a Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 (What gain have the workers from their toil? I have
seen the business that God has given to everyone to be busy with. He had
made everything suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past
and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from
the beginning to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to
be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; moreover, it is God’s
gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil. I know that
whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor
anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe
before him. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already is;
and God seeks out what has gone by.)
James 1:17, Daniel 7:14
b 2 Peter 1:3-8 (His divine power has given us everything needed for life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and
goodness. Thus he has given us, through these things, his precious and
very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the
corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants
of the divine nature. For this very reason, you must make every effort to
support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and
knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance
with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection
with love. For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they
keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ.)
Romans 8:5-6, Romans 12:2, John 16:12-16
c 1 Corinthians 1:10 (Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be
no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the
same purpose.)
John 17:23, Romans 12:16
