- Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom.
- To get wisdom is to love oneself;
to keep understanding is to prosper. - Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make your vindication shine like the light,
and the justice of your cause like the noonday. - So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today.
- For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
- Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
- Do all things without murmuring and arguing, so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world. It is by your holding fast to the word of life.
- This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.
- For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
- But surely, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - The heart is devious above all else;
it is perverse—
who can understand it?
I the Lord test the mind
and search the heart,
to give to all according to their ways,
according to the fruit of their doings. - My child, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
for length of days and years of life
and abundant welfare they will give you. - He has made everything suitable for its time; moreover he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
- God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
- “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
- For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.
- Keep straight the path of your feet,
and all your ways will be sure. - Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
- Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; moreover, it is God's gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil.
- You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.
- If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.
- If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
- Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
