- What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his very life?
- Blessed are those who observe his statutes
and seek him with their whole heart. - I will offer praise to you, O Lord,
with my whole heart;
I will recount all your wondrous deeds. - He is himself the sacrifice for our sins—
and not only for our sins
but also for the sins of the whole world. - What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his very life? Or what can he give in exchange for his life?
- Then he said to them, “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.”

do not let me stray from your precepts. - If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is preferable for you to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna.
- This is the end of my teaching.
All has been heard.
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for that is the responsibility of everyone. - Put on the armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil.

- And the good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the entire world as a testimony offered to all the nations. And then the end will come.
- Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with your whole heart, considering the great things he has done for you.

- Now, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you will be my own possession from among all the peoples, for the entire earth is mine.
- O God, you are my God,
for whom I have been searching earnestly.
My soul yearns for you
and my body thirsts for you,
like the earth when it is parched,
arid and without water. - I wait for the Lord in anxious expectation;
I place my hope in his word. - Bless the Lord, O my soul;
my entire being, bless his holy name. - When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all assembled together in one place. Suddenly, there came from heaven a sound similar to that of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were sitting.
Give thanks to the Lord, invoke his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples.For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
