…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.

Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.

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

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

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

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;

…those 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.

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.

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

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.
The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread.

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.
