9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible."
9 and he judges the world with righteousness, he judges the peoples with equity.
10 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
18 The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings.
19 The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.
17 Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.
7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband;
3 and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them;
4 he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."
13 Follow the pattern of the sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus;
14 guard the truth that has been entrusted to you by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.
16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
22 His speech was smoother than butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
105 Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
33 I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
12 Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.
16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day.
17 For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
11 I am coming soon; hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
7 But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded."
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.
7 "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
5 Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb!
6 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy! [ (Psalms 126:7) He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. ]
6 And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
24 Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but abundantly requites him who acts haughtily. [ (Psalms 31:25) Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! ]
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
12 Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life;

18 "I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you.
17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ.
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
9 And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.
12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;
24 and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want.

3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
