So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.

And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

…just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.

For it is just like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted them with his possessions.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

For just as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other, so will be the Son of Man in His day.

The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.

For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.

And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,

For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),

Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”

For just as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:

But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

At that time, however, the son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now.

While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.

Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.

Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Then he cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
