1 Corinthians 13:13

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

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.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”

Blessed are those who keep his statutes
    and seek him with all their heart—

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.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

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

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.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

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

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

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

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lionlooking for someone to devour. 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.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

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.

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

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

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. 

Whoever pursues righteousness and love
    finds life, prosperity and honor.

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.
