- Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is made right in God’s sight—something the law of Moses could never do.
- All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
- As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.”
- So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.
- Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
- When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.
- Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
- You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles. Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.
- And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.” - Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it. - True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life. - I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever. - Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening.
- But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations.
- And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
- You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am.
- May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love.
- Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
- May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
- “I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”
- Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.
- And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.
- So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
- The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
- Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
