- Therefore you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things.
- But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
- So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
- Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray. - Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds.
- When the Lord your God has blessed you, as he promised you, you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
- No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

- But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
- Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
- Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people! Selah - Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.
- Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.
- The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low, he also exalts. - Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
- And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.
- Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
- Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
- Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.
- But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear, and do not be intimidated.
- Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building up the neighbor.
- Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool. - Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.
- Do not repay evil for evil or abuse for abuse; but, on the contrary, repay with a blessing. It is for this that you were called—that you might inherit a blessing.
- Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
