1 Corinthians 13:13

Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.

but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
    but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.

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.

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

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

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.

 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Walk with the wise and become wise,
    for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.

so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
