- For from the beginning
you have heard the message
that we should love one another. - And every tongue should proclaim
to the glory of God the Father:
Jesus Christ is Lord. - I, the Lord, am your God. You must obey my laws and be careful to observe my ordinances. Keep holy my Sabbaths as a sign between me and you so that you will know that I am the Lord, your God.
- God is not human, that he should lie,
or the son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act,
does he promise and then not fulfill it? - Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you.
For it is on him
that God the Father has set his seal. - You shall obey his statutes and the commandments that I give you today, so that all may go well with you and your children after you, and that you may live long in the land that the Lord, your God, has given you for all time.
- If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple.
- See what love
the Father has bestowed on us,
enabling us to be called the children of God,
and that is what we are.
If the world does not recognize us,
that is because it did not know him. - We also know
that the Son of God has come
and given us understanding
so that we can know the one who is true.
And we are in the one who is true,
since we are in his Son Jesus Christ.
He is the true God and eternal life. - For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so too do we believe that God will bring forth with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
- He brought you low, allowing you to suffer from hunger. He then fed you with manna, something with which your fathers were not familiar, so that you might come to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the Lord.
- Nothing gives me greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
- Be still and acknowledge that I am God,
exalted among the nations,
exalted on the earth. - For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall also be united with him in his resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be destroyed and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
- You have heard that it was said of old: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that anyone who looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
- Put on the armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil.
- Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.
- And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do as much.
- Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may advance on the path to salvation.
- By this is my Father glorified,
that you bear much fruit
and become my disciples. - Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
- I want their hearts to be encouraged and united in love so that they may grow rich in their complete understanding as they come to the knowledge of the mystery of God, that is, Christ.
- Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Rather, always aim to achieve what is best for each other and for everyone.
- In that way, I can come to you in joy, if God so wills, and be refreshed together with you.
- And not only that, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we realize that suffering develops perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope.
