- The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.
- The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. - Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.
- So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
- I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you. - But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
- It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
- But test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil.
- May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
- But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.
- O Lord, all my longing is known to you;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - I have taught you the way of wisdom;
I have led you in the paths of uprightness. - Put away from you crooked speech,
and put devious talk far from you. - Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you. - See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.
- Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you.
- Do not fear, for I am with you,
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. - O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. - Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—
in peace because they trust in you. - I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah - For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Do not fear,
I will help you.” - And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you.
- I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises to you among the nations. - They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
- When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died.The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us.
