- Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
- Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
- If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.
- Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
- And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
- Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Your speech must always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
- For You bless the righteous person, Lord,
You surround him with favor as with a shield. - Before destruction the heart of a person is haughty,
But humility goes before honor. - Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends.
- It goes well for a person who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment. - It is a trap for a person to say carelessly, “It is holy!”
And after the vows to make inquiry. - Behold, happy is the person whom God disciplines,
So do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. - Words from the mouth of a wise person are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him.
- Praise the Lord!
Blessed is a person who fears the Lord,
Who greatly delights in His commandments. - For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
- If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
- For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to rein in the whole body as well.
- A person of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - But the one who did not know it, and committed acts deserving of a beating, will receive only a few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
- And he would answer and say to them, “The one who has two tunics is to share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.”
- One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,
Even his prayer is an abomination. - With his mouth the godless person destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be rescued. - But whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
- If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
