Comparing Ourselves

For no word from God will ever fail.”

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.

In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
