In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.

Let them praise Your great and awesome name— He is holy.

But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

...Put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

For the wages of sin is death, But the gift of God is eternal life In Christ Jesus our Lord.

This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.
