romans 5:1-11 . . . therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. more than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. for while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. for one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. for if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. more than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
psalm 145:14-21 . . . the Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. the eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand; You satisfy the desire of every living thing. the Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His works. the Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him; He also hears their cry and saves them. the Lord preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. my mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless His holy name forever and ever.
