- Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth. - Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.”
- Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.”
- No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
- Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.”
- But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out; for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”
- When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
- While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
- And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
- For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ, but of suffering for him as well.
- Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
- This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
- All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.
- I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death.
- For ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said,
‘For we too are his offspring.’ - Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
- This God—his way is perfect;
the promise of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all who take refuge in him. - For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
- And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
- Sing to God, sing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds —
his name is the Lord—
be exultant before him.
Father of orphans and protector of widows
is God in his holy habitation. - For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
- Surely he has borne our infirmities
and carried our diseases;
yet we accounted him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted. - Take good care to observe the commandment and instruction that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, and to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
- Only fear the Lord, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.
For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah
