that the Son of God has come
and given us understanding
so that we can know the one who is true.

rather than relying on your own intelligence.
In everything you do, acknowledge him,
and he will see that your paths are straight. - In peace I lie down and sleep,
for only with your help, O Lord,
can I rest secure.
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.It is better to be a patient man rather than a warrior,
one who controls his temper rather than one who captures a city. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.Next verse!With image
