See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

I look for your deliverance, LORD.

I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

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.

Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

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.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds…

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’”

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Do everything in love.
