¹³ Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹⁷ Give you comfort and strength in every good work and word.

¹² Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

⁸ To whom your love is given, though you have not seen him; and the faith which you have in him, though you do not see him now, gives you joy greater than words and full of glory:

¹¹ And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

⁴ And in my preaching there were no honeyed words of wisdom, but I was dependent on the power of the Spirit to make it clear to you:

⁴ And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:

⁵ And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

¹ Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope;

⁵ Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

¹⁸ And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

¹⁹ Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

⁸ And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

⁵ Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

²⁷ May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.

¹⁶ Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

⁸ O you hope of Israel, its saviour in time of trouble, why are you like one who is strange in the land, and like a traveller putting up his tent for a night?

¹² For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.
