Ps 118:14-23
14 The LORD is my strength
and my song; he has become my salvation.
15 Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's
right hand has done mighty things!
16 The LORD's
right hand is lifted high; the LORD's right hand has
done mighty things!"
17 I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.
18 The LORD has chastened me
severely, but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of
righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the
LORD through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks,
for you answered me; you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders
rejected has become the capstone;
23 the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes. (NIV)
I Jn 5:11-13
11 And this is the
testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He who has the Son has
life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 I write these things to
you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you
have eternal life. (NIV)
Phil 2:12-13
12 Therefore,
my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-- not only in my presence, but now
much more in my absence-- continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act
according to his good purpose. (NIV)
28 We proclaim
him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present
everyone perfect in Christ.
29 To this end
I labor, struggling with all his energy,
which so powerfully works in me. (NIV)
