Luke 2:1-14: In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town.
Proverbs 4:20-22 "My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body."
Galatians 4:4-7 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Matthew 5:13-14 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its saltiness, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house."
Matthéüs 5:13-14 “Julle is die sout vir die aarde. Maar as sout verslaan het, hoe kry ‘n mensdit weer sout? Dit is niks meer werd nie. Dit word buitekant weggegooi, en die mense vertrap dit.” “Julle is die lig vir die wêreld. 'n Stad wat op 'n berg lê, kan nie weggesteek word nie; ook steek 'n mens nie 'n lamp op en sit dit onder 'n emmer nie maar op 'n lampstaander, en dit gee lig vir almal in die huis.
