They who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

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

For nothing will be impossible with God.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
