    6 With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come beforehim with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my bodyfor the sin of my soul? 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require ofyou? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

    31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his gloriousthrone. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one fromanother as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right andthe goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by myFather; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For Iwas hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, Iwas a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and youlooked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him,‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Whendid we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we seeyou sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did forone of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

    1 Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. 2 Thenext Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. Theyasked, “Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?” 3 Then theyscoffed, “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary[a] and the brother of James, Joseph,[b] Judas, andSimon. And his sisters live right here among us.” They were deeply offended and refused to believe inhim. 4 Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown andamong his relatives and his own family.” 5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miraclesamong them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

    1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong ora clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all Ipossess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, Igain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It doesnot dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Lovedoes not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there aretongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and weprophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, Italked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the waysof childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face toface. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these threeremain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

    1 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and set it up onthe plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 He then summoned the satraps, prefects, governors,advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedicationof the image he had set up. 3 So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges,magistrates and all the other provincial officials assembled for the dedication of the image that KingNebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it. 4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “Nationsand peoples of every language, this is what you are commanded to do: 5 As soon as you hear thesound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worshipthe image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. 6 Whoever does not fall down and worshipwill immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.” 7 Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of thehorn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language felldown and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 8 At this time someastrologers came forward and denounced the Jews. 9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May theking live forever! 10 Your Majesty has issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn,flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, 11and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But thereare some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshachand Abednego—who pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worshipthe image of gold you have set up.” 13 Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, 14 and Nebuchadnezzar saidto them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship theimage of gold I have set up? 15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipeand all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But ifyou do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will beable to rescue you from my hand?” 16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “KingNebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are throwninto the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from YourMajesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serveyour gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
