  • wholesale jerseys In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1).
  • Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4).
  • So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17 NASB).
  • Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17).
