1 Corinthians 13:13

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,

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.

Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 

 

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

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

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.
