- The rich rule over the poor.
The borrower is servant to the lender. - For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. - Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.
- The memory of the righteous is blessed,
but the name of the wicked will rot. - The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked will perish. - In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
- The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom.
The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. - Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind.
Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down.
Yahweh loves the righteous. - Yahweh preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow,
but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. - Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple. - And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
- Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
- Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
- Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. - Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
- The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver.
The heart of the wicked is of little worth. - “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
- Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. - The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered—
the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree,
even all of the trees of the field are withered;
for joy has withered away from the sons of men. - The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
- The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse. - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.”
- The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s love, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.God sets the lonely in families.
He brings out the prisoners with singing,
but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
