The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.

Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love!

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, "Here I am." If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness.

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

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 is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

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

Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.

The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
