- Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable. - Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
- Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
- He answered, “Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
- I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth. - I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
- Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
- “Ananias,” Peter asked, “why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, were not the proceeds at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You did not lie to us but to God!”
- One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?” And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”
- Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”
- For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried. - You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
- I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness. - Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
- I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!
- Not that I am referring to being in need; for I have learned to be content with whatever I have.
- Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
- The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
- Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?
- Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.
- And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
- You who want to be justified by the law have cut yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
- I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud,
and your sins like mist;
return to me, for I have redeemed you. - For ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said,
‘For we too are his offspring.’ - To you, O God of my ancestors,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and power,
and have now revealed to me what we asked of you,
for you have revealed to us what the king ordered.
I shall walk at liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
