- Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
- Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
- For whoever finds me finds life
and receives favor from the Lord. - But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
- Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love
will find life, righteousness, and honor. - Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise. - Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”
- If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
- If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.
- To learn, you must love discipline;
it is stupid to hate correction. - If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it.
- He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.”
- Hiding hatred makes you a liar;
slandering others makes you a fool. - I tell you the truth, anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming the Father who sent me.
- And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.
- Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
- Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the Lord means safety. - People with integrity walk safely,
but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. - Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come.
- So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
- Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful. - But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
- If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
- Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
- For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
but those who ignore correction will go astray.And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people. And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God.Next verse!With image
