- “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
- “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh. - What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
- When you pass through the waters, I will be with you,
and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned,
and flame will not scorch you. - I will hurry, and not delay,
to obey your commandments. - Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not ask wisely about this.
- But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
- I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
- Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up.
- Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
- A truthful witness will not lie,
but a false witness pours out lies. - “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.
- ‘Return, you backsliding Israel,’ says Yahweh; ‘I will not look in anger on you, for I am merciful,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will not keep anger forever.’
- Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.”
- For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.
- You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
- He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life.
- Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
- Or can one walk on hot coals,
and his feet not be scorched? - What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
- But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint. - He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
- He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
I will not be shaken. - Turn my heart toward your statutes,
not toward selfish gain. - Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.
