Beloved

And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”

“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”

And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.

Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, women who have worked hard in the Lord. Greet my beloved Persis, who has worked very hard in the Lord.

I am not writing this to shame you, but to warn you as my beloved children.

That is why I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which is exactly what I teach everywhere in every church.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up.

Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.

Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

You learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.

With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas send you greetings.

We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.

Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.

To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,

no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.

Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom He promised those who love Him?

Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.

For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking

Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

Therefore, beloved, as you anticipate these things, make every effort to be found at peace—spotless and blameless in His sight.

Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him.

Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.

Beloved, I am not writing to you a new commandment, but an old one, which you have had from the beginning. This commandment is the message you have heard.

Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God,

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

The elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth:

Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.

Beloved, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, and especially since they are strangers to you.

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.

Beloved, although I made every effort to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt it necessary to write and urge you to contend earnestly for the faith entrusted once for all to the saints.

But you, beloved, remember what was foretold by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ

But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
