The LORD is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.

The kingdom that God has given you will last forever and ever. You rule over your people with justice;

you love what is right and hate what is evil. That is why God, your God, has chosen you and has poured out more happiness on you than on any other king.

Mighty king, you love what is right; you have established justice in Israel; you have brought righteousness and fairness.

And yet the LORD is waiting to be merciful to you. He is ready to take pity on you because he always does what is right. Happy are those who put their trust in the LORD.

The LORD says, "I love justice and I hate oppression and crime. I will faithfully reward my people And make an eternal covenant with them.

If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the LORD, have spoken."

I am old now; I have lived a long time, but I have never seen good people abandoned by the LORD or their children begging for food.

He helps them and rescues them; he saves them from the wicked, because they go to him for protection.

They are like trees planted in the house of the LORD, that flourish in the Temple of our God,

This shows that the LORD is just, that there is no wrong in my protector.

And I make a covenant with you: I have given you my power and my teachings to be yours forever, and from now on you are to obey me and teach your children and your descendants to obey me for all time to come."

I will make an eternal covenant with them. I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will make them fear me with all their heart, so that they will never turn away from me.

I will take pleasure in doing good things for them, and I will establish them permanently in this land.

"I am telling you the truth: those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life. They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life.

And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.

For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day."

I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me.

The Father and I are one."

I love you just as the Father loves me; remain in my love.

These people really did not belong to our fellowship, and that is why they left us; if they had belonged to our fellowship, they would have stayed with us. But they left so that it might be clear that none of them really belonged to us.

They are for you, who through faith are kept safe by God's power for the salvation which is ready to be revealed at the end of time.

From Jude, servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James--- To those who have been called by God, who live in the love of God the Father and the protection of Jesus Christ:

None of their descendants will survive; the king will kill them all.

Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation.

They have no descendants, no survivors.

They may have many sons, but all will be killed in war; their children never have enough to eat.

But God will snatch the wicked from the land and pull sinners out of it like plants from the ground.

Because you ruined your country and killed your own people, you will not be buried like other kings. None of your evil family will survive.

Let the slaughter begin! The sons of this king will die because of their ancestors' sins. None of them will ever rule the earth or cover it with cities.
