- My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? - He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
- You show me the path of life.
In your presence there is fullness of joy;
in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. - Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and just as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. Only, you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
- Yet even now, says the Lord,
return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. - The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us.
- Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.
- And it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
- Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
- We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
- And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
- Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
- But I do not count my life of any value to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the good news of God's grace.
- Husbands, in the same way, show consideration for your wives in your life together, paying honor to the woman as the weaker sex, since they too are also heirs of the gracious gift of life—so that nothing may hinder your prayers.
- The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid? - Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
- For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?
- For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.
- Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
- With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.
- But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
- And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”
- Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has long ago approved what you do.
- On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ —by grace you have been saved—.A fool despises a parent's instruction,
but the one who heeds admonition is prudent.
