He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

[His compassions] are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

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.

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

The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

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

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

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

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

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.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Freely you have received; freely give.

The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.
