38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

5 I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
