- I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
- You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
- We have happy memories of the godly,
but the name of a wicked person rots away. - No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
- For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does. - Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord. - Until at last the Spirit is poured out
on us from heaven.
Then the wilderness will become a fertile field,
and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops. - True humility and fear of the Lord
lead to riches, honor, and long life. - The high and lofty one who lives in eternity,
the Holy One, says this:
“I live in the high and holy place
with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.
I restore the crushed spirit of the humble
and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.” - The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. - The words of the godly are like sterling silver;
the heart of a fool is worthless. - The hopes of the godly result in happiness,
but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing. - Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness
while I am here in the land of the living. - The godly are showered with blessings;
the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions. - The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe. - Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor. - The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.
- One should be kind to a fainting friend,
but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty. - The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help. - Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
- Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. - But consider the joy of those corrected by God!
Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin. - The lips of the godly speak helpful words,
but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words. - And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
