Luke 18:22

Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”

For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you.

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Christ, let’s press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,

How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Armies!

As it is written, “He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.”

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

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.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us. Yes, establish the work of our hands.

Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.

No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

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.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

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 set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.

Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you don’t know what evil will be on the earth.

“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yahweh honorable; and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,

‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword.

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”

He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.

Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

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

and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;

“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’

If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?”

If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
