but a wise person stays calm when insulted. - Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech. - Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.
- Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path. - But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
and he will stand upon the earth at last. - As they strained to see him rising into heaven, two white-robed men suddenly stood among them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why are you standing here staring into heaven? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go!”
- The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever. - The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.

follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers. - So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

- But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil.
- But he knows where I am going.
And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.
For I have stayed on God’s paths;
I have followed his ways and not turned aside. - Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.
- Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me. - O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. - So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
- Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

because of your unfailing love.

blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
