As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that

So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.

With the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.

All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord.

When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon y

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. “In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I called.

That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection fro

"And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Chri

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.

At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his domin
