How

So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

So he called the manager in and asked, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be my manager.’

Now we know that whatever the law says speaks to those who are subject to the law,

so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

Have

“The Jews,” he said, “have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin tomorrow, as though they are going to hold a somewhat more careful inquiry about him.

“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, ‘Let us go and worship other gods’—which neither you nor your fathers have known,

Be assured that the wicked
will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

Everyone with a proud heart is detestable to the Lord;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.

When you see a thief,
you make friends with him,
and you associate with adulterers.

Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:
the official and the judge demand a bribe;
when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,
they plot it together.

To tempt

Then Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the field?

So the people complained to Moses, “Give us water to drink.”

“Why are you complaining to me?” Moses replied to them. “Why are you testing the Lord?”

none of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tested Me these 10 times and did not obey Me,

They deliberately tested God,
demanding the food they craved.

Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the wilderness

Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

Let us not test Christ as some of them did and were destroyed by snakes.

The feet

The young men got up, wrapped his body, carried him out, and buried him.

Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger got to him, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Isn’t the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”

And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful

are the feet of those

who announce the gospel of good things!
