Hebrews 13:16

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward.”

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”

and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,

and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you;

If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods; but we will walk in the name of Yahweh our God forever and ever.

He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, wallet, and sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

The same came to him by night, and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.”

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

“You shall not steal.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.

Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that Yahweh has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering.

I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.

that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.

Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him who teaches.

However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more.

But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right.

that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.

Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.

Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.

Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.

Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
