- Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
- Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
- Wash you, make you clean;
put away the evil of your doings
from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil. - But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
- These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
- And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
- Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
- And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring.
- Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
- Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
- Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
- And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
- And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
- Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
- Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
- Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
- For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
- And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
- Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
- For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
- For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
- Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
- Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel.
- But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
- Therefore also now, saith the Lord,
turn ye even to me with all your heart,
and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
