but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
For God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

For they will be slaves to him so that they experience My labor and the labor of the kingdoms of other lands.”
“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have distress. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.”
Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called and have made a good confession before many witnesses.
Endure hard times as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith.

the five Philistine lords, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
