- To the loyal, you show yourself to be loyal;
to the blameless, you show yourself to be blameless. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a resolute spirit within me. - A true friend is one at all times,
and a brother is born to render help in time of need. - A man’s attraction is his kindness;
it is far better to be poor than to be a liar. - No one can serve two masters. For you will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
- Do not let kindness and fidelity leave you;
fasten them around your neck
and inscribe them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will gain favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man. - Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you waverers.
- Keep in mind, therefore, that the Lord, your God, is God. He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant of mercy to the thousandth generation toward those who love him and observe his commandments.
- But he is to ask with faith, without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind.
Jesus replied,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.” For the Lord, your God, is gracious and compassionate, and he will not turn his face away from you if you return to him.Next verse!With image
