Honoring God

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your crops;

Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect,
