- For nothing will be impossible for God.
- Now we know that if the earthly tent in which we live is destroyed, we have a dwelling prepared for us by God, a dwelling in the heavens, not made with human hands, that will be eternal.
- Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth. - For who is God except the Lord?
Who is a rock aside from our God? - This is what love is:
not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. - All this has been done by God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation.
- And do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one. - Protect me, O God,
for in you I take refuge. - For a child has been born to us,
a son has been given to us.
Upon his shoulders dominion rests,
and this is the name he has been given:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. - Give us this day our daily bread.
- 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?
- And this is the testimony:
God gave us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. - Restore us, O Lord of hosts;
let your face shine upon us,
and we will be saved. - But as for me, I will look to the Lord.
I place my hope in God my savior;
my God will hear me. - But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God saved us and called us to a life of holiness, not because of our works but according to his own purpose and the grace that has been bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus from all eternity.
- May the favor of the Lord, our God, rest upon us.
And may the work of our hands prosper—
indeed, may the work of our hands prosper. - See what love
the Father has bestowed on us,
enabling us to be called the children of God,
and that is what we are.
If the world does not recognize us,
that is because it did not know him. - Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. For God all things are possible.”
- Therefore, we love because he first loved us.
- Whoever does not love
does not know God,
because God is love. - As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - 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. - For there is one God,
and there is one mediator between God and man,
Christ Jesus, himself a man.
Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name give glory
because of your kindness and faithfulness.Keep alert; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Let us never grow weary in doing what is right, for if we do not give up, we will reap our harvest in due time.Next verse!With image
