- Better is a little that the righteous person has
than the abundance of many wicked.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous. - For God is not unjust; he will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.
- In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. - Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.
- The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse. - I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. - Do not envy the violent
and do not choose any of their ways;
for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence. - Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.
- He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
- The Lord is just in all his ways,
and kind in all his doings. - “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.
- Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my supplications in your faithfulness;
answer me in your righteousness. - Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute. - Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him. - You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.
- For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
- But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
- Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
- If we diligently observe this entire commandment before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, we will be in the right.
- I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
- My soul yearns for you in the night,
my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.
For when your judgments are in the earth,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. - But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.
- Those who are wise understand these things;
those who are discerning know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them. - Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
