Lacketh

So, for this very cause, take every care; joining virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue,

And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.

And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

Because in Christ Jesus, having circumcision or not having circumcision are equally of no profit; but only faith working through love.

What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

Blind

These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.

For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.

That he

And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.

For with high-sounding false words, making use of the attraction of unclean desires of the flesh, they get into their power those newly made free from those who are living in error;

What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead;

But if we are walking in the light, as he is in the light, we are all united with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son makes us clean from all sin.

Keep with care the orders of the Lord your God, and his rules and his laws which he has given you;

When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house.

So take care that the light which is in you is not dark.
