- Know also that wisdom is like honey for you:
If you find it, there is a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off. - Fools show their annoyance at once,
but the prudent overlook an insult. - Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.

- They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you. - And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
- You, Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures from generation to generation. - No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
- If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.

- Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
- For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
- For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
