For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity.
but of power,
love,
and self-discipline.
So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord…

Jesus replied,
“If you only knew the gift God has for you
and who you are speaking to,
you would ask me,
and I would give you living water.”
…those who drink the water I give
will never be thirsty again.
It becomes a fresh,
bubbling spring within them,
giving them eternal life.”
…anyone who believes in God’s Son
has eternal life.
Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son
will never experience eternal life
but remains under God’s angry judgment.
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
…There is one God and one Mediator
who can reconcile God and humanity—
the man Christ Jesus.
He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.
…pray for all people.
Ask God to help them;
intercede on their behalf,
and give thanks for them.
This is good and pleases God our Savior,
who wants everyone to be saved
and to understand the truth.
…fight well in the Lord’s battles.
Cling to your faith in Christ,
and keep your conscience clear.
This is a trustworthy saying,
and everyone should accept it:
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”…
…Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly
and be honored wherever it goes…
May the Lord lead your hearts
into a full understanding and expression
of the love of God
and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself
and God our Father,
who loved us and by his grace
gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope,
comfort you and strengthen you
in every good thing you do and say.
