This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.If anyone has this world’s goods and sees a fellow believer in need but withholds compassion from him— how does God’s love reside in him?Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.

Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I waited for sympathy, but there was none; for comforters, but found no one.

The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will himself also call out and not be answered.

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority. My people love it like this. But what will you do at the end of it?

“ I wish one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would no longer kindle a useless fire on my altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the LORD of Armies,“ and I will accept no offering from your hands.

Rescue those being taken off to death, and save those stumbling toward slaughter.If you say,“ But we didn’t know about this,” won’t he who weighs hearts consider it? Won’t he who protects your life know? Won’t he repay a person according to his work?

A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends, even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflowand become darkened because of ice, and the snow melts into them.The wadis evaporate in warm weather; they disappear from their channels in hot weather.Caravans turn away from their routes, go up into the desert, and perish.The caravans of Tema look for these streams. The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.They are ashamed because they had been confident of finding water. When they arrive there, they are disappointed.So this is what you have now become to me. When you see something dreadful, you are afraid.

“ I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied,“ and there was Saul, leaning on his spear. At that very moment the chariots and the cavalry were closing in on him.

My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction, and my relatives stand at a distance.

For judgment is without mercy to the one who has not shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Can such faith save him?If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily foodand one of you says to them,“ Go in peace, stay warm, and be well fed,” but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it?
