Joel 2: 12- 18

2:12Most, ebből adódóan, the Lord says: “Be converted to me with your whole heart, in fasting and weeping and mourning.”
2:13And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and convert to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and merciful, patient and full of compassion, and steadfast despite ill will.
2:14Who knows if he might convert and forgive, and bequeath a blessing after him, a sacrifice and a libation to the Lord your God?
2:15Fújd meg a trombitát Sionban, sanctify a fast, hívjon össze egy közgyűlést.
2:16Gather the people, sanctify the church, unite the elders, gather together the little ones and infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom depart from his bed, and the bride from her bridal chamber.
2:17Between the vestibule and the altar, the priests, the ministers of the Lord, will weep, and they will say: “Spare, ó Uram, spare your people. And do not bequeath your inheritance into disgrace, so that the nations would rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
2:18The Lord has been zealous for his land, and he has spared his people.

Második korinthusi levél 5: 20- 6: 2

5:20Ebből adódóan, Krisztus követei vagyunk, hogy Isten rajtunk keresztül buzdít. Krisztusért könyörgünk: békülj meg Istennel.
5:21Mert aki nem ismerte a bűnt, azt Isten bűnné tette értünk, hogy Isten igazsága legyünk őbenne.
6:1De, segítségül neked, buzdítunk benneteket, hogy ne hiába fogadjátok Isten kegyelmét.
6:2Mert azt mondja: „Kedvező időben, Figyeltem rád; és az üdvösség napján, segítettem neked." Íme, most a kedvező idő; íme, most van az üdvösség napja.

Matthew 6: 1- 6, 16- 18

6:1“Pay attention, lest you perform your justice before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you shall not have a reward with your Father, aki a mennyben van.
6:2Ebből adódóan, when you give alms, do not choose to sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the towns, so that they may be honored by men. Ámen mondom neked, they have received their reward.
6:3But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
6:4so that your almsgiving may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
6:5And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men. Ámen mondom neked, they have received their reward.
6:6De te, when you pray, enter into your room, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
6:16And when you fast, do not choose to become gloomy, like the hypocrites. For they alter their faces, so that their fasting may be apparent to men. Ámen mondom neked, that they have received their reward.
6:17De ami téged illet, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
6:18so that your fasting will not be apparent to men, but to your Father, who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will repay you.
