"God was manifest in
the flesh"
Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way
before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to
his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight
in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
[19] Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing
to make her a public example, was minded to put her away
privily.
[20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of
the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son
of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his
name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
[22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
[23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God with us.
[24] Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
[25] And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn
son: and he called his name JESUS.
Luke 1:30-47
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found
favour with God.
[31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
[32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the
Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his
father David:
[33] And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
his kingdom there shall be no end.
[34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?
[35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be
born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
[36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived
a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who
was called barren.
[37] For with God nothing shall be impossible.
[38] And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto
me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
[39] And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill
country with haste, into a city of Juda;
[40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
Elisabeth.
[41] And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the
salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth
was filled with the Holy Ghost:
[42] And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
[43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me?
[44] For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
[45] And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
[46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
[47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt
thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto
you.

Abraham was, I am.

burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
John 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold
the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Philippians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God
was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
received up into glory.
Luke 9:20
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
said, The Christ of God.
1 John 3:16
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his
life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren.
John 2:19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.
[20] Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[21] But he spake of the temple of his body.
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
2 Corinthians 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
[20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
[21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.
1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but)
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
John 14:8
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.
[9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Job 13:7
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
[8] Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
[9] Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man
mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
[10] He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept
persons.
John 8:24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
[25] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto
them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
[26] I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that
sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I
have heard of him.
[27] They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
[2] Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
[3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin
is the transgression of the law.
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins;
and in him is no sin.
1 John 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is
the transgression of the law.
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death
by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:
Psalm 51:5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus:
[25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith
in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of
sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
[26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he
might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in
Jesus.
[27] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of
works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
[28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith
without the deeds of the law.
[29] Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the
Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek.
[17] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith
to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:14
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?
[15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is
written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
1 Corinthians 15:1
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
stand;
[2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
[3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures;
[4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.
1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Luke 8:11
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
James 1:18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which
is able to save your souls.
