- There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death. - Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous. - The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,
but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. - God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
- I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. - “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
- But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
- Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
For the Lord detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence. - This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’
- “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.
- You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
- The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does. - Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
- Lord, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief. - Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. - But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
- Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him! - Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. - Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.
- He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless. - We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
- The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value. - My soul yearns for you in the night;
in the morning my spirit longs for you.
When your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness. - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the Lord.Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.Next verse!With image
