- In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
and the Lord answered me and set me free. - But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.
- Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice,
an endless river of righteous living. - When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.
- For you bless the godly, O Lord;
you surround them with your shield of love. - But Lord, you remain the same forever!
Your throne continues from generation to generation. - But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
- Every word of God proves true.
He is a shield to all who come to him for protection. - Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
Don’t forget my words or turn away from them. - He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. - God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied. - So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
- Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise. - Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.
- Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth. - Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth. - And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
- Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things.
Make known his praise around the world. - Good comes to those who lend money generously
and conduct their business fairly. - So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
- So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
- Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
- For,
There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. - O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. - But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.
