- The Lord makes poor and makes rich,
he humbles and he also exalts. - Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
- One person may consider one day to be more sacred than another, while another may judge all days to be alike. Let everyone be convinced in his own beliefs.
- Do not judge, so that you in turn may not be judged.
- Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and utter all kinds of calumnies against you for my sake.
- Each of us must consider his neighbor’s good for the purpose of building him up.
- Lying lips conceal hatred,
and anyone who slanders another is a fool. - Love cannot result in any harm to the neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the Law.
- The one who leads a blameless life
and does what is right,
who speaks the truth from the heart
and does not slander anyone,
who does not harm a friend
and does not scorn a neighbor. - For just as in one body we have many parts, and the parts do not all have the same function, so we, though many, make up one body in Christ, and individually we are all parts of one another.
- Love is patient;
love is charitable.
Love is not envious;
it does not have an inflated opinion of itself;
it is not filled with its own importance.
Love is never rude;
it does not seek its own advantage.
It is not prone to anger;
neither does it brood over setbacks. - A highway will be there
that will be called the Way of Holiness.
No one who is unclean may pass over it;
it will serve as a path for pilgrims
and no fool will be able to use it. - Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good.
- 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. - 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.
- 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.
- Because in my eyes you are precious,
because you are honored and I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you
and nations in return for your life. - Bear with one another, and forgive one another if anyone has reason to be offended with another. You must forgive just as the Lord has forgiven you.
- If in speaking I use human tongues
and angelic as well,
but do not have love,
I am nothing more than a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. - And God is able to enrich you with an abundance of every grace, so that, with all of your needs provided for, you may be able to produce a surplus of good works.
- As sorrowful, and yet we are always rejoicing; as poor, and yet we make many rich; as having nothing, and yet we possess everything.
- If I give away everything to feed the poor
and hand over my body to be burned,
but do not have love,
I achieve nothing. - In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
- As for me, I do not regard my life as of any value, only that I finish the race and complete the mission that I received from the Lord Jesus—to bear witness to the gospel of God’s grace.
- If I have the gift of prophecy
and the ability to understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and have all the faith necessary to move mountains,
but do not have love,
I am nothing.
