MAN - know about him.
1 Chronicles 28:9
And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with
whole hearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every
heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he
will be found by you; but if you for sake him, he will reject you forever.
Psalm 103:13
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those
who fear him;
Proverbs 20:6
Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?
Proverbs 17:27
A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is
even-tempered.
Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor.
Malachi 4:6
He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the
children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a
curse.
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak.
Colossians 3:19
Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?
1 Corinthians 7:34
But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can
please his wife— and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is
concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in
both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of
this world—how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good,
not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion
to the Lord.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful;
he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are
tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
1 Corinthians 11:8-9, 11-12
For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created
for woman, but woman for man..... In the Lord, however, woman is not
independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from
man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
Galatians 3:8
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are
all one in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 5:23-33
Love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to
make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to
present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any
other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love
their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After
all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as
Christ does the church —for we are members of his body. "For this reason a
man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two
will become one flesh." [This is a profound mystery — but I am talking
about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife
as he loves himself, and the
. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the
wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the
training and instruction of the Lord.
Colossians 3:21
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
1 Timothy 3:2-7,12
Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife,
temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given
to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not all over of money.
He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with
proper respect. If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can
he take care of God's church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become
conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a
good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into
the devil's trap. A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage
his children and his household well.
1 Timothy 5:8
If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate
family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
James 1:12-13
blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the
test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love
him. When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me.” For God cannot
be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
Titus 2:2-8
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and
sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be
reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine,
but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their
husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to
be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the
word of God. Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In
everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show
integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so
that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say
about us.
1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat
them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious
gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
