1 Corinthians 13:13

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

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

You are my refuge and my shield;
    I have put my hope in your word.

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrificesGod is pleased.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in you.

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

You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

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

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.

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
