Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
