My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

He builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation on the earth; he calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land— the Lord is his name.

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.

We love because He first loved us.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.

These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

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

For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?

A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.

For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

“Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.

There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.

Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.

For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
