 CSB)
"[1] Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right. [2] Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, [3] so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land. [4] Fathers, don't stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." (Eph 6:1-4 CSB)
"[6] "These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. [7] "Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." (Deu 6:6-7 CSB)
"[24] "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. [25] "The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn't collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. [26] "But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn't act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. [27] "The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash."" (Mat 7:24-27 CSB)
"[1] "This is the command -- the statutes and ordinances -- the LORD your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you may follow them in the land you are about to enter and possess. [2] "Do this so that you may fear the LORD your God all the days of your life by keeping all his statutes and commands I am giving you, your son, and your grandson, and so that you may have a long life. [3] "Listen, Israel, and be careful to follow them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly, because the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey. [4] "Listen, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. [5] "Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. ... [8] "Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. [9] "Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates. [10] "When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give you -- a land with large and beautiful cities that you did not build," (Deu 6:1-5, 8-10 CSB)
"[12] Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, [13] bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive. [14] Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. [15] And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful. [16] Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. [17] And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Col 3:12-17 CSB)
"[9] Better to live on the corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife." (Pro 21:9 CSB)
This is another thing you do. You are covering the LORD’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning, because he no longer respects your offerings or receives them gladly from your hands.
And you ask, “Why? ” Because even though the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, you have acted treacherously against her. She was your marriage partner and your wife by covenant.
Didn’t God make them one and give them a portion of spirit? What is the one seeking?[fn] Godly offspring. So watch yourselves carefully,[fn] so that no one acts treacherously against the wife of his[fn] youth.
“This is the command — the statutes and ordinances — the LORD your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you may follow them in the land you are about to enter and possess.
“Do this so that you may fear the LORD your God all the days of your life by keeping all his statutes and commands I am giving you, your son, and your grandson, and so that you may have a long life.
“Listen, Israel, and be careful to follow them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly, because the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.
“When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give you — a land with large and beautiful cities that you did not build,
bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.
Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,[fn] singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
