- Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world. - Such people will not be overcome by evil.
Those who are righteous will be long remembered. - And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his name alone will be worshiped.
- Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
- Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
- Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
- O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed;
if you save me, I will be truly saved.
My praises are for you alone! - This is what I told them: ‘Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’
- But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.
- Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth. - This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
- The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.
- You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own.
- But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”

- You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
- So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
- Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
May your glory shine over all the earth. - God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted. - The generous will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. - But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
- So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
