Faith Hope Love
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
“I have loved you with an everlasting love;
I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
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?
Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
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.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him,
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal lifeand will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
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.
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.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
