169 Let my complaint come before You, O LORD. And give me understanding according to Your Word.
170 Let my supplication come before You and deliver me according to Your Promise.
171 My lips shall speak praise, when You have taught me Your Statutes.
172 My tongue shall testify of Your Word. For all Your Commandments are righteous.
173 Let Your hand help me, for I have chosen Your Precepts.
174 I have longed for Your salvation, O LORD; and Your Law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; and Your Judgments shall help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek Your servant, for I do not forget Your Commandments. A song of degrees
11 And an old Prophet dwelt in Bethel. And his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. And they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12 And their father said to them, “What way did he go?” And his sons told him what way the man of God had gone, who came from Judah.
13 And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So, they saddled the donkey for him. And he rode on it,
14 and went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak. And he said to him, “Art you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “Yes.”
15 Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
16 But he answered, “I may neither return with you nor go in with you. Nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 “For I was charged by the Word of the LORD: “You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there, nor turn back to go by the way that you went.”
18 And he said to him, “I am also a Prophet, as you are. And an angel spoke to me by the Word of the LORD, saying, “Bring him back with you into your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.” But he lied to him.
19 So he went back with him and ate bread in his house and drank water.
20 And as they sat at the table, the Word of the LORD came to the Prophet who had brought him back.
21 And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Because you have disobeyed the Mouth of the LORD, and have not kept the Commandment which the LORD your God Commanded you,
22 ‘(but came back again and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, “You shall eat no bread nor drink any water)”, your carcass shall not come to the sepulcher of your fathers.’”
23 And when he had eaten bread and drunk, he saddled his donkey for him (for the Prophet whom he had brought back).
24 And when he had gone, a lion met him by the road and killed him. And his body was cast in the road. And the donkey stood nearby. The lion also stood by the corpse.
25 And behold, men who passed by saw the carcass cast in the road, and the Lion standing by the corpse. And they came and told it in the town where the old Prophet dwelt.
3 If you, then, are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.
2 Set your mind on things which are above, not on things which are on the Earth.
3 For you have died, and your life has been hidden with Christ in God.
4 When Christ (Who is your life) is revealed, then you shall also be revealed with Him in Glory.
5 Therefore, mortify those parts of your body which are of the Earth: fornication, impurity, depraved passions, lust, and covetousness (which is idolatry),
6 for the sake of which things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience;
7 and wherein also you once walked when you lived in them.
8 But now, however, take all these things out of your mouth also: anger, wrath, malice, slander, foul language.
9 Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds
10 and having put on the new (who is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created him).
11 There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but all, and in all, is Christ.
