me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (NIV)

is patient, love is kind, it isn’t jealous, it doesn’t brag, it isn’t
arrogant….” (CEB)
“With
all your heart you must trust the Lord and not your own judgment.” (CEV)

not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform
you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know
