God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD.

We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.

But the person who loves God is known by him.

Happy are those who remain faithful under trials, because when they succeed in passing such a test, they will receive as their reward the life which God has promised to those who love him.

Listen, my dear friends! God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him.

You love him, although you have not seen him, and you believe in him, although you do not now see him. So you rejoice with a great and glorious joy which words cannot express,

We love because God first loved us.

This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.

For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us,

Turn away from evil and do good; strive for peace with all your heart.

They make evil plans as they lie in bed; nothing they do is good, and they never reject anything evil.

Turn away from evil and do good, and your descendants will always live in the land;

and will never tolerate evil. I hate the actions of those who turn away from God; I will have nothing to do with them.

I gain wisdom from your laws, and so I hate all bad conduct.

I hate and detest all lies, but I love your law.

Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the LORD and refuse to do wrong.

To honor the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and false words.

Hate what is evil, love what is right, and see that justice prevails in the courts. Perhaps the LORD will be merciful to the people of this nation who are still left alive.

I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate.

What an unhappy man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is taking me to death?

Love must be completely sincere. Hate what is evil, hold on to what is good.

Love the LORD, all his faithful people. The LORD protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve.

for the LORD loves what is right and does not abandon his faithful people. He protects them forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be driven out.

The LORD saves the righteous and protects them in times of trouble.

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

He protects everyone who loves him, but he will destroy the wicked.

He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to him.

But Israel is saved by the LORD, and her victory lasts forever; her people will never be disgraced.' "

Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

In his disciples' presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book.

We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.

And so those whom God set apart, he called; and those he called, he put right with himself, and he shared his glory with them.

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.

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the righteous; if they did, the righteous themselves might do evil.

I will rescue you from the power of wicked and violent people. I, the LORD, have spoken."

The king said, "Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and rescued these men who serve and trust him. They disobeyed my orders and risked their lives rather than bow down and worship any god except their own.

God sent his angel to shut the mouths of the lions so that they would not hurt me. He did this because he knew that I was innocent and because I have not wronged you, Your Majesty."

He saves and rescues; he performs wonders and miracles in heaven and on earth. He saved Daniel from being killed by the lions."

Then the Wicked One will be revealed, but when the Lord Jesus comes, he will kill him with the breath from his mouth and destroy him with his dazzling presence.

and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved.

The result is that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in sin, will be condemned.

Pray also that God will rescue us from wicked and evil people; for not everyone believes the message.

We know that no children of God keep on sinning, for the Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot harm them.

All people living on earth will worship it, except those whose names were written before the creation of the world in the book of the living which belongs to the Lamb that was killed.
