"Therefore, everyone who listens to these messages of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.

"Everyone who keeps on hearing these messages of mine and never puts them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

He asked her, "What do you want?" She told him, "Promise that in your kingdom these two sons of mine will sit on your right and on your left."

His son replied, "I don't want to,' but later he changed his mind and went.

Jesus told him, ""You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your mint, dill, and cummin, but have neglected the more important matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

The king will answer them, "I tell all of you with certainty, since you did it for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did it for me.'

When his family heard about it, they went to restrain him, because they kept saying, "He's out of his mind!"

When they came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'

He displayed his mighty power with his arm. He scattered people who were proud in mind and heart.

So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened.

He answered, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself."

A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don't have anything to serve him.'

"How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, spices, and every kind of herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. These are the things you should have practiced, without neglecting the others.

But as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king bring them here and slaughter them in my presence!'"

It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom's friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom's voice. That's why this joy of mine is now complete.

Jesus replied to them, "My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me.

Jesus replied, "This voice is for your benefit, not for mine.

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not perceive with their eyes, and understand with their mind and turn, and I would heal them."

The one who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The words that you're hearing me say are not mine, but come from the Father who sent me.

He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said, "He will take what is mine and declare it to you.'

All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified through them.

With one mind, all of them kept devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women (including Mary the mother of Jesus) and his brothers.

The other people told her, "You're out of your mind!" But she kept insisting that it was so. Then they said, "It's his angel."

Then the tribune replied, "I paid a lot of money for this citizenship of mine."

As he continued his defense, Festus shouted, "You're out of your mind, Paul! Too much education is driving you crazy!"

But Paul said, "I'm not out of my mind, Your Excellency Festus. I'm reporting what is absolutely true.

that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

but I see in my body a different principle waging war with the Law in my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin that exists in my body.

Thank God through Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, because with my mind I myself can serve the Law of God, even while with my human nature I serve the law of sin.

That is why the mind that focuses on human nature is hostile toward God. It refuses to submit to the authority of God's Law because it is powerless to do so.

For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now a hope that can be observed is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?

and the one who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to God's will.

Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become his advisor?

One person decides in favor of one day over another, while another person decides that all days are the same. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind:

Therefore, let's no longer criticize each other. Instead, make up your mind not to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

so that with one mind and one voice you might glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

But as it is written, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him."

For "Who has known the mind of the Lord so that he can advise him?" However, we have the mind of the Messiah.

However, if a man stands firm in his resolve, feels no necessity, and has made up his mind to keep her a virgin, he will be acting appropriately.

That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I fight, not like someone shadow boxing.

For if I pray in a foreign language, my spirit prays but my mind is not productive.

What does this mean? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind. I will sing psalms with my spirit, but I will also sing psalms with my mind.

But in church I would rather speak five words with my mind to instruct others than 10,000 words in a foreign language.

Now if the whole church gathers in the same place and everyone is speaking in foreign languages, when uneducated people or unbelievers come in, they will say that you are out of your mind, won't they?

For it is only right for me to think this way about all of you, because you're constantly on my mind. Both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, all of you are partners with me in this privilege.

Then your rejoicing in the Messiah Jesus will increase along with mine when I visit with you again.

The only thing that matters is that you continue to live as good citizens in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Messiah. Then, whether I come to see you or whether I stay away, I may hear all about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, struggling with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

then fill me with joy by having the same attitude, sharing the same love, being united in spirit, and keeping one purpose in mind.

Let no one who delights in humility and the worship of angels cheat you out of the prize by rejoicing about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up for no reason by his carnal mind.

Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you,

With this in mind, we always pray for you, asking that our God might make you worthy of his calling and that through his power he might help you accomplish every good desire and faithful action.

With this purpose in mind, he called you through our proclamation of the gospel so that you would obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand. This is the mark in every letter of mine. It is the way I write.

and incessant conflict between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth. They think that godliness is a way to make a profit.

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and their faith is a counterfeit.

but Jesus became a priest with an oath when God told him, "The Lord has taken an oath and will not change his mind. You are a priest forever."

This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is sitting. They are also seven kings.
