Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things[a] have passed away.

Also, regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our dear brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart be courageous. Wait for the Lord.

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.

Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with a jubilant cry.

And we have this command from him: The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.

He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
