- A wise child brings joy to a father;
a foolish child brings grief to a mother. - I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
- I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
I will praise my God to my last breath! - Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. - For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
- See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.
- So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God.
- Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever. - Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil;
joy fills hearts that are planning peace! - For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. - Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
- Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil. - He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
- Just as the rich rule the poor,
so the borrower is servant to the lender. - And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
- Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life.
- The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help. - Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;
it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time! - In the night I search for you;
in the morning I earnestly seek you.
For only when you come to judge the earth
will people learn what is right. - But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.
- Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.
- I am the Lord, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?
- I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth! - In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.
- “All right then,” Joshua said, “destroy the idols among you, and turn your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
