being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,

Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?

“For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.

What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.

The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

Yahweh’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.

Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy,

He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.

The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

I considered my ways, and turned my steps to your statutes.

For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.

A simple man believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.

Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways.

This is what Yahweh of Armies says: “Consider your ways.

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

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