  1. Micah 7:18-20 Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
  2. Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
  3. Genesis 2:15-16 parallel with 1 John 5:2-3 (NLT) But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden—except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die.” We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments. Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.
  4. Luke 6:45-46 parallel with Psalm 42:1 and Isaiah 42:6 (NLT) A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations.
  5. Job 37:6-8 parallel with Psalm 46:10 (NLT) “He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down. Then everyone stops working so they can watch his power. The wild animals take cover and stay inside their dens. “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
  6. Philemon 16 parallel with Galatians 4:7 and John 15:15 (NLT) He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord. Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
  7. Philemon 10-11, 15, 17 parallel with Hebrews 4:14 and Romans 8:34 and Luke 15:18 (NLT) I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus. I became his father in the faith while here in prison. Onesimus hasn’t been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us. ... It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever. ... So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
  8. Colossians 2:14 parallel with Philemon 18-19 (TLV) He wiped out the handwritten record of debts with the decrees against us, which was hostile to us. He took it away by nailing it to the cross. But if he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge that to my account. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay. (Not to mention that you owe me your very self.)
  9. 1 Timothy 2:5-7 (NLT) For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time. And I have been chosen as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles this message about faith and truth. I’m not exaggerating—just telling the truth.
  10. 1 Timothy 2:11-14 parallel with Titus 2:3-5 (NLT) Women should learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result. Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.
  11. 1 Timothy 2:8-10 (NLT) In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy. And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.
  12. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NLT) I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.
  13. 1 Timothy 1:10b-11 parallel with 2 Timothy 1:12,13a, 14 and 2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV) ... sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted. which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. ... By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me ... and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
  14. Romans 13:10 parallel with Galatians 5:14 and Matthew 5:17 (NLT) Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.
  15. 1 Timothy 1:8-11 (NLT) We know that the law is good when used correctly. For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.
