Then Naomi said to her two daughters- in- law,“ Go back, each of you, to your mother’s home. May the Lord show you kindness, as you have shown kindness to your dead husbands and to me.

But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,“ Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

But on the way, Naomi said to her two daughters in law,“ Go back to your mothers’ homes. And may the Lord reward you for your kindness to your husbands and to me.

Naomi said to them,“ Each of you go back to your mother’s home. May the LORD show kindness to you as you have shown to the dead and to me.

But Naomi said to her two daughters in law,“ Go, return each of you to your mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,“ Go, return each to her mother’s house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

And Naomi said unto her two daughters- in- law, Go, return each of you to her mother’s house: Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

She said to them,“ Each of you go back to your mother’s home. May the Lord show faithful love to you as you have shown to the dead and to me.

And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law,“ Listen to me! Each of you should return to your mother’s home! May the LORD show you the same kind of devotion that you have shown to your deceased husbands and to me!

Naomi said to her two daughters- in- law,“ Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May Yahweh deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

Then Mahlon and Kilion also died. So Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

“ May the Lord bless him!” Naomi said to her daughter- in- law.“ The Lord is still being kind to those who are living and those who are dead.” She continued,“ That man is a close relative of ours. He’s one of our family protectors.”

Wives, follow the lead of your own husbands as you follow the Lord.

Wives, follow the lead of your husbands. That’s what the Lord wants you to do.

Scripture says,“ Honor your father and mother.” That is the first commandment that has a promise.“ Then things will go well with you. You will live a long time on the earth.”( Deuteronomy 5:16)

Work because you know that you will finally receive as a reward what the Lord wants you to have. You are slaves of the Lord Christ.

May the Lord show mercy to all who live in the house of Onesiphorus. He often encouraged me. He was not ashamed that I was being held by chains.In fact, it was just the opposite. When he was in Rome, he looked everywhere for me. At last he found me.May Onesiphorus find mercy from the Lord on the day Jesus returns as judge! You know very well how many ways Onesiphorus helped me in Ephesus.

But suppose you don’t want to serve him. Then choose for yourselves right now whom you will serve. You can choose the gods your people served east of the Euphrates River. Or you can serve the gods of the Amorites. After all, you are living in their land. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”Then the people answered Joshua,“ We would never desert the Lord! We would never serve other gods!The Lord our God himself brought us and our parents up out of Egypt. He brought us out of that land where we were slaves. With our own eyes, we saw those great signs he did. He kept us safe on our entire journey. He kept us safe as we traveled through all the nations.He drove them out to make room for us. That included the Amorites. They also lived in the land. We too will serve the Lord. That’s because he is our God.”Joshua said to the people,“ You aren’t able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He won’t forgive you when you disobey him. He won’t forgive you when you sin against him.Suppose you desert the Lord. Suppose you serve the gods that people in other lands serve. If you do, he will turn against you. He will bring trouble on you. He will destroy you, even though he has been good to you.”But the people said to Joshua,“ No! We will serve the Lord.”Then Joshua said,“ You are witnesses against yourselves. You have said that you have chosen to serve the Lord.”“ Yes. We are witnesses,” they replied.“ Now then,” said Joshua,“ throw away the statues of the gods that are among you. People from other lands serve those gods. Give yourselves completely to the Lord. He is the God of Israel.”Then the people said to Joshua,“ We will serve the Lord our God. We will obey him.”On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people. There at Shechem he reminded them of its rules and laws.He recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he got a large stone. He set it up in Shechem under the oak tree. It was near the place that had been set apart for the Lord.“ Look!” he said to all the people.“ This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has spoken to us. Suppose you aren’t faithful to your God. Then the stone will be a witness against you.”Joshua sent the people away. He sent all of them to their own shares of land.

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and spoke to them. He said,“ Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple.Whoever doesn’t carry their cross and follow me can’t be my disciple.“ Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you sit down first and figure out how much it will cost? Then you will see whether you have enough money to finish it.Suppose you start building and are not able to finish. Then everyone who sees what you have done will laugh at you.They will say,‘ This person started to build but wasn’t able to finish.’“ Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. And suppose he has 10,000 men, while the other has 20,000 coming against him. Won’t he first sit down and think about whether he can win?And suppose he decides he can’t win. Then he will send some men to ask how peace can be made. He will do this while the other king is still far away.In the same way, you must give up everything you have. Those of you who don’t cannot be my disciple.

I have received my full pay and have more than enough. I have everything I need. That’s because Epaphroditus brought me the gifts you sent. They are a sweet- smelling offering. They are a gift that God accepts. He is pleased with it.My God will meet all your needs. He will meet them in keeping with his wonderful riches. These riches come to you because you belong to Christ Jesus.
