1 Corinthians 13:13

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

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

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

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.

 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

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

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

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.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
    but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

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

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.

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

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God.

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

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

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

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

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

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.
