- What is born of the flesh is flesh,
and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. - Blessed is the one whose offense is forgiven,
whose sin is erased. - For the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver.
The Lord is our king;
he is the one who will save us. - Now this Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
- For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
- There is no holy one like the Lord,
there is none beside you,
nor is there a rock like our God. - Indeed, who is God except the Lord?
Who is the Rock besides our God? - Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. - For who is God except the Lord?
Who is a rock aside from our God? - The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.
- Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,
but the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts:
he is the King of glory. Selah - For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all is God.
- Let your love be sincere. Loathe what is evil and hold fast to what is good.
- This is the message
that we have heard from him
and that we declare to you:
God is light,
and there is no darkness at all in him. - A man’s attraction is his kindness;
it is far better to be poor than to be a liar. - Now an intermediary is not necessary when there is only one party, and God is one.
- Finally, brethren, let your minds be filled with whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, whatever is excellent, whatever is worthy of praise.
- And this is the testimony:
God gave us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son. - Dear children,
you are from God
and you have conquered them,
for the one who is in you is greater
than the one who is in the world. - For the word of the Lord is true,
and he is faithful in everything he does. - Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. - He replied, “What is impossible for men is possible for God.”
- Love is patient;
love is charitable.
Love is not envious;
it does not have an inflated opinion of itself;
it is not filled with its own importance.
Love is never rude;
it does not seek its own advantage.
It is not prone to anger;
neither does it brood over setbacks. - Now who is going to harm you if you are eager to do what is right?
The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety.He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress, so that I stand unshaken.
