1 Corinthians 13:13

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.

Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnessesin Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Trust in the Lord forever,
    for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2   He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

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

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.

All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrificesGod is pleased.
