- Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?
- For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
- I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
- So is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. - For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
- If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
- Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
- Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you. - For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
- I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. - Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke? - I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
- When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
- But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
- A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
- Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
- Take words with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
“Forgive all our sins
and receive us graciously,
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.” - So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
- So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.” - Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. - I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
- Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings. - You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.Next verse!With image
