He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

We love because he first loved us.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”

Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

But this command I gave them: “Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.”

But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

The Lord knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever.

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
