- So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
- But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
- And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.
- Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.
- But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
a place of safety when I am in distress. - The wise are glad to be instructed,
but babbling fools fall flat on their faces. - And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.
- Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.
- Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise. - “Listen to me and make up your minds to honor my name,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “or I will bring a terrible curse against you. I will curse even the blessings you receive. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you have not taken my warning to heart.”
- In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.
If you find it, you will have a bright future,
and your hopes will not be cut short. - I will walk in freedom,
for I have devoted myself to your commandments. - Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means.
- O Israel, my faithless people,
come home to me again,
for I am merciful.
I will not be angry with you forever. - Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.
- Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.
- Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,
and you will find the right way to go. - He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection. - I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.
- This is what I told them: ‘Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’
- Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident. - My child, if your heart is wise,
my own heart will rejoice! - Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.
- People who conceal their sins will not prosper,
but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. - But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.
