Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to
do them; that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the
LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and
honey. |
| 6 |
And these words which I command you this day
shall be upon your heart;
Psalms 18:
2 - 4, 47, 51
|
| 2 |
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my
deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my
salvation, my stronghold. |
| 3 |
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be
praised, and I am saved from my enemies. |
| 4 |
The cords of death encompassed me, the
torrents of perdition assailed me; |
| 47 |
the God who gave me vengeance and subdued
peoples under me; |
Hebrews 7:
23 - 28
|
| 23 |
The former priests were many in number,
because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;
|
| 24 |
but he holds his priesthood permanently,
because he continues for ever. |
| 25 |
Consequently he is able for all time to save
those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make
intercession for them. |
| 26 |
For it was fitting that we should have such
a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above
the heavens. |
| 27 |
He has no need, like those high priests, to
offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people;
he did this once for all when he offered up himself. |
| 28 |
Indeed, the law appoints men in their
weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the
law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.
Mark 12: 28
- 34
|
| 28 |
And one of the scribes came up and heard
them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked
him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" |
| 29 |
Jesus answered, "The first is, `Hear, O
Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; |
| 30 |
and you shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all
your strength.' |
| 31 |
The second is this, `You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
|
| 32 |
And the scribe said to him, "You are right,
Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;
|
| 33 |
and to love him with all the heart, and with
all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as
oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
|
| 34 |
And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely,
he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one
dared to ask him any question. |
