Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

“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.”

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

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.

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.

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

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans.

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.

But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD, ‘because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.’

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

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

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