- May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands. - May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him. - Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. - His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
- And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
- Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
- For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
- No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
- See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
- For the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king;
it is he who will save us. - Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
- As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us. - But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
- But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
- For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning.
- Lord, save us!
Lord, grant us success!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
From the house of the Lord we bless you. - Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
- The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.
- And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
- In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
- And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.
