- I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. - You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” - But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
- Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
- The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.”

- Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
his greatness is unsearchable. - Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.”
- But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
- Jesus answered him, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”
- Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.”
- Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
- Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them.
- Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.
- Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
a raging flame. - Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
- You shall not make gods of silver alongside me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
- Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
- Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from one person's envy of another. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
- Above all, my beloved, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes and your “No” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
- One thing I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in his temple. - For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.
- Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.
- And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
- Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.”
So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.Next verse!With image
