Mga Banal na Kasulatan	1 John 1 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Timothy 2 Gawa 6 Lucas 11 Lucas 6 Marcos 11 Marcos 13 Marcos 14 Matthew 5 Matthew 6 Psalms 5 Psalms 54 Psalms 6 Romans 8 1 John 1 1 Siya na buhat sa simula, na aming narinig, na nakita ng aming mga mata, na aming namasdan at nahawakan ng aming mga kamay, siya ang Salita ng buhay. 2 Ang buhay ay nahayag at nakita na namin at pinatotohanan namin at isinasalaysay namin sa inyo ang buhay na walang hanggan na iyon na kasama ng Ama at nahayag sa amin. 3 Siya na aming nakita at aming narinig ay isinasalaysay namin sa inyo upang kayo rin ay magkaroon ng pakikipag-isa sa amin. Tunay na ang aming pakikipag-isa ay sa Ama at sa kaniyang Anak na si Jesu-Cristo. 4 Isinusulat namin ang mga bagay na ito sa inyo upang malubos na ang inyong kagalakan. 5 Ito ang pahayag na narinig namin sa kaniya at ipinahahayag namin sa inyo, na ang Diyos ay liwanag at sa kaniya ay walang anumang kadiliman. 6 Kapag sinabi natin na may pakikipag-isa tayo sa kaniya ngunit tayo ay naglalakad sa kadiliman, tayo ay nagsisinungaling at hindi natin ginagawa ang katotohanan. 7 Ngunit kung naglalakad tayo sa liwanag, katulad niya na nasa liwanag, may pakikipag-isa tayo sa isa't isa at ang dugo ni Jesu-Cristo na kaniyang anak ang naglilinis sa atin mula sa lahat ng kasalanan. 8 Kapag sinabi natin na wala tayong kasalanan, dinadaya natin ang ating mga sarili at ang katotohanan ay wala sa atin. 9 Kung ipinapahayag natin ang ating mga kasalanan, siya ay matapat at matuwid na magpapatawad sa ating mga kasalanan at maglilinis sa atin sa lahat ng ating kalikuan. 10 Kapag sinabi natin na hindi na tayo nagkakasala, ginagawa natin siyang sinungaling at ang salita niya ay wala sa atin. 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Ngunit, mga kapatid, hindi na kinakailangang sumulat ako sa inyo patungkol sa mga panahon at mga kapanahunan 2 sapagkat kayo mismo ang lubos na nakaalam na ang Araw ng Panginoon ay dumarating katulad ng pagdating ng magnanakaw sa gabi. 3 Dahil kapag sinasabi nila, “Kapayapaan at katiwasayan!” pagkatapos nito ay biglang darating sa kanila ang pagkawasak katulad ng pagkakaroon ng matinding paghihirap sa sinapupunan, at sila ay hindi makakatakas kailanman. 4 Ngunit kayo, mga kapatid, ay wala sa kadiliman upang ang Araw na iyon ay biglang dumating sa inyo katulad ng pagdating ng magnanakaw. 5 Kayong lahat ay mga anak ng liwanag at mga anak ng araw. Tayo ay hindi mga anak ng gabi o ng kadiliman. 6 Kaya nga, huwag tayong matulog katulad ng iba, subalit tayo ay maging mapagbantay at maging maayos ang pag-iisip, 7 sapagkat sila na mga natutulog ay natutulog sa gabi at sila na mga manginginom ng alak ay naglalasing sa gabi. 8 Dahil tayo ay sa araw, dapat maging maayos ang ating pag-iisip habang nakasuot sa atin ang pandibdib na baluti ng pananampalataya at ang pag-ibig at ang helmet ng pag-asa ng kaligtasan, 9 sapagkat tayo ay hindi itinalaga ng Diyos para sa poot kundi para magtamo ng kaligtasan sa pamamagitan ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo 10 na siyang namatay para sa atin upang tayo rin ay mabuhay na kasama niya, kahit tayo man ay gising o tayo man ay tulog. 11 Dahil dito, palakasin ninyo ang loob ng bawat isa at patatagin ninyo ang isa't isa katulad din ng inyong ginagawa. 12 Ngunit kami ay humihiling sa inyo, mga kapatid, na inyong kilalanin yaong mga nagpapagal sa inyo at nangunguna sa inyo sa Panginoon at nagbibigay ng babala sa inyo, 13 at sila ay labis ninyong pahalagahan sa pag-ibig dahil sa kanilang gawa, at magkaroon kayo ng kapayapaan sa kalagitnaan ninyo. 14 Ngunit kami ay sumasamo sa inyo, mga kapatid, bigyan ninyo ng babala ang mga suwail, palakasin ninyo ang loob ng mga nanglulupaypay, tulungan ninyo ang mahihina at magtiyaga kayo sa lahat. 15 Ingatan ninyo na walang sinumang gaganti ng masama sa masama, sa halip ay palagi ninyong pagsikapan ang mabuti para sa isa't isa at para sa lahat. 16 Magalak kayong palagi. 17 Manalangin kayong walang patid. 18 Magpasalamat kayo sa lahat ng bagay sapagkat ito ang kalooban ng Diyos kay Cristo Jesus para sa inyo. 19 Huwag ninyong patayin ang ningas ng Espiritu. 20 Huwag ninyong hamakin ang mga paghahayag. 21 Suriin ninyo ang lahat ng mga bagay. Hawakan ninyo ang mabuti. 22 Layuan ninyo ang lahat ng anyo ng kasamaan. 23 Ngayon, ang Diyos mismo ng kapayapaan ang ganap na magpaging-banal nawa sa inyo, at ang inyong espiritu at kaluluwa at katawan ay maingatan nawang buo na walang kapintasan sa pagdating ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 24 Siya na tumatawag sa inyo ay matapat at siya rin ang gagawa nito. 25 Mga kapatid, ipanalangin ninyo kami. 26 Batiin ninyo ang lahat ng mga kapatid sa pamamagitan ng banal na halik. 27 Iniuutos ko sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng Panginoon na basahin ang sulat na ito sa lahat ng banal na mga kapatid. 28 Ang biyaya ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo ay sumainyo. Siya nawa. 1 Timothy 2 1 Kaya, una sa lahat ay aking isinasamo na gawin ang mga panalanging-paghiling, ang mga panalangin, ang mga panalanging-pamamagitan at pasasalamat para sa lahat ng mga tao, 2 para sa mga hari at para sa kanilang lahat na mga nasa pamamahala upang tayo ay makapamuhay ng mapayapa at matahimik sa lahat ng gawaing pagiging makadiyos at karangalan, 3 sapagkat ito ay mabuti at katanggap-tanggap sa harapan ng Diyos na ating Tagapagligtas 4 na siyang nagnanais na iligtas ang lahat ng mga tao at dalhin sa pagkakilala ng katotohanan. 5 Dahil isa ang Diyos at isa ang Tagapamagitan sa Diyos at sa mga tao, ang taong si Cristo Jesus 6 na siyang nagbigay ng kaniyang sarili na pantubos para sa lahat, ang patotoo sa takdang panahon. 7 Dahil dito, ako ay itinalaga na isang mangangaral at apostol, (ako ay nagsasabi ng katotohanan patungkol kay Cristo at ako ay hindi nagsisinungaling) isang guro ng mga Gentil sa pananampalataya at sa katotohanan. 8 Kaya ninanais ko na ang mga lalaki ay manalangin sa lahat ng dako na itinataas ang kanilang mga banal na kamay na walang poot at pag-aalinlangan. 9 Gayundin, ang mga babae naman ay magsigayak sa kanilang mga sarili ng maayos na kasuotan na may kahinhinan at maayos na pag-iisip: hindi nang nakatirintas ang buhok, ni nang ginto, ni nang perlas, ni nang mamahaling kasuotan, 10 kundi kung ano ang nararapat sa mga babae na nagsasabing sila ay sumasamba sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ng mabubuting gawa. 11 Hayaan na ang babae ay matuto ng pananahimik sa pagpapasakop sa lahat. 12 Ngunit sa babae ay hindi ko ipinapahintulot na magturo o pangunahan ang lalaki kundi upang manatiling tahimik, 13 sapagkat si Adan ang unang ginawa at pagkatapos ay si Eva. 14 At si Adan ay hindi nadaya, ngunit ang babae na totoong nadaya ang nasa pagsalangsang. 15 Gayunpaman, siya ay maililigtas sa pamamagitan ng panganganak kapag sila ay mananatili sa pananampalataya at sa pag-ibig at sa kabanalan na may maayos na pag-iisip. Acts 6 1 Sa mga araw na iyon, nang dumarami ang mga alagad, ay nagkaroon ng bulung-bulungan ang mga Helenista laban sa mga Hebreo sapagkat ang kanilang mga babaing balo ay nakakaligtaan sa araw-araw na paglilingkod. 2 Kaya tinawag ng labindalawa ang maraming alagad at sinabi, “Hindi nararapat na iwanan namin ang salita ng Diyos upang maglingkod sa mga hapag. 3 Dahil dito, mga kapatid, humanap kayo ng pitong lalaking mula sa inyo na may mabuting patotoo, puspos ng Banal na Espiritu at karunungan, na siyang itatalaga natin sa gawaing ito. 4 Ngunit kami ay matatag na magpapatuloy sa pananalangin at sa paglilingkod para sa salita.” 5 Ang salitang ito ay nagbigay-lugod sa harap ng buong karamihan. Kaya pinili nila si Esteban na lalaking puspos ng pananampalataya at ng Banal na Espiritu, at sina Felipe, Procoro, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas at Nicolas na taga-Antioquia na nagbago ng paniniwala. 6 Sila ay kanilang pinatayo sa harap ng mga apostol, at nang sila ay nanalangin, ipinatong ng mga apostol ang kanilang mga kamay sa kanila. 7 At lumaganap ang salita ng Diyos kaya ang bilang ng mga alagad sa Jerusalem ay lubhang dumami, at lubhang marami sa mga saserdote ang sumunod sa pananampalataya. 8 At si Esteban na puspos ng pananampalataya at kapangyarihan ay gumawa ng mga kamangha-manghang gawa at ng mga dakilang tanda sa kalagitnaan ng mga tao. 9 Ngunit may mga tumayo mula sa tinatawag na Sinagoga ng mga Pinalaya (ng mga taga-Cerene, ng mga taga-Alexandria at ng mga mula sa Silicia at sa Asya) na nakikipagtalo kay Esteban. 10 Subalit wala silang kakayahan upang labanan ang karunungan at ang Espiritu na sa pamamagitan nito ay nagsasalita siya. 11 Kaya nagsuhol sila sa mga lalaki na nagsasabi, “Narinig namin siya na nagsasalita ng mga mapaglapastangang pananalita laban kay Moises at laban sa Diyos.” 12 At kanilang ginulo ang mga tao, ang matatanda at ang mga eskriba. At sa kanilang pagtayo, sinunggaban nila si Esteban at dinala sa Sanhedrin. 13 Gayundin, nagharap sila ng mga bulaang saksi na nagsasabi, “Ang taong ito ay hindi tumitigil sa pagsasalita ng mga mapaglapastangang pananalita laban sa banal na dakong ito at sa Kautusan 14 sapagkat narinig namin siyang nagsasabi na itong si Jesus na taga-Nazaret ang wawasak ng dakong ito at babaguhin ang mga kaugalian na ibinigay ni Moises sa atin.” 15 At nang siya ay tinitigan ng lahat ng mga nakaupo sa Sanhedrin, nakita nila na ang kaniyang mukha ay katulad ng mukha ng anghel. Luke 11 1 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” 5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” 14 Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 24 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.” 27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” 29 When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. 35 Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” 37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. 38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. 39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. 42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.” 45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” 46 And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ 50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. 52 Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” 53 As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, 54 lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say. Luke 6 1 On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: 4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?” 5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.” 6 On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. 8 But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” 10 And after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus. 12 In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. 13 And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. 17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all. 20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. 24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. 27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. 32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. 37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” 39 He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. 43 “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, 44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” Mark 11 1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” 11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. 15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city. 20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” 27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” Mark 13 1 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 3 And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. 9 “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. 10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. 11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 “But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let the one who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, 16 and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 17 And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. 19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days. 21 And then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand. 24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, 25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. 28 “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. 30 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 32 “But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35 Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning— 36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” Mark 14 1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him, 2 for they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar from the people.” 3 And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. 4 There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? 5 For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they scolded her. 6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. 8 She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. 9 And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” 10 Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him. 12 And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, “Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 17 And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” 23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 27 And Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’ 28 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 29 Peter said to him, “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” 30 And Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” 31 But he said emphatically, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And they all said the same. 32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” 43 And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, “Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 And they all left him and fled. 51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. 53 And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. 54 And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire. 55 Now the chief priests and the whole Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none. 56 For many bore false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree. 57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even about this their testimony did not agree. 60 And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?” 61 But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” 62 And Jesus said, “I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” 63 And the high priest tore his garments and said, “What further witnesses do we need? 64 You have heard his blasphemy. What is your decision?” And they all condemned him as deserving death. 65 And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to strike him, saying to him, “Prophesy!” And the guards received him with blows. 66 And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came, 67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” 68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you mean.” And he went out into the gateway and the rooster crowed. 69 And the servant girl saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” 70 But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.” 71 But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” 72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” And he broke down and wept. Matthew 5 1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26 Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. 31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. 33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil. 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 6 1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 2 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 16 “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Psalm 5 1 Pakinggan mo ang aking mga salita, Oh Panginoon, pakundanganan mo ang aking pagbubulaybulay. 2 Dinggin mo ang tinig ng aking daing, Hari ko, at Dios ko; sapagka't sa iyo'y dumadalangin ako. 3 Oh Panginoon, sa kinaumagaha'y didinggin mo ang aking tinig; sa kinaumagahan ay aayusin ko ang aking dalangin sa iyo, at magbabantay ako. 4 Sapagka't ikaw ay di isang Dios na may kaluguran sa kasamaan: ang masama ay hindi tatahang kasama mo. 5 Ang hambog ay hindi tatayo sa iyong paningin: iyong kinapopootan ang lahat na mga manggagawa ng kalikuan. 6 Iyong lilipulin sila na nangagsasalita ng mga kabulaanan: kinayayamutan ng Panginoon ang taong mabangis at magdaraya, 7 Nguni't sa ganang akin, sa kasaganaan ng iyong kagandahang-loob ay papasok ako sa iyong bahay; sa takot sa iyo ay sasamba ako sa dako ng iyong banal na templo. 8 Patnubayan mo ako, Oh Panginoon, sa iyong katuwiran dahil sa aking mga kaaway; patagin mo ang iyong daan sa harapan ko. 9 Sapagka't walang pagtatapat sa kanilang bibig; ang kanilang kalooban ay tunay na kasamaan; ang kanilang lalamunan ay bukas na libingan; sila'y nanganunuya ng kanilang dila. 10 Bigyan mong sala sila, Oh Dios; ibuwal mo sila sa kanilang sariling mga payo: palayasin mo sila sa karamihan ng kanilang mga pagsalangsang; Sapagka't sila'y nanganghimagsik laban sa iyo, 11 Nguni't iyong pagalakin ang lahat na nagsisipagkanlong sa iyo, pahiyawin mo nawa sila sa kagalakan magpakailan man, sapagka't iyong ipinagsasanggalang sila: mangagalak nawa rin sa iyo ang nagsisiibig ng iyong pangalan. 12 Sapagka't iyong pagpapalain ang matuwid; Oh Panginoon, lilibirin mo siya ng paglingap na gaya ng isang kalasag. Psalm 54 1 Iligtas mo ako, Oh Dios, sa pamamagitan ng iyong pangalan. At hatulan mo ako sa iyong kapangyarihan. 2 Dinggin mo ang aking dalangin, Oh Dios; pakinggan mo ang mga salita ng aking bibig. 3 Sapagka't ang mga tagaibang lupa ay nagsibangon laban sa akin, at ang mga mangdadahas na tao ay nagsisiusig ng aking kaluluwa: hindi nila inilagay ang Dios sa harap nila. (Selah) 4 Narito, ang Dios ay aking katulong: ang Panginoon ay sa kanila na nagsisialalay ng aking kaluluwa. 5 Kaniyang ibabalik ang kasamaan sa aking mga kaaway: gibain mo sila sa iyong katotohanan. 6 Ako'y maghahain sa iyo ng kusang handog: ako'y magpapasalamat sa iyong pangalan, Oh Panginoon, sapagka't mabuti. 7 Sapagka't iniligtas niya ako sa lahat ng kabagabagan; at nakita ng aking mata ang aking nasa sa aking mga kaaway. Psalm 6 1 Oh Panginoon, huwag mo akong sawayin sa iyong galit, ni parusahan mo man ako sa iyong mahigpit na sama ng loob. 2 Maawa ka sa akin, Oh Panginoon; sapagka't ako'y naluluoy, Oh Panginoon, pagalingin mo ako; sapagka't ang aking mga buto ay nagsisipangalog. 3 Ang akin ding kaluluwa ay nababagabag na mainam: at ikaw, Oh Panginoon, hanggang kailan? 4 Bumalik ka, Oh Panginoon, palayain mo ang aking kaluluwa: iligtas mo ako alangalang sa iyong kagandahang-loob. 5 Sapagka't sa kamatayan ay walang alaala sa iyo; sa Sheol ay sinong mangagpapasalamat sa iyo? 6 Ako'y pagal ng aking pagdaing; gabigabi ay aking pinalalangoy ang aking higaan; Aking dinidilig ang aking hiligan ng aking mga luha. 7 Ang aking mga mata ay nangamumugto dahil sa kapanglawan; tumatanda ako dahil sa aking lahat na kaaway. 8 Magsilayo kayo sa akin, kayong lahat na manggagawa ng kasamaan: sapagka't narinig ng Panginoon ang tinig ng aking pagtangis. 9 Narinig ng Panginoon ang aking pananaing; tatanggapin ng Panginoon ang aking dalangin. 10 Lahat ng kaaway ko'y mapapahiya, at mababagabag na mainam: sila'y magsisibalik, sila'y mangapapahiyang kagyat. Romans 8 1 Kaya ngayon ay wala nang kahatulan sa kanila na na kay Cristo Jesus, sa kanila na lumalakad nang hindi ayon sa laman kundi ayon sa Espiritu 2 sapagkat ang kautusan ng Espiritu ng buhay, na na kay Cristo Jesus, ang nagpalaya sa akin mula sa kautusan ng kasalanan at ng kamatayan. 3 Sapagkat ang hindi magagawa ng kautusan, na pinahihina sa pamamagitan ng laman, ay ginawa ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng pagsugo ng sarili niyang anak sa anyo ng makasalanang tao. At patungkol sa kasalanan, hinatulan niya ang kasalanan sa laman 4 upang ang katuwiran ng kautusan ay matupad sa atin na mga lumalakad hindi ayon sa laman kundi ayon sa Espiritu. 5 Sapagkat sila na mga ayon sa laman ay itinutuon ang pag-iisip sa mga bagay ng laman, ngunit sila na mga ayon sa Espiritu ay itinutuon ang pag-iisip sa mga bagay ng Espiritu 6 dahil ang kaisipan ng laman ay kamatayan, ngunit ang kaisipan ng Espiritu ay buhay at kapayapaan. 7 Dahil ang kaisipan ng laman ay pakikipag-alitan sa Diyos sapagkat ito ay hindi nagpapasakop sa kautusan ng Diyos, ni hindi nga magagawang magpasakop. 8 Kaya sila na nasa laman ay hindi nakakapagbigay-lugod sa Diyos. 9 Ngunit kayo ay wala sa laman kundi nasa Espiritu kung ang Espiritu ng Diyos ay totoong nananahan sa inyo. Subalit kung ang sinuman ay walang Espiritu ni Cristo, siya ay hindi sa kaniya. 10 At yamang si Cristo ay nasa inyo, ang katawan nga ay patay dahil sa kasalanan subalit ang Espiritu ang nagbibigay buhay dahil sa katuwiran. 11 Ngunit kung ang Espiritu na siyang nagbangon kay Jesus mula sa mga patay ay nananahan sa inyo, siya na nagbangon kay Cristo mula sa mga patay ay magbibigay rin ng buhay sa inyong mga katawang may kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang Espiritu na nananahan sa inyo. 12 Kaya nga, mga kapatid, tayo ay may pagkakautang hindi sa laman para mamuhay ayon sa laman 13 sapagkat kung kayo ay namumuhay ayon sa laman, kayo ay mamamatay, ngunit kung sa Espiritu ay pinapatay ninyo ang mga gawa ng katawan, kayo ay mabubuhay. 14 Sapagkat ang sinumang pinapangunahan ng Espiritu ng Diyos, sila ang mga anak ng Diyos 15 dahil hindi kayo tumanggap ng espiritu ng pagkaalipin upang muling matakot kundi tinanggap ninyo ang Espiritu ng pag-ampon na sa pamamagitan niya ay tumatawag tayo ng, “Abba, Ama.” 16 Ang Espiritu mismo ang siyang nagpapatotoo kasama ng ating espiritu na tayo ay mga anak ng Diyos. 17 At yamang mga anak at mga tagapagmana, mga tagapagmana nga ng Diyos at mga kasamang tagapagmana ni Cristo kung tayo nga ay nagtitiis na kasama niya upang tayo rin ay luluwalhatiing magkasama. 18 Sapagkat ang mga paghihirap sa kasalukuyang panahon ay hindi ko ibinibilang na karapat-dapat ihambing sa kaluwalhatiang maihahayag sa atin 19 dahil ang mataimtim na pag-asam ng sangnilikha ay naghihintay na may pananabik sa kapahayagan ng mga anak ng Diyos. 20 Sapagkat ang sangnilikha ay ipinasakop sa pagkawalang-kabuluhan, hindi nang kusang-loob, kundi dahil sa kaniya na siyang sumakop nito sa pag-asa 21 upang ang sangnilikha rin mismo ay mapalaya mula sa pagkaalipin ng kabulukan para sa kalayaan ng kaluwalhatian ng mga anak ng Diyos. 22 Sapagkat alam natin na hanggang sa ngayon, ang buong sangnilikha ay sama-samang dumadaing at naghihirap katulad ng babaing nanganganak. 23 Ngunit hindi lang sila, kundi kahit tayo mismo na mayroong unang bunga ng Espiritu ay dumadaing din sa ating sarili na matiyagang naghihintay ng pag-ampon, ang katubusan ng ating katawan. 24 Sapagkat sa pag-asa tayo ay naligtas, ngunit ang pag-asa na nakikita ay hindi pag-asa sapagkat bakit pa umaasa ang sinuman sa kaniyang nakikita? 25 Ngunit kung tayo ay umaasa sa hindi natin nakikita, hinihintay natin ito na may pagtitiis. 26 At gayundin naman, ang Espiritu ay kasamang tumutulong sa ating mga kahinaan sapagkat hindi natin alam kung ano ang kinakailangan nating ipanalangin, subalit ang Espiritu mismo ang namamagitan para sa ating mga pagdaing na hindi maipahayag ng salita. 27 At siya na sumusuri ng mga puso ang nakakaalam na kung ano ang kaisipan ng Espiritu sapagkat siya ang namamagitan alang-alang sa mga banal ayon sa kalooban ng Diyos. 28 At alam natin na ang lahat ng mga bagay ay nagkakalakip-lakip na gumagawa para sa kabutihan ng mga umiibig sa Diyos, sa kanila na mga tinawag ayon sa kaniyang layunin 29 sapagkat ang mga kinilala ng Diyos nang una pa ay itinalaga rin niya nang una pa na maging kawangis ng kaniyang Anak, upang siya ay maging panganay sa maraming magkakapatid. 30 At sila na kaniyang itinalaga nang una pa ay sila ring kaniyang mga tinawag. At sila na kaniyang tinawag ay sila ring kaniyang pinawalang-sala. At sila na kaniyang pinawalang-sala ay sila ring kaniyang niluwalhati. 31 Ano ngayon ang ating sasabihin sa mga bagay na ito? Yamang ang Diyos ay kakampi natin, sino ang laban sa atin? 32 Siya na hindi ipinagkait ang kaniyang sariling Anak, kundi ipinagkaloob niya alang-alang sa ating lahat, paanong hindi nga niya ipagkakaloob sa atin ang lahat ng mga bagay? 33 Sino ang magsasakdal laban sa mga pinili ng Diyos? Ang Diyos ang siyang nagpapawalang-sala. 34 Sino yaong humahatol? Si Cristo na siyang namatay, ngunit higit pa rito, siya rin yaong ibinangon, na sa ngayon ay nasa bahaging kanan ng Diyos na siya namang namamagitan alang-alang sa atin. 35 Sino ang magpapahiwalay sa atin mula sa pag-ibig ni Cristo? Ang kahirapan ba, o ang kagipitan, o ang kalupitan, o ang kagutuman, o ang kahubaran, o ang panganib, o ang tabak? 36 Ayon sa nasusulat, “Alang-alang sa iyo, kami ay pinapatay buong araw. Ibinibilang kaming mga tupa ng katayan.” Awi 44:22 37 Subalit sa lahat ng mga bagay na ito, tayo ay higit pa sa mga mapagtagumpay sa pamamagitan niyaong umibig sa atin, 38 sapagkat ako ay nakakatiyak na hindi ang kamatayan, ni ang buhay, ni ang mga anghel, ni ang mga pamunuan, ni ang mga kapangyarihan, ni ang mga bagay sa kasalukuyan, ni ang mga bagay na darating, 39 ni ang kataasan, ni ang kalaliman, ni anumang ibang nilikha ang makakapaghiwalay sa atin mula sa pag-ibig ng Diyos na na kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.
