2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

12 For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper.

22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent[b] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’
