Ano Novo

31 But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.


13 How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

14 When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

15 But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

16 But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.

17 The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.


8 \34:7\The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.


10 For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

11 At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.


11 For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.


25 And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

26 And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.


14 And more than all, have love; the only way in which you may be completely joined together.

15 And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.


11 He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.


12 Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

13 Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

14 I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:


17 So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.


13 Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

14 I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.


3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,


10 \51:8\Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

11 \51:9\Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.


7 Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.
