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.

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.
