so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Are they servants of Christ? I’m talking like a madman— I’m a better one: with far more labors, many more imprisonments, far worse beatings, many times near death.Five times I received the forty lashes minus one from the Jews.Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked. I have spent a night and a day in the open sea.On frequent journeys, I faced dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, and dangers among false brothers;toil and hardship, many sleepless nights, hunger and thirst, often without food, cold, and without clothing.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humanity.

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he rescued them from their distress.He led them by the right path to go to a city where they could live.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.For he has satisfied the thirsty and filled the hungry with good things.Others sat in darkness and gloom— prisoners in cruel chains—because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the counsel of the Most High.He broke their spirits with hard labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help.Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he saved them from their distress.He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their chains apart.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.For he has broken down the bronze gates and cut through the iron bars.Fools suffered affliction because of their rebellious ways and their iniquities.They loathed all food and came near the gates of death.Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; he saved them from their distress.He sent his word and healed them; he rescued them from their traps.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices and announce his works with shouts of joy.Others went to sea in ships, conducting trade on the vast water.They saw the LORD’s works, his wondrous works in the deep.He spoke and raised a stormy wind that stirred up the waves of the sea.Rising up to the sky, sinking down to the depths, their courage melting away in anguish,they reeled and staggered like a drunkard, and all their skill was useless.Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.He stilled the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet. Then he guided them to the harbor they longed for.Let them give thanks to the LORD for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders.He turns rivers into desert, springs into thirsty ground,and fruitful land into salty wasteland, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.He turns a desert into a pool, dry land into springs.He causes the hungry to settle there, and they establish a city where they can live.They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; he does not let their livestock decrease.When they are diminished and are humbled by cruel oppression and sorrow,he pours contempt on nobles and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.But he lifts the needy out of their suffering and makes their families multiply like flocks.The upright see it and rejoice, and all injustice shuts its mouth.Let whoever is wise pay attention to these things and consider the LORD’s acts of faithful love.

Speak up and present your case— yes, let them consult each other. Who predicted this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but me, a righteous God and Savior; there is no one except me.Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth. For I am God, and there is no other.

We are not giving anyone an occasion for offense, so that the ministry will not be blamed.Instead, as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardships, by difficulties,by beatings, by imprisonments, by riots, by labors, by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,by the word of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left,through glory and dishonor, through slander and good report; regarded as deceivers, yet true;as unknown, yet recognized; as dying, yet see— we live; as being disciplined, yet not killed;as grieving, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

But if I should be delayed, I have written so that you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

Let the redeemed of the LORD proclaim that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe

For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;we labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the scum of the earth, like everyone’s garbage.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your judgments like the deepest sea. LORD, you preserve people and animals.

But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance,along with the persecutions and sufferings that came to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured— and yet the Lord rescued me from them all.In fact, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

Who among you fears the LORD and listens to his servant? Who among you walks in darkness, and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.

The LORD helps and delivers them; he will deliver them from the wicked and will save them because they take refuge in him.

Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed,“ Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and rescued his servants who trusted in him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

The person who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence indeed is the LORD, is blessed.
