in the land of the living. - Only goodness and kindness will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever and ever. - For light produces all goodness and righteousness and truth.
- How great is your goodness, O Lord,
which you have stored up for those who fear you
and which you bestow on those who take refuge in you,
in the presence of all the people. - Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- Hence, be imitators of God, as beloved children.
- Be mindful, O Lord, that mercy and kindness
have been yours from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth
or my many transgressions,
but remember me in your kindness,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord. - Blessed are the peacemakers,

except the one who believes
that Jesus is the Son of God? - And take the helmet of salvation as well as the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

to believe in the one whom he has sent.” - Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.

to the glory of God the Father:
Jesus Christ is Lord. - Beloved,
let us love one another,
because love is from God.
Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. - The Spirit himself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God.
- The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is filled with his kindness. - In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
- Therefore, accept one another for the glory of God, just as Christ has accepted you.
- For everyone born of God
conquers the world.
And the victory that conquers the world
is our faith. - A good man produces good from the store of goodness in his heart, whereas an evil man produces evil from the store of evil within him. For the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.
Put on the armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the deceit of the devil.Keep falsehood and lying far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but simply provide me with the food that I need. If you forgive others for the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.Next verse!With image
