is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? Fight the good fight, and finished your course, keep the faith. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war with the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. And to cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Jesus said: To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone, a new name is written, which no man knows except him that receives it. He that overcomes and keep my works to the end, to him will I give power over the nations. To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. The second death will not hurt him that overcomes. He that overcomes will be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out no more. And I will write on him my new name, the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God.

6. The Good Wife

6. The Good Wife

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts in her, so that he will have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax and works willingly with her hands. She is like a cargo ship, bringing her food from afar. Early she rises and gives food to her household, and a portion to her servants. She considers a field and buys it, and with the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. She girds her loins with strength and strengthened her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her candle does not go out by night. She lays her hands on the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretches out her hand to the poor; yes, she reaches forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes fine linen and sells it and deliverers girdles to the merchant. Strength and honor are her clothing, and she will rejoice in time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looked well to the ways of her household and eat not the bread of idleness. Her children wake up and call her blessed even her husband also praises her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain but a woman that fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates. In like manner women adorn yourselves in modest apparel, restrained by shame and sobriety, and not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or costly outfits. But with which become women professing godliness with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed then Eve. For Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the sin. But she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of the Lord. Wives be in subjection to your own husbands, that if any obey not the word, they without the word be won as he watches your chaste conversation combined with fear. Let your adorning not be the outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel, but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband, but she that makes shame is as rottenness in his bones. Gracious women retain honor and strong men retain riches. Do men compete with women? Of course not. It’s not in their make-up to do so. Men compete with men, and men compete with the curse of their environment to subdue it. For after this manner holy women of old also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, you husband dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life that your prayers be not hindered. House and riches are the inheritance of fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord. Let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience as also the law says. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

What? Did the word of God come out from you, or to you only? If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man knows it not, let him be ignorant. Gracious women retain honor and strong men riches. Speak the things which become sound doctrine. That aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, and in patience. And the older women in their behavior reflect holiness, not false accusers, not given too much wine, teachers of good things. That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, and to love their children. To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God is not blasphemed. Likewise, young men should be sober-minded and, in all things, showing yourself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity with sound speech that cannot be condemned and that is otherwise may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

7. Single, Married Or Divorced

7. Single, Married Or Divorced

Being single is both a blessing and a challenge. God saw that it was not good that the man should be alone. So, he made Eve to be a helpmate to Adam. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on him, and while he was sleeping, took one of his ribs, and covered up his flesh like a surgeon. And when Adam saw her, he said, this is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh, she will be called a woman. Therefore, will a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife and they will be one flesh. And both were naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.

It is good for a man not to touch a woman. So, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to the wife due benevolence, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife has not power of her own body, but the husband, and likewise the husband has not power of his own body, but his wife. Defraud not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempts you for your inconsistency. I speak by permission, and not by command. I wish that all men were like I am, but every man has his own gift of God. To the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they remain like me. But if they cannot contain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn.

And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, let not the wife depart from her husband. But and if she leaves, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband and let not the husband put away his wife. And this I say, not the Lord if any brother has a wife that believes not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman who has a husband that believes not, and if he is happy to stay with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now are they are holy. But if the unbelieving departs, let him depart, a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. For how do you know if you will save your wife or husband? But as God has distributed to every man, as he has called everyone, so let him walk.
