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.

A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

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

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

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.

As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

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.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

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

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

Fear of man will prove to be a snare,
    but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

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.

you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

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

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.

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.

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,

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.
