But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love.
Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you”
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
