And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, thou wilt not despise. And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Thou art all fair, my love;
there is no spot in thee. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 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. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the Lord. The entrance of thy words giveth light;
it giveth understanding unto the simple. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud,
thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins:
return unto me;
for I have redeemed thee. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us. The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.Next verse!With image
