Behold, the Lord GOD helps me; who will
declare me guilty? Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment; the moth
will eat them up.
Psalms 116:
1 - 6, 8 - 9
|
| 1 |
I love the LORD, because he has heard my
voice and my supplications. |
| 2 |
Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore
I will call on him as long as I live. |
| 3 |
The snares of death encompassed me; the
pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
|
| 4 |
Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O
LORD, I beseech thee, save my life!" |
| 5 |
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God
is merciful. |
| 6 |
The LORD preserves the simple; when I was
brought low, he saved me. |
| 8 |
For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; |
| 9 |
I walk before the LORD in the land of the
living. |
James 2: 14
- 18
|
| 14 |
What does it profit, my brethren, if a man
says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? |
| 15 |
If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in
lack of daily food, |
| 16 |
and one of you says to them, "Go in peace,
be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what
does it profit? |
| 17 |
So faith by itself, if it has no works, is
dead. |
| 18 |
But some one will say, "You have faith and I
have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will
show you my faith. |
Mark 8: 27
- 35
|
| 27 |
And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the
villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do
men say that I am?" |
| 28 |
And they told him, "John the Baptist; and
others say, Eli'jah; and others one of the prophets." |
| 29 |
And he asked them, "But who do you say that
I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ." |
| 30 |
And he charged them to tell no one about
him. |
| 31 |
And he began to teach them that the Son of
man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests
and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
|
| 32 |
And he said this plainly. And Peter took
him, and began to rebuke him. |
| 33 |
But turning and seeing his disciples, he
rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of
God, but of men." |
| 34 |
And he called to him the multitude with his
disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny
himself and take up his cross and follow me. |
| 35 |
For whoever would save his life will lose
it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.
