'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' |

|
| For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. | |

|
| Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. |
|
|
|
| For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. | |
|
|
| "In that day," declares the LORD, "I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief." | |
|
|
| Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." | |
|
|
| "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." | |

| For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. | |
|
|
| 'And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.' | |
|
|
| 'What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him unclean.' | |
|
|
The tongue has the power of life and death, |
|
|
|
| Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. | |
|
|
| Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. | |
|
|
| We live by faith, not by sight. | |
|
|
| He suspends the earth over nothing. | |
