- 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. - Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name goes all the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness. - Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. - 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.
- 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! - 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done. - Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
- Do not withhold good from those who deserve it
when it’s in your power to help them. - 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.
- Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased. - No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
- Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.
- The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just
than when we offer him sacrifices. - And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”
- And the Lord our God commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear him so he can continue to bless us and preserve our lives, as he has done to this day.
- 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.
- I will hurry, without delay,
to obey your commands. - 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.
- See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.
- From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
- 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.
