- Look! He is coming with the clouds;
every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail.
So it is to be. Amen. - Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
- Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.
- And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said,
“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called Woman,
for out of Man this one was taken.”
Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh. - For the same reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, busy with this very thing.
- You shall be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from the other peoples to be mine.
- Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.
- 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.
- Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.
- Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
- You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
- For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, because a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant.
- I shall walk at liberty,
for I have sought your precepts. - Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
be wise enough to desist. - You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am.
- For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
- For the customs of the peoples are false:
a tree from the forest is cut down,
and worked with an ax by the hands of an artisan;
people deck it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
for they cannot do evil,
nor is it in them to do good. - And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.
- He said to them, “Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) - No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
- Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin. - Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
- Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well. - I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
