Does he promise and not fulfill? - This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,

on earth as it is in heaven.’ - There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.

but the wise bring calm in the end. - There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death. - Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

- Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.
- For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
