- 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.

- I will hurry, without delay,
to obey your commands. - Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path. - Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
- From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
- Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?
- Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
- But the love of the Lord remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children
of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments! - And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
- The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
- See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.
- Slaves must always obey their masters and do their best to please them. They must not talk back or steal, but must show themselves to be entirely trustworthy and good. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive in every way.
