In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. - Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.
- The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him. - I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
- God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
- “Can anyone hide from me in a secret place?
Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?”
says the Lord. - I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. - You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.
- He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light. - Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.
- You must faithfully keep all my commands by putting them into practice, for I am the Lord.

- Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
- Our God is in the heavens,
and he does as he wishes. - I will show how holy my great name is—the name on which you brought shame among the nations. And when I reveal my holiness through you before their very eyes, says the Sovereign Lord, then the nations will know that I am the Lord.
- But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
- We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;
but even though he is just and righteous,
he does not destroy us. - For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock? - This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
- For you, a thousand years are as a passing day,
as brief as a few night hours. - The Lord’s home reaches up to the heavens,
while its foundation is on the earth.
He draws up water from the oceans
and pours it down as rain on the land.
The Lord is his name! - And I know it is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required in the law.
- You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.
