- Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say: Rejoice!
- Honor your father and your mother so that your days may be lengthened in the land that the Lord your God, will give you.
- My deliverance and my glory depend on God;
he is my mighty rock and my refuge. - In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. - Just as you do not know the path of the wind
or how the body is formed in a woman’s womb,
so you do not know the work of God,
the Creator of all. - Keep in mind, therefore, that the Lord, your God, is God. He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant of mercy to the thousandth generation toward those who love him and observe his commandments.
- You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
- “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
- For everyone born of God
conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world
is our faith. - Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. - The Lord will fulfill his plan for me.
Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever;
do not forsake the work of your hands. - So today acknowledge it and take it to heart that the Lord is God in the heavens above and on the earth below. There is no other.
- Reflect on the Lord and his strength;
seek his face continually. - There is only one thing I ask of the Lord,
just one thing I seek:
to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
so that I may enjoy the beauty of the Lord
and gaze on his temple. - For there is one God,
and there is one mediator between God and man,
Christ Jesus, himself a man. - All this knowledge comes from the Lord of hosts
whose counsel is wonderful
and whose wisdom is great. - Indeed, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
- Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - And every tongue should proclaim
to the glory of God the Father:
Jesus Christ is Lord. - This is the message
that we have heard from him
and that we declare to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness at all in him. - And eternal life is this:
to know you,
the only true God,
and the one you have sent,
Jesus Christ. - Be still and acknowledge that I am God,
exalted among the nations,
exalted on the earth. - But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those who trust in his kindness. - Before the mountains were brought forth
or the earth and the world came into existence,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God. - This is how we can be certain
that we abide in him
and that he abides in us:
he has given us a share in his Spirit.
The name of the Lord is a tower of strength;
the upright man runs to it and finds refuge.After he said this, he was lifted up as they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
