Now a certain man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, who
conceived and bore a son. Seeing that he was a goodly child, she
hid him for three months. When she could hide him no longer, she
took a papyrus basket, daubed it with bitumen and pitch, and
putting the child in it, placed it among the reeds on the river
bank. His sister stationed herself at a distance to find out what
would happen to him. Pharaoh's daughter came down to the river to
bathe, while her maids walked along the river bank. Noticing the
basket among the reeds, she sent her handmaid to fetch it. On
opening it, she looked, and lo, there was a baby boy, crying! She
was moved with pity for him and said, "It is one of the
Hebrews' children." Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter,
"Shall I go and call one of the Hebrew women to nurse the
child for you?" "Yes, do so," she answered. So the
maiden went and called the child's own mother. Pharaoh's daughter
said to her, "Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will
repay you." The woman therefore took the child and nursed it.
When the child grew, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, who
adopted him as her son and called him Moses; for she said, "I
drew him out of the water." [EX 2:1-10]
"But if you and your descendants ever withdraw from me,
fail to keep the commandments and statutes which I set before you,
and proceed to venerate and worship strange gods, I will cut off
Israel from the land I gave them and repudiate the temple I have
consecrated to my honor. Israel shall become a proverb and a
byword among all nations, and this temple shall become a heap of
ruins. Every passerby shall catch his breath in amazement, and
ask, 'Why has the LORD done this to the land and to this temple?'
Men will answer: 'They forsook the LORD, their God, who brought
their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they adopted strange gods
which they worshiped and served. That is why the LORD has brought
down upon them all this evil.'" [Taken from 1KGS 9:6-9]
This came about because the Israelites sinned against the LORD,
their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from
under the domination of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and because they
venerated other gods. They followed the rites of the nations whom
the LORD had cleared out of the way of the Israelites (and the
kings of Israel whom they set up). They adopted unlawful practices
toward the LORD, their God. They built high places in all their
settlements, the watchtowers as well as the walled cities. They
set up pillars and sacred poles for themselves on every high hill
and under every leafy tree. There, on all the high places, they
burned incense like the nations whom the LORD had sent into exile
at their coming. They did evil things that provoked the LORD, and
served idols, although the LORD had told them, "You must not
do this." And though the LORD warned Israel and Judah by
every prophet and seer, "Give up your evil ways and keep my
commandments and statutes, in accordance with the entire law which
I enjoined on your fathers and which I sent you by my servants the
prophets," they did not listen, but were as stiff-necked as
their fathers, who had not believed in the LORD, their God. [2KGS
17:7-14]
"But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and commands
which I placed before you, if you proceed to venerate and worship
strange gods, then I will uproot the people from the land I gave
them; I will cast from my sight this house which I have
consecrated to my honor, and I will make it a proverb and a byword
among all peoples. This temple which is so exalted - everyone
passing by it will be amazed and ask: 'Why has the LORD done this
to this land and to this house?' And men will answer: 'They
forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out
of the land of Egypt, and they adopted strange gods and worshiped
them and served them. That is why he has brought down upon them
all this evil.'" [Taken from 2CHRON 7:19-22]
As for Esther, daughter of Abihail and adopted daughter of his
nephew Mordecai, when her turn came to visit the king, she did not
ask for anything but what the royal eunuch Hegai, custodian of the
women, suggested. Yet she won the admiration of all who saw her.
Esther was led to King Ahasuerus in his palace in the tenth month,
Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. The king loved Esther
more than all other women, and of all the virgins she won his
favor and benevolence. So he placed the royal diadem on her head
and made her queen in place of Vashti. Then the king gave a great
feast in honor of Esther to all his officials and ministers,
granting a holiday to the provinces and bestowing gifts with royal
bounty. [ESTH 2:15-18]
"At this time Moses was born, and he was extremely
beautiful. For three months he was nursed in his father's house;
but when he was exposed, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him and
brought him up as her own son. Moses was educated (in) all the
wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in his words and deeds.
When he was forty years old, he decided to visit his kinsfolk, the
Israelites. When he saw one of them treated unjustly, he defended
and avenged the oppressed man by striking down the Egyptian. He
assumed (his) kinsfolk would understand that God was offering them
deliverance through him, but they did not understand." [Taken
from ACTS 7:20-25]
They brought them before the magistrates and said, "These
people are Jews and are disturbing our city and are advocating
customs that are not lawful for us Romans to adopt or
practice." The crowd joined in the attack on them, and the
magistrates had them stripped and ordered them to be beaten with
rods. After inflicting many blows on them, they threw them into
prison and instructed the jailer to guard them securely. When he
received these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and
secured their feet to a stake. [ACTS 16:20-24]
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into
fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry,
"Abba, Father!" The Spirit itself bears witness with our
spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs,
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with
him so that we may also be glorified with him. I consider that the
sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the
glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager
expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation
was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of
the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be
set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious
freedom of the children of God. We know that all creation is
groaning in labor pains even until now; and not only that, but we
ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan
within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our
bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself
is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees? But if we hope for
what we do not see, we wait with endurance. In the same way, the
Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know
how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with
inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows
what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the
holy ones according to God's will. [ROM 8:14-27]
I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie; my conscience joins
with the Holy Spirit in bearing me witness that I have great
sorrow and constant anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I
myself were accursed and separated from Christ for the sake of my
brothers, my kin according to the flesh. They are Israelites;
theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the
law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and
from them, according to the flesh, is the Messiah. God who is over
all be blessed forever. Amen. [ROM 9:1-5]
I mean that as long as the heir is not of age, he is no
different from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,
but he is under the supervision of guardians and administrators
until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we
were not of age, were enslaved to the elemental powers of the
world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son,
born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the
law, so that we might receive adoption. As proof that you are
children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying
out, "Abba, Father!" So you are no longer a slave but a
child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. [GAL 4:1-7]
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be
holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for
adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor
of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he
granted us in the beloved. [EPH 1:3-6]
Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken
possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but
straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward
the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus. Let
us, then, who are "perfectly mature" adopt this
attitude. And if you have a different attitude, this too God will
reveal to you. [PHIL 3:13-15]

You shall not commit adultery.
[EX 20:14]
You shall not have carnal relations with your neighbor's wife, defiling yourself with her.
[LEV 18:20]
If a man commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall
[suffer the applicable penalty, which - under the old law - was
death] [LEV 20:10]
You shall not commit adultery. [DEUT 5:18]
If a man is discovered having relations with a woman who is married to another, both the man and the woman with whom he has had relations shall
[suffer the applicable penalty, which - under the old law - was
death]. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. [DEUT 22:22]
The lips of an adulteress drip with honey, and her
mouth is smoother than oil; But in the end she is as bitter as
wormwood, as sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to
death, to the nether world her steps attain; Lest you see before
you the road to life, her paths will ramble, you know not where.
So now, O children, listen to me, go not astray from the words of
my mouth. Keep your way far from her, approach not the door of her
house [PROV 5:3-8]
Why then, my son, should you go astray for
another's wife and accept the embraces of an adulteress? For each
man's ways are plain to the LORD'S sight; all their paths he
surveys; By his own iniquities the wicked man will be caught, in
the meshes of his own sin he will be held fast; He will die from
lack of discipline, through the greatness of his folly he will be
lost. [PROV 5:20-23]
To keep you from your neighbor's wife, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
Lust not in your heart after her beauty, let her not captivate you with her glance!
For the price of a loose woman may be scarcely a loaf of bread, But if she is married, she is a trap for your precious life.
Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his garments not burned? Or can a man walk on live coals, and his feet not be scorched?
So with him who goes in to his neighbor's wife - none who touches her shall go unpunished. But he who commits adultery is a fool; he who would
destroy himself does it. [Taken from PROV 6:24-29,32]
The mouth of the adulteress is a deep pit; he with
whom the LORD is angry will fall into it. [PROV 22:14]
Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats,
wipes her mouth, and says, "I have done no wrong." [PROV 30:20]
But the children of adulterers will remain without
issue, and the progeny of an unlawful bed will disappear. [WISDOM 3:16]
First, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High;
secondly, she has wronged her husband; Thirdly, in her wanton
adultery she has borne children by another man. [SIRACH 23:23]
I will draw near to you for judgment, and I will be
swift to bear witness Against the sorcerers, adulterers, and
perjurers, those who defraud the hired man of his wages, Against
those who defraud widows and orphans; those who turn aside the
stranger, and those who do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts. [MAL 3:5]
(Jesus said), "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall
not commit adultery.' But I (Jesus) say to you, everyone who looks at a
woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his
heart." [MT 5:27-28]
But I (Jesus) say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the
marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever
marries a divorced woman commits adultery. [MT 5:32]
For from the heart come evil thoughts,
murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy.
These are what defile a person [Taken from MT 15:19-20]
"I [Jesus] say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery."
[MT 19:9]
Now someone approached [Jesus] and said, "Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?"
He answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."
He asked him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, " 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness;
honor your father and your mother'; and 'you shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
[MT19:16-19]
[Jesus said,] "But what comes out of a person, that is what defiles.
From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile."
[MK 7:20-23]
(Jesus) said to them, "Whoever divorces his
wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she
divorces her husband and marries another, she commits
adultery." [MK 10:11-12]
"Everyone who divorces his wife and marries
another commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced
from her husband commits adultery." [LK 16:18]
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman
who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle.
They said to (Jesus), "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very
act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to
stone such women. So what do you say?" They said this to test
him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him.
Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.
But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to
them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first
to throw a stone at her." Again he bent down and wrote on the
ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with
the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then
Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are
they? Has no one condemned you?" She replied, "No one,
sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go,
(and) from now on do not sin any more." [JN 8:3-11]
Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit
the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor
idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor practicing
homosexuals nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor
slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God. [1COR 6:9-10]
Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed
be kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.
[HEB 13:4]
For he who said, "You shall not commit
adultery," also said, "You shall not kill." Even if
you do not commit adultery but kill, you have become a
transgressor of the law. [JMS 2:11]
Their eyes are full of adultery and insatiable for
sin. They seduce unstable people, and their hearts are trained in
greed. Accursed children! [2PT 2:14]
So I will cast her on a sickbed and plunge those who
commit adultery with her into intense suffering unless they repent
of her works. [RV 2:22]

after death

For I know that after my death you are sure to
become corrupt and to turn aside from the way along which I
directed you, so that evil will befall you in some future age
because you have done evil in the LORD'S sight, and provoked him
by your deeds. [DEUT 31:29]
If he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death.
But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought.
Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin.
[Taken from 2MACC 12:44-46]
At the father's death, he will seem not dead, since
he leaves after him one like himself [Taken from SIRACH 30:4]
Fear not death's decree for you; remember, it
embraces those before you, and those after. [SIRACH 41:3]
In life he performed wonders, and after death,
marvelous deeds. [SIRACH 48:14]
At the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in

When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given

almsgiving
related

Give alms from your possessions. Do not turn your
face away from any of the poor, and God's face will not be turned
away from you. [TOBIT 4:7] Son, give alms in proportion to what you own. If you
have great wealth, give alms out of your abundance; if you have
but little, distribute even some of that. But do not hesitate to
give alms [TOBIT 4:8]
Almsgiving frees one from death, and keeps one from
going into the dark abode. [TOBIT 4:10]
Alms are a worthy offering in the sight of the Most
High for all who give them. [TOBIT 4:11]
Give to the hungry some of your bread, and to
the naked some of your clothing. Whatever you have left over, give
away as alms; and do not begrudge the alms you give. [TOBIT 4:16]
Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either
is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness. A little with
righteousness is better than abundance with wickedness. It is
better to give alms than to store up gold [TOBIT 12:8]
Almsgiving saves one from death and expiates
every sin. Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life
[Taken from TOBIT 12:9]
"Now, children, I give you this command: serve
God faithfully and do what is right before him; you must tell your
children to do what is upright and to give alms, to be mindful of
God and at all times to bless his name sincerely and with all
their strength." [TOBIT 14:9]
So, my children, note well what almsgiving does,
and also what wickedness does - it kills! [Taken from TOBIT 14:11]
Water quenches a flaming fire, and alms atone for
sins. [SIRACH 3:29]
Be not impatient in prayers, and neglect not the
giving of alms. [SIRACH 7:10]
To a poor man, however, be generous; keep him not
waiting for your alms [SIRACH 29:8]
Store up almsgiving in your treasure house, and it
will save you from every evil [SIRACH 29:12]
In works of charity one offers fine flour, and when
he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise. [SIRACH 35:2]
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as
the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the
praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know
what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father
who sees in secret will repay you. [MT 6:2-4]
Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be perfect,
go, sell what you have and give to (the) poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." [MT 19:21]
Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are
lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to (the)
poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow
me." [MK 10:21]
Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags
for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in
heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. [LK 12:33]
When Jesus heard this he said to him, "There
is still one thing left for you: sell all that you have and
distribute it to the poor, and you will have a treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me." [LK 18:22]
He looked intently at (Cornelius) and, seized with fear,
said, "What is it, sir?" He said to him, "Your
prayers and almsgiving have ascended as a memorial offering before
God...your prayer has been heard and your
almsgiving remembered before God." [Taken from ACTS 10:4,31]

Adonijah, son of Haggith, began to display his ambition to be
king. He acquired chariots, drivers, and fifty henchmen. [1KGS
1:5]
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son
of Jehu, king of Israel, with this challenge, "Come, let us
meet face to face." King Jehoash of Israel sent this reply to
the king of Judah: "The thistle of Lebanon sent word to the
cedar of Lebanon, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage,' but
an animal of Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle underfoot.
You have indeed conquered Edom, and you have become ambitious.
Enjoy your glory, but stay at home! Why involve yourself and Judah
with you in misfortune and failure?" But Amaziah would not
listen. King Jehoash of Israel then advanced, and he and King
Amaziah of Judah met in battle at Beth-shemesh of Judah. [2KGS 14:8-11]
"Many have become the more ambitious the more they were
showered with honors through the bountiful generosity of their
patrons." [Taken from ESTH E:2]
Ptolemy, son of Abubus, had been appointed governor of the
plain of Jericho, and he had much silver and gold, being the
son-in-law of the high priest. But he became ambitious and sought
to get control of the country. So he made treacherous plans to do
away with Simon and his sons. [Taken from 1MACC 16:11-13]
Men who lived so far away that they could not honor him in his
presence copied the appearance of the distant king and made a
public image of him they wished to honor, out of zeal to flatter
him when absent, as though present. And to promote this observance
among those to whom it was strange, the artisan's ambition
provided a stimulus. For he, mayhap in his determination to please
the ruler, labored over the likeness to the best of his skill; And
the masses, drawn by the charm of the workmanship, soon thought he
should be worshiped who shortly before was honored as a man. [Taken
from WISDOM 14:17-20]
I want you to know, brothers, that my situation has turned out
rather to advance the gospel, so that my imprisonment has become
well known in Christ throughout the whole praetorium and to all
the rest, and so that the majority of the brothers, having taken
encouragement in the Lord from my imprisonment, dare more than
ever to proclaim the word fearlessly. Of course, some preach
Christ from envy and rivalry, others from good will. The latter
act out of love, aware that I am here for the defense of the
gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not
from pure motives, thinking that they will cause me trouble in my
imprisonment. What difference does it make, as long as in every
way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed?
And in that I rejoice. Indeed I shall continue to rejoice, for I
know that this will result in deliverance for me through your
prayers and support from the Spirit of Jesus Christ. [PHIL 1:12-19]
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show his works
by a good life in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you
have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not
boast and be false to the truth. Wisdom of this kind does not come
down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where
jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every
foul practice. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure,
then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits,
without inconstancy or insincerity. And the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace. [JMS 3:13-18]

Anxiety in a man's heart
depresses it, but a kindly word makes it glad. [PROV 12:25]
Better a little with fear of the LORD than a great fortune with
anxiety. [PROV 15:16]
Who scream? Who shriek? Who have strife? Who have anxiety? Who
have wounds for nothing? Who have black eyes? [PROV 23:29]
For what profit comes to a man from all the toil and anxiety of
heart with which he has labored under the sun? All his days sorrow and grief are his occupation; even at night his mind is not at rest. This also is vanity.
[ECCL 2:22-23]
A great anxiety has God allotted, and a heavy yoke, to the sons
of men; From the day one leaves his mother's womb to the day he
returns to the mother of all the living [SIRACH 40:1]
They schemed anxiously for money, but there is no trace of
their work: They have vanished down into the nether world, and others have risen up in their stead. [BARUCH 3:18-19]
Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild
flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them.
If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?
1 So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?'
All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.
Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
[MT 6:28-34]
The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but
then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it
bears no fruit. [MT 13:22]
Worldly anxiety, the lure of riches, and the craving for other
things intrude and choke the word, and it bears no fruit. [Taken
from MK 4:19]
When his parents saw (Jesus), they were astonished, and his
mother said to him, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your
father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety." [LK
2:48]
The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are
anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing."
[Taken from LK 10:41-42]
If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are
you anxious about the rest? [LK 12:26]
I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is
anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord.
But a married man is anxious about the things of the world, how he
may please his wife, and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a
virgin is anxious about the things of the Lord, so that she may be
holy in both body and spirit. A married woman, on the other hand,
is anxious about the things of the world, how she may please her
husband. [1COR 7:32-34]
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. [PHIL
4:6]

So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.
[MK 16:19]
Then he led them (out) as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them.
As he blessed them he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.
[LK 24:50-51]
What if you were to
see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? [JN 6:62] Jesus said to her, "Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet
ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am
going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
[JN 20:17] Therefore, it says: "He ascended on high and took
prisoners captive; he gave gifts to men." What does
"he ascended" mean except that he also descended into
the lower (regions) of the earth? The one who descended
is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, that he
might fill all things. [EPH 4:8-10]

They themselves are to eat of these things by which
atonement was made at their ordination and consecration; but no
layman may eat of them, since they are sacred. [EX 29:33]
Seven days you shall spend in making atonement for the
altar and in consecrating it. Then the altar will be most sacred,
and whatever touches it will become sacred. [EX 29:37]
On the next day Moses said to the people, "You
have committed a grave sin. I will go up to the LORD, then;
perhaps I may be able to make atonement for your sin." [EX 32:30]
Since on this day atonement is made for you to make
you clean, so that you may be cleansed of all your sins before the
LORD [LEV 16:30]
Since the life of a living body is in its blood, I
have made you put it on the altar, so that atonement may thereby
be made for your own lives, because it is the blood, as the seat
of life, that makes atonement. [LEV 17:11]
He who honors his father atones for sins [SIRACH 3:3]
Water quenches a flaming fire, and alms atone for
sins. [SIRACH 3:29]
To refrain from evil pleases the LORD, and to avoid
injustice is an atonement. [SIRACH 35:3]
(Jesus said,) "for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins."
[MT 26:28]
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
[ROM 4:7]
In (Jesus) we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace
[EPH 1:7]
In (Jesus) we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. [Taken
from COL 1:14]
He should know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
[Taken from JMS 5:20]
Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Some are consumed with avarice all the day, but the just man
gives unsparingly. [PROV 21:26]
The avaricious man is perturbed about his wealth, and he knows
not when want will come upon him. [PROV 28:22]
I will not accuse forever, nor always be angry; For their
spirits would faint before me, the souls that I have made. Because
of their wicked avarice I was angry, and struck them, hiding
myself in wrath, as they went their own rebellious way. I saw
their ways, but I will heal them and lead them; I will give full
comfort to them and to those who mourn for them, I, the Creator,
who gave them life. Peace, peace to the far and the near, says the
LORD; and I will heal them. But the wicked are like the tossing
sea which cannot be calmed, And its waters cast up mud and filth.
No peace for the wicked! says my God. [ISA 57:16-21]

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics
Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)
"Suitable For Children Or
Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"
+ + +
As many faithful Catholics already know,
the majestic
Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church –
promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with
our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties
back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin,
and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious
treasure that is the
Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of
English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in
educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings
many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"
If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that
this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an
assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches,
crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee,
quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs,
circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and
treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language
facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations,
phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender,
inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin
prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
