For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.

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

So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.

Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith."

But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for s

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

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

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.”

My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed.

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

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

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

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.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.

The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”

May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
