- Who among you is wise and understanding? Prove by your good life that your works are done with the humility that comes from wisdom.
- Whoever gains wisdom loves his own soul;
one who cherishes understanding will prosper. - Commit your way to the Lord;
place your trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
and the justice of your cause, like the noonday. - So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own.
- For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
- Let no one regard you with contempt because of your youth, but serve as an example to the believers in your speech and conduct, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
- Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may show yourselves blameless and beyond reproach, children of God without spot in the midst of an evil and depraved generation, among which you shine like lights in the world as you hold fast tenaciously to the word of life.
- This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us exult and rejoice in it. - Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
- Now we know that if the earthly tent in which we live is destroyed, we have a dwelling prepared for us by God, a dwelling in the heavens, not made with human hands, that will be eternal.
- Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. - The heart is more deceitful than any other thing,
and it is also perverse.
Who can uncover its secrets?
I, the Lord, search the heart
and probe the mind
to reward all according to their conduct
and as their deeds deserve. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
but cherish my commandments in your heart,
for they will bring you length of days,
more years of life, and an abundance of prosperity. - He has made everything suitable for its time, and he has given men a sense of past and future, but they never have the slightest comprehension of what God has wrought from beginning to end.
- God’s love was revealed to us in this way:
God sent his only-begotten Son into the world
so that we might have life through him. - “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not allow myself to be dominated by anything.
- For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
- Ensure that the path you tread is level,
and then your ways will be sure. - Therefore, heed my words. Do not be concerned about your life and what you will have to eat or drink, or about your body and what you will wear. Surely life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
- Blessed is the man who perseveres when he is tempted, for when he has been proven, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- I understand that man’s greatest happiness is to be glad and do well throughout his life. And when we eat and drink and find satisfaction in all our labors, this is a gift of God.
- You are the light of the world. A city built upon a mountain cannot be hidden.
- If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.
- If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
- Jesus replied,
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father
except through me.”
