1. Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia. 2. Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4. Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ. 6. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for our consolation and salvation. 7. And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 8. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life; 9. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; 10. Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver; in who we trust that He will yet deliver us. 11. You also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gifts bestowed on us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.

37. And , behold a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment. 38. And stood at His feet behind Him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment. 39. Now when the Pharisee that had bidden Him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touches him: for she is a sinner. 40. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41. There was a certain creditor that had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most. 43. Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44. And He turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gave me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45. Thou gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46. My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. 47. Wherefore, I say unto you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48. And He said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49. And they that sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? 50. And He said to the woman, Thy faith has saved you; go in peace.

Mata 18: 21-22

Air dol do Pheadar d'a ionnsuidh 's an am sin, thubhairt e, A Thighearna cia minic a pheacaicheas mo bhrathair a m' aghaidh, agus a mhaitheas mi dha? An ann gu ruig an seachdamh uair?

Thubhairt Iosa ris, Cha'n abair mi riut, gus an seachdamh uair, ach gu deich agus tri fichead seachd uairean.

1 Corinthians 1:22–25

[22] For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, [23] but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, [24] but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. [25] For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (ESV)

Genesis 26:24

[24] And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake.” (ESV)

2 Kings 4:1–7

Elisha and the Widow's Oil

[1] Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” [2] And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” [3] Then he said, “Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. [4] Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside.” [5] So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. [6] When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing. [7] She came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.” (ESV)

John 7:37–39

Rivers of Living Water

[37] On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. [38] Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” [39] Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (ESV)

Galatians 6:14–16

[14] But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. [15] For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. [16] And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. (ESV)

Luke 9:62

[62] Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” (ESV)
