And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.

I will say to the north, Give them up; and to the south, Do not keep them back; send back my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth; Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.

When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.

And will be a Father to you; and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord, the Ruler of all.

And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him

Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.

There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother.

Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.

To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name: Whose birth was from God and not from blood, or from an impulse of the flesh and man's desire.

For whoever does the pleasure of my Father in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Whoever does God's pleasure, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

But he said to them in answer, My mother and my brothers are those who have knowledge of the word of God and do it.

And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.

Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men; But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you; But I will make his place in my house and in my kingdom certain for ever; and the seat of his authority will never be overturned.

And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.

And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said, This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said, And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.read more.
Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.

But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people. And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.

There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down, Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace; And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

Taking care to keep the harmony of the Spirit in the yoke of peace.

As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.

So then, let us go after the things which make peace, and the things by which we may be a help to one another.

Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.

If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you, While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.

Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

The upright man is a guide to his neighbour, but the way of evil-doers is a cause of error to them.

A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.

And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.

Husbands, have love for your wives, and be not bitter against them.

The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher; Not quickly moved to wrath or blows, but gentle; no fighter, no lover of money; Ruling his house well, having his children under control with all serious behaviour;read more.
(For if a man has not the art of ruling his house, how will he take care of the church of God?)

Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do. No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband; but she whose behaviour is a cause of shame is like a wasting disease in his bones.
