- Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
- Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
- Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
- I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
- There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called.
- As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another. - Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
- May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. - For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.
- Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
- Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
- Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield. - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us nor forsake us.
- Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands. - Everyone comes naked from their mother’s womb,
and as everyone comes, so they depart.
They take nothing from their toil
that they can carry in their hands. - A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
- The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.
- Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
- Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is. - Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
- ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
- As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. - I will praise you with an upright heart
as I learn your righteous laws. - But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me.
Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Next verse!With image
