I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

If my people pray and seek my face, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin. 

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
