- Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.
- I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever. - All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.
- Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
- No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
- No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.
- And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power
belong to the one sitting on the throne
and to the Lamb forever and ever.” - Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.
- Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
- I have been the Lord your God
ever since I brought you out of Egypt.
You must acknowledge no God but me,
for there is no other savior. - Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice,
an endless river of righteous living. - Now may the God of peace—
who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus,
the great Shepherd of the sheep,
and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood—
may he equip you with all you need
for doing his will.
May he produce in you,
through the power of Jesus Christ,
every good thing that is pleasing to him.
All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. - Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God. - For the word of God will never fail.
- For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
- God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through? - Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have.
- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
- What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
- But I will be merciful only if you stop your evil thoughts and deeds and start treating each other with justice; only if you stop exploiting foreigners, orphans, and widows; only if you stop your murdering; and only if you stop harming yourselves by worshiping idols. Then I will let you stay in this land that I gave to your ancestors to keep forever.
- God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. - For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
- Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. - Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right.Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’ For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.Next verse!With image
