Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.

And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

Bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
