- The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it. - Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life. - Some people are always greedy for more,
but the godly love to give! - Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest. - But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. - That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?

for by them you give me life. - People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life,
but those who ignore correction will go astray. - But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.
- Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
- But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.
- The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,
but the poor won’t even get threatened. - For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.
- Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
- For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.
- Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever. - For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.
- God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.Next verse!With image
