- The Lord will battle for you. Be calm!
- Now who is going to harm you if you are eager to do what is right?
- And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do as much.
- When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
nor will the waters engulf you.
When you walk through fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not consume you. - If you know me,
then you will know my Father also.
From now on you do know him.
You have seen him. - Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you have faith you will see the glory of God?”
- If you love me,
you will keep my commandments. - “Peace be with you,” Jesus said to them again.
“As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.” - Whatever you ask for in faith-filled prayer, you will receive.
- Does God give you the Spirit and work mighty deeds among you because you have kept the Law or because you believed what you have heard?
- However, the Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
- Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth:
it is better for you that I depart.
For if I do not go away,
the Advocate will not come to you,
whereas if I go,
I will send him to you. - And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate
to be with you forever. - You will not add to what I command you, nor will you take away from it, so that you might observe the commandments of the Lord, your God, that I am giving you.
- Even when you reach old age
I will still be the same.
Even when your hair is gray,
I will still carry you.
I have made you and I will uphold you;
I will carry you and save you. - Seek good and not evil,
so that you may live.
Then the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you
as you claim he is. - I have told you these things
so that my joy may be in you
and your joy may be complete. - When you search for me, you will find me. When you seek me with all your heart.
- Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives
do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled;
be not afraid. - When they arrest you and bring you to trial, do not be concerned beforehand about what you are to say. Simply say whatever is given to you when that time comes, for it will not be you who speak but the Holy Spirit.
- When you call out to me and come forth and pray to me, I will listen to you.
- For I am longing to see you so that I may bestow on you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— or, rather, so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
- Therefore, you have no excuse, whoever you may be, when you pass judgment on others. For in judging others you condemn yourself, since you are doing the same things.
- I did not hesitate to tell you what was for your benefit as I proclaimed the word to you and taught you publicly as well as from house to house.
- The Lord, your God, will bless you as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but borrow from none. You shall rule over many nations, but none shall rule over you.
I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you. I will remove from your body a heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh in its place.If you abide in me
and my words abide in you,
you may ask for whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you. Live in harmony with one another. Do not consider yourself to be better than others, but associate with the lowly, and never be conceited.Next verse!With image
