Romans 8:28

28And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
2 Corinthians 4:7-15
View in: NAB
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God, and not of us.
8In all things we suffer tribulation, but are not distressed; we are straitened, but are not destitute;
9We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken; we are cast down, but we perish not:
10Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies.
11For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake; that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe, for which cause we speak also:
14Knowing that he who raised up Jesus, will raise us up also with Jesus, and place us with you.
15For all things are for your sakes; that the grace abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God.
Matthew 20:20-28
View in: NAB
20Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
21Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
22And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.
23He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
25But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.
26It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:
27And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
28Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.
Exodus 33:7-11; 34:5
View in: NAB
337Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without the camp afar off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant. And all the people that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of the covenant, without the camp.
8And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.
9And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
10And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. And they stood, and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
11And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
345And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.
Matthew 13:36-43
View in: NAB
36Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.
37Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.
38And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.
39And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
40Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.
41The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
42And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Exodus 34:29-35
View in: NAB
29And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.
30And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.
31And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.
32And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.
33And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.
34But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.
35And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
Matthew 13:44-46
View in: NAB
44The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
46Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Exodus 40:16-21,34-38
View in: NAB
16And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
17And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
18And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
19And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
20And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
21Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
34If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
35If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
36For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
Matthew 13:47-53
View in: NAB
47Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.
48Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
49So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.
50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
52He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
53And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.

19And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?
27She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

38Now it came to pass as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.
39And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord’s feet, heard his word.
40But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? speak to her therefore, that she help me.
41And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things:
42But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Leviticus 25:1,8-17

1And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
8Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:
9And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.
10And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
11Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
12Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
13In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
14When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
15And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
16The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
17Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.

1At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.
2And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
3For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.
4For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
6But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
7Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
8But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
9And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
12And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.

1All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any price.
2Why do you spend money for that which is not breed, and your labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted in fatness.
3Incline your ear and come to me: hear and your soul shall lire, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David.

35Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?
37But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
38For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

13Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
14And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.
16But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
17They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
18He said to them: Bring them hither to me.
19And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
20And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
21And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.

11And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
345And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

36Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.
37Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.
38And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.
39And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
40Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.
41The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
42And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Exodus 34:29-35

29And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.
30And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.
31And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.
32And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.
33And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.
34But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.
35And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
Matthew 13:44-46

44The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
46Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.

16And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
17And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
18And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
19And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
20And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
21Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
34If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
35If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
36For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
Matthew 13:47-53

47Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.
48Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
49So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.
50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
52He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
53And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.

19And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?
27She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

1And the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying:
8Thou shalt also number to thee seven weeks of years, that is to say, seven times seven, which together make forty-nine years:
9And thou shalt sound the trumpet in the seventh month, the tenth day of the month, in the time of the expiation in all your land.
10And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:
11Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,
12Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.
13In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.
14When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.
15And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.
16The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.
17Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.

1At the time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.
2And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
3For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother’s wife.
4For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
6But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
7Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
8But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
9And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
12And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.

1All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any price.
2Why do you spend money for that which is not breed, and your labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted in fatness.
3Incline your ear and come to me: hear and your soul shall lire, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David.

35Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?
37But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
38For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

13Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
14And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals.
16But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
17They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
18He said to them: Bring them hither to me.
19And when he had commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
20And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
21And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
