- Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
- And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
- O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!
- I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
- Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
- See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.
- Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
- Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
- But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.
- Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
- And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
- For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
- Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.
- Let your favor shine on your servant.
In your unfailing love, rescue me. - No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
- The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
- Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
- Lord, don’t hold back your tender mercies from me.
Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. - Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
but to your name goes all the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness. - And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.
- Better to have little, with godliness,
than to be rich and dishonest. - Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!
- But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)
- Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. - Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.”
