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.

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

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.

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

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.

Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

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.

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

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

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
