1 Corinthians 13:13

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

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.

There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God.

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.
