“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”

He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

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

All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.

But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

I and the Father are one.”

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

“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.”

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
