Matthew 6:19-3419 `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,20 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,21 for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.22 `The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened,23 but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness — the darkness, how great!24 `None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.25 `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?26 look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?27 `And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?28 and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;29 and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.30 `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe — not much more you, O ye of little faith?31 therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round?32 for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;33 but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.

And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides – ASLAN International Ministry
2 Peter 1:5-115 And this same also — all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge,6 and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety,7 and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;8 for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you] neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ,9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins;10 wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble,11 for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love – ASLAN International Ministry
Ephesians 2:4-104 and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,5 even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)6 and did raise [us] up together, and did seat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,7 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,8 for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you — of God the gift,9 not of works, that no one may boast;10 for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

And in the fourth watch of the night – ASLAN International Ministry
Matthew 14:25-3325 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,26 and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — `It is an apparition,’ and from the fear they cried out;27 and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.’28 And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;’29 and he said, `Come;’ and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,30 but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.’31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?’32 and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,33 and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly — God’s Son art thou.’

1 John 5:1-65 Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:2 in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;3 for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;4 because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world — our faith;5 who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?6 This one is he who did come through water and blood — Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth,

James 1:1-121 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!2 All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;6 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,7 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord –8 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,10 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;11 for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!12 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, – ASLAN International Ministry
James 2:14-2014 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?15 and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,16 and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,’ and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what [is] the profit?17 so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself.18 But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith:19 thou — thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!20 And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead?
