- Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be lengthened in the land that the Lord your God, will give you.
- Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth. - So we must not fall asleep as the others do, but we must stay alert and sober.
- Repent and renounce all your transgressions. Otherwise your iniquity will prove to be your downfall.
- My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long. - Ensure that the path you tread is level,
and then your ways will be sure. - To do your will, O God, is my delight;
your law is in my heart. - Then keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies. - Sing praise to the Lord for his mighty deeds;
let this be known throughout the entire world. - Let those who are wise understand these words,
and let the prudent acknowledge them.
For straight are the ways of the Lord;
the upright walk in them,
but sinners stumble. - Everything that you do should be done in love.
- Now let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful in your judgments, for the Lord, our God, will not tolerate the perversion of justice, or partiality, or the taking of bribes.
- You shall observe the Sabbath by keeping it holy, as the Lord, your God, has commanded you. You are to labor on six days, doing all of your work then. The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, your God. You shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor your cattle, nor even the foreigner living in your town. Thus your manservant and maidservant can rest as well.
- May he give you your heart’s desire
and grant you success in all your plans. - He will not permit your foot to stumble;
he who guards you will not fall asleep. - For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. - Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, is Lord alone. You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
- This is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.’ - But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
- And God said, “Let us make man in our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the wild animals and reptiles that crawl upon the earth.”
- Salvation comes from the Lord.
May your blessing be upon your people. Selah - On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried out,
“If anyone is thirsty,
let him come to me and drink.” - The depths of the sea resound
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and your breakers
sweep over me. - You shall serve the Lord, your God. He will bless your bread and water and take away sickness from your midst.
- Let us remain firm in the confession of our hope without wavering, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy.
Let no foul word ever pass your lips. Say only what is useful for edification, so that your words may benefit your listeners.
