- Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.

- But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases. - Yet I am the Lord your God
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For there is no savior besides Me. - Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
- Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
- But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
- Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
- Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who uphold my life. - Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
- Truly my soul silently waits for God;
From Him comes my salvation. - Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God. - And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them.

O God, lift up Your hand!

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.Next verse!With image
