Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Speaking of the grace of Christ, we see in Apostle Paul it enables us to work harder than others according to the grace given us, Gods grace is not in vain, His will is His strength is perfected in us, for us to find help in time of need, and if we pretend to believe in the grace of Christ we turn it into lust and when lust is finished sin and death..
1 Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Psalm 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
Psalm 37:39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Adam, it’s one thing for a real believer to be subject to persecution. True believers have whole hearted commitment to the truth of the gospel (something you lack and never want to explain).
On the other hand, heretics and false religious folk, like yourself, cry all the time about “persecution” because they don’t wanna be accountable for what they say

"It would seem you might, at least, have hit squarely on one salvation verse in your lengthy copy and paste posts.
You came >>closest<< with one verse you quoted from Romans.
Adam, there’s a difference between those verses using similar terminology but written for a different purpose as indicated in the contexts of each."
the Holy scriptures are able to make us wise to salvation, all scripture is for instruction in righteousness, to be perfectly furnished unto all good works....
2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
By the knowledge of Christ we gain strength of salvation, by the remission of the sins, to justify us..
Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Isaiah 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
We hear the word of Christ, and believe on Him or we be condemned if we hate the light and do evil., if our works are wrought in God, then we have come to the light..
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Not as littledavid says, that only the certain verse he picks are for salvation, but by what Christ says and the works He did are what saves, as they bear witness of Him, the same as evil bears witness there is no eternal life in them..
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John 5:33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
John 29:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his
Matthew 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
littledavid and everybody who refers to the word of God as if it has less or no purpose, and every single time they speak of Gods word as flooding or copying and pasting as if that is making Gods word of no effect, will answer for every idle word they spoke on judgement day, and yes by our words we are justified or condemned..
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Adam, congratulations. Well, kinda sorta
Out of your lengthily cut-chop-and-paste-posts, 3 to be exact, supposedly about salvation—you’ve only come up only with 2-3 verses that kind of allude to salvation.
Trouble is, an informed person would have referred to biblical passages that >>directly<< address salvation.
Adam, it’s really no big trick coming up with verses on salvation. This is the Bible we’re talking about!!!
So here’s a helpful hint.
Some Bibles, maybe yours included, has a table of contents and an index. You’ve probably never used either, based on the fact you can’t find verses. But perhaps for the first time make salvation something important to know about and let’s see if you can find “salvation” passages in the Bible and become saved.
Another tip, look up salvation verses on the net!! And then—do what you do best—cut-chop-copy and paste here again.
So.
Why don’t we give you a 4th cut-chop-and-paste-post opportunity?! Then, you can tell people you finally know the verses about salvation and how to get saved—then, please—obey them !!!
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Salvation for the ones of darkness is 2-3 verses which speak of darkness and transformation, and to throw away the whole of the bible to keep their words of darkness, as the word is light, and light is salvation, darkness is the dust that is left over..
Isaiah 50:11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
