1 Corinthians 13:13

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

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

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

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

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. 

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower;
    the righteous run to it and are safe.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

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,

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

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.
