Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.

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

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

…yet 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!

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

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.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

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.

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

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

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.

If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
