All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.

But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to Your word. I seek You with all my heart; do not let me stray from Your commands. I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
