jeremiah 17:9 niv

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

ii peter 1:20-21 niv

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

judges 21:25 esv

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

i corinthians 2:13 niv

This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

ecclesiastes 12:11 esv

The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd.

i corinthians 14:10-11 niv

Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and the speaker is a foreigner to me.

deuteronomy 12:28 niv

Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.

proverbs 14:12 esv

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

proverbs 3:5-6 niv

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

isaiah 45:9-12 niv

Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’

Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?

Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’

This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question Me about my children, or give Me orders about the work of My hands? It is I Who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.

james 4:12 niv

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One Who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

job 34:31-33, 38:2-3, 40:2, 8 niv

Suppose someone says to God, ‘I am guilty but will offend no more. Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again.’ Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I; so tell me what you know.

"Who is this that obscures My plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

"Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? Let him who accuses God answer Him!"

"Would you discredit My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?

ezekiel 18:29 niv

Yet the Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are My ways unjust, people of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?

deuteronomy 19:15 niv

One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

ii corinthians 13:1 niv

This will be my third visit to you. "Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses."

john 5:31-47 niv

If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not true. There is another Who testifies in My favor, and I know that His testimony about Me is true.

You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light.

I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent Me. And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified concerning Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form, nor does His Word dwell in you, for you do not believe the One He sent.

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.

I do not accept glory from human beings, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not accept Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"

luke 24:48 niv

You are witnesses of these things.

matthew 4:5-7 niv

Then the devil took Him to the holy city and had Him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If You are the Son of God," he said, "throw Yourself down. For it is written: " ‘He will command his angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’"

Jesus answered him, "It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’"

acts 15:15 niv

The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:

acts 17:11 niv

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

john 10:35 niv

If He called them ‘gods,’ to whom the Word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—

ecclesiastes 12:11 esv

The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings; they are given by one Shepherd.

ii timothy 2:13 niv

if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot disown Himself.

galatians 1:8 niv

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!

ii peter 2:1 niv

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord Who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

i thessalonians 5:19-22 niv

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.

hebrews 5:11 niv

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.

ii peter 3:16 niv

He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

luke 10:29 niv

But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

psalm 119:140 niv

Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
