Special recognition is given to Conard Wolf, our Minister, for covering and applying many of these Bible verses during Wednesday Night Bible Study, Sunday School and Worship Service in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
Jeff Nape, my son, gave me the Bible software and contributed his time freely in setting up the computer format.
I am very thankful to my wife, Lois Ann, for her suggestions and document review.
Finally, I was inspired by Helen Hopkins, my Junior High School and Sunday School teacher, Carrollton, Ohio.

Introduction
Top of Page
The 714* Bible verses were selected in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Each verse is in the order it appears in the Bible--New International Version (NIV). I have outlined the speaker and the key words or thought after the verses. Although Paul is listed as the speaker for Hebrews, the author is not given in the Bible text itself.
You may find the Index (pages 63-72) helpful in locating verses. The Index has twenty-two topics. A verse may be listed under more than one topic.
A Summary of Topics in the Index is listed on page 73 as a quick reference.
*Note: 714 is 2.3 per cent of the 31,173 verses in the Bible.
