Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart — they do no wrong but follow his ways.

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

LORD, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.

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

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.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

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

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The earth is filled with your love, LORD; teach me your decrees.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love.

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

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

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.

But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always.

Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.

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