1 Corinthians 13:13

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

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.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

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.

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

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

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
    but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.  And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

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

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Righteousness guards the person of integrity,
    but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

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.
