This woman was caught in the very act of adultery

I am the light of the world

The truth will set you free

I was blind, and now I see!

I am the Good Shepherd

I and the Father are one

Raising Lazarus from the dead

Jesus washes the feet of his disciples

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

Pentecost

It is more blessed to give than to receive

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

Love is very patient and kind

And the greatest of these is love

Speaking in tongues

O death, where is thy sting

God loveth a cheerful giver

My grace is sufficient

Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry

Put on the full armor of God

He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion

A name which is above all names

That every knee shall bow and every tonuge confess that Jesus is Lord

Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest…

Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine, good things in others

Raising holy hands

Let us come boldly to the very throne of God

Heroes of the Faith

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen

Entertaining angels

I will never, never fail you nor forsake you

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever

This world is not our home

Be happy

Listen much, speak little

Faith without works is dead

By whose stripes ye were healed

God is Light and in him is no darkness at all

Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world

If anyone says “I love God,” but keeps on hating his brother, he is a liar

I am Alpha and Omega

The New Jerusalem

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty

The one who was, and is, and is to come

The Lamb who was slain

Lamb’s Book of Life

The number 666

Lake of Fire

There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain
