Hard Times Scripture Memory

Question 1

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Answer 1

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Question 2

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Answer 2

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Question 3

1 Corinthians 13:8-13

Answer 3

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection, as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Question 4

Psalm 63:1-3

Answer 4

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

Question 5

Psalm 63:4-5

Question 6

Psalm 63:6-8

Answer 6

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

Question 7

Psalm 63:9-11

Answer 7

They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals. But the king will rejoice in the God; all who swear by God’s name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

Question 8

Matthew 26:37-38

Question 9

Hebrews 4:14-16

Answer 9

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Question 11

2 Corinthians 4:16

Answer 11

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Question 12

Hebrews 11:1

Answer 12

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Question 13

Psalm 131

Answer 13

My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.

Question 14

Jeremiah 9:23-24

Answer 14

This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.

Answer 21

“What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to resurrection from the dead.”

Question 22

Isaiah 30:15-18

Answer 22

For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “You will be delivered by returning and resting; your strength will lie in quiet confidence. But you are not willing. You say, “No! We will escape on horses” – therefore you will escape! - and “We will ride on fast horses” - but those who pursue you will be faster. One thousand flee at the threat of one, at the threat of five you will flee until you alone remain like a solitary pole on a mountaintop or a banner on a hill. Therefore the LORD is waiting to show you mercy and is rising up to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. All who wait patiently for Him are happy.
