Romans 5:12, 15, 17-19, 20-21
(12) Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into this world, and through sin, death; so also death was transferred to all men, to all who have sinned (15) But the gift is not entirely like the offense. For though by the offense of one, many died, yet much more so, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, has the grace and gift of God abounded to many (17) For though, by the one offense, death reigned through one, yet so much more so shall those who receive an abundance of grace, both of the gift and of justice, reign in life through the one Jesus Christ (18) Therefore, just as through the offense of one, all men fell under condemnation, so also through the justice of one, all men fall under justification unto life (19) For, just as through the disobedience of one man, many were established as sinners, so also through the obedience of one man, many shall be established as just (20) Now the law entered in such a way that offenses would abound. But where offenses were abundant, grace was superabundant (21) So then, just as sin has reigned unto death, so also may grace reign through justice unto eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord
Psalms 40:7-10, 17
(7) And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way (8) All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me (9) They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again (10) For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me
Luke 12:35-38
(35) Let your waists be girded, and let lamps be burning in your hands (36) And let you yourselves be like men awaiting their lord, when he will return from the wedding; so that, when he arrives and knocks, they may open to him promptly (37) Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to them (38) And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants
