- What is desirable in a person is loyalty,
and it is better to be poor than a liar. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me. - A friend loves at all times,
and kinsfolk are born to share adversity. - Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
So you will find favor and good repute
in the sight of God and of people. - Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.
- No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
- Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
- But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.Next verse!With image
