“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5: 21-24
Zamiast przeszkadzać – pomóż Mu!
Słyszeliście, że powiedziano przodkom: „Nie zabijaj!”; a kto by się dopuścił zabójstwa, podlega sądowi. A Ja wam powiadam: Każdy, kto się gniewa na swego brata, podlega sądowi. A kto by rzekł swemu bratu: „Raka”, podlega Wysokiej Radzie. A kto by mu rzekł: „Bezbożniku”, podlega karze piekła ognistego. Jeśli więc przyniesiesz dar swój przed ołtarz i tam sobie przypomnisz, że brat twój ma coś przeciw tobie, zostaw tam dar swój przed ołtarzem, a najpierw idź i pojednaj się z bratem swoim. Potem przyjdź i dar swój ofiaruj. Mt 5, 21-24
God is good
Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. Matthew 7:9-11
Wzór ojcostwa
Gdy któregoś z was syn prosi o chleb, czy jest taki, który poda mu kamień? Albo gdy prosi o rybę, czy poda mu węża? Jeśli więc wy, choć źli jesteście, umiecie dawać dobre dary swoim dzieciom, to o ileż bardziej Ojciec wasz, który jest w niebie, da to, co dobre, tym, którzy Go proszą. Mt 7, 9-11
Call to conversion
Jonah began his journey through the city, and when he had gone only a single day’s walk announcing, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown,” the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out. Jonah 3:4-5.10
