Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Mark 12:
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
1 Cor
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
Isaia 43:
For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
