- The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains,
The world, and those who live in it. - A soothing tongue is a tree of life,
But perversion in it crushes the spirit. - This is what the Lord says:
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
Then you will find a resting place for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” - And heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
- For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith.”
- This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will achieve success.
- What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
- For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.
- But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer, this person will be blessed in what he does.
- A highway will be there, a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for the one who walks that way,
And fools will not wander on it. - Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
Whoever is discerning, let him know them.
For the ways of the Lord are right,
And the righteous will walk in them,
But wrongdoers will stumble in them. - Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
- There is no one holy like the Lord,
Indeed, there is no one besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God. - Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
- There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
- There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven.
- For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved.
- In all labor there is profit,
But mere talk leads only to poverty. - And who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
- Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, Lord, You know it all. - For this reason You are great, Lord God; for there is no one like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
- Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. - When pride comes, then comes dishonor;
But with the humble there is wisdom. - You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
And there is no blemish on you.
Therefore know today, and take it to your heart, that the Lord, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.You will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.
