Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

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

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Trust in the LORD and do good.

Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
