We love because he first loved us.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

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.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

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

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.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

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

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

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. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
