For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;

There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

“Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory!

Sing praises to God! Sing praises! Sing praises to our King! Sing praises!

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”

Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
