- Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
- Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
- You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
- O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar. - Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
- My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God? - He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. - You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
- He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. - The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
- Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
- Guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me. - The sum of your word is truth,
and every one of your righteous rules endures forever. - The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
and his ears toward their cry. - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you. - Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
- No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
- Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
- Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
- Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?
- And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
- When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
- For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. - And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
