My First Vision
43
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man’s work shall be made
manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed
by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

Corinthians 3:10-13
.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church
of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood. For I know
this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among
you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise,
speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Acts
20:28-30
.
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another;
but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of
Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him
be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him
be accursed.
Galatians 1:6-9
.
[28]
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard
in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall
be proclaimed upon the housetops. And I say unto you My friends,
Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more
that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear
Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I
say unto you, Fear Him. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,
and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs
of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more
value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:3-7
.
For it is written, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to
keep thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Luke 4:10, 11
.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God,
