Letters to the churches (collection)

Question 1

Romans 1:20

Answer 1

There are things about God people cannot see - his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand by what God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do. NCV

Question 2

Romans 5:3-4

Answer 2

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ESV

Question 3

Question 10

1 Corinthians 6:12

Answer 10

I am allowed to do all things, but all things are not good for me to do. I am allowed to do all things but I will not let anything make me its slave. NCV

Question 11

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Answer 11

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. NIV

Question 12

2 Corinthians 6:6-10

Answer 12

We show we are servants of God by our pure lives, our understanding, patience, and kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by true love, by speaking the truth, and by God’s power. We use our right living to defend ourselves against everything. Some people honor us, but others blame us. Some people say evil things about us, but others say good things. Some people say we are liars, but we speak the truth. We are not known, but we are well known. We seem to be dying, but we continue to live. We are punished, but we are not killed. We have much sadness, but we are always rejoicing. We are poor, but we are making many people rich in faith. We have nothing, but really we have everything. NCV

Question 13

2 Corinthians 10:12

Answer 13

We do not dare to compare ourselves with those who think they are very important. They use themselves to measure themselves, and they judge themselves by what they themselves are. This shows that they know nothing. NCV

Question 14

Philippians 2:5-11

Answer 14

In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Christ himself was like God in everything. But he did not think that being equal with God was something to used for his own benefit. But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. He was born as a man and became like a servant. And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused him death - death on a cross. So God raised him to the highest place. God made his name greater than any other name so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus - everyone in heaven, on earth, and under earth. And everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and bring glory to God the Father. NCV

Question 15

Hebrews 4:12

Answer 15

Gods word is alive and working and is sharper than a double edged sword. It cut all the way into us where the soul and the spirit are joined to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings of our hearts. NCV

Question 16

Hebrews 11:1

Answer 16

Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. NCV

Question 17

Jeremiah 31:31-34

Answer 17

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
    though I was a husband to them,”
declares the Lord.
“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
    after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
    and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.
No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
    from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.” NIV

Question 18

Hebrews 12:1-3

Answer 18

We have around us many people whose lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything that would get in the way and the sin that so easily hold us back. Let us look only to Jesus , the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But he accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before him. And now he is sitting at the right side of God’s throne. Think about Jesus’ example. He held on while wicked people were doing evil things to him. So do not get tired and stop trying. NCV

Question 19

James 2:1

My dear brothers and sisters, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, never think that some people are more important than others. NCV

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deed? Can such faith save them? NIV

Question 21

James 4:12

Answer 21

There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? ESV

Question 22

1 Peter 2:11

Answer 22

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. NIV

Question 23

2 Peter 3:9

Answer 23

The Lord is not slow in doing what he promised - the way some people understand slowness. But God is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to be lost but he wants all people to change their hearts and lives. NCV
