1 Corinthians 13:13

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.

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.

 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lionlooking for someone to devour. 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.
