This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase. Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other. Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father.
Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Next verse! With image
