13 Come now, you{} who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and will gain:
14 whereas you{} don't know what will be on the next day. What is your{} life? For you{} are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
15 Instead you{} ought to say, If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.
16 But now you{} glory in your{} vauntings: all such glorying is evil.
17 To him therefore that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.
31 but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings as eagles; they will run, and not be weary; they will walk, and not faint.
8 Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good: Blessed is the [noble] man who takes refuge in him.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you{}, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you{} hope in your{} latter end.
10 For they indeed for a few days chastened [us] as seemed good to them; but he for [our] profit, that [we] may be partakers of his holiness.
11 And all chastening seems for the present not to be joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields peaceable fruit to those who have been exercised by it, [even the fruit] of righteousness.
17 Therefore if any man is in Christ, [he is] a new creation: the old things are passed away; look, they have become new.
14 and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your{} hearts, to the which you{} also were called in one body; and be{} thankful.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit inside me.
11 Don't cast me away from your presence; And don't take your holy Spirit from me.
13 Brothers, I don't count myself to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 I press on toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time: also he has set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
7 Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him: Don't fret yourself because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if also I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.
13 Brothers, I don't count myself to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 I press on toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you{} are otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you{}:
25 And I will sprinkle clean water on you{}, and you{} will be clean: from all your{} filthiness, and from all your{} idols, I will cleanse you{}.
26 A new heart also I will give you{}, and a new spirit I will put inside you{}; and I will take away the stony heart out of your{} flesh, and I will give you{} a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my Spirit inside you{}, and cause you{} to walk in my statutes, and you{} will keep my ordinances, and do them.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begot us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
