- I have no greater joy than this, 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 wear yourself out to get rich;
be wise enough to desist. - Wealth is a ransom for a person's life,
but the poor get no threats. - Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. - But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child 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 degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind and to things that should not be done.
- You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah - So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
- Now John wore clothing of camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
- But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
- I shall walk at liberty,
for I have sought your precepts. - So we fasted and petitioned our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.
- I will make them and the region around my hill a blessing; and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.
- Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
- Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
- Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good repute
in the sight of God and of people. - Because I delivered the poor who cried,
and the orphan who had no helper.
The blessing of the wretched came upon me,
and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. - Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.
- Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths. These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
- He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
- By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming; and now it is already in the world.
- But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
- Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
- Be still before the Lord, and wait patiently for him;
do not fret over those who prosper in their way,
over those who carry out evil devices.
