Where the Real News is the Good News

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. 

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.
