Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

[W]ho spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever.

[Y]et for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

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.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my 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.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

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

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…

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.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

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.
