1 Corinthians 13:13

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.”

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

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,

Teach us to number our days,
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

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

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

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

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful;he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

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

 For,

“All people are like grass

 and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;

the grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

 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.

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.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

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.

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

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.

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.
