Bill Campbell's New and Old Testiment readings

A series of scriptures for Lamplighters provided by Bill Campbell showing what the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments have to say about what some may see as a topic relevant to each of us today:

1.   But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.  Leviticus 19:34

2.   Deuteronomy 10: 19 You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

3.   Leviticus 19:34 The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

4.   Matthew 5:43-44 You have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy’. But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you.

5.   Matthew 25:40 Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.

6.   Numbers 15:16 (NRSV)   16 You and the alien who resides with you shall have the same law and the same ordinance.

7.   Leviticus 19:33 (NRSV)   33 When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien.

8.   Numbers 15:16 (NRSV)   16 You and the alien who resides with you shall have the same law and the same ordinance.

9.   Hebrews 13:2 (NRSV)   2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Thank you Bill.

Numbers 23:19

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?Numbers 23:19

Psalms 62:5-8

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Psalms 62:5-8

2 Corinthians 8:9

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.2 Corinthians 8:9

Matthew 20:26-28

Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.Matthew 20:26-28

Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.Proverbs 6:16-19
