Philippians 3
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.

Colossians 2:8-14
Colossians 2:8-9 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Philosophy is the attempt to reason a knowledge of God and his ways without studying his […]
2 Peter 1:20Private interpretation
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in […]
Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35 It is often asked where the quote “It is more blessed to give than to receive” […]

And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:7 The only indication we have suggests that Paul was what we would call legally […]
2 Samuel 21:19 – “the brother of”
And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 2 Samuel 21:19 There are those that use the fact that the phrase “the brother of” in 2 Samuel […]
Genesis 3:3
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Genesis 3:3 The Bible does not say specifically what the forbidden fruit is but a grape might just fit the bill. Numbers 6:3-4 […]
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15 Women do not have seed, men do. So if a woman is going to give birth of her own seed it would be a virgin […]
Longsuffering
How would you define Long suffering? But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 Longsuffering is to patiently put up with for a goodly amount of time, to either give one enough rope to hang oneself or enough time […]
Galatians 5:22-23Fruit of the Spirit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Ecclesiastes 6:9
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 6:9 It is better to be content with what you have, what is in your sight, than to be constantly lusting after what you do not have, e.g., the grass is always greener […]
Amos 5:4-21
This is a bit less than a verse-by-verse commentary, but It will provide the general idea. The Lord is telling Israel to stop sinning and not to seek the idolatrous and evil ways of Bethel, Gilgal, or Beersheb, but to seek him that they may live . Amos 5:4 For thus saith the LORD unto […]
