- Speak out and pronounce righteous judgments;
defend the rights of the wretched and the poor. - So if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out there. If they say, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For just as lightning comes from the east and is visible even in the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
- Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,
and defend the rights of the destitute. - The misfortunes of the righteous man are many,
but the Lord delivers him, from all of them. - After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
- I urge you, brethren, to watch out for those who incite dissensions and obstacles in opposition to the teaching that you have learned. Take care to avoid them.
- When you fix your gaze upon it,
it is gone before you realize it.
For it suddenly sprouts wings
and flies up to the sky like an eagle. - I am the Lord, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
You know no God but me,
nor any savior other than me. - Banish grief from your heart
and ignore the sufferings of your body,
for youth and the prime of life are fleeting. - Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vanity, but humbly regard others as better than yourselves.
- But for you who fear my name
the sun of justice will arise
with its healing rays.
You will emerge leaping
like calves released from the stall. - When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you.
- Let no foul word ever pass your lips. Say only what is useful for edification, so that your words may benefit your listeners.
- Until a spirit from on high
is poured out upon us,
and the wilderness becomes an orchard
and the fruitful field becomes a forest. - For I know that through your prayers and with the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will result in deliverance for me.
- Have mercy on me, O God,
in accord with your kindness;
in your abundant compassion
wipe away my offenses.
Wash me completely from my guilt,
and cleanse me from my sin. - Anyone who is victorious will be dressed like these in white robes, and I shall not blot his name from the book of life. Rather, I shall acknowledge it in the presence of my Father and his angels.
- Whoever believes in me,
as Scripture has said,
‘Streams of living water
shall flow from within him.’ - Guard your heart with all possible vigilance,
for from it flow the wellsprings of life. - So shall my word be
that issues forth from my mouth.
It will not return to me unfulfilled,
but it will accomplish my purpose
and achieve what I sent it forth to do. - The Lord God made clothing for the man and woman out of animal skins and he clothed them.
- Because the sentence for committing an evil act is not carried out quickly, people’s hearts are prone to act wickedly.
- Entrust everything that you do to the Lord,
and your plans will turn out to be successful. - Even if an army encamps against me,
my heart will not succumb to fear;
even if war breaks out against me,
I will not have my trust shaken. - And my God will fully supply all your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
