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.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'”

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

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.

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