- He said to them in reply, “Anyone who has two coats must share with the person who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”
- For as it is written,
“Eye has not seen, ear has not heard,
nor has the human heart imagined
what God has prepared for those who love him.” - No one has ever seen God.
It is the only Son, God,
who is at the Father’s side,
who has made him known. - Arise and shine forth, for your light has come
and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you. - He has made everything suitable for its time, and he has given men a sense of past and future, but they never have the slightest comprehension of what God has wrought from beginning to end.
- Whoever possesses the Son
possesses life;
whoever does not possess the Son of God
does not possess life. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. - Consequently, anyone united to Christ is a new creation. The old order has passed away. Behold, all has become new.
- Whoever denies the Son
does not have the Father,
but whoever acknowledges the Son
has the Father also. - This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us exult and rejoice in it. - Such hope will not be doomed to disappointment, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
- “Peace be with you,” Jesus said to them again.
“As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.” - Cure the sick who are there, and say, ‘The kingdom of God has come unto you.’
- No one has ever seen God,
but if we love one another,
God abides in us,
and his love is made complete in us. - This is
‘the stone rejected by you, the builders,
that has become the cornerstone.’ - Jesus replied,
“This is the work of God:
to believe in the one whom he has sent.” - Blessed is the man who perseveres when he is tempted, for when he has been proven, he will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- In love there is no fear;
indeed, perfect love casts out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment,
and whoever fears
has not yet achieved perfection in love. - I am now about to go the way of all upon the earth. You know very well in your hearts and your souls that not one of the good things that the Lord, your God, promised you has failed to take place. Every promise has been fulfilled, not one of them has been broken.
- This is how we can be certain
that we abide in him
and that he abides in us:
he has given us a share in his Spirit. - Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, you should arm yourselves also with the same intention. For anyone who has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin.
- Bear with one another, and forgive one another if anyone has reason to be offended with another. You must forgive just as the Lord has forgiven you.
- But Jesus has now received a ministry that is far superior, for he is the mediator of a far better covenant that has been established on better promises.
- The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring the good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to prisoners
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free. - Who has performed these deeds and accomplished this?
Who has summoned the nations from the beginning?
I, the Lord, am the first,
and I will be there with the last.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts:
he is the King of glory. Selah
