“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
For nothing will be impossible with God.”
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
In hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began
For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.

With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
Let all that you do be done in love.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. ...
Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name.
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
