1 Corinthians 13:13

Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

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

Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

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

Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

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

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

who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2   He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

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.

However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

 The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:

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