Ephesians 6:10-18
"Finally, brother, be strong in the Lord! And in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the authorities against the power of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints
"

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is pure, whatever is right, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable –if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."

The Sower's Parable
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. Such
great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there,
while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in
parables, saying: "Listen! A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed,
some seeds fell on a path, and the birds came and ate them up. 5 Other
seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they
sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. 6 But when the sun rose,
they were scorched, and since they had no root, they withered away. 7
Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8
Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty. 9 If you have ears, hear!"
Matthew 13:18–23
The Explanation
"Hear, then, the parable of the sower. 19 When anyone hears the word of
the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches
away what has been sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path.
20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the
word and immediately receives it with joy, 21 yet such a person has no root
but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on
account of the word, that person immediately falls away. 22 As for what
was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares
of this age and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. 23
But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word
and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields in one case a
hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."
James 1:1-12
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the dispersion: Greetings.
2 My brothers and sisters, whenever you face various trials, consider it all joy, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. 6 But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7,8 For the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
9 Let the brother or sister of humble means boast in having a high position 10 and the rich in having been humbled, because the rich will disappear like a flower in the field. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the field; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. It is the same way with the rich; in the midst of a busy life, they will wither away. 12 Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord[a] has promised to those who love him.
James 1:13-18
13 No one, when tempted, should say, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be
tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one. 14But one is tempted by one’s own
desire, being lured and enticed by it; 15
then, when desire has conceived, it engenders
sin, and sin, when it is fully grown, gives birth to death.16Do not be deceived, my
beloved brothers and sisters. 17 Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is
from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or
shadow due to change.[a] 18
In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave birth to us by the
word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
James 1:19-27
19 You must understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters: let everyone be
quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger, 20 for human anger does not produce
God's righteousness. 21 Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth
of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power
to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word and not merely hearers who
deceive themselves. 23 For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are
like those who look at themselves in a mirror; 24 for they look at themselves and,
on going away, immediately forget what they were like. 25 But those who look into
the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but
doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing. 26 If any think they are religious
and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."
James 2:1-13
1 My brothers and sisters, do not claim the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory
while showing partiality. 2 For if a person with gold rings and in fine clothes comes
into your assembly, and if a poor person in dirty clothes also comes in, 3 and if you
take notice of the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “Have a seat here in a good
place, please,” while to the one who is poor you say, “Stand there,” or, “Sit by my
footstool,” 4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges
with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen
the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has
promised to those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor person. Is it
not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into the courts? 7 Is it not
they who blaspheme the excellent name that was invoked over you? 8 If you really
fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as
yourself,” you do well. 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted
by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one
point has become accountable for all of it. 11 For the one who said, “You shall not
commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” Now if you do not commit
adultery but you murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak
and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment will
be without mercy to anyone who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over
judgment.
