22Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but by this time the boat, battered by the waves,…

15Brothers and sisters, I give an example from daily life: once a person’s will has been ratified, no one adds to it or annuls it. 16Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring; it does not say, “And to offsprings,” as of many; but it says, “And to your offspring,” that is,…

1Guard your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better than the sacrifice offered by fools; for they do not know how to keep from doing evil. 2Never be rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be quick to utter a word before God, for God…

1 Sing aloud to God our strength;shout for joy to the God of Jacob.2 Raise a song, sound the tambourine,the sweet lyre with the harp.3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon,at the full moon, on our festal day.4 For it is a statute for Israel,an ordinance of the God of Jacob.5 He made it…

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,2 will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress;my God, in whom I trust.”3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowlerand from the deadly pestilence;4 he will cover you with his pinions,and…
