- But the Scripture has confined everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
- For,
“The one who desires life, to love and see good days,
Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
He must turn away from evil and do good;
He must seek peace and pursue it.” - For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
- And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him.
- Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?
- For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
- Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in your power to do it. - For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You. - Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”
- How much more valuable then is a person than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.
- If I have the gift of prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
- A good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold. - Seek good and not evil, so that you may live;
And so may the Lord God of armies be with you,
Just as you have said! - Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. - Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down,
But a good word makes it glad. - And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people.”
- We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is only fitting, because your faith is increasing abundantly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another grows ever greater.
- Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
- For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established; that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
- Looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
- For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
- But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
- For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will complete it by the day of Christ Jesus.
- And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
- No one is to seek his own advantage, but rather that of his neighbor.
