Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ…

He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

And the gospel must first be preached to all nations.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
