Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things.Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example. The God who gives peace will be with you.

Your judges take money from people who want special favors. Your priests teach only if they get paid for it. Your prophets won’t tell fortunes unless they receive money. But you still look for the Lord’ s help. You say,“ The Lord is with us. No trouble will come on us.”

The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God.

David also said to his son Solomon,“ Be strong and brave. Get to work. Don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope. The Lord God is my God. He is with you. He won’t fail you. He won’t desert you until all the work for serving in the Lord’ s temple is finished.

But put God’s kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you.

People of Jacob, listen to me. You are called by the name of Israel. You come from the family line of Judah. You make promises in the name of the Lord. You pray to Israel’s God. But you aren’t honest. You don’t mean what you say.You call yourselves citizens of the holy city of Jerusalem. You say you depend on Israel’s God. His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All. He says,

Do two people walk together unless they’ve agreed to do so?

Do you love life and want to see many good days?Then keep your tongues from speaking evil. Keep your lips from telling lies.Turn away from evil, and do good. Look for peace, and go after it.The Lord looks with favor on those who are godly. His ears are open to their cry.But the Lord doesn’t look with favor on those who do evil. He removes all memory of them from the earth.

The God of Israel is speaking to you. He is the Lord who rules over all. He says,“ Change the way you live and act. Then I will let you live in this place.Do not trust in lies. Do not say,‘ This is the temple of the Lord! This is the temple of the Lord! This is the temple of the Lord!’

May the Lord be with your spirit. May God’s grace be with you all.

God will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good. They want glory, honor, and life that never ends.But there are others who only look out for themselves. They don’t accept the truth. They go astray. God will pour out his great anger on them.There will be trouble and suffering for everyone who does evil. That is meant first for the Jews. It is also meant for the Gentiles.

“ The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.”( Isaiah 7:14) The name Immanuel means“ God with us.”

Anyone who looks for what is good will be blessed. But bad things will happen to a person who plans to do evil.

Why spend money on what is not food? Why work for what does not satisfy you? Listen carefully to me. Then you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the richest food there is.

So wash and make yourselves clean. Get your evil actions out of my sight! Stop doing what is wrong!Learn to do what is right! Treat people fairly. Help those who are treated badly. Stand up in court for children whose fathers have died. And do the same thing for widows.

The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.

Make your battle plans! But you won’t succeed. Give your orders! But they won’t be carried out. That’s because God is with us.

Azariah went out to meet Asa. He said to him,“ Asa and all you people of Judah and Benjamin, listen to me. The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you really look for him, you will find him. But if you desert him, he will desert you.

Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end.”
