Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

Galatians 6:9Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.1 Peter 3:14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”1 Peter 4:19So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.Matthew 26:39Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”Genesis 39:21the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.Matthew 26:42A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”1 Peter 2:15For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.1 Peter 2:20How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.Acts 21:14When he would not be dissuaded, we fell silent and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”1 Peter 4:15Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.Job 36:21Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.1 Samuel 25:21Now David had just finished saying, “In vain I have protected all that belonged to this man in the wilderness.
