And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. ‘
This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Whoever desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow Me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all things that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Yet it shall not be so among you;
but whoever desires to become great
among you, let him be your servant.
Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to you.
Judge not, that you be not judged.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added to you.
You have heard that it was said to those of old,
You shall not commit adultery? But I say to you
that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her
has already committed adultery with her in his
heart.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,
Says the LORD of hosts.
