- But ‘God made them male and female’ from the beginning of creation. ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.
- Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
- Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right.”
- Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go. - I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.
- And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. And you must always obey the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good.
- Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done. - Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done. - We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.
- So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
- But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
- So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.
- For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.
- “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”
- I never shrank back from telling you what you needed to hear, either publicly or in your homes.
- A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.
- And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
- For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
- But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
- We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
- All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
- But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
- Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight! - Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
