- Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name goes all the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness. - No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God. - Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. - Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God
and only later counting the cost. - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
I will praise my God to my last breath! - Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
- And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.
- So if you sinful people 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.
- Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
when it’s in your power to help them. - Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
- All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.
- Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done. - I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
- And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”
- Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
- You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.
- No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
- Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil. - So also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.
- Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased. - The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just
than when we offer him sacrifices. - Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
- Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.
- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
- I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
