- Hatred stirs up strife,
but love overlooks all offenses. - A fool is quick to show his anger,
but a prudent man ignores an insult. - Blessings are showered on the head of the righteous,
but sorrow will cover the face of the wicked. - One who forgives a misdeed fosters friendship,
but he who divulges it separates good friends. - No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy. - No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a pot or places it under a bed. Rather he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and barren, and darkness covered the abyss while the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.
I have given you a command. Be strong and brave, do not be afraid nor dismayed. I, the Lord, your God, will be with you wherever you go. You did not choose me.
Rather, I chose you.
And I appointed you
to go out and bear fruit,
fruit that will remain,
so that the Father may give you
whatever you ask him in my name.Next verse!With image
