- Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. - Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy;
For You render to each one according to his work. - He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength. - To do righteousness and justice
Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. - It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows. - He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God? - Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
- Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so. - Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil. - And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
- Incline my heart to Your testimonies,
And not to covetousness. - Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path. - For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.
- Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
- I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. - As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
- Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke? - If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
- And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
- Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
- But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them. - For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.
- Do not overwork to be rich;
Because of your own understanding, cease! - Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth. - I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
