For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

We love because he first loved us.

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

‘For the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’

The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.

And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

“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.”

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

... so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
