Where the Real News is the Good News

Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

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.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
