- I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
- Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
- Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
- If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
- After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
- Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
- What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
- Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
- The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
- Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.”
- Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
- Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine.
- And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
- Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
- Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall.
- Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is. - At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
may the name of the Lord be praised.” - This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.’ - Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)
- Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
- Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
- Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident. - There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
- Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
- Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.
