Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst.

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

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to Your word.

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.

Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone.

Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

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

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
He lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

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

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.

For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 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.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Look at the nations and watch–and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple He heard my voice; my cry came to His ears.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

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.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

My son {& daughter}, give Me your heart and let your eyes keep to My ways.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.

He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

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