When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. (Deu 18:22 KJV)

The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. (Jer 28:9 KJV)

Elke wapen wat teen jou gesmee word, sal niks uitrig nie; en elke tong wat teen jou opstaan in die gereg, sal jy weerlê. Dit is die erfdeel van die knegte van die HERE en hulle geregtigheid wat uit My is, spreek die HERE. 
(Jes. 54:17)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. 
(Isa 54:17 KJV)

Sorg daarvoor, broeders, dat daar nie miskien in een van julle ‘n bose en ongelowige hart is deurdat hy van die lewende God afvallig word nie. Maar vermaan mekaar elke dag so lank as dit vandag genoem word, sodat niemand van julle deur die verleiding van die sonde verhard word nie. Want ons het deelgenote van Christus geword, as ons net die begin van ons vertroue tot die einde toe onwrikbaar vashou; omdat daar gesê word: Vandag as julle sy stem hoor, verhard julle harte nie soos in die verbittering nie. 
(Heb 3:12-15)

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 
(Heb 3:12-15)

Wees vlytig in hierdie dinge, leef daarin, sodat jou vooruitgang vir almal duidelik kan wees. Let op jouself en op die leer; volhard daarin; want deur dit te doen, sal jy jouself red sowel as die wat jou hoor. 
(1 Tim. 4:15-16)

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 
(1Ti 4:15-16 KJV)

Die dag as ek vrees, sal ék op U vertrou. Deur God sal ek sy woord prys; ek vertrou op God, ek vrees nie; wat kan vlees my doen?
(Ps. 56:4-5)

En daar sal tekens wees aan son en maan en sterre, en op die aarde benoudheid van nasies in hulle radeloosheid, wanneer see en branders dreun, en mense se harte beswyk van vrees en verwagting van die dinge wat oor die wêreld kom. Want die kragte van die hemele sal geskud word. 
(Luk. 21:25-26)

Want God het ons nie ‘n gees van vreesagtigheid gegee nie, maar van krag en liefde en selfbeheersing. 
(2 Tim. 1:7)

Onderwerp julle dan aan God; weerstaan die duiwel, en hy sal van julle wegvlug. 
(Jak. 4:7)

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 
(Psa 56:3-4 KJV)

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 
(Luk 21:25-26 KJV)

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 
(2Ti 1:7 KJV)

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(Jas 4:7 KJV)

Want God het ons nie tot onreinheid geroep nie, maar tot heiligmaking. Daarom, hy wat dit verwerp, verwerp nie ‘n mens nie, maar God wat ook sy Heilige Gees aan ons gegee het. 
(1 Thess. 4:7-8)

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 
(1Th 4:7-8 KJV)

Verder het julle gehoor dat aan die mense van die ou tyd gesê is: Jy mag nie vals sweer nie, maar jy moet jou ede aan die Here hou. Maar Ek sê vir julle: Sweer hoegenaamd nie—nie by die hemel nie, omdat dit die troon van God is; ook nie by die aarde nie, omdat dit die voetbank van sy voete is; ook nie by Jerusalem nie, omdat dit die stad is van die groot Koning; ook by jou hoof mag jy nie sweer nie, omdat jy nie een haar wit of swart kan maak nie. Maar laat julle woord wees: Ja ja, nee nee. Wat meer as dit is, is uit die Bose. (Mat 5:33-37)

Maar bo alles, my broeders, moenie sweer nie: nie by die hemel nie, ook nie by die aarde nie en ook geen ander eed nie; maar laat julle ja ja wees en julle nee nee, sodat julle nie onder ‘n oordeel val nie.  (Jak. 5:12)

En wat noem julle My: Here, Here! en doen nie wat Ek sê nie? (Luk. 6:46)

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. (Mat 5:33-37 KJV)

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. (Jas 5:12 KJV)

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Luk 6:46 KJV)

Niemand is heilig soos die HERE nie; ja, daar is niemand buiten U, en daar is geen rots soos onse God nie. Spreek nie voortdurend alte hoog nie, laat vermetele taal nie uit julle mond uitgaan nie; want die HERE is ‘n God van diepe kennis, en deur Hom word die dade beproef. 
(1 Sam. 2:2-3)

Nogtans is ek altyddeur by U; U het my regterhand gevat. U sal my lei deur u raad en my daarna in heerlikheid opneem. Wie het ek buiten U in die hemel? Buiten U begeer ek ook niks op die aarde nie. Al beswyk my vlees en my hart—God is die rots van my hart en my deel tot in ewigheid. 
(Ps. 73:23-26)

There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 
(1Sa 2:2-3 KJV)

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 
(Psa 73:23-26 KJV)

Want dit is die verbond wat Ek ná dié dae sal sluit met die huis van Israel, spreek die Here: Ek sal my wette in hulle verstand gee en dit op hulle hart skrywe; en Ek sal vir hulle ‘n God wees, en hulle sal vir My ‘n volk wees. En hulle sal nie meer elkeen sy naaste en elkeen sy broer leer en sê: Ken die Here nie; want almal sal My ken, klein en groot onder hulle. Want Ek sal barmhartig wees oor hulle ongeregtighede en aan hulle sondes en hulle oortredinge nooit meer dink nie. 
(Heb 8:10-12)

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 
(Heb 8:10-12 KJV)

Wees nie bevrees nie, want Ek is met jou; kyk nie angstig rond nie, want Ek is jou God. Ek versterk jou, ook help Ek jou, ook ondersteun Ek jou met my reddende regterhand. 
(Jes. 41:10)

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 
(Isa 41:10 KJV)

En toe Hy in ‘n sekere dorp ingaan, kom tien melaatse manne Hom tegemoet, wat op ‘n afstand bly staan het. En hulle het hul stem verhef en gesê: Jesus, Meester, wees ons barmhartig! En toe Hy hulle sien, sê Hy vir hulle: Gaan vertoon julle aan die priesters. En onderwyl hulle weggaan, het hulle rein geword. En een van hulle, toe hy sien dat hy gesond was, het omgedraai en God met ‘n groot stem verheerlik. En hy het op sy aangesig neergeval by sy voete en Hom gedank. En hy was ‘n Samaritaan. Toe antwoord Jesus en sê: Het tien nie rein geword nie? En waar is die nege? Was daar niemand onder hulle te vinde wat omgedraai het om God te verheerlik behalwe hierdie vreemdeling nie? En Hy sê vir hom: Staan op en gaan; jou geloof het jou gered. 
(Luk 17:12-19)

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. 
(Luk 17:12-19 KJV)

Waak dan, omdat julle nie weet watter uur julle Here kom nie. Maar weet dit: as die huisheer geweet het in watter nagwaak die dief sou kom, sou hy gewaak en nie toegelaat het dat in sy huis ingebreek word nie. Daarom moet julle ook gereed wees, want die Seun van die mens kom op ‘n uur dat julle dit nie verwag nie. Wie is dan die getroue en verstandige dienskneg vir wie sy heer oor sy diensvolk aangestel het om hulle hul voedsel op tyd te gee? Gelukkig is daardie dienskneg vir wie sy heer, as hy kom, op hierdie manier besig sal vind. 
(Matt. 24:42-46)

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 
(Mat 24:42-46 KJV)

En dadelik ná die verdrukking van daardie dae sal die son verduister word, en die maan sal sy glans nie gee nie, en die sterre sal van die hemel val, en die kragte van die hemele sal geskud word. En dan sal die teken van die Seun van die mens in die hemel verskyn, en dan sal al die stamme van die aarde rou bedryf en die Seun van die mens sien kom op die wolke van die hemel met groot krag en heerlikheid. 
(Matt. 24:29-30)

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 
(Mat 24:29-30 KJV)

Verbly julle altyd in die Here; ek herhaal: Verbly julle! Laat julle vriendelikheid aan alle mense bekend word. Die Here is naby. Wees oor niks besorg nie, maar laat julle begeertes in alles deur gebed en smeking met danksegging bekend word by God. En die vrede van God, wat alle verstand te bowe gaan, sal julle harte en julle sinne bewaar in Christus Jesus. 
(Fil. 4:4-7)

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 
(Php 4:4-7 KJV)

Daarom, my geliefde broeders, wees standvastig, onbeweeglik, altyd oorvloedig in die werk van die Here, omdat julle weet dat julle arbeid in die Here nie tevergeefs is nie. 
(1 Kor. 15:58)

Wees nugter en waaksaam, want julle teëstander, die duiwel, loop rond soos ‘n brullende leeu, en soek wie hy kan verslind. Hom moet julle teëstaan, standvastig in die geloof,… 
(1 Pet. 5:8-9)

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 
(1Co 15:58 KJV)

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith,… 
(1Pe 5:8-9 KJV)

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 
(Tit 1:7-9 KJV)

Want ‘n opsiener moet as ‘n rentmeester van God onberispelik wees, nie eiesinnig, nie oplopend, geen drinker, geen vegter, geen vuilgewinsoeker nie; maar gasvry, een wat die goeie liefhet, ingetoë, regverdig, heilig, een wat homself beheers; een wat vashou aan die betroubare woord wat volgens die leer is, sodat hy in staat kan wees om met die gesonde leer te vermaan sowel as om die teësprekers te weerlê. 
(Tit 1:7-9)

En Hy het ook met die oog op sommige wat op hulleself vertrou dat hulle regverdig is en die ander verag, hierdie gelykenis vertel. Twee manne het na die tempel opgegaan om te bid, die een ‘n Fariseër en die ander ‘n tollenaar. En die Fariseër het gaan staan en by homself so gebid: o God, ek dank U dat ek nie soos die ander mense is nie—rowers, onregverdiges, egbrekers, of ook soos hierdie tollenaar nie. Ek vas twee keer in die week, ek gee tiendes van alles wat ek verkry. En die tollenaar het ver weg gestaan en wou selfs nie sy oë na die hemel ophef nie, maar het op sy bors geslaan en gesê: o God, wees my, sondaar, genadig! Ek sê vir julle, hierdie laaste een het geregverdig na sy huis gegaan eerder as die eerste een; want elkeen wat homself verhoog, sal verneder word, en hy wat homself verneder, sal verhoog word. 
(Luk 18:9-14)

And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 
(Luk 18:9-14 KJV)

Vroue het hulle dode deur opstanding teruggekry, en ander is gefolter en wou geen bevryding aanneem nie, om ‘n beter opstanding te kan verkry. Ander weer het die proef van bespottinge en geselinge deurstaan, ook van boeie en gevangenis. Hulle is gestenig, in stukke gesaag, versoek, deur die swaard vermoor. Hulle het rondgeloop in skaapvelle en in bokvelle; hulle het gebrek gely, hulle is verdruk, mishandel— die wêreld was hulle nie werd nie—hulle het in woestyne rondgedwaal en op berge en in spelonke en skeure in die grond.  (Hebr. 11:35-38)

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. (Heb 11:35-38 KJV)

Want sewe maal val die regverdige en staan weer op, maar die goddelose struikel in die ongeluk. As jou vyand val, verheug jou nie; en as hy struikel, laat jou hart nie juig nie, dat die HERE dit nie sien en dit miskien verkeerd is in sy oë en Hy sy toorn van hom afwend nie. Vererg jou nie oor die kwaaddoeners nie, wees nie afgunstig op die goddelose nie. Want die kwaaddoener het geen toekoms nie, die lamp van die goddelose gaan dood. (Spr. 24:16-20)

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. 
(Pro 24:16-20 KJV)

(Mal. 3:6)  Want Ek, die HERE, het nie verander nie; 

(Hebr. 13:8)  Jesus Christus is gister en vandag dieselfde en tot in ewigheid.

(Ps. 89:35)  Ek sal my verbond nie ontheilig nie, en wat oor my lippe gegaan het, sal Ek nie verander nie.

(Matt. 12:25)  Maar Jesus het hulle gedagtes geken en vir hulle gesê: Elke koninkryk wat teen homself verdeeld is, word verwoes;...

(Malachi 3:6 KJV)  For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

 (Hebrews 13:8 KJV)  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

(Psalms 89:34 KJV)  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

(Matthew 12:25 KJV)  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;...

Want hierdie gebod wat ek jou vandag beveel, is vir jou nie te swaar nie en is nie ver nie. Dit is nie in die hemel nie, sodat jy moet sê: Wie sal vir ons na die hemel opklim en dit vir ons gaan haal en ons dit laat hoor, dat ons dit kan doen? Dit is ook nie oorkant die see nie, sodat jy moet sê: Wie sal vir ons na die oorkant van die see oorvaar en dit vir ons gaan haal en ons dit laat hoor, dat ons dit kan doen? Maar baie naby jou is die woord, in jou mond en in jou hart, om dit te doen.
(Deut. 30:11-14)

Ek is met Christus gekruisig, en ék leef nie meer nie, maar Christus leef in my. En wat ek nou in die vlees lewe, leef ek deur die geloof in die Seun van God wat my liefgehad het en Homself vir my oorgegee het.
(Gal. 2:20)

Want dit is die liefde tot God, dat ons sy gebooie bewaar; en sy gebooie is nie swaar nie.
(1 Joh. 5:3)

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
(Deu 30:11-14)

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
(Gal 2:20)

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
(1Jn 5:3)

En moenie julle lede stel tot beskikking van die sonde as werktuie van ongeregtigheid nie, maar stel julleself tot beskikking van God as mense wat uit die dode lewend geword het, en julle lede as werktuie van geregtigheid in die diens van God. Want die sonde sal oor julle nie heers nie; want julle is nie onder die wet nie, maar onder die genade. Wat dan? Sal ons sonde doen, omdat ons nie onder die wet is nie maar onder die genade? Nee, stellig nie! Weet julle nie dat aan wie julle julself as diensknegte tot beskikking stel om hom gehoorsaam te wees, julle diensknegte is van hom aan wie julle gehoorsaam is nie òf van die sonde tot die dood, òf van die gehoorsaamheid tot geregtigheid?
(Rom 6:13-16)

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
(Rom 6:13-16)

Is daar nie verheffing as jy goed doen nie? En as jy nie goed doen nie—die sonde lê en loer voor die deur, en sy begeerte is na jou; maar jy moet daaroor heers. 

(Gen.4:7)

 
Onderwerp julle dan aan God; weerstaan die duiwel, en hy sal van julle wegvlug.

(Jak. 4:7)

En die vrede van God, wat alle verstand te bowe gaan, sal julle harte en julle sinne bewaar in Christus Jesus.

(Fil. 4:7)

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

(Gen 4:7)

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

(Jas 4:7)

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

(Php 4:7)

So sê die HERE, die Koning van Israel en sy Losser, die HERE van die leërskare: Ek is die Eerste, en Ek is die Laaste, en buiten My is daar geen God nie. En wie roep soos Ek—laat hom dit dan te kenne gee en aan My voorlê—vandat Ek die volk van die ou tyd gegrond het? En laat hulle die toekomstige dinge en wat sal gebeur, te kenne gee. Wees nie verskrik nie, en moenie bewe nie! Het Ek jou dit nie lank tevore laat hoor en te kenne gegee nie? En júlle is my getuies! Is daar ‘n God buiten My? Ja, daar is geen rotssteen nie; Ek ken geeneen nie.
(Jes. 44:6-8)

Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
(Isa 44:6-8)

Ek haat, Ek versmaad julle feeste en het geen welgevalle aan julle feestye nie. (Amos 5:21)

So sê die HERE: Maak julle nie gewend aan die weg van die heidene nie,… (Jer. 10:2)

Jy mag die meerderheid nie volg in verkeerde dinge nie. (Eks. 23:2)

Want jy mag jou nie neerbuig voor ‘n ander god nie; want die HERE se Naam is Jaloers—’n jaloerse God is Hy. (Eks. 34:14)

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. (Amo 5:21)

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen,… (Jer 10:2)

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil;… (Exo 23:2)

For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: (Exo 34:14)

En in die tweede jaar van die regering van Nebukadnésar, het Nebukadnésar ‘n droom gehad, sodat sy gees onrustig geword het en dit met sy slaap gedaan was. Toe het die koning bevel gegee om die geleerdes en die besweerders en die towenaars en die Chaldeërs te roep, om vir die koning sy droom uit te lê. Toe hulle kom en voor die koning gaan staan, sê die koning vir hulle: Ek het ‘n droom gehad, en my gees is onrustig om die droom te verstaan. Toe het die Chaldeërs met die koning gespreek Aramees: Mag die koning vir altyd lewe! Vertel u dienaars die droom, en ons sal die uitlegging te kenne gee. Die koning het geantwoord en aan die Chaldeërs gesê: Die saak staan by my vas: as julle die droom en sy uitlegging nie aan my bekend maak nie, sal julle in stukke gekap en van julle huise mishope gemaak word. (Dan. 2:1-5)

And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
(Dan 2:1-5)

En Hy het uit een bloed al die nasies van die mensdom gemaak om oor die hele aarde te woon, terwyl Hy vooraf bepaalde tye en die grense van hulle woonplek vasgestel het, sodat hulle die Here kon soek, of hulle Hom miskien kon aanraak en vind, al is Hy nie ver van elkeen van ons nie; want in Hom lewe ons, beweeg ons en is ons, soos sommige van julle digters ook gesê het: Want ons is ook sy geslag.
(Hand. 17:26-28)

Ek is met Christus gekruisig, en ék leef nie meer nie, maar Christus leef in my. En wat ek nou in die vlees lewe, leef ek deur die geloof in die Seun van God wat my liefgehad het en Homself vir my oorgegee het.
(Gal 2:20)

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
(Act 17:26-28)

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

En toe Hy op die Olyfberg gaan sit het, kom die dissipels alleen na Hom en sê: Vertel ons, wanneer sal hierdie dinge wees, en wat is die teken van u koms en van die voleinding van die wêreld? En Jesus antwoord en sê vir hulle: Pas op dat niemand julle mislei nie….En dan sal baie tot struikel gebring word en mekaar verraai en mekaar haat. (Matt. 24:3, 4 +10)

 Want dit is geen vyand wat my smaad nie, anders sou ek dit dra; dit is nie my hater wat hom teen my groot maak nie, anders sou ek my vir hom wegsteek; maar jy, ‘n man soos ek, my vriend en my vertroude! Ons wat innig met mekaar omgegaan het, in die huis van God gewandel het met die woelige skare. (Ps. 55:13-15)

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you…And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. (Mat 24:3,4 + 10)

 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. (Psa 55:12-14)

Ek het die HERE lank verwag, en Hy het Hom na my toe neergebuig en my hulpgeroep gehoor; en Hy het my uit die kuil van vernietiging, uit die modderige slyk opgetrek en my voete op ‘n rots gestel; Hy het my gange vasgemaak. En Hy het ‘n nuwe lied in my mond gegee, ‘n lofsang tot eer van onse God. Baie sal dit sien en vrees en op die HERE vertrou. Welgeluksalig is die man wat sy vertroue in die HERE stel en hom nie wend tot hoogmoediges en leuendienaars nie. Groot dinge het U gedoen, HERE my God—u wonders en gedagtes vir ons; niemand kan met U vergelyk word nie. Wil ek dit verkondig en uitspreek, dan is dit te veel om te vertel.
(Ps. 40:2-6)

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
(Psa 40:1-5)

Maar julle wat die HERE verlaat, wat my heilige berg vergeet, wat ‘n tafel dek vir die geluksgod en die mengsel inskink vir die godin van die noodlot— Ek sal julle bestem vir die swaard, en julle almal sal buig om geslag te word, omdat Ek geroep maar julle nie geantwoord het nie, Ek gespreek maar julle nie geluister het nie, maar gedoen het wat verkeerd is in my oë en verkies het wat My nie behaag nie. (Jes. 65:11-12)

Jy mag die meerderheid nie volg in verkeerde dinge nie. (Eks. 23:2)

But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop(god of luck), and that furnish the drink offering unto that number (goddess of fate). Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.  (Isa 65:11-12)

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil;... (Exo 23:2)

Want God wat gesê het dat daar uit duisternis lig moet skyn—dit is Hy wat in ons harte geskyn het om die verligting te bring van die kennis van die heerlikheid van God in die aangesig van Jesus Christus. Maar ons het hierdie skat in erdekruike, sodat die voortreflikheid van die krag van God mag wees en nie uit ons nie. In alles word ons verdruk, maar ons is nie terneergedruk nie; ons is verleë, maar nie radeloos nie; vervolg, maar nie verlate nie; neergewerp, maar nie vernietig nie. Gedurig dra ons die doding van die Here Jesus in die liggaam om, sodat ook die lewe van Christus in ons liggaam openbaar kan word.
(2 Kor. 4:6-10)

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(2Co 4:6-10)

Maar van daardie dag en dié uur weet niemand nie, ook nie die engele in die hemel of die Seun nie, maar net die Vader. Pas op, waak en bid, want julle weet nie wanneer die tyd daar is nie. Dit is soos ‘n man wat op reis is, wat sy huis agtergelaat en sy diensknegte volmag gegee het, en vir elkeen sy werk, en aan die deurwagter bevel gegee het om te waak. Waak dan, want julle weet nie wanneer die eienaar van die huis kom nie: in die aand of middernag of met die haangekraai of vroeg in die môre nie; dat hy nie miskien skielik kom en julle aan die slaap vind nie. En wat Ek vir julle sê, sê Ek vir almal: Waak!
(Mar 13:32-37)

But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
(Mar 13:32-37)

En elkeen wat sy kruis nie dra en agter My aan kom nie, kan my dissipel nie wees nie. Want wie van julle wat ‘n toring wil bou, gaan nie eers sit en die koste bereken, of hy die middele het om dit uit te voer nie? — sodat as hy die fondament gelê het en nie in staat is om dit te voltooi nie, almal wat dit sien, nie miskien met hom sal begin spot en sê: Hierdie man het begin bou en kon nie klaarkry nie.
(Luk 14:27-30)

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
(Luk 14:27-30)

Ek wil jou onderrig en jou leer aangaande die weg wat jy moet gaan; Ek wil raad gee; my oog sal op jou wees. Wees nie soos ‘n perd, soos ‘n muilesel wat geen verstand het nie, wat ‘n mens moet tem met toom en teuel as sy tuig, anders kom hy nie naby jou nie. Die goddelose het baie smarte, maar hy wat op die HERE vertrou—met goedertierenheid sal Hy hom omring.
(Ps. 32:8-10)

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
(Psa 32:8-10)

Want as julle liefhet die wat vir julle liefhet, watter loon het julle? Doen die tollenaars nie ook dieselfde nie? En as julle net jul broeders groet, wat besonders doen julle dan? Doen die tollenaars nie ook so nie? Wees julle dan volmaak soos julle Vader in die hemele volmaak is. (Matt. 5:46-48)

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.  (Mat 5:46-48)

My seun, as jy my woorde aanneem en my gebooie by jou bewaar, sodat jy jou oor laat luister na wysheid, jou hart neig tot verstand; ja, as jy na die insig roep, na die verstand jou stem verhef, as jy daarna soek soos na silwer en dit naspeur soos verborge skatte, dan sal jy die vrees van die HERE verstaan en die kennis van God vind (want die HERE gee wysheid, uit sy mond kom kennis en verstand, en Hy bewaar hulp vir die opregtes, Hy is ‘n skild vir die wat regskape wandel deurdat Hy die paaie van die reg bewaak en die weg van sy gunsgenote bewaar); dan sal jy geregtigheid en reg verstaan en regverdigheid—elke goeie pad.  (Spr. 2:1-9)

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. (Pro 2:1-9)

As ons ons sondes bely, Hy is getrou en regverdig om ons die sondes te vergewe en ons van alle ongeregtigheid te reinig.  (1 Joh. 1:9)

Want Ek sal barmhartig wees oor hulle ongeregtighede en aan hulle sondes en hulle oortredinge nooit meer dink nie.  (Heb. 8:12)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1Jn 1:9)

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb 8:12)

Die geloof dan is ‘n vaste vertroue op die dinge wat ons hoop, ‘n bewys van die dinge wat ons nie sien nie...  Deur die geloof verstaan ons dat die wêreld deur die woord van God toeberei is, sodat die dinge wat gesien word, nie ontstaan het uit sienlike dinge nie... En sonder geloof is dit onmoontlik om God te behaag; want hy wat tot God gaan, moet glo dat Hy is en ‘n beloner is van die wat Hom soek.
(Heb. 11:1, 3 + 6)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear... But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
(Heb 11:1, 3 + 6)

Addergeslag, hoe kan julle goeie dinge praat terwyl julle sleg is? Want uit die oorvloed van die hart praat die mond.
(Matt. 12:34)

Wee julle, skrifgeleerdes en Fariseërs, geveinsdes, want julle is net soos gewitte grafte wat van buite wel fraai lyk, maar van binne vol doodsbene en allerhande onreinheid is. So lyk julle ook van buite vir die mense wel regverdig, maar van binne is julle vol geveinsdheid en ongeregtigheid.
(Matt. 23:27-28)

Slange, addergeslag, hoe sal julle die oordeel van die hel ontvlug?
(Matt. 23:33)

Wee julle, Fariseërs, want julle hou van die voorste banke in die sinagoges en die begroetinge op die markte. Wee julle, skrifgeleerdes en Fariseërs, geveinsdes, want julle is soos grafte wat onherkenbaar is, en die mense wat daaroor loop, weet dit nie. Toe antwoord een van die wetgeleerdes en sê vir Hom: Meester, as U só spreek, beledig U ons ook. En Hy sê: Wee julle ook, wetgeleerdes, want julle lê laste op die mense wat swaar is om te dra, en self roer julle die laste nie met een van julle vingers aan nie.
(Luk. 11:43-46)

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
(Mat 12:34)

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
(Mat 23:27-28)

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
(Mat 23:33)

Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
(Luk 11:43-46)

Daarop sê Mórdegai dat hulle Ester moes antwoord: Verbeel jou nie dat jy alleen uit al die Jode in die huis van die koning sal vrykom nie. Want as jy nou werklik swyg, sal daar van ‘n ander kant af verligting en redding vir die Jode tot stand kom, maar jy en jou familie sal omkom, en wie weet of jy nie met die oog op ‘n tyd soos hierdie tot die koninklike waardigheid geraak het nie?
(Est. 4:13-14)

Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
(Est 4:13-14)

Want alhoewel ek van almal vry was, het ek my aan almal diensbaar gemaak om soveel van hulle as moontlik te win. Vir die Jode het ek soos ‘n Jood geword om die Jode te win; vir die wat onder die wet is, soos een wat onder die wet is, om die wat onder die wet is, te win. Vir die wat sonder die wet is, soos een sonder wet—al is ek nie sonder die wet van God nie, maar onder die wet van Christus—om die wat sonder die wet is, te win; vir die swakkes het ek soos ‘n swakke geword om die swakke te win; vir almal het ek alles geword om in alle geval sommige te red. En ek doen dit ter wille van die evangelie, dat ek ‘n deelgenoot daarvan kan word.
(1 Kor. 9:19-23)

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
(1Co 9:19-23)

En Jesus antwoord hom: Niemand wat sy hand aan die ploeg slaan en agtertoe kyk, is geskik vir die koninkryk van God nie. (Luk 9:62)

“…gee ons vandag ons daaglikse brood;…” (Matt. 6:11)

Kwel julle dus nie oor môre nie, want môre sal hom oor sy eie dinge kwel. Elke dag het genoeg aan sy eie kwaad. (Matt. 6:34)

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luk 9:62)

Give us this day our daily bread. (Mat 6:11)

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Mat 6:34)

En ek, broeders, kon met julle nie spreek soos met geestelike mense nie, maar soos met vleeslike, soos met klein kinders in Christus. Ek het julle met melk gevoed, nie met vaste spys nie, want julle was nog nie daartoe in staat nie, en julle is nou nog nie daartoe in staat nie, omdat julle nog vleeslik is; want aangesien daar onder julle jaloersheid en twis en tweedrag is, is julle nie vleeslik nie en wandel julle nie na die mens nie? Want as die een sê: Ek is van Paulus; en die ander: Ek van Apollos—is julle nie vleeslik nie? Wie is Paulus dan, en wie Apollos anders as dienaars deur wie julle gelowig geword het? En dit soos die Here aan elkeen gegee het. Ek het geplant, Apollos het natgemaak, maar God het laat groei.
(1 Kor. 3:1-6)

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
(1Co 3:1-6)

Maar pas op vir julleself, dat julle harte nie miskien beswaar word deur swelgery en dronkenskap en sorge van die lewe nie, en dié dag julle nie skielik oorval nie. Want soos ‘n strik sal hy kom oor almal wat op die hele aarde woon. Waak dan en bid altyddeur, sodat julle waardig geag mag word om al hierdie dinge wat kom, te ontvlug en voor die Seun van die mens te staan.
(Luk 21:34-36)

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
(Luk 21:34-36)

Halleluja! Loof God in sy heiligdom, loof Hom in sy sterk uitspansel! Loof Hom oor sy magtige dade, loof Hom na die volheid van sy grootheid! Loof Hom met basuingeklank, loof Hom met harp en siter; loof Hom met tamboeryn en koordans, loof Hom met snarespel en fluit; loof Hom met helder simbale, loof Hom met klinkende simbale! Laat alles wat asem het, die HERE loof! Halleluja!
(Psa 150:1-6)

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
(Psa 150:1-6)

En ek het ‘n nuwe hemel en ‘n nuwe aarde gesien, want die eerste hemel en die eerste aarde het verbygegaan; en die see was daar nie meer nie. En ek, Johannes, het die heilige stad, die nuwe Jerusalem, sien neerdaal van God uit die hemel, toeberei soos ‘n bruid wat vir haar man versier is. En ek het ‘n groot stem uit die hemel hoor sê: Kyk, die tabernakel van God is by die mense, en Hy sal by hulle woon, en hulle sal sy volk wees; en God self sal by hulle wees as hulle God. En God sal al die trane van hulle oë afvee, en daar sal geen dood meer wees nie; ook droefheid en geween en moeite sal daar nie meer wees nie, want die eerste dinge het verbygegaan. En Hy wat op die troon sit, het gesê: Kyk, Ek maak alles nuut. En Hy het aan my gesê: Skryf, want hierdie woorde is waaragtig en betroubaar.
(Op. 21:1-5)

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
(Rev 21:1-5)

HERE, leer my u weg en lei my op ‘n gelyk pad, vanweë my vyande. Gee my nie oor aan die begeerte van my teëstanders nie, want valse getuies het teen my opgestaan, en hy wat geweld uitblaas. o, As ek nie geglo het dat ek die goedheid van die HERE sal sien in die land van die lewendes nie…. Wag op die Here! Wees sterk en laat jou hart sterk wees! Ja, wag op die HERE! (Ps. 27:11-14)

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
(Psa 27:11-14)

As die HERE jou God die nasies waar jy na toe gaan om hulle uit die besitting te verdrywe, voor jou uitroei, en jy hulle verdrywe en in hulle land woon, neem jou dan in ag dat jy nie, agter hulle aan, verstrik word nadat hulle voor jou uit verdelg is nie, en dat jy nie na hulle gode vra en sê nie: Hoe het hierdie nasies hulle gode gedien? —dat ek ook so kan doen. So mag jy nie handel met die HERE jou God nie; want alles wat vir die HERE ‘n gruwel is, wat Hy haat, het hulle vir hulle gode gedoen; want selfs hulle seuns en hulle dogters verbrand hulle met vuur vir hulle gode. Alles wat ek julle beveel, dit moet julle sorgvuldig hou; jy mag daar niks byvoeg en daar niks van weglaat nie. (Deut. 12:29-32)

Jy mag jou voor hulle gode nie neerbuig en hulle nie dien nie, ook mag jy nie doen na hulle werke nie; maar jy moet hulle heeltemal afbreek en hulle klippilare kort en klein slaan. (Eks. 23:24)

When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land; Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (Deu 12:29-32)

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. (Exo 23:24)

En wie is daar van julle wat ‘n dienskneg het wat ploeg of vee oppas, en as hy inkom van die veld vir hom sal sê: Kom dadelik hier aan tafel? Sal hy nie eerder vir hom sê nie: Maak vir my die aandete klaar en omgord jou en bedien my totdat ek geëet en gedrink het; en daarna kan jy eet en drink? Bedank hy daardie dienskneg, omdat hy gedoen het wat hom beveel is? Ek glo nie. So ook julle, wanneer julle alles gedoen het wat julle beveel is, sê dan: Ons is onverdienstelike diensknegte, want ons het gedoen wat ons verplig was om te doen. (Luk 17:7-10)

Die wat met die HERE twis, word verpletter; oor hulle donder Hy in die hemel; die HERE oordeel die eindes van die aarde, en Hy gee sterkte aan sy koning en verhef die horing van sy gesalfde. (1 Sam. 2:10)

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. (Luk 17:7-10)

 
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. (1Sa 2:10)

As die wêreld julle haat, moet julle weet dat hy My voor julle gehaat het. As julle van die wêreld was, sou die wêreld sy eiendom liefhê. Maar omdat julle nie van die wêreld is nie, maar Ek julle uit die wêreld uitverkies het, daarom haat die wêreld julle. Onthou die woord wat Ek vir julle gesê het: ‘n Dienskneg is nie groter as sy heer nie. As hulle My vervolg het, sal hulle jul ook vervolg. As hulle my woord bewaar het, sal hulle jul woord ook bewaar. Maar al hierdie dinge sal hulle aan julle doen ter wille van my Naam, omdat hulle Hom nie ken wat My gestuur het nie.
(Joh 15:18-21)

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
(Joh 15:18-21)
