For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.

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.

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.

My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.

I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Anyone, then, who knows the good He ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.

In the Lord I take refuge.

In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait in expectation.

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

We work wearily with our own hands to earn our living. We bless those who curse us. We are patient with those who abuse us.

I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me–the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

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

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Do everything in love.

For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
