- A person's pride will bring humiliation,
but one who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. - For we are God's servants, working together; you are God's field, God's building.
- Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up. - Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight. But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
- He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
and obtains favor from the Lord. - Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
- By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
- But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. - You are indeed my rock and my fortress;
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. - A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold. - And he said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
- Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.
- For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
- What are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them? - I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.
- Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long. - He said to them, “Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) - Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise. - Iron sharpens iron,
and one person sharpens the wits of another. - Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
- If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.
- Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff—
they comfort me. - For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light.
- He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
- You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.
