Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be of the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the rulers, at the Word of Jehovah.

And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for their good and for the good of their children after them.

Now the multitude of those believing were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

Now I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be completely fitted together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Only, let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or self-glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others as surpassing himself.

Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

Finally, all of you be of one mind, sympathetic; loving the brothers, be tenderhearted, be kind;

i1 [A Song of Ascents of David.] i0 par Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in things beyond my understanding.

Surely my soul has been calm and quiet, like a child weaned by his mother; my soul is like a weaned child.

And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says Jehovah. But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places wherever you go.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of Heaven?

and said, Truly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of Heaven.

And He said to her, What do you wish? She said to Him, Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.

And He said to them, You will indeed drink My cup, and be immersed with the immersion that I am immersed with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.

And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave;

And the devil said to Him, All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

And Jesus answered and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, You shall do homage to the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.

For it is written: He shall give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you,

And there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered greater.

But not so among you; rather, he who is greater among you, let him be as the younger, and he who leads as he who serves.

not exercising dominion over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.

And it was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

And all who dwell on the earth will do homage to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

If I despised the cause of my male or female servant when they have a dispute with me,

Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

Behold, the Mighty God is great, and refuses no one; He is mighty in strength and heart.

He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; he who is glad at calamities shall not go unpunished.

All the brothers of the poor man hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him? He pursues them with words, yet they are nowhere to be found.

He who has pity upon the poor lends to Jehovah, and He will make compensation for what he has given.

What is desired of a man is his kindness; and a poor man is better than a liar.

Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Observe the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

For you have the poor with you always, but you do not always have Me.

And He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.

I have strength for all things in Christ who strengthens me.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, By no means will I ever leave you nor ever forsake you.

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

But you have dishonored the poor. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to the judgment seats?

For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, that you not be wise within yourselves, that hardness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and understanding in their own sight!

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise.

We are foolish because of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are distinguished, but we are dishonored.

I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise person among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren?

And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show his works out of good conduct, in the meekness of wisdom.

This wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, fair, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
