19 Have you not known that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which you have from God? And you are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

27 but I bruise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.

3 and if I give away all my goods to feed others, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and do not have love, I am profited nothing.

13 for also in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all were made to drink one Spirit,

4 for as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same office, 5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and members of one another—each one.

8 for bodily exercise is to little profit, but piety is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;

22 A rejoicing heart does good to the body, || And a struck spirit dries the bone.

24 Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, || Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes, || Fear YHWH, and turn aside from evil. 8 It is healing to your navel, || And moistening to your bones.

13 For You have possessed my reins, || You cover me in my mother’s belly. 14 I confess You, because I have been fearfully distinguished. Your works [are] wonderful, || And my soul is knowing [it] well.

26 My flesh and my heart have been consumed, || God [is] the rock of my heart and my portion for all time.

1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, || My soul has thirsted for You, || My flesh has longed for You, || In a dry and weary land, without waters.

41 Watch, and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak."

29 But if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you, for it is good to you that one of your members may perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.

25 Because of this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat, and what you may drink, nor for your body, what you may put on. Is not life more than nourishment, and the body than clothing?

28 And do not be afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, "Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; 2 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known; 3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops. 4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do; 5 but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God, 7 but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows. 8 And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God, 9 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God, 10 and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say." 13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, "Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance." 14 And He said to him, "Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?" 15 And He said to them, "Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods." 16 And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, "Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well; 17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits? 18 And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things, 19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry. 20 And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]? 21 So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God." 22 And He said to His disciples, "Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on; 23 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds? 25 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit? 26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these; 28 and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith? 29 And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense, 30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things; 31 but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you. 32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom; 33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy; 34 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning, 36 and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him. 37 Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them; 38 and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants. 39 And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through; 40 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes." 41 And Peter said to Him, "Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?" 42 And the LORD said, "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure? 43 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so; 44 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods. 45 And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken, 46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful. 47 And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes, 48 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him. 49 I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled! 50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished! 51 Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division; 52 for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three; 53 a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." 54 And He also said to the multitudes, "When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so; 55 and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is; 56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time? 57 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous? 58 For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison; 59 I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back."

10 And turn aside anger from your heart, || And cause evil to pass from your flesh, || For the childhood and the age [are] vanity!

4 one body and one Spirit, according as you were also called in one hope of your calling;

22 The wives: [subject yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the LORD, 23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the Assembly, and He is Savior of the body,

15 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.

22 And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man; 23 and the man says, "This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!" For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from Man; 24 therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.

16 for this reason, we do not faint, but if our outward man also decays, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

24 who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree that having died to sins, we may live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed;

2 for we all make many stumbles; if anyone does not stumble in word, this one [is] a perfect man, able to also bridle the whole body;
