- For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
- A thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night. - In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
- Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:
He appeared in the flesh,
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory. - Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
- Do everything in love.
- For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
- You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
- I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
- I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower.
- Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
- The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it. - If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?
- God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. - God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
- I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
- Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
- But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
for he has been good to me. - Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
- Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
- For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope. - The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.”
