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!

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

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

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.”

The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.

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.

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.

And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

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

He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

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

They will be my people, and I will be their God.

For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
