Then a Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” But the Samaritan woman said to Him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan. How is it that you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans). Jesus said to her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is who says to you, “Give me a drink”, you would have asked Him for a drink and He would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where is it that you get this living water from? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his cattle?” Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks from this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I give him shall never thirst but the water that I give him will become in him a well of spring water to eternal life.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not thirst again!” Then He said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.” But she said, “I have no husband.” “You have correctly said you have no husband. For you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly!” “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place to worship.” Jesus said to her “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. For you worship what you do not know but we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.” Yet a time is coming and now is when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking as such to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and in truth.” The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (He who is called Christ) is coming. When He does, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her “I who speak to you am He.”
He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, but has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the filled away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His covenant, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and His descendants forever. (Luke 1:51-55)

غريباً عشت فى الدنيا نزيلاً مثل آبائى غريباً فى أساليبى وأفكارى وأهوائى غريباً لم أجد سمعاً أفرغ فيه آرائى يموج القوم فى مرج وفى صخب وضوضاء وأقبع ههنا وحدى بقلبى الوادع النائى غريباً لم أجد بيتاً ولا ركناً لإيوائى تركت مفاتن الدنيا ولم أحفل بناديها ورحت أجر ترحالى بعيداً عن ملاهيها خلى القلب لا أهفو لشىء من أمانيها نزيه السمع لا أصغى إلى ضوضاء أهليها أطوف ههنا وحدى سعيداً فى بواديها بقيثارى ومزمارى وألحان أغنيها وساعات مقدسة خلوت بخالقى فيها أسير كأننى شبح يموج لمقلة الرائى غريباً عشت فى الدنيا نزيلا مثل آبائى كسبت العمر لا جاه يشاغلنى ولا مال ولا بيت يعطلنى ولا صحب ولا آل هنا فى الدير آيات تعزينى وأمثال هنا الإنجيل مصباح ولا يخفيه مكيال هنا لا ترهب الرهبان قضبان وأغلال ولا تستعبد الوجدان أغراض وآمال ولا تلهو بنا الدنيا فإدبار وإقبال أقول لكل شيطان يريد الآن إغرائى حذارك إننى أحيا غريباً مثل آبائى

Therefore he who hears these words of Mine and acts on them shall be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and slammed against that house, yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. But he who hears these words of Mine and acts not on them shall be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came and the winds blew and slammed against that house. It fell and great was its fall! .. (Matthew 7:24-27)

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper... (Psalm 1:1-4)

Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal human, in whom there is no salvation. When his spirit departs he returns to the ground and on that very same day, his plans come to nothing. But blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. It is He who remains faithful forever... (Psalm 146:3-7)
