- Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;
only fools insist on quarreling. - And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
- If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.
- Keep the Sabbath day holy.
Don’t pursue your own interests on that day,
but enjoy the Sabbath
and speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day.
Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day,
and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly.
Then the Lord will be your delight.
I will give you great honor
and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob.
I, the Lord, have spoken! - Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
- People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. - Choose a good reputation over great riches;
being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. - God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us. Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.Next verse!With image
