whose confidence is in him.

that sends out its roots by the stream.

and never fails to bear fruit. - Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.Next verse!With image
