1 Corinthians 13:13

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

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,

“Hosanna!”

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
    and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

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

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

Walk with the wise and become wise,
    for a companion of fools suffers harm.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

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

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

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him,

These people come near to me with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
    is based on merely human rules they have been taught.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

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

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
