1 Corinthians 13:13

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,

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

 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

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.

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.
