1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

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.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Teach me to do your will,
    for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
    lead me on level ground.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.

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

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

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring itto pass.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

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.

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

“In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

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

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

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

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

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

He who finds a wife finds what is good
    and receives favor from the Lord.

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.

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

Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

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

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.

They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
