him.

GEN 26:21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called

the name of it Sitnah.

GEN 26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that

morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to

come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto

him.

NUM 16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

NUM 16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to

morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be

holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

NUM 16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

NUM 16:9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath

separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to

do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the

congregation to minister unto them?

NUM 16:10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons

of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

NUM 16:11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together

against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

head.

2SA 16:10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so

let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then

say, Wherefore hast thou done so?

2SA 16:11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son,

which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this

Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and

they are all zealous of the law:

ACT 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which

are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to

circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

ACT 21:22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for

they will hear that thou art come.

ACT 21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a

vow on them;

ACT 21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them,

that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof

they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also

walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

1CO 1:7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord

Jesus Christ:

1CO 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law

one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer

yourselves to be defrauded?

1CO 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister

is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

1CO 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to

the church of God:

1CO 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity

vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

1CO 13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily

provoked, thinketh no evil;

2CO 10:1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of

Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

one another.

GAL 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual,

restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou

also be tempted.

EPH 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy

of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

EPH 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one

another in love;

PHI 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

PHI 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without

rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as

lights in the world;

COL 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of

mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

COL 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a

quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

1TH 2:7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

1TH 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the

feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

1TH 5:15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that

which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

2TH 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your

patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

2TH 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the

patient waiting for Christ.

1TI 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant,

sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

1TI 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient,

not a brawler, not covetous;

1TI 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after

righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

1TI 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto

thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many

witnesses.

2TI 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all

men, apt to teach, patient,

2TI 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God

peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

2TI 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I

pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

TIT 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in

charity, in patience.

them well in all things; not answering again;

TIT 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all

meekness unto all men.

HEB 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of

God, ye might receive the promise.

HEB 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall

see the Lord:

JAM 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and

entire, wanting nothing.

JAM 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow

to speak, slow to wrath:

JAM 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and

receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

JAM 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew

out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

JAM 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,

gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without

partiality, and without hypocrisy.

JAM 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make

peace.

JAM 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the

patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very

pitiful, and of tender mercy.

1PE 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the

good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1PE 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure

grief, suffering wrongfully.

1PE 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye

shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it

patiently, this is acceptable with God.

1PE 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,

leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1PE 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1PE 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he

threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

1PE 3:4 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.

1PE 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

1PE 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with

meekness and fear:

2PE 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to

virtue knowledge;

2PE 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to

patience godliness;

2PE 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

JUD 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed

about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but

said, The Lord rebuke thee.
