For this very reason, ¹  make every effort ²  to add to your faith excellence, ³  to excellence, knowledge;

And to all these ¹  virtues ²  add ³  love, which is the perfect bond. ⁴ 

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues ¹  of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

I can pray this because his divine power ¹  has bestowed on us everything necessary ²  for life and godliness through the rich knowledge ³  of the one who called ⁴  us by ⁵  his own glory and excellence.

The godly speak wise words and promote justice. ¹ 

Counsel and sound wisdom belong to me; ¹  I possess understanding and might.

and endurance, character, and character, hope.

But you, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  are children of the promise like Isaac.

Finally, brothers and sisters, ¹  whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

A generous woman ¹  gains honor, and ruthless men ²  seize wealth. ³ 

Who can find ²  a wife ³  of noble character? ⁴  For her value ⁵  is far more than rubies.

So then, be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. ¹ 

But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I know that power has gone out ¹  from me.”

For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

Now, my dear, don’t worry! ¹  I intend to do for you everything you propose, ²  for everyone in the village ³  knows that you are a worthy woman. ⁴ 

The Lord judges the nations. ¹  Vindicate me, Lord, because I am innocent, ²  because I am blameless, ³  O Exalted One! ⁴ 

A noble wife ¹  is the crown ²  of her husband, but the wife ³  who acts shamefully is like rottenness in his bones. ⁴ 

For when they see their children, whom I will produce among them, ¹  they will honor ²  my name. They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; ³  they will respect ⁴  the God of Israel.

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”
