- And steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work. - Like a city breached, without walls,
is one who lacks self-control. - Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.
- Do not envy the violent
and do not choose any of their ways;
for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence. - How can young people keep their way pure?
By guarding it according to your word. - Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up. - But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statutes and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die.
- Do not adorn yourselves outwardly by braiding your hair, and by wearing gold ornaments or fine clothing; rather, let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God's sight.
- For he will repay according to each one's deeds.
- For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay everyone for what has been done.
- Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another. - Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord rescues them from them all. - You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
- Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God.
- For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has—not according to what one does not have.
- Fools show their anger at once,
but the prudent ignore an insult. - Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
- He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
- Surely there is no one on earth so righteous as to do good without ever sinning.
- To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
and a word in season, how good it is! - For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
- If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.
- For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle.
- But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating will receive a light beating. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.
