Jesaja 58: 7- 10
58:7 | Break your bread with the hungry, and lead the destitute and the homeless into your house. When you see someone naked, cover him, and do not despise your own flesh. |
58:8 | Then your light will break forth like the morning, and your health will improve quickly, and your justice will go before your face, and the glory of the Lord will gather you up. |
58:9 | Then you will call, and the Lord will heed; you will cry out, and he will say, "Hier is ek,” if you take away the chains from your midst, and cease to point your finger and to speak what is not beneficial. |
58:10 | When you pour out your life for the hungry, and you satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise up in darkness, and your darkness will be like the midday. |
Eerste Korintiërs 2: 1- 5
2:1 | En so, broers, toe ek na jou toe gekom het, verkondig aan julle die getuienis van Christus, Ek het nie verhewe woorde of verhewe wysheid gebring nie. |
2:2 | Want ek het myself nie geoordeel om iets onder julle te weet nie, behalwe Jesus Christus, en Hom gekruisig. |
2:3 | En ek was by jou in swakheid, en in vrees, en met baie bewing. |
2:4 | En my woorde en prediking was nie die oortuigende woorde van menslike wysheid nie, maar was 'n manifestasie van die Gees en van deug, |
2:5 | sodat julle geloof nie op die wysheid van mense gegrond sou wees nie, maar op die deug van God. |
Matteus 5: 13- 16
5:13 | You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men. |
5:14 | You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. |
5:15 | And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house. |
5:16 | So dan, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, wie in die hemel is. |
