- Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.
- And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.
- Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?
- Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others. - Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions. - He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
- There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.
- Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
- Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
- Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,
but fools are consumed by their own lips. - A person’s riches may ransom their life,
but the poor cannot respond to threatening rebukes. - You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea. - For, “Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.” - For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
- Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
- Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
- The lips of fools bring them strife,
and their mouths invite a beating. - For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
- Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
- Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues. - This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.
- Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,
but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. - If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable.
