For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Praise be to the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he has made you king, to maintain justice and righteousness.

All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.

Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
