Ezekiel 36:16-38

16 And the Word of YAHUVEH was to me, saying,
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt on their land, they even defiled it by their ways and by their doings. As the defilement of woman's impurity, their way was before Me.
18 So I poured out My fury on them, because of the blood that they had poured out on the land, and for their idols by which they defiled it.
19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they were sown among all the earth; I judged them by their way and by their doings.
20 And when they entered into the nations, there where they went, they even profaned My holy name, by saying to them, These are the people of YAHUVEH, and they are gone out of His land.
21 But I had pity for My holy name which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, there where they went.
22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, So says Adonai YAHUVEH: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but only for My holy name which you profaned among the nations, there where you went.
23 And I will sanctify My great name which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them. And the nations shall know that I am YAHUVEH, declares Adonai YAHUVEH, when I am sanctified in you, in their eyes.
24 For I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all the lands and bring you into your land.
25 Then I will sprinkle pure waters on you, and you shall be purified. I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your idols.
26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh. (Jer 31:31-34)
27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them. (Joel 2:28)
28 And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be a people to Me, and I will be Elohim to you.
29 I will also save you from all your defilements, and I will call for grain and increase it, and I will not put a famine on you. (Joel 2:23-26)
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, in order that you will not any more receive the disgrace of famine among the nations.
31 And you will remember your evil ways and your doings that were not good, and you will despise yourselves in your own eyes for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Let it be known to you that I am not doing this for your sake, states Adonai YAHUVEH. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: In the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built. (Lev 16:30, Is 49:8, Is 58:12)
34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather than being a ruin in the eyes of all passing by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated has become like the garden of Eden. And the wasted and desolated and razed cities are fortified and inhabited. (Joel 2:3, Is 51:3)
36 And the nations left all around you shall know that I, YAHUVEH, built the razed places and planted that which was desolated. I, YAHUVEH have spoken it and will do it.
37 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: Yet for this I will be sought by the house of Israel, to act for them. I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 Like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the wasted cities shall be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am YAHUVEH.

1 Corinthians 3:11-18


11 For no one is able to lay any other foundation beside the One having been laid, who is YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH.
12 And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, straw,
13 the work of each will be revealed; for the Day will make it known, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire will prove the work of each, what sort it is.
14 If the work of anyone which he built survives, he will receive his reward.
15 And the one whose work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he will be delivered, but so as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you are a sanctuary of YAHUVEH, and the Spirit of YAHWEH dwells in you4?
17 And whoever defiles the sanctuary of YAHUVEH, YAHUVEH will destroy; for the sanctuary of YAHUVEH is holy, which you are.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks to be wise among you in this age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise.

2 Corinthians 9:6-11


6 But remember this: the one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one sowing generously will also reap generously.
7 Each one as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity, for YAHUVEH loves a cheerful giver.
8 And Elohim is able to make all grace to abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self sufficiency, you may abound to every good work;
9 even as it has been written, "He has distributed liberally, He has given to the poor, His righteousness abides forever." (Psa. 112:9)
10 Now He that supplies seed to the Sower and bread for eating, may He supply and multiply your seed and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11 in everything you being enriched to all sincerity, which works out thanksgiving to YAHUVEH through us.
