- If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.
- A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold. - Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
- Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.
- But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
- I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you. - Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you. - When I thought, “My foot is slipping,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. - Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. - For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds. - He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. - Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. - O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever. - God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God.
- My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? - And steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work. - Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.
- By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
- Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.
- For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. - So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. - For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- For who is God except the Lord?
And who is a rock besides our God?
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
