Titus 1-3

New Living Translation

Greetings from Paul

1 This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to[a] those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. 2 This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began. 3 And now at just the right time he has re...

John 1

1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 He existed in the beginning with God.3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,[a] and his life brought light to everyone.5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.[b]

Daniel 10-12

Daniel 10–12 contains some of the most apocalyptic and prophetic material in the Old Testament, and it closely parallels themes found in Revelation and other New Testament apocalyptic passages.

Aligns with Revelation (chapters 6–19) and Jesus' words in Matthew 24

Key Themes and Connections:

* Covenant: Daniel 9...

Philippians 3

5 I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. 6 I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.

7 I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consid...
