Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Have respect for the Lord and avoid evil.

Finally, I want all of you to agree with one another. Be understanding. Love one another. Be kind and tender. Be humble.

Don’t be controlled by love for money. Be happy with what you have. God has said,“ I will never leave you. I will never desert you.”( Deuteronomy 31:6)

How terrible it will be for those who think they are wise! How terrible for those who think they are really clever!

Is anyone among you wise and understanding? That person should show it by living a good life. A wise person isn’t proud when they do good deeds.But suppose your hearts are jealous and bitter. Suppose you are concerned only about getting ahead. Then don’t brag about it. And don’t say no to the truth.Wisdom like this doesn’t come down from heaven. It belongs to the earth. It doesn’t come from the Holy Spirit. It comes from the devil.Are you jealous? Are you concerned only about getting ahead? Then your life will be a mess. You will be doing all kinds of evil things.But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.

Brothers and sisters, here is a mystery I want you to understand. It will keep you from being proud. Part of Israel has refused to obey God. That will continue until the full number of Gentiles has entered God’s kingdom.

Our God is a God who strengthens and encourages you. May he give you the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had.

If any of these things has happened to you, then agree with one another. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and in the way you think and act. By doing this, you will make my joy complete.Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus. They asked him,“ Then who is the most important person in the kingdom of heaven?”Jesus called a little child over to him. He had the child stand among them.Jesus said,“ What I’m about to tell you is true. You need to change and become like little children. If you don’t, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Anyone who takes the humble position of this child is the most important in the kingdom of heaven.

Those who think they know something still don’t know as they should.

Do you see a person who is wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a foolish person than for them.

They also started to argue. They disagreed about which of them was thought to be the most important person.Jesus said to them,“ The kings of the Gentiles hold power over their people. And those who order them around call themselves Protectors.But you must not be like that. Instead, the most important among you should be like the youngest. The one who rules should be like the one who serves.Who is more important? Is it the one at the table, or the one who serves? Isn’t it the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

God’s grace has been given to me. So here is what I say to every one of you. Don’t think of yourself more highly than you should. Be reasonable when you think about yourself. Keep in mind the faith God has given to each of you.

He said to Jesus,“ I will give you all their authority and glory. It has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.If you worship me, it will all be yours.”Jesus answered,“ It is written,‘ Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve.’ ”( Deuteronomy 6:13)Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem. He had Jesus stand on the highest point of the temple.“ If you are the Son of God,” he said,“ throw yourself down from here.It is written,“‘ The Lord will command his angels to take good care of you.They will lift you up in their hands. Then you won’t trip over a stone.’ ”( Psalm 91:11, 12)

So should you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. I will bring trouble on everyone,” announces the Lord.“ But no matter where you go, I will let you escape with your life.” ’ ”

Don’t fool yourselves. Suppose some of you think you are wise by the standards of the world. Then you should become“ fools” so that you can become wise.

Finally, brothers and sisters, be joyful! Work to make things right with one another. Help one another and agree with one another. Live in peace. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.

You will always have poor people with you. But you will not always have me.

Blind people receive sight. Disabled people walk. Those who have skin diseases are made‘ clean.’ Deaf people hear. Those who are dead are raised to life. And the good news is preached to those who are poor.

You gain a lot when you live a godly life. But you must be happy with what you have.We didn’t bring anything into the world. We can’t take anything out of it.If we have food and clothing, we will be happy with that.People who want to get rich are tempted. They fall into a trap. They are tripped up by wanting many foolish and harmful things. Those who live like that are dragged down by what they do. They are destroyed and die.

Brothers and sisters, I make my appeal to you. I do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that all of you agree with one another in what you say. I ask that you don’t take sides. I ask that you are in complete agreement in all that you think.

But when you give a banquet, invite those who are poor. Also invite those who can’t see or walk.

Jesus looked at his disciples. He said to them,“ Blessed are you who are needy. God’s kingdom belongs to you.

“ I tell you, do not worry. Don’t worry about your life and what you will eat or drink. And don’t worry about your body and what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than eating? Aren’t there more important things for the body than clothes?Look at the birds of the air. They don’t plant or gather crops. They don’t put away crops in storerooms. But your Father who is in heaven feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than they are?

We are fools for Christ. But you are so wise in Christ! We are weak. But you are so strong! You are honored. But we are looked down on!

Here is what I’m asking Euodia and Syntyche to do. I’m asking them to work together in the Lord. That’s because they both belong to the Lord.

I’m not saying this because I need anything. I have learned to be content no matter what happens to me.I know what it’s like not to have what I need. I also know what it’s like to have more than I need. I have learned the secret of being content no matter what happens. I am content whether I am well fed or hungry. I am content whether I have more than enough or not enough.I can do all this by the power of Christ. He gives me strength.

Only let us live up to what we have already reached.

“ God is mighty, but he doesn’t hate people. He’s mighty, and he knows exactly what he’s going to do.

“ What do you want?” Jesus asked. She said,“ Promise me that one of my two sons may sit at your right hand in your kingdom. Promise that the other one may sit at your left hand.”“ You don’t know what you’re asking for,” Jesus said to them.“ Can you drink the cup of suffering I am going to drink?”“ We can,” they answered.Jesus said to them,“ You will certainly drink from my cup. But it is not for me to say who will sit at my right or left hand. These places belong to those my Father has prepared them for.”The other ten disciples heard about this. They became angry at the two brothers.Jesus called them together. He said,“ You know about the rulers of the Gentiles. They hold power over their people. Their high officials order them around.Don’t be like that. Instead, anyone who wants to be important among you must be your servant.And anyone who wants to be first must be your slave.Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.”

No matter what happens, live in a way that brings honor to the good news about Christ. Then I will know that you remain strong together in the one Spirit. I will know this if I come and see you or only hear about you. I will know that you work together as one person. I will know that you work to spread the teachings about the good news.

I say this to shame you. Is it possible that no one among you is wise enough to judge matters between believers?

All the believers were agreed in heart and mind. They didn’t claim that anything they had was their own. Instead, they shared everything they owned.

Everyone longs for love that never fails. It is better to be poor than to be a liar.

Anyone who is kind to poor people lends to the Lord. God will reward them for what they have done.

God helped the people of Judah. He helped them agree with one another. So they did what the king and his officials had ordered. They did what the Lord told them to do.

I will give them a single purpose in life. Then, they will always have respect for me. Then all will go well for them. And it will also go well for their children after them.

Poor people are avoided by their whole family. Their friends avoid them even more. The poor person runs after his friends to beg for help. But they can’t be found.

Anyone who laughs at those who are poor makes fun of their Maker. Anyone who is happy when others suffer will be punished.

Lord, my heart isn’t proud. My eyes aren’t proud either. I don’t concern myself with important matters. I don’t concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me.I have made myself calm and content like a young child in its mother’s arms. Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child.

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? (niv)

By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? (niv)

It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast— all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

“ If I have denied justice to any of my servants, whether male or female, when they had a grievance against me,what will I do when God confronts me?
