He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

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

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

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

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.

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

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

When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place.

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage–with great patience and careful instruction.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Come near to God and he will come near to you.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

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.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
