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.

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

The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

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

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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.

We love because He first loved us.

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

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.

For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

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

You, Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

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

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

For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

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

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

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

Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

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

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.

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

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

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!”

The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.

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

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

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

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.

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

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

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

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

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?

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
