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.

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

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

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

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.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.

The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

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.

Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

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.
