Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends. He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord . Heal me, Lord , and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret. He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Next verse! With image
