also be holy in all your conduct, for it is written, “You
shall be holy, for I am holy.”

he judges those that are on high?

calls them all by name.

strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was

make it good?

heaven, hallowed be your name.
...
GOD cannot be tempted — Jesus was tempted
James 1:13 No one, when tempted, should say, “I am
being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by
evil and he himself tempts no one.
Luke 4:1-2 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned
from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the
wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the
devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when
they were over, he was famished.
GOD is the Almighty — Jesus is the Son of GOD, servant, sent, appointed, anointed, approved, prophet, priest, and king of David’s throne
John 20:21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with
you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 But in fact Christ has been
raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have
died. For since death came through a human being, the
resurrection of the dead has also come through a human
being;
for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in
Christ.
But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then
at his coming those who belong to Christ.
Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom
to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and
every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies
under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.
For “God has put all things in subjection under his
feet.” But when it says, “All things are put in subjection,”
it is plain that this does not include the one who put all
things in subjection under him.
When all things are subjected to him, then the Son
himself will also be subjected to the one who put all
things in subjection under him, so that God may be all in
all.
GOD has no God — Jesus has a God
2 Corinthians 11:31 The God and Father of the Lord
Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not
lying.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is
above all and through all and in all.
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a
new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead.
John 20:17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me,
because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to
my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my
Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
[Revelation 3:12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. ESV]
