- The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing. - Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
They shall be like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots by the stream.
It shall not fear when heat comes,
and its leaves shall stay green;
in the year of drought it is not anxious,
and it does not cease to bear fruit. - And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
- And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.
- For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him. - Just as you do not know how the breath comes to the bones in the mother's womb, so you do not know the work of God, who makes everything.
- He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
- Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!
Lo, your king comes to you;
triumphant and victorious is he,
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey. - The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom,
and humility goes before honor. - Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God.
- But I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord! - Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom.
- Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives;
those who open wide their lips come to ruin. - But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
- Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
- Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
- Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
- The wise of heart will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin. - As they came from their mother's womb, so they shall go again, naked as they came; they shall take nothing for their toil, which they may carry away with their hands.
- I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” - But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
- For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. - For in much wisdom is much vexation,
and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow. - It is well with those who deal generously and lend,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
