- Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
- You are altogether beautiful, my love;
there is no flaw in you. - You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with glad cries of deliverance. Selah - Jesus said to him, “If you are able!—All things can be done for the one who believes.”
- Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
- For in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
- But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
- The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
- If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
- If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one.
- I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” - Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.
- Now who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?
- A generous person will be enriched,
and one who gives water will get water. - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
Let your good spirit lead me
on a level path. - Wealth is a ransom for a person's life,
but the poor get no threats. - A perverse person spreads strife,
and a whisperer separates close friends. - What is desirable in a person is loyalty,
and it is better to be poor than a liar. - There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
- There is a way that seems right to a person,
but its end is the way to death. - Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
- You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in your word. - You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
- You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.
- Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself.
A person's pride will bring humiliation,
but one who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.
