For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

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

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

For no word from God will ever fail.

You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor… to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

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

Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

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.

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

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.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

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.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

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

Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
