Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses.

He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

I, I am he who comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, of the son of man who is made like grass.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
