I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

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

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.

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

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.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an examplefor the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

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

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and[ will call him Immanuel.

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 temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

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.

Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

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.
