- Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them.
- For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.
- Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
- For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will glorify the lowly with salvation. - For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
- Not to us, Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy, because of Your truth. - The Lord makes poor and rich;
He humbles, He also exalts. - Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just; and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.
- Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—
A piece of pottery among the other earthenware pottery pieces!
Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’
Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’? - Come, let’s worship and bow down,
Let’s kneel before the Lord our Maker. - Now whenever you fast, do not make a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they distort their faces so that they will be noticed by people when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
- So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
- It is not this way among you, but whoever wants to become prominent among you shall be your servant, and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave.
- For it is written:
“As I live, says the Lord, to Me every knee will bow,
And every tongue will give praise to God.” - Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; but the rich person is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.
- Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
- What is man that You think of him,
And a son of man that You are concerned about him? - But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect.
- Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help;
Do not be silent to my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
One who lives abroad, like all my fathers. - Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father, who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.’ - Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!
Shout in triumph, daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is righteous and endowed with salvation,
Humble, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. - Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.
- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to raise his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
