“The days are coming,” declares the LORD,
“when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch,
a King who will reign wisely
and do what is just and right in the land.

In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.
This is the name by which he will be called:
The LORD Our Righteousness.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

He who conceals his sins does not prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me.

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.

The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

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

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

How much better to get wisdom than gold,
to choose understanding rather than silver!

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

He will call upon me, and I will answer Him;
I will be with Him in trouble,
I will deliver Him and honor Him.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?”

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.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
