| For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. | For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom. |
| He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. | God saved us and called us to a life of holiness, not because of our works but according to his own purpose and the grace that has been bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus from all eternity. |
Bible verse of the day
I spread out my hands to you;I thirst for you like a parched land.
