Highlighted Part Two: New Testament

     Yesterday, I posted the Old Testament verses which I highlighted in my Bible, borrowing an idea from another blogging friend. Here are the ones from the New Testament.
   
     Matthew 7:2
     For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
   
     Matthew 18:15-17
     If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to the, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or tax collector.
   
     Matthew 23:13
     Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
   
     Mark 8:34
     If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
   
     Acts 28:28
     Therefore, I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!
   
     Romans 1:18-25
     The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,  since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.  Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
   
     Romans 8:24-26
     For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
   
     Romans 8:34
     Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
   
     1 Corinthians 2:14-16
     The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ.
   
     Ephesians 4:3
     Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
   
     Colossians 1:15-20
     He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
   
     James 1:19
     My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
   
     James 3:10
     Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
   
     James 4:4
     You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
   
     1 Peter 1:15-16
     But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
   
     1 Peter 2:16
     Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
   
     1 Peter 3:15-16
     But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
   
     1 Peter 4:8
     Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
   
     Revelation 21:4
     He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
