1 A wise son makes a glad father, But a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

9 “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments…

18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear…

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

3 But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

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

1 O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
