scripture (NIV) and creed

Revelation 21:6

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.”

Philippians 4:4-8

Rejoice in the lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent and praiseworthy - think about such things.

Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Roman’s 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

Roman’s 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Roman’s 10:9-10

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Roman’s 10:13

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Hebrews 4:14-16

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet he did not sin. Let us then approach Gods throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.

Dueterronmy 6:4-6 (OT)

“Hear O Isreal, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD our God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.”

Creed

To bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and immutable principles, with a bond as strong as right itself and as lasting as humanity; To know no north, no south, no east, no west, but to know man as man, to teach that true man the world over should stand together and contend for the supremacy of good over evil; To teach not politics, but morals, not partasainship, but the recognition of true merrit wherver found; to have no narrower limits to work together for the elevation of man than the outlines of the world: These were the thoughts and hopes uppermost in the minds of the founders of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
