This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
