She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they got up and went away that [very] night.

[Alas for] those who lie on beds of ivory and lounge on their couches, and those eating young rams from [the] sheep and goats, and bull-calves from the middle of [the] animal stall.

[Alas for those] who drink from sprinkling bowls of wine and anoint themselves with the best of olive oils and are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph.

Now one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he entered into the house of the Pharisee [and] reclined at the table.

We have come to know love by this: that {he} laid down his life on behalf of us, and we ought to lay down our lives on behalf of the brothers. read more.

By this the love of God is revealed in us: that God sent his one and only Son into the world in order that we may live through him. read more.
In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son [to be the] propitiation for our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
