but whoever does not believe in him
already stands condemned,
because he has not believed in the name
of the only-begotten Son of God. - Do not assert that the past was better than the present,
for such a statement is not a sign of wisdom. - If you are angry, do not sin. Do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not give the devil an opening.

to a nation that did not summon me. - I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
- Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives
do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled;
be not afraid. - Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A person will reap only what he sows.
- When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
nor will the waters engulf you.
When you walk through fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not consume you. - I will make haste and not delay
to observe your precepts. - Let us never grow weary in doing what is right, for if we do not give up, we will reap our harvest in due time.
- A truthful witness does not lie,
but a false witness lies incessantly. - “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not allow myself to be dominated by anything.
- Fix your thoughts on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.
- But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
- Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill them.
- As long as the goodwill is present, the gift will be acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.
