- To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,”
and to reflect only after making vows. - For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
- He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength. - Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. - Do not swerve to the right or to the left;
turn your foot away from evil. - He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God? - Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to do it. - Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! - Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke? - I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.
- Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.
- So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
- For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
- And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
- I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain! - 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.
- If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!
- Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
- Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.
- But the steadfast love of the Lord is
from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments. - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
- So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
