If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

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

“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.”

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

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

Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.

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,

[t]hose who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

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.

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

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.

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.

When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

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

We love because he first loved us.

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