1 In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, nor hidden that will not be known.
3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear Him!
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 Now when they bring you to the synagogues and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.
12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.
13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 But He said to him, Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for ones life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.
16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have nowhere to gather my fruits?
18 So he said, I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. By how much do you surpass birds.
25 And which of you by being anxious is able to add one cubit to his stature?
26 If you then are not able to do even the least, why are you anxious about the rest?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more you, you of little faith?
29 And do not seek what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor be agitated.
30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things will be conveyed to you.
32 Do not fear, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in Heaven that does not fail, where a thief does not come near nor moth destroys.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning;
36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Truly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.
38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be dug through.
40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
41 Then Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to everyone?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the right time?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
44 Truly, I say to you that he will set him over all that he has.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, My master is delaying his coming, and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,
46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him apart and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant who knew his masters will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
49 I came to throw fire on the earth, and what will I if it is already kindled.
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished.
51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.
52 For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Then He also said to the multitudes, Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, A thunder storm is coming; and so it happens.
55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
56 Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?
57 Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?
58 When you go with your adversary to the ruler, make every effort along the way to settle with him, lest he drag you to the judge, the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
59 I tell you, you shall by no means depart from there till you have paid the very last mite.
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods.
29 And if your right eye snares you into sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.
10 Therefore remove vexation from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for childhood and black hair of youth are vanity.
22 And the rib which Jehovah God had taken out of the man He rebuilt into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 And the man said: This now at last is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.
24 Therefore a man, leaving his father and mother, and having cleaved to his wife, they are one flesh.
13 For by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
1 O God, You are my Mighty God. I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a flawless man, able also to bridle the whole body.
27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
26 My flesh and my heart waste away; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
22 A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
41 Watch and pray, that you not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.
8 It shall be healing to your navel and refreshment to your bones.
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
28 And do not fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who has power to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
16 Therefore we do not faint. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
3 And if I were to bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I were to give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
13 For You have possessed my inward parts; You covered me in my mothers womb.
14 I will give thanks unto You, for I am awesomely and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.
