- Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!
- Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.
- Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
- And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
- Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.
- Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.
- I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
- For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
- And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
- Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
- May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—
he is the King of glory. In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.Next verse!With image
