- You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
and rightly so,
for that is what I am. - As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - Just as water reflects one’s face,
so does one human heart reflect another. - Just as in Adam all die, so all will be brought to life in Christ.
- So then, faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.
- Teach us to comprehend how few our days are
so that our hearts may be filled with wisdom. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. - As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - As a father has compassion for his children,
so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. - “Peace be with you,” Jesus said to them again.
“As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.” - For God so loved the world
that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may attain eternal life. - Out of the same mouth flow blessings and curses. This should not be so, my brethren.

- Do not judge, so that you in turn may not be judged.
- For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so too, through Christ, do we receive our consolation.
- Seek good and not evil,
so that you may live.
Then the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you
as you claim he is. - In the same way, faith by itself is dead if it does not have works.
- Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father,
so whoever feeds upon me will live because of me. - As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts above your thoughts. - For so has the Lord commanded us to do, saying,
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles
so that you may bring salvation
to the farthest corners of the earth.’ - Repent, therefore, and be converted so that your sins may be wiped away.
- Therefore, we can say with confidence:
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid.
What can anyone do to me?” - Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
The body is one, although it has many parts; and all the parts, though many, form one body. So it is with Christ.There is no salvation in anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace when we are in need of help.Next verse!With image
