need help finding a verse

[MzSnowleopard]

ever have one of those times? you need to find a specific verse- you know it's in the Bible - you want to go right to it, instantly, and you can't find it!

I need to add the book / chapter / verse to an text image I use in my cafepress shop.

I know it's in there- but for the life of me- I can't remember where. I am getting so frustrated over this.
I know I found it in my own Bible and have seen it on the net- but now I can't find it. Can some one please help me?

"The Lord helps those who abide in Him."

Try this:

PS 37:40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him. (NIV)

nope that's not it. Thanks though

I'm getting doubtful that it is actually in the Bible.

I went to BibleGateway and searched for that phrase in every English version they have, no matches.

These are the closest I could find to what you are asking for. I looked up all verses with the words "god" and "abide" in them in about 26 English versions and these are the best I found.

NRS 1 John 4:16 So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
NRS 2 John 1:9 Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God; whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
NAU Psalm 61:7 He will (1)abide (a)before God forever; Appoint (b)lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.
ESV 2 John 1:9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.

 

[DesertScroll]

"The Lord helps those who abide in Him."

These might be the passages you are looking for:

I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.

John 15:4-9 (NRSV)

BibleGateway has never come through for me- so I don't use them.

I'm beginning to wonder if I didn't just dream the whole thing- I has been so certain that it was in there.
I checked http://www.bible.com/ which has never failed me- and even they don't have it.

So now I'm wondering where this came from.

MzSnowleopard - it might have been a word specifically to you to bless or encourage you. The fact that several verses have been offered that are similar but not the same leads me to believe that the Holy Spirit GAVE you that word - it's scriptural but not in the Bible per se.

 

[MzSnowleopard]

That makes complete sense to me-

Thank you

The biblegateway is helpful though it is not extremely helpful.

shameless plug for crosswire.org. Free bible software (for non-royalty translation) for linux, mac, and windows. I use the GnomeSword variant for Linux and find it very useful.
