And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating.

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.

And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth;

and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law;

You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”

Final Instructions

Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.

he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
