- Lord, all my desire is before you.
My groaning is not hidden from you. - We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners, yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
- For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except God’s Spirit.
- And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
- Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.
- I have set Yahweh always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. - Don’t weary yourself to be rich.
In your wisdom, show restraint. - Haven’t you known?
Haven’t you heard?
The everlasting God, Yahweh,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint.
He isn’t weary.
His understanding is unsearchable. - So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
- In God, I praise his word.
In God, I put my trust.
I will not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? - Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
- Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!
Make his doings known among the peoples. - I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
- For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
- Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
- Wake up righteously and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
- In that day you will say, “Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Declare his doings among the peoples! Proclaim that his name is exalted!”
- How I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house.
- Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—” Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
- For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
- And hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
- To whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
- Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
- Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.
- But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.
