Truth

[JR]

suggested midi - Do You Know Where You're Going?)

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. And thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. He that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
