The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

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.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.

…I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

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

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him…

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

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

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

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.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church & in Christ Jesus… for ever and ever!

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

Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.

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