I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” aren’t you fleshly?

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live.

The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock.

Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.

Then my enemy will see it, and shame will cover her who said to me, where is Yahweh your God? Then my enemy will see me and will cover her shame. Now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.
