- For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts. - A good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold. - One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And one who rules his spirit, than one who captures a city. - How much better it is to get wisdom than gold!
And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver. - Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.
- It is better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in people. - Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends.
- For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than live in the tents of wickedness. - Do not worry about your life, as to what you are to eat; nor for your body, as to what you are to wear. For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
- Better is a little with righteousness
Than great income with injustice. - I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
- Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.
- To do righteousness and justice
Is preferred by the Lord more than sacrifice. - What is desirable in a person is his kindness,
And it is better to be a poor person than a liar. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
Than great treasure, and turmoil with the treasure. - For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?
- A person of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
- The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.
- Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. - You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
- Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves.
- Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
- I have not failed the command of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. - But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Because Your favor is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.Next verse!With image
