- God is our refuge and our strength,
a well-proved help in times of trouble. - Do you not realize that you are God’s temple, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - O God, you are my God,
for whom I have been searching earnestly.
My soul yearns for you
and my body thirsts for you,
like the earth when it is parched,
arid and without water. - For you, O God, have put us to the test;
you have purified us as silver is refined. - You, O Lord, are light for my lamp;
O my God, you make my darkness turn to light. - Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a resolute spirit within me. - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Do not let your hearts be troubled.
You place your trust in God.
Trust also in me. - Hence, be subject to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
- Hear, O Israel, the Lord, our God, is Lord alone. You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
- Now an intermediary is not necessary when there is only one party, and God is one.
- For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all is God.
- Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to all those on whom his favor rests. - Let everyone submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which derives from God, and whatever authorities exist have been instituted by God.
- How great you are, Lord God! There is no one like you, and there is no God except you alone, as everything that we have heard confirms.
- God is Spirit,
and those who worship him
must worship in Spirit and truth. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory shine over all the earth. - I will extol you, my God and King;
I will bless your name forever and ever. - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory shine over all the earth. - Adulterers! Do you not know that love of the world results in enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a lover of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
- 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. - Jesus replied, “Blessed, rather, are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
- Moreover, the one to whom God grants wealth and possessions and the ability to enjoy them and to find contentment in his toil receives a gift from God.
- I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything impossible for me to accomplish?
Therefore, we fasted and prayed to God to grant us a safe journey, and he answered our prayer.If you abide in me
and my words abide in you,
you may ask for whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you.
