For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

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

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.

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

We love because he first loved us.

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.

But the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior;
so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;
their dishonor will never be forgotten.

Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.

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

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.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.

In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

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

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

I love you, O LORD, my strength.

Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”

This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[a] who[b] have been called according to his purpose.

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

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
