my Savior and my God. - But I will sing of your strength;
when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness.
For you have been my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. - Hence, I advise you to be guided by the Spirit, so that you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
- For everything that is in the world—
the concupiscence of the flesh,
the concupiscence of the eyes,
and the pride of life—
comes not from the Father
but from the world. - When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart.

be strong and courageous in your heart,
and place your hope in the Lord. - Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting. - In my distress I called out to the Lord;
he answered by setting me free. - The entire community of believers was united in heart and soul. No one claimed any of his possessions as his own, for everything was held in common.

- For one believes in the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
- The heart is more deceitful than any other thing,
and it is also perverse.
Who can uncover its secrets?
I, the Lord, search the heart
and probe the mind
to reward all according to their conduct
and as their deeds deserve. - Even though the fig tree does not blossom
and there is no fruit on the vines,
even though the olive crop will fail
and the orchards will yield no food,
even though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
I will continue to rejoice in the Lord,
and exult in the God of my salvation. - For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the Spirit, and those of the Spirit are opposed to the flesh. They are in conflict with one another, so that you cannot do what you want.
- I give them eternal life,
and they will never perish.

My Father who has given them to me
is greater than all,
and no one can snatch them
out of the Father’s hand.
I and the Father are one. - Jesus said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

and flesh of my flesh.

because she was taken from man.”
