Lawyer


Acts 25:11-12. “If I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!” Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”

Acts 25:14-16. Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him. To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.”

Acts 25:26-27. After examination, I may have something to write. For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.

Acts 26:32. Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

Hebrews 13:6. With good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

James 2:5-9. Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well. But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

John 7:50-51. Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, “Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

John 14:16-17. “I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever — the Spirit of truth.”

Matthew 5:25. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

Matthew 28:20. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
