Romans 12:16b parallel with 1 Peter 5:5 and Proverbs 6:16-19 and John 13:5 (NASB) do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

John 17:20-24 parallel with John 13:35 (NET) “I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony, that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one—I in them and you in me—that they may be completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me. Everyone will know by this that you are my disciples—if you have love for one another.”

Romans 11:36 parallel with Romans 16:25-27 (NET) For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.

Amen.

Psalm 34:14 parallel with Romans 14:17 (NLT) Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Romans 12:16a parallel with Psalm 133:1 and Proverbs 6:16,19b; Proverbs 18:19 (NLT) Live in harmony with each other. How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! There are six things the Lord hates—no, seven things he detests: ... a person who sows discord in a family. An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.

Romans 12:15 parallel with John 11:34-36 and Psalm 34:18 and Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4 and 1 Corinthians 12:36 (NET) Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. He asked, “Where have you laid him?” They replied, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept. Thus the people who had come to mourn said, “Look how much he loved him!” The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he delivers those who are discouraged. For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth: ... a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it.

1 Timothy 6:11-12 (KJV) But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Matthew 6:33 parallel with Romans 14:17 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Proverbs 24:17-18 parallel with Luke 6:27-28 and Ezekiel 33:11 (NET) Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and when he stumbles do not let your heart rejoice, lest the Lord see it, and be displeased, and turn his wrath away from him. “But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! Why should you die, O house of Israel?’

Romans 12:14 parallel with Luke 23:34 and Acts 7:60 and Matthew 18:21-22 and Psalm 22:18 (NET) Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. [But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”] Then they threw dice to divide his clothes. Then he fell to his knees and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he died. Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times! They are dividing up my clothes among themselves; they are rolling dice for my garments.

Romans 12:13b parallel with 1 Timothy 3:2 and Hebrews 13:2 and 1 Peter 4:9 (NLT) Always be eager to practice hospitality. So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.

Proverbs 31:10, 15, 20 (TLV) An accomplished woman who can find? Her value is far beyond rubies. She rises while it is still night and provides food for her household and portions for her servant girls. She spreads out her palms to the poor, and extends her hands to the needy.

Luke 3:11 parallel with Isaiah 58:6a, 7 and Acts 2:44 (NLT) John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.” “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: ... Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.

Romans 12:13a parallel with 1 John 3:17 and John 13:34 and Galatians 6:10 and Matthew 10:42 (NASB) contributing to the needs of the saints, But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. And whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”

Matthew 6:9-13 (NET) So pray this way: Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Romans 8:26-27 (KJV) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

James 5:16 parallel with Luke 6:12-13 and Hebrews 7:25 and Romans 8:34 (NET) So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great effectiveness. Now it was during this time that Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and he spent all night in prayer to God. When morning came, he called his disciples and chose twelve of them, whom he also named apostles: So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, Because you have kept my admonition to endure steadfastly, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come on the whole world to test those who live on the earth. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Psalm 84:10-11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. (KJV) For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right. O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what joy for those who trust in you. (NLT)

1 Peter 1:3 parallel with Psalm 39:7 and Psalm 84:12 (KJV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

Psalm 34:17-18 parallel with Acts 17:26 (NASB) The righteous cry, and the Lord hears And delivers them out of all their troubles.

John 15:15 parallel with Proverbs 18:24 (NLT) 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. There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

Isaiah 59:14-16, parallel with Romans 1:18-19, 32 (NLT) Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed. Yes, truth is gone, and anyone who renounces evil is attacked. The Lord looked and was displeased to find there was no justice. He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed. So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm, and his justice sustained him. But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. ... They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.
