- So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.
- This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
- Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things.
Make known his praise around the world. - But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
- Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
- Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind.
- Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
- After supper he took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.”
- For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.
- Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
- There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
- In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles. - Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
- Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven. - The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,
and he gives the farmer great wisdom. - Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
- When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”
- And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.
- Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
- Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
- Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.”
- For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- This is a trustworthy saying:
If we die with him,
we will also live with him. - And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.
- You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
