Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful,

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD. Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart. They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently. Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes! . . .

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
