- This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
- The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.
- While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
- In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”
- Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
- This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
- Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
- But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
- Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind. - And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
- All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
- And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
- Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
- Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
- Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
- To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
- This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
- This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
- Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless. - For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
- Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
- This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.’ - Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
- This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live.”
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.”Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
