- Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
- Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. - Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. - And keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn.
- Whoever gets sense loves his own soul;
he who keeps understanding will discover good. - Trust in the Lord, and do good;
dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. - Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands! - Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones. - Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered. - So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. - This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good,
and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. - So that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.
- These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
- So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
- And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.
- And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
- And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
- Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.
- I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth. - Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices! - No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication from me, declares the Lord. - I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
- Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
You shall walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
