- For the Son of Man has come to seek out and to save what was lost.
- The Lord God then formed a woman out of the rib that he had taken from the man. He brought her before the man.
The man said,
“This one is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh.
She shall be called woman
because she was taken from man.”
This is why a man leaves his father and his mother and joins with a wife, and the two become one flesh. - For since death came into the world through a man, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man.
- What then if you were to behold the Son of Man
ascend to where he was before? - Therefore, you must also be prepared, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
- For there is one God,
and there is one mediator between God and man,
Christ Jesus, himself a man. - What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him? - For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
- For just as through the disobedience of one man the many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man the many will be made righteous.
- And the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I wish to make another creature who will be like him.”
- In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
- However, the gift is not like the transgression. For if the transgression of one man led to the death of the many, how much greater was the overflowing effect of the grace of God and the gift of the one man Jesus Christ that has abounded for the many.
- For this reason
a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh. - However, to avoid the temptation to immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
- But as for you, man of God, you must shun all this. Rather, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, fortitude, and gentleness.
- Blessed are you when people hate you and ostracize you, when they insult you and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
- Everyone who hears these words of mine and acts in accordance with them will be like a wise man who constructed his house on a rock foundation.
- He was despised and shunned by others,
a man of sorrows who was no stranger to suffering.
We loathed him and regarded him as of no account,
as one from whom men avert their gaze. - A wealthy man pays a ransom to save his life;
a poor man never has to worry about such threats. - Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you.
For it is on him
that God the Father has set his seal. - Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
- As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. - He is not here. He has been raised. Remember what he told you while he was still in Galilee: that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified and rise again on the third day.
- God is not human, that he should lie,
or the son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act,
does he promise and then not fulfill it? - If a man has recently been married, he is not to go off to battle nor have any other duty laid on him. He will be free to stay at home for one year so that he can bring happiness to the wife whom he has married.
A perverse man sows strife,
and a tale-bearer destroys close friendships.The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.
