keep them within your heart. - Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. - But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.Next verse!With image
