- Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
- Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave the guilt of my sin. - I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. - I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. - He must become greater; I must become less.
- I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever. - I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. - I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples. - I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.” - Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life. - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
- But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me. - Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.”
- I made a covenant with my eyes
not to look lustfully at a young woman. - ‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry forever.’ - That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
- Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands. - I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live. - Keep me safe, my God,
for in you I take refuge. - I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
- No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
- Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
- I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.
- I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. - Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
I instruct you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
