Here is Thomas Jefferson's classic abridgment of the Bible, in which Jefferson sculpted the words and ideas of Christ into a resounding moral philosophy. On and off for 17 years (including his term in the White House), Jefferson cut and pasted the philosophy of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Scripture, into one compact statement. He omitted any references to the virgin birth, miraculous healings, demonic possession, or supernatural events of any kind. His aim was to distinguish the moral philosophy of Christ from the religion that was later created around Christ.

But as believers, we have a steady source of joy and we are free to give our lives in faithful, humble service to those around us.

The book of Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus, is the longest book of the deuterocanon.

It was well known and frequently alluded to by Jesus, the Apostles, and the Early Church. Many of the concepts are echoed in the Sermon on the Mount and other key teachings of Jesus Christ.
