English Standard Version 2025

The reward for humility and fear of the LORD
is riches and honor and life.

Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

Proverbs 13:20

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
