May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

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

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it.

The LORD has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.

The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

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

Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her…

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!

“Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations.”

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full 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.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

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.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

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

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

Jesus is “the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
