- If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.
- A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
and favor is better than silver or gold. - But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
- Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
- Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
- Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.
- I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you. - Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you. - When I thought, “My foot is slipping,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. - Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love. - The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. - God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God.
- My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? - For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds. - Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.
- Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.
- He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. - Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love. - By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever. - And steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work. - So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. - For who is God except the Lord?
And who is a rock besides our God? - For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you.He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.Next verse!With image
