- I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
- Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
- Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist. - The ransom of a man's life is his wealth,
but a poor man hears no threat. - Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. - But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.”
- Because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
- And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
- For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
- The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
- You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah - So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
- Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
- For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
- But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
- And I shall walk in a wide place,
for I have sought your precepts. - So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.
- And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.
- When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
- But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
- Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good success
in the sight of God and man. - Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.”
- Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.
- Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
- He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
