For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours.

And [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ... that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].

May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love.

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

And hope will never fail to satisfy our deepest need because the Holy Spirit that was given to us has flooded our hearts with God’s love.

So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another—showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God’s way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.

Your calling is to fulfill the royal law of love as given to us in this Scripture: “You must love and value your neighbor as you love and value yourself!”

Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.

What are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.

Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.

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

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
