22 Because Of The LORD’s Great Love

9 But You Are A Chosen People, A Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, God’s Special Possession, That You May Declare The Praises Of Him Who Called You Out Of Darkness Into His Wonderful Light. 10 Once You Were Not A People, But Now You Are The People Of God; Once You Had Not Received Mercy, But Now You Have Received Mercy. 11 Dear Friends, I Urge You, As Foreigners And Exiles, To Abstain From Sinful Desires, Which Wage War Against Your Soul.

7 “Be Strong And Very Courageous. Be Careful To Obey All The Law My Servant Moses Gave You; Do Not Turn From It To The Right Or To The Left, That You May Be Successful Wherever You Go.

For Our Light And Momentary Troubles Are Achieving For Us An Eternal Glory That Far Outweighs Them All.

Humble Yourselves, Therefore, Under The Mighty Hand Of God So That At The Proper Time He May Exalt You, Casting All Your Anxieties On Him, Because He Cares For You.

My Comfort In My Suffering Is This: Your Promise Preserves My Life.
