Rom. 2:6-9 - He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,

Prov. 23:23 - Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Col. 1:5-6 -5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,

1 John 2:21- I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

Heb. 10:26 - For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

2 Tim. 2:15 - Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Eph. 6:14 -  Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

1 Pet. 1:22 -Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

3 John 1:3 - For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth.

Truth is Perceivable

John 18:37-38; cf. - Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”

After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.

Mat. 27:18 - For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.

1 Tim. 2:3-4 - This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 Tim. 4:3 - who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

2 Tim. 2:25 - correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,

2 Pet. 1:12 -Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

1 John 2:21 - I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

Psa. 119:79 - Let those who fear you turn to me,    that they may know your testimonies.

Psa. 125 - Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,    which cannot be moved, but abides forever.2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,    so the Lord surrounds his people,    from this time forth and forevermore.3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest    on the land allotted to the righteous,lest the righteous stretch out    their hands to do wrong.4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,    and to those who are upright in their hearts!5 But those who turn aside to their crooked ways    the Lord will lead away with evildoers!    Peace be upon Israel!

John 14:6-7 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
