- Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
- For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.

- Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
- Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all.
- Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. - Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
- Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
- You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am.
- I will teach you wisdom’s ways
and lead you in straight paths. - You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself.
- And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
- O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. - I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables. But you must never eat any meat that still has the lifeblood in it.
- If you obey all the decrees and commands I am giving you today, all will be well with you and your children. I am giving you these instructions so you will enjoy a long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you for all time.
- You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own.
- You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror.
- Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you. - Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
- May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love.
- There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
- For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.
- Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.
- Then, by the will of God, I will be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and we will be an encouragement to each other.
- Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
