Deuteronomy 7:6-9  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

6 \u201cFor you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. 7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 13:44-52  (English Standard Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Parable of the Hidden Treasure<\/em>
\n44 \u201cThe kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Parable of the Pearl of Great Value<\/em>
\n45 \u201cAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Parable of the Net<\/em>
\n47 \u201cAgain, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New and Old Treasures<\/em>
\n51 \u201cHave you understood all these things?\u201d They said to him, \u201cYes.\u201d 52 And he said to them, \u201cTherefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
