- Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.
- The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble. - A wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother. - You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
- A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
- They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.
- Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. - And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
- And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
- For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness. - The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. - But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
- Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
- Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path. - The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
- Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
- Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.
- I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
- No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
- To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
and a word in season, how good it is! - A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me. - I have made a covenant with my eyes;
how then could I gaze at a virgin? - Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
