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.

Naomi said to her two daughters- in- law,“ Both of you go back. Each of you go to your own mother’s home. You were kind to your husbands, who have died. You have also been kind to me. So may the Lord be just as kind to you.

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.

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.

both Mahlon and Kilion died. This left Naomi alone, without her two sons or her husband.

“ May the Lord bless him!” Naomi told her daughter in law.“ He is showing his kindness to us as well as to your dead husband. That man is one of our closest relatives, one of our family redeemers.”

For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.

“ Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise:If you honor your father and mother,“ things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”

Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

May the Lord show special kindness to Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and encouraged me. He was never ashamed of me because I was in chains.When he came to Rome, he searched everywhere until he found me.May the Lord show him special kindness on the day of Christ’s return. And you know very well how helpful he was in Ephesus.

But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”The people replied,“ We would never abandon the Lord and serve other gods.For the Lord our God is the one who rescued us and our ancestors from slavery in the land of Egypt. He performed mighty miracles before our very eyes. As we traveled through the wilderness among our enemies, he preserved us.It was the Lord who drove out the Amorites and the other nations living here in the land. So we, too, will serve the Lord, for he alone is our God.”Then Joshua warned the people,“ You are not able to serve the Lord, for he is a holy and jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins.If you abandon the Lord and serve other gods, he will turn against you and destroy you, even though he has been so good to you.”But the people answered Joshua,“ No, we will serve the Lord!”“ You are a witness to your own decision,” Joshua said.“ You have chosen to serve the Lord.”“ Yes,” they replied,“ we are witnesses to what we have said.”“ All right then,” Joshua said,“ destroy the idols among you, and turn your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”The people said to Joshua,“ We will serve the Lord our God. We will obey him alone.”So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day at Shechem, committing them to follow the decrees and regulations of the Lord.Joshua recorded these things in the Book of God’s Instructions. As a reminder of their agreement, he took a huge stone and rolled it beneath the terebinth tree beside the Tabernacle of the Lord.Joshua said to all the people,“ This stone has heard everything the Lord said to us. It will be a witness to testify against you if you go back on your word to God.”Then Joshua sent all the people away to their own homelands.

A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them,“ If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else— your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters— yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.“ But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you.They would say,‘ There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’“ Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him?And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away.So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.

At the moment I have all I need— and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God.And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
