- Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. - This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
- The Lord is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him. - Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
- The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. - This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
- All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.
- ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
- As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him. - Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them.
- The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. - I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.” - As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him. - God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
- And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
- For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
- The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him. - The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
- In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
- For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
- Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
- Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun. - If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
- Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him.Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
