- Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
- And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
- For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.

and they shall name him Emmanuel,”
which means, “God is with us.” - For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
- And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things that the Lord your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed.
- For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
- I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and will give to your offspring all these lands; and all the nations of the earth shall gain blessing for themselves through your offspring, because Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.Next verse!With image
