- When one will not listen to the law,
even one's prayers are an abomination. - Just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

in the image of God he created them;

his mercies never come to an end;

and all his work is done in faithfulness. - The wealth of the rich is their strong city;
in their imagination it is like a high wall. - God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.
- A wise child makes a glad father,
but a foolish child is a mother's grief. - As they came from their mother's womb, so they shall go again, naked as they came; they shall take nothing for their toil, which they may carry away with their hands.
- 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.’ - For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
