Where the Real News is the Good News

For your ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all your paths.

The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Righteousness guards the person of integrity,
    but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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.

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

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 

Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
    but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

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

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

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

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
