- Where can I go to hide from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;
if I take my rest in the netherworld, you are also there. - This saying can be trusted:
If we have died with him,
we shall also live with him. - And opens the eyes of those who cannot see.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous. - But the Almighty we cannot find;
he is unequaled in power and judgment,
and in his righteousness he will not violate justice. - In that way, I can come to you in joy, if God so wills, and be refreshed together with you.
- In God, whose word I praise,
in God I place my trust and know no fear;
what can people do to me? - While experiencing temptation, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
- Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to my Father for help and he will not immediately send me more than twelve legions of angels?
- Jesus replied,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.” - Great is the Lord and worthy of the highest praise;
no one can even begin to comprehend his greatness. - For the entire Law can be summed up in a single commandment: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Can anyone withhold the water of baptism from these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?
- Jesus said,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.” - For our eyes are fixed not on what is seen but rather on that which cannot be seen. What is visible is transitory; what is invisible is eternal.
- And thus we can have confidence in him
that if we ask anything
that is in accordance with his will,
he hears us. - For much wisdom can result in much sorrow,
and those who increase their knowledge also increase their grief. - 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. - There is no salvation in anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved.
- I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever abides in me, and I in him,
will bear much fruit.
Apart from me you can do nothing. - For no one can be regarded as justified in the sight of God by keeping the Law. The Law brings only the consciousness of sin.
- If someone says, “I love God,”
but at the same time hates his brother,
he is a liar.
For whoever does not love the brother
whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen. - He did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all of us. How then can he fail also to give us everything else along with him?
- What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his very life? Or what can he give in exchange for his life?
- And where a single man can be overcome,
two together will be able to resist.
A cord with three strands is not easily broken. - For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out. If we have food and clothing, let us be content with these.

Even though the fig tree does not blossomand there is no fruit on the vines,
even though the olive crop will fail
and the orchards will yield no food,
even though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
I will continue to rejoice in the Lord,
and exult in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
