Bible
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ...
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. ...
(Genesis 1:1, 31 (to 1st .))
¶ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: ...
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
(Isaiah 45:5 (to 1st :), 12)
The works of the LORD are great, ...
His work is honourable and glorious: ...
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, ...
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
(Psalms 111:2 (to ,), 3 (to :), 6 (to ,), 7, 8)
¶ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
(Genesis 26:6)
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. ...
... ¶ And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; ...
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: ...
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: ...
And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. And he went up from thence to Beer–sheba. ...
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: ...
(Genesis 26:12–15, 17, 18 (to ;), 19, 20 (to :), 21 (to :), 22, 23, 25 (to :))
And let us not be weary in well-doing: ...
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
(Galatians 6:9 (to :), 16)
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
(Psalms 71:1, 2)
... And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran. And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; ...
... ¶ And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep. And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel. Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David. ...
... ¶ And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master. Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be? So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings. And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. ...
... ¶ But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them. But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields: They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. ...
... ¶ Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. ...
And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them. ...
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. ...
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord. ...
... ¶ And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, ...
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
(I Samuel 25:1–3 5th And (to 2nd ;), 4–8, 10–13 (to 1st .), 14–16, 18, 19 (to 1st .), 20, 23, 24, 27, 32–34 (to 4th ,), 35)
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
(John 15:12)
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
(Romans 13:8)
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. ¶ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
(Matthew 9:35, 36)
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. ...
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
(Matthew 10:1, 20)
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
(I Corinthians 12:4–6)
... the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
(II Corinthians 3:17 the)
... as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: ...
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; ...
(I Corinthians 2:9 as, 10 (to :), 12 (to ;))
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
(I Chronicles 29:11)
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
(Zephaniah 3:17)
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
(Psalms 147:5)
XX. Mind is the divine Principle, Love, and can produce nothing unlike the eternal Father-Mother, God.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 335:25–26)
The foundation of mortal discord is a false sense of man’s origin.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 262:27–28 (to 1st .))
There can be but one creator, who has created all.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 263:20 (only))
There is divine authority for believing in the superiority of spiritual power over material resistance.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 134:28)
Because man-made systems insist that man becomes sick and useless, suffers and dies, all in consonance with the laws of God, are we to believe it? Are we to believe an authority which denies God’s spiritual command relating to perfection, — an authority which Jesus proved to be false? He did the will of the Father. He healed sickness in defiance of what is called material law, but in accordance with God’s law, the law of Mind.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 168:15)
Only the action of Truth, Life, and Love can give harmony.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 169:27)
Mind’s control over the universe, including man, is no longer an open question, but is demonstrable Science.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 171:12–13)
Consciousness, as well as action, is governed by Mind, — is in God, the origin and governor of all that Science reveals. Material sense has its realm apart from Science in the unreal. Harmonious action proceeds from Spirit, God. Inharmony has no Principle; ...
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 480:10–15 (to ;))
Man is tributary to God, Spirit, and to nothing else. God’s being is infinity, freedom, harmony, and boundless bliss. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” Like the archpriests of yore, man is free “to enter into the holiest,” — the realm of God.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 481:2)
In divine Science, God and the real man are inseparable as divine Principle and idea.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 476:4)
Where the spirit of God is, and there is no place where God is not, evil becomes nothing, — the opposite of the something of Spirit.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 480:2–5)
... Spirit is all-knowing; this precludes the need of believing. Matter cannot believe, and Mind understands.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 487:15–17 Spirit (to 1st .))
... faith relies upon an understood Principle. This Principle makes whole the diseased, and brings out the enduring and harmonious phases of things.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 487:30–1 faith)
Now is the time for so-called material pains and material pleasures to pass away, for both are unreal, because impossible in Science. To break this earthly spell, mortals must get the true idea and divine Principle of all that really exists and governs the universe harmoniously.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 39:22–27)
The universe of Spirit reflects the creative power of the divine Principle, ...
Infinite Mind creates and governs all, from the mental molecule to infinity. This divine Principle of all expresses Science and art throughout His creation, and the immortality of man and the universe.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 507:15–16 (to 1st ,), 24–28)
The evidence of the physical senses often reverses the real Science of being, and so creates a reign of discord, — assigning seeming power to sin, sickness, and death; but the great facts of Life, rightly understood, defeat this triad of errors, contradict their false witnesses, and reveal the kingdom of heaven, — the actual reign of harmony on earth.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 122:1–7)
God never ordained a material law to annul the spiritual law. If there were such a material law, it would oppose the supremacy of Spirit, God, and impugn the wisdom of the creator.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 273:21–24)
Divine Science is absolute, and permits no half-way position in learning its Principle and rule — establishing it by demonstration.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 274:23–25)
The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind, — that God is Love, and therefore He is divine Principle.
To grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is. Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one, — and are the Scriptural names for God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause, and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 275:6–17)
When the divine precepts are understood, they unfold the foundation of fellowship, in which one mind is not at war with another, but all have one Spirit, God, one intelligent source, in accordance with the Scriptural command: “Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Man and his Maker are correlated in divine Science, and real consciousness is cognizant only of the things of God.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 276:4)
If God is admitted to be the only Mind and Life, there ceases to be any opportunity for sin and death. When we learn in Science how to be perfect even as our Father in heaven is perfect, thought is turned into new and healthy channels, — towards the contemplation of things immortal and away from materiality to the Principle of the universe, including harmonious man.
... Discord is the nothingness named error. Harmony is the somethingness named Truth.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 276:17, 26 Discord)
Love fulfils the law of Christian Science, and nothing short of this divine Principle, understood and demonstrated, can ever furnish the vision of the Apocalypse, open the seven seals of error with Truth, or uncover the myriad illusions of sin, sickness, and death. Under the supremacy of Spirit, it will be seen and acknowledged that matter must disappear.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 572:12)
... God, the divine Principle of harmony, is ever with men, and they are His people.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 573:15–17 God)
... God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love. ...
... Is there more than one God or Principle?
... There is not. Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 465:9 God, 16 Is, 17–1 There)
