Where the Real News is the Good News

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and[ will call him Immanuel.

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.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

The Lord says:

"These people come near to me with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
    is based on merely human rules they have been taught."

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
