1 Corinthians 13:13

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

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

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

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.

Whoever pursues righteousness and love
    finds life, prosperity and honor.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

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.

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

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

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,

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

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

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.

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.

I will praise you as long as I live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.

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. 

 

being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

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.

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

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

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.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

These people come near to me with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
    is based on merely human rules they have been taught.

Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
