"Israel, remember this! The LORD ---and the LORD alone---is our God.

"People of Israel, you are my witnesses; I chose you to be my servant, so that you would know me and believe in me and understand that I am the only God. Besides me there is no other god; there never was and never will be.

The LORD, who rules and protects Israel, the LORD Almighty, has this to say: "I am the first, the last, the only God; there is no other god but me.

Do not be afraid, my people! You know that from ancient times until now I have predicted all that would happen, and you are my witnesses. Is there any other god? Is there some powerful god I never heard of ?"

I do this so that everyone from one end of the world to the other may know that I am the LORD and that there is no other god.

Come and present your case in court; let the defendants consult one another. Who predicted long ago what would happen? Was it not I, the LORD, the God who saves his people? There is no other god.

"Turn to me now and be saved, people all over the world! I am the only God there is.

Remember what happened long ago; acknowledge that I alone am God and that there is no one else like me.

Then the LORD will be king over all the earth; everyone will worship him as God and know him by the same name.

Jesus replied, "The most important one is this: 'Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.

And eternal life means to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

God is one, and he will put the Jews right with himself on the basis of their faith, and will put the Gentiles right through their faith.

So then, about eating the food offered to idols: we know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist; we know that there is only the one God.

yet there is for us only one God, the Father, who is the Creator of all things and for whom we live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live.

But a go-between is not needed when only one person is involved; and God is one.

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

there is one God and Father of all people, who is Lord of all, works through all, and is in all.

For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus,

For some godless people have slipped in unnoticed among us, persons who distort the message about the grace of our God in order to excuse their immoral ways, and who reject Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord. Long ago the Scriptures predicted the condemnation they have received.

You will be doing the right thing if you obey the law of the Kingdom, which is found in the scripture, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself."

The LORD answered, "What right do you have to be angry?"

But God said to him, "What right do you have to be angry about the plant?" Jonah replied, "I have every right to be angry---angry enough to die!"

And Jesus continued, "You have a clever way of rejecting God's law in order to uphold your own teaching.

At once they screamed, "What do you want with us, you Son of God? Have you come to punish us before the right time?"

"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Are you here to destroy us? I know who you are---you are God's holy messenger!"

and screamed in a loud voice, "Jesus, Son of the Most High God! What do you want with me? For God's sake, I beg you, don't punish me!"

"Ah! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Are you here to destroy us? I know who you are: you are God's holy messenger!"

She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God! They announce to you how you can be saved!"

But the evil spirit said to them, "I know Jesus, and I know about Paul; but you---who are you?"

But as Paul went on discussing about goodness, self-control, and the coming Day of Judgment, Felix was afraid and said, "You may leave now. I will call you again when I get the chance."

Remember the angels who did not stay within the limits of their proper authority, but abandoned their own dwelling place: they are bound with eternal chains in the darkness below, where God is keeping them for that great Day on which they will be condemned.

He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent---that is, the Devil, or Satan---and chained him up for a thousand years.

The angel threw him into the abyss, locked it, and sealed it, so that he could not deceive the nations any more until the thousand years were over. After that he must be set loose for a little while.

Then the Devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
