the Lord hears and delivers them
out of all their troubles.

the Lord delivers him out of them
all. He keeps all his bones; not
one of them is broken.
(Psalm 34:17-20)

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall
be clean; wash me, and I shall be

all my iniquities. Create in me a
clean heart, O God, and renew a
right spirit within me. Cast me
not away from your presence, and
take not your Holy Spirit from me.

"Teacher, which is the great
commandment in the Law?” And he
said to him, “You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with
all your mind. This is the great
and first commandment. And a
second is like it: You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.
(Matthew 22:36-39)
ESV
For this reason God gave them up
to dishonorable passions. For
their women exchanged natural
relations for those that are
contrary to nature; and the men

with women and were consumed with
passion for one another, men
committing shameless acts with men
and receiving in themselves the
due penalty for their error.

Why do you pass judgment on your
brother? Or you, why do you
despise your brother? For we will
all stand before the judgment seat
of God; for it is written, “As I
live, says the Lord, every knee
shall bow to me, and every tongue
shall confess to God.” So then
each of us will give an account of
himself to God. Therefore let us
not pass judgment on one another
any longer, but rather decide
never to put a stumbling block or
hindrance in the way of a brother.
(Romans 14:10-13)
ESV
If I speak in the tongues of men
and of angels, but have not love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging
cymbal. And if I have prophetic
powers, and understand all
mysteries and all knowledge, and
if I have all faith, so as to
remove mountains, but have not
love, I am nothing. If I give away
all I have, and if I deliver up my
body to be burned, but have not
love, I gain nothing. Love is
patient and kind; love does not
envy or boast; it is not arrogant
or rude. It does not insist on its
own way; it is not irritable or
resentful; ...
(1 Corinthians 13:1-13)
ESV
But he said to me, “My grace is

more gladly of my weaknesses, so
that the power of Christ may rest
upon me.

heart.

faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.

perfected in love.
