- Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God. - Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
- So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them. - No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
- Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
- And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
- For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
- But I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
you know no God but me,
and besides me there is no savior. - Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.
- Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
- Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases. - Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
- So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
- These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
- And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families.
- Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord is the upholder of my life. - Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
- To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
- God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him! - Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
forget not the afflicted. - For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation. - Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God. - For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him. - God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
