That you may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was on my mother’s breasts. I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Watch you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time, neither shall be.
And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
