A married woman is united with her husband under the Law while he is alive. But if her husband dies, she is released from theContinue reading “Life”

Compare?
Some people said to Jesus, “The disciples of John fast often and pray frequently. The disciples of the Pharisees do the same, but your disciples are always eating and drinking.” Jesus replied, “You can’t make the wedding guests fast while the groom is with them, can you? The days will come when the groom will be takenContinue reading “Compare?”
Agree – don’t be divided…
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always for you, because of God’s grace that was given to you in Christ Jesus. That is, you were made rich through him in everything: in all your communication and every kind of knowledge, in the same way thatContinue reading “Agree – don’t be divided…”
Better
Love should be shown without pretending. Hate evil, and hold on to what is good. Love each other like the members of your family. Be the best at showing honor to each other.

Because Jesus knew whatContinue reading “divided”

The husband should meet his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife should do the same for her husband. The wife doesn’t haveContinue reading “Needs”
Free gift
When Simon perceived that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money. He said, “Give me this authority too so that anyone on whom I lay my hands will receive the Holy Spirit.” Peter responded, “May your money be condemned to hell along with you because you believedContinue reading “Free gift”
light
“People don’t light a lamp and then put it in a closet or under a basket. Rather, they place the lamp on a lampstand so that those who enter the house can see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. ButContinue reading “light”
