- For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
- I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need.
- Rend your hearts and not your clothing.
Return to the Lord, your God,
for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love,
and relents from punishing. - Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
- Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.
The Rock, his work is perfect,
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God, without deceit,
just and upright is he. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.Next verse!With image
