- This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
- Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.
- As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
- But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Take words with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
“Forgive all our sins
and receive us graciously,
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.” - But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.
- There is no one holy like the Lord;
there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
- Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
- The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
- Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,
we wait for you;
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts. - This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
- For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
- Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
- But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
- ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
- We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
- Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
- For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.
- And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Bible verse of the day
“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
