Hebrews 13:1-2
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and He will stand upon the earth at last.”
When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.
Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.
Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.
There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with other Israelites in need.
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on Him. I have put my hope in His word.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
