…Beware that in your plenty you do not forget
the LORD your God…
and when your flocks and herds
have become very large
and your silver and gold have multiplied
along with everything else, be careful!
Do not become proud at that time
and forget the LORD your God…
…Seeing their faith,
Jesus said to the paralyzed man,
“Be encouraged, my child!
Your sins are forgiven.”
Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God
is indeed God.
He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant
for a thousand generations
and lavishes his unfailing love
on those who love him and obey his commands.
Jesus responded,
“Why are you afraid?
You have so little faith!”
Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves,
and suddenly there was a great calm.
…The LORD is our God, the LORD alone.
And you must love the LORD your God
with all your heart,
all your soul,
and all your strength.
…the officer said,
“Lord, I am not worthy…
Just say the word from where you are,
and my servant will be healed.
I know this…”
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed…
he said, “I tell you the truth,
I haven’t seen faith like this in all of Israel.
