Now I mean that the heir, as long as he is a minor, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything.

Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you at all!

This mystery is great – but I am actually speaking with reference to Christ and the church.

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.

Since I was confident that you would obey, I wrote to you, because I knew that you would do even more than what I am asking you to do.

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

But I say to you, do not resist the evildoer. But whoever strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to him as well.

When Jesus heard this he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found such faith in anyone in Israel!

I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

For this reason I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

I tell you that on the day of judgment, people will give an account for every worthless word they speak.

and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!

And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven!

Again I say, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”

So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Then he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

For this reason I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

For I tell you, you will not see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
