Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
But be you glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also to you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
