God bless!

Galatians 4

  28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
  29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born
after the Spirit, even so it is now.
  30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son:
for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
  31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Galatians 5

  1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and
be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
  2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit
you nothing.
  3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor
to do the whole law.
  4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by
the law; ye are fallen from grace.
  5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
  6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor
uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
  7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
  8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
  9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
  10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise
minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
  11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer
persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
  12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
  13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for
an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
  14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
  15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed
one of another.
  16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of
the flesh.
  17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would.
  18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
  19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
  20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies,
  21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I
tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Luke 7

  36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he
went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
  37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that
Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of
ointment,
  38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with
tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed them with the ointment.
  39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within
himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what
manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
  40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto
thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
  41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five
hundred pence, and the other fifty.
  42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me
therefore, which of them will love him most?
  43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And
he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
  44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I
entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath
washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
  45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not
ceased to kiss my feet.
  46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my
feet with ointment.
  47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she
loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
  48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
  49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is
this that forgiveth sins also?
  50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Luke 8

  1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and
village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the
twelve were with him,
  2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,
Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
  3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others,
which ministered unto him of their substance.
