Verses about the word of god

And Elohim said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

By the word of YHWH the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their army. He gathers like a heap the waters of the sea; he puts in storehouses the deeps. Let all the earth fear YHWH; of him let all the inhabitants of the world be afraid. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

Elohim spoke all these words, saying, “I am YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves. You shall have no other gods before me.

YHWH spoke to you from the midst of the fire. You were hearing the sound of words, but you saw no form; only a voice. He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to carry out, the ten words, and he wrote them on two tablets of stone.

For as the rain and the snow come down from the heavens and do not return there, but water the earth and make it give birth and sprout, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so will be my word that goes out from my mouth; it will not return to me empty, but it will do what pleases me, and it will prosper in that for which I sent it.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

And the Word became flesh and pitched his tent among us, and we saw his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and of truth.

A lamp to my feet is your word, and a light to my pathway.

The opening of your words gives light, giving understanding to the simple.

The instruction of YHWH is blameless, bringing back the soul; the testimony of YHWH is faithful, making wise the naive. The precepts of YHWH are upright, making glad the heart; the commandment of YHWH is clean, giving light to the eyes. The fear of YHWH is pure, enduring forever; the rules of YHWH are truth; they are righteous altogether. More desirable than gold, and than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and than the drippings of the honeycomb.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the instruction a light, and the reproofs of correction are the way of life,

A voice says, “Call out.” And he said, “What shall I call out?” “All flesh is grass, and all its loyal love is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of YHWH blows on it; surely the people is grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our Elohim will stand forever.”

He afflicted you and let you hunger and fed you the manna, which you did not know and your fathers did not know, in order to make you know that not by bread alone does a human being live, but by everything that comes out of the mouth of YHWH does a human being live.

But he answered and said, “It is written, ‘A person will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out through the mouth of God.’”

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

And all the people gathered as one man into the square that is in front of the Water Gate, and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which YHWH had commanded Israel. So Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, from man to woman, and all who could understand to listen, on the first day of the seventh month. And he read in it before the square that is in front of the Water Gate, from the light until the middle of the day, in front of the men and the women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were toward the book of the law. And Ezra the scribe stood on a tower of wood that they had made for this; and beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, at his right; and at his left Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, Meshullam. And Ezra opened the book before the eyes of all the people, for he was above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up. And Ezra blessed YHWH, the great Elohim; and all the people answered, “Amen, amen,” lifting up their hands; and they bowed and prostrated themselves before YHWH with their faces to the ground. And Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites were making the people understand the law, and the people were in their place. And they read in the book, in the law of Elohim, clearly, and gave the sense, and they understood the reading.

Now this is the parable: the seed is the word of God. And those along the path are the ones who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. And those on the rock are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; they believe for a while, and in a time of testing fall away. And what fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked by worries and riches and pleasures of life, and they do not bring fruit to maturity. But that in the good soil, these are the ones who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, hold it fast and bear fruit with perseverance.

But he said, “Rather, happy are those who hear the word of God and keep it.”

“So everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and struck that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking closely at the face he was born with in a mirror; for he looked at himself and has gone away and at once forgot what kind of man he was. But the one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and remains in it, becoming not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be happy in his doing.

Hear, Israel: YHWH our Elohim, YHWH is one. You shall love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These words that I am commanding you today shall be on your heart. You shall repeat them to your children and talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

For this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it far away. It is not in the heavens, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to the heavens and get it for us and make us hear it, so that we may do it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will cross over for us to the other side of the sea and get it for us and make us hear it, so that we may do it?” For the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

This book of the instruction shall not depart from your mouth, and you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosper, and then you will act wisely.

Happy is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of scoffers; but in the instruction of YHWH is his delight, and on his instruction he meditates by day and night. He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, that gives its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and all that he does prospers.

How will a young man keep pure his path? By keeping it according to your word. With all my heart I have sought you; do not let me stray from your commandments. In my heart I have treasured up your saying, so that I may not sin against you.

Your words were found, and I ate them; and your word became to me a joy and the gladness of my heart, for your name is called over me, YHWH Elohim Tsevaot.

But Mary was keeping all these words, pondering them in her heart.

Let the word of the Messiah dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
