Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

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.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!

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

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.

And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.

If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.

You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality.
