God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The plans of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died–more than that, who was raised to life–is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

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

For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.”

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”

One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry

Your strength will equal your days.

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

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

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.

NLT

As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

“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.”

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.

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