- How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word. - And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.”
- What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
- In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me? - Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?
- What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
- I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
- Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
“I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.” - If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
- Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before me.
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
