Luke 8:4-9 "And when much people were gathered together, and were come
to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 5. A sower went out to
sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden
down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6. And some fell upon a
rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked
moisture. 7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with
it, and choked it. 8. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and
bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He
that hath [present active] ears to hear [present active],
let him hear [present active]. 9. And his disciples asked
him, saying, What might this parable be?"
Hebrews 5:13-14
"For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word
of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14. But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use
have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
2 Timothy 3:15-17
"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16. All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17. That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works."

[present active] the word of God, and keep [present
active] it."

thoughts and intents of the heart."

Israel. 25. And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think
ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me,
whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. 26. Men
and brethren, children [sons] of the stock of
Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is
the word of this salvation (kingdom of God) sent."
Acts 13:44-48
"And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to
hear the word of God. 45. But when the Jews saw the
multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which
were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. 46. Then Paul and
Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God
should first have been spoken to you (Israel): but seeing ye put
it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of
everlasting [agelasting, (kingdom age)] life, lo, we turn to
the Gentiles. 47. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I
have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. 48. And when the Gentiles heard
this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord [God,
ASV, B, D, al], : and as many as were ordained to eternal life
believed."

And they spake unto him the word of the Lord [God,
Nestles-24] (mysteries of the kingdom of God), and to all (the
saved) that were in his house. 33. And he took them the same hour
of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and
all (that received the word of God) his, straightway."
1 Thessalonians
2:11-13 "As ye know how
we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth
his children, 12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called
you unto his kingdom and glory. 13. For this cause also thank we
God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye
heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is
in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that
believe [present active participle]."

enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the (ministry of) Holy Ghost, 5. And have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world [age,
kingdom age] to come, 6. If they shall fall away, to renew them
again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh, and put him to an open shame."
