- For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
- Walk with the wise and become wise,
for a companion of fools suffers harm. - Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children. - I, even I, am he who comforts you.
Who are you that you fear mere mortals,
human beings who are but grass. - But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
- But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
- While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
- So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
- For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
- Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross! - Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
- Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
- Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man. - When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
- He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
- In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
- Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
- How abundant are the good things
that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,
on those who take refuge in you. - Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
- You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
- When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
- For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.
- Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
- May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.
- The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;
the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”Next verse!With image
