Matthew 7:1

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

NLT:  “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.”

John 17:3

“Now this is eternal life:  that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

NLT:  For you have given him authority over everyone.  He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.

Romans 9:20-21

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God?  “Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you made me like this?’  “Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?”

NLT:  No, don’t say that.  Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God?  Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?”  When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? 

1 Timothy 6:15

Which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

NLT: For at just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of kings and Lord of all lords.
