In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
