If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.

For we know Him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Sing to the Lord! Give praise to the Lord! He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of the wicked.

But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only He will release my feet from the snare.

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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

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.

The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all {people} so that by all possible means I might save some.

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Oh Lord, make me dwell in safety.

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.

In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

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

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.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
