- He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.
- With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! - I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,
And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. - Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
- “And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes.”
- Direct my steps by Your word,
And let no iniquity have dominion over me. - Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
- Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
- “Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.” ’ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the Lord.
- “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. - But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me. - Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting. - I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears. - Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;
According to Your mercy remember me,
For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me. - But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
- Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking deceit. - As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
- Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.
- Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
- I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart. - He will again have compassion on us,
And will subdue our iniquities.
You will cast all our sins
Into the depths of the sea. - Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
- And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
- But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.Next verse!With image
