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

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

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

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.

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.

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

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

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

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

If you love me, keep my commands.

He answered, “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

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