- Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. - Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
- Now an intermediary implies more than one, but God is one.
- It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in man. - For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness. - An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels. - Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
- Better is a little with righteousness
than great revenues with injustice. - No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
- I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
- Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
- Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
- To do righteousness and justice
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
- What is desired in a man is steadfast love,
and a poor man is better than a liar. - Better is a little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure and trouble with it. - Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
- Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
- A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. - The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.
- Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
- Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
- I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.
One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
