- But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Your almsgiving must be done in secret. And your Father who sees everything that is done in secret will reward you.
- Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good.
- Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives
do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled;
be not afraid. - Above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth, or use any oaths at all. Let your “Yes” mean “Yes” and your “No” mean “No.” Otherwise you may be condemned.
- He reveals deep and hidden mysteries
and knows what lies in the darkness,
for light dwells with him. - For light produces all goodness and righteousness and truth.
- Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
- However, whoever lives by the truth
comes to the light
so that it may be clearly seen
that his deeds have been done in God. - This is the message
that we have heard from him
and that we declare to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness at all in him. - It was not their own swords that won them the land,
nor did their own arms make them victorious;
rather, it was your right hand and your arm
and the light of your face,
because you loved them. - The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom should I be afraid? - All you need to do is to say ‘Yes’ if you mean ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ if you mean ‘No.’ Anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
- He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. - Be strong and courageous in your hearts,
all you who place your hope in the Lord. - O Lord, do not withhold your mercy from me;
may your kindness and your truth keep me safe forever. - Place your hope in the Lord:
be strong and courageous in your heart,
and place your hope in the Lord. - Our temporary light afflictions are preparing for us an incomparable weight of eternal glory.
- For so has the Lord commanded us to do, saying,
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles
so that you may bring salvation
to the farthest corners of the earth.’ - No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a pot or places it under a bed. Rather he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
- Do not seek to adorn yourself externally—by the braiding of your hair and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothing. Rather, let your adornment be of your inner self, the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.
- Do not associate with unbelievers. For what basis can there be for a partnership between righteousness and lawlessness? What do light and darkness have in common?
- Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may show yourselves blameless and beyond reproach, children of God without spot in the midst of an evil and depraved generation, among which you shine like lights in the world as you hold fast tenaciously to the word of life.
- Come forth! Let us bow down to worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. - My son, do not forget my teaching,
but cherish my commandments in your heart,
for they will bring you length of days,
more years of life, and an abundance of prosperity. - I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your precepts.
