- Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.
- When your eyes light upon it, it is gone;
for suddenly it takes wings to itself,
flying like an eagle toward heaven. - Fools show their anger at once,
but the prudent ignore an insult. - Though an army encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war rise up against me,
yet I will be confident. - When one will not listen to the law,
even one's prayers are an abomination. - But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. - Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
- For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.
- Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
but those who act faithfully are his delight. - Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
- To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
and a word in season, how good it is! - Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one.
- And whoever does not provide for relatives, and especially for family members, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
- For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure.
- Because sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the human heart is fully set to do evil.
- One who forgives an affront fosters friendship,
but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend. - Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
- I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous ordinances. - For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another.
- I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you utter.
- 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. - Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
- But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you.
- House and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord. - Teach me your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart to revere your name.
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.”For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. I lift up my eyes to the hills—
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.Next verse!With image
