1 Corinthians 13:13

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

 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

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.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and[ will call him Immanuel.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.

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.
