And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always…
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
