- Lord, save us!
Lord, grant us success!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
From the house of the Lord we bless you. - Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
- If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
- Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.”
- Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
- Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
- This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
- To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
- You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance. - Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
- Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me. - Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
- Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
- So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
- Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
- May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
- I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.
- Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind. - In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
- The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
- Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
- You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
