1 Samuel 7:3-13

Back 1

1Sa 7:3 Then Samuel told the whole house of Israel, "If you're returning to the LORD with all your heart, then remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, direct your hearts back to the LORD, and serve him only. Then he will deliver you from the control of the Philistines."
1Sa 7:4 So the Israelis removed the Baals and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
1Sa 7:5 Samuel said, "Bring all Israel together at Mizpah, and I'll pray to the LORD on your behalf."
1Sa 7:6 So they came together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out in the LORD's presence. On that day they fasted there and said, "We have sinned against the LORD." Then Samuel judged the Israelis at Mizpah.
1Sa 7:7 When the Philistines heard that the Israelis had gathered at Mizpah, the Philistine lords came up against Israel. When the Israelis heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.
1Sa 7:8 The Israelis told Samuel, "Don't stop crying out to the LORD our God for us that he may deliver us from the hand of the Philistines."
1Sa 7:9 Then Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Samuel cried out to the LORD on behalf of Israel, and the LORD answered him.
1Sa 7:10 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines approached to attack Israel. But that day the LORD thundered against the Philistines and threw them into panic, and they were defeated before Israel.
1Sa 7:11 The men of Israel went out from Mizpah, pursued the Philistines, and struck them down as far as a point below Beth-car.
1Sa 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, placed it between Mizpah and Shen and named it Ebenezer. He said, "The LORD has helped us this far."
1Sa 7:13 The Philistines were subdued, and they did not continue to enter the territory of Israel. The LORD continued to oppose the Philistines all during Samuel's life time.

Exodus 34:5-15

Back 2

Exo 34:5 The LORD came down in a cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
Exo 34:6 The LORD passed in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and filled with gracious love and truth.
Exo 34:7 He graciously loves thousands, and forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin. But he does not leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the ancestors on their children, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation."
Exo 34:8 Moses quickly bowed to the ground and prostrated himself in worship.
Exo 34:9 He said, "If I've found favor in your sight, LORD, please, LORD, walk among us. Certainly this is an obstinate people, but pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your own inheritance."
Exo 34:10 Then the LORD said, "Now I'm going to make a covenant. Before all your people I'll do miraculous deeds that haven't been done in all the earth or in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the LORD, for it's an awesome thing that I'll do with you.
Exo 34:11 Obey what I am commanding you today. I'll drive out from before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Exo 34:12 Be very careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, so they won't be a snare among you.
Exo 34:13 Rather, you are to tear down their altars, you are to smash their sacred pillars, and you are to cut down their sacred poles—
Exo 34:14 indeed, you are not to bow down in worship to any other god, because the LORD's name is Jealous—he's a jealous God—
Exo 34:15 Otherwise, you may make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and when they prostitute themselves with their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, someone may invite you and then you may eat some of their sacrifices.

2nd Corinthians 6:14-18

Back 4

2Co 6:14 Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. Can right and wrong be partners? Can light have anything in common with darkness?
2Co 6:15 Can Christ agree with the devil? Can a believer share life with an unbeliever?
2Co 6:16 Can God's temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people."
2Co 6:17 The Lord says, "Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you."
2Co 6:18 The Lord Almighty says, "I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters."
