¹⁰ Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.

²² Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

¹ Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.

¹⁹ We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.

³⁵ For whoever gets me gets life, and grace from the Lord will come to him.

⁷ Be not tricked; God is not made sport of: for whatever seed a man puts in, that will he get back as grain.

³ In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.

⁸ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.

¹⁶ And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.

²⁰ If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?

¹² No man has ever seen God: if we have love for one another, God is in us and his love is made complete in us:

¹³ For I, the Lord your God, have taken your right hand in mine, saying to you, Have no fear; I will be your helper.

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.

¹ O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.

¹⁷ The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

² O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

⁴ Be glad in the Lord at all times: again I say, Be glad.

³ For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.

⁸ By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

⁴ For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.
