Luke 6.17-23
Read in contextAt that time, Jesus
17And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed [them] all.
20And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
1 Tim 5.22-6.11
Read in contextMy son Timothy, do
5:22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
5:23Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
5:24Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after.
5:25Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
6:1Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be not blasphemed.
6:2And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
6:3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
6:4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
6:5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6:6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6:7For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
6:8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
6:9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
6:10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
6:11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Gal 5.22-6.2
Read in contextBrethren,
5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5:23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
5:24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
5:25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
5:26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
6:1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
6:2Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Luke 21.5-7, 10-11, 20-24
Read in contextAt that time, as some spoke of the temple to Jesus,
5And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6[As for] these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to pass?
10Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Matt 11.27-30
Read in contextThe Lord said to his disciples:
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].
28Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
