This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light.
We show our love for God by obeying his commandments, and they are not hard to follow.
I have told you this, so that you might have peace in your hearts because of me. While you are in the world, you will have to suffer. But cheer up! I have defeated the world.
Christ gives me the strength to face anything.
Christ has set us free! This means we are really free. Now hold on to your freedom and don't ever become slaves of the Law again.
The Lord God has told us what is right and what he demands: “See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God.”
But if you obey the Spirit, the Law of Moses has no control over you.
Now why are you trying to make God angry by placing a heavy burden on these followers? This burden was too heavy for us or our ancestors.
These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing.
The Holy Spirit has shown us that we should not place any extra burden on you.
Wisdom makes life pleasant and leads us safely along.
